Oilmen and Ecologists in Accord Board of Big Game Control On Drilling Rules, Regulations Sets Dates for Utah Hunters A classic confrontation and accommodation has occurred between oil industry and conservation forces in Florida. The confrontation began in 1971, when Gov. Reubin Askew granted a permit to an oil company to drill a wildcat well in the Big Cypress Swamp, thus lifting a moratorium on drilling in that area that had been in effort for years. The Florida Audubon Society and other conservationists objected, and a special advisory committee was set up to investigate drilling applications. The committee included Chris Jensen, executive director of the Floirda Petroleum Council and Hal Scott, executive director of the Florida Audubon Society. After hearings on the drilling, Scott said, I had to admit to myself that I knew nothing of the kinds of oil technology that would be used in drilling these wells. At the same time it was clear that the vast majority of those supporting the oil drilling could not understand why we conservationists were fighting so vigorously to protect what they look upon as a vast waste land. Scott and Jensen undertook to educate both factions. One group from the society visited oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico and at Jay, Florida and learned of the anti-spi- ll methods, including a new type of storm choke designed to stop the flow of oil from wells in case of an accident. In turn, oilmen visited Big Cypress, where they saw alligators sunning, orchids hanging from trees in clusters and concentrations of ibises, cranes and other exotic birds. and Scott said the resulting ' views of continuing exchange has benefited the industry, the conseravtion forces and most important, the people of Florida. We no longer see each other as caricatures, but as sincere, conscientious citizens of the same land who have frequent or wide differences of opinion. The committee meetings resulted in a new set of rules and regulations regarding the drilling. According to the Florida Naturalist, the Audubon Societys magazine, the state of Florida now has greater control over the activity of the oil industry than does any other state in the union. Though additional costs of nearly $20,000 per well will be incurred the oil industry considers the rules fair and sensible. Letters to the Editor Project Concern wishes to thank the people of Salt Lake City for their support in the May Walk for Mankind. Thousands of hours were volunteered so that the Walk could be successful, and we are particularly grateful to Walk Director Robert Cook and his dedicated committee for their tre- mendous leadership. For all the miles walked on May 12th the distance covered really represented a bridging of the space between people from all parts of the world, regardless of nationality, who hurt the same who laugh the same and who need the same kind of love. We pledge our best efforts to convert all those aches and blisters into life giving medicines and human compassion. You have moved us one step closer to the ancient Greek ideal: To tame the savageness of man and make the gentle the life of the world. David Keesling, Director Walk Department Fcaura C I1! ( .r.K.I'.il.U.T. Open bull elk hunters can chose from three opening dates this fall as set by the Board of Big Game Control. The earliest opening will be Sept. 22 on the Daggett unit and the eastern part of the Bear River and Hole in the Rock unit. October 6 marks the opening day of elk hunting on the Manti and Fishlake units. The remainder of the units will open Sept. 29. Among them is a new open bull elk unit on the Book Cliffs. The hunting season will close Oct. 10 on some areas and Oct. 14 on others. Hunters should refer to the proclamations when they become available. Special permit holders may hunt only on their specific unit during the specified season. A late hunt with 15 bull permits available will be held on the Heaston unit November The archery elk season will coincide with the deer archery 3. hunt Aug.

TEETH FLUORIDE AND YOUR CHILDREN'S drink- - One of the most impor- tant findings of dental re- search in the past half cen- tury has been a better under- - standing of the relationship tooth fluoride con- and dental decay. Fluo- ride is a mineral which is essential to tooth enamel and bone. Numerous recent studies have substantiated the effectiveness of fluoride in the maintenance of tooth enamel and help in protecting children's teeth against cavity formation (dental fluoride.

While there is no general consensus among experts as to the exact physiological manner in which fluoride reduces tooth decay, fluoride is known to strengthen the enamel coating of the tooth and increase resistance to decay. Tooth enamel absorbs the fluoride and hard- A BGA77NG ACCPEAT BY A SLPPERY PECK.

The trace amounts of fluoride in most foods, however, ere not u mdnt to be effective in prevention of tooth decay. The average dietary intake from food is less than 0.5 milligrams (0.0000175 ounce). A report issued by the Committee on Nutrition of the American Academy of Pediatrics indicates fluoride to be effective and safe only when taken in certain daily amounts. Today there are several supplemental sources of flu- oride available. One source fluoridation. This is the addition of fluoride to drink-water. When available, fluoridated drinking water, in addition to fluoride found naturally in foods, is an effective way of providing an adequate and beneficial intake of fluoride. Unfortunately more than 50 of Americans do not have access to fluoridated central water supplies or nat ural water supplies that con- an adequate amount of en nt ade-bene- fit that sodium fluoride tablets have shown, plus the ronvenience comof the vitamin-fluorid- e bination. Taking daily vitamins is already an established habit in many homes. To be effective in preventing tooth decay, fluoride must be taken on a continuous daily basis preferably throughout the period of tooth calcification.

Effectiveness requires periodic application of the fluoride solution.
