There is no area in which this lack is more dramatic than in the battle against lung cancer. The link between cigarette smoking and lung cancer was publicized in the now famous Surgeon Generals report ten years ago. Subsequent testing that deadly has link. Since 1964, notable gains have been made the percentage of adult smokers has dropped from 43 to 36 percent, the average tar content of cigarettes has decreased, and cigarette advertisements can no longer lure new smokers via the persuasive medium of television. However, per capita consump-tir- n of cigarettes is on the rise again after showing an encouraging decrease. Smoking among women is increasing and the lung cancer rate among females has doubled as a result in the past ten years. On the surface, it is easy to find fault with the hosts of smok ers who persist in taking this deadly gamble despite the preponderance of medical evidence. But part of the blame should be traced to the example being set by these who should be leading the battle against cancer. What about the hypocracy of the federal government in legis lating controls on cigarette advertisements at the same time subsidies are being paid to tobacco producers? What about the physicians who pay lip service to the health hazards of smoking while they continue to smoke themselves. What about the parents and smoking the scan- will grow and each year some 83,000 Americans will continue to needlessly develop lung cancer. dal Tree Seedlings Still Available The State Foresters office is offering tree seedlings for con- servation purposes to private individuals and groups. The seedlings will be shipped during April and May. These plants must be ordered in lots of 100 per species and cannot be used for ornamental or landscaping purposes. Cost is $8 for 100 plants. The State Foresters office has sold 235,000 plants to date with 215,000 still available. Seedlings include nine species of hardwood and six species of conifers. There are large numbers of black Russian olive, ash, golden willow and an improved hybrid poplar. Conifers in large numbers include Austrian pine, Pon-ieropine, lodgepole pine and ;asetm red cedar. ? Persons wanting seedlings this spring should place their orders now. Order forms are available at the Foresters office at 1596 West No. Temple, Salt Lake; or Soil Conservation District Committeemen Offices; ASCS, SCS Offices; National Forest Service; Bureau of Land Management or Extension Offices. lo-:u- sa The anablep, a fish that lives on the surface of the water, has yes split in half.

We hadnt even any asperin to give out, and could only recommend trying to give plenty ol fluids . . . and then had to try and decide which ones could and should be evacuated. The doctor had also asked us to check the water in the wells of that village, so we did, and found them full of filth. . . . How can you advise plenty of fluids when the only water is from muddy and polluted wells? This particular report comes from the letter of a Church World Service volunteer worker in the African nation of Niger, but the situation it describes is not unique to any part of the world. It is just one more instance of people suffering and struggling to live against impossible odds where the violence .f nature or their fellowman has left them with no resources to do anything but try to endure from day to day. The voluntary service agencies of Americas three religious faiths the Church World Service Protestant, Catholic Relief Services and the United Jewish Appeal try to get the asperin, hypodermics and fresh water to people who need them. Its nc easy task. Bad or impassable roads, fuel shortages, wars and governments at war, may make Ihe transport of drugs, food or equipment difficult. The logistics of transporting thousands of tons of supplies across oceans, thru the twisting channels of govern mental red tape, to remote villages and refugee camps is the business of these agencies, the helping hand of American Christians and Jews to a world in need. But thats only a small beginning. The larger task is working side by side with people and helping them to change the con- - ... A University of Utah scientist has discovered a new genus of theropod (two legged carnivorous) dinosaur in the Cleveland-Lloy- d Quarry in central Utah .he first new dinosaur identified out of the Morrison Formation n 75 years. James H. Madsen, Jr., assistant .esearch professor of geology md geophysics, identified bones from the bulldog faced reptile Jiree years ago. Since then he has been accumulating evidence .o verify the dinosaurs existence. Madsens findings are reported in the Journal of Palentology Articles are critiqued by othei Geology. Mr. Madsen said clevelandi represents the town of Clevc land in Emery County, Utah a the site of the Formation. The Morrison, containing the largest dinosaur graveyard in he U.S. is an accumulation ol stream and lake sediments deposited in a broad basin that much of eastern Utah anc parts of Wyoming and Colorado luring the late Jurassic period Some experts have compared d iitions that are maiming their spirits and destroying ihe hip bone that did not exist Jn similar elements from the quarry. Madsen hopes the entire skeleton can be reconstructed as ime and funds permit. According to the U researcher, oamed central Utah 140 mil-1- ! ;uiod siifl IV o3e saeaC he bulldog faced predator uoif had ippears to be most closely related to the tyrannesaurs the flesh eating monsters of later geologic time. Although smaller in size, the new dinosaur resembles theAl-osaur- s, commonly found in the 3amc Utah quarry Madsen speculates that the full grown Stoke-:osawas give feet tall, 13 feet long and fed on small reptiles md tiny mammals (the size of a small rat). A comparison of the Stokeso-sau- r jaw bone with that of the Allosaur reveals one less tooth which, according to Madsen, indicates a more advanced form of predator with a shorter snout. Dr. Stokes said the new bones provide another vital link in reconstructing the ancestry of dinosaurs. The University of Utah Cooperative Dinosaur Project was aunched by Stokes and Madsen it the Celevaland Lloyd Quarry h 1960. For 10 years, 50 percent )f the excavated bones were assembled as composite skeletons :or study and exhibition. More han 50 dinosaurs have been placed in museums around the world. The University of Utah collection is regarded by many scientists as one of the most compre-siv- e in the country. Madsen said the U project moved into the research phase in 1970. -- -- ;alentologists before appearing The Utah researcher named ihe new dinosaur Stokesosauru clevelandi, as tribute to Dr. William L. Stokes for the role he played in establisihng the Cleve-an- d Lloyd Quarry and his contributions to the geology of the state. Dr. Stokes is professor ol geology and geophysics at the University of Utah and former chairman of the Department of cov-3re- the Morrison with todays Amazon basin. Although only three new bones were identified, two hip bones and a jaw bone, Madsen was able to piece together an entire new genus of dinosaur. The first clue was a protruding ridge on their bodies. It is a slow, frustrating iob to build new communities from rubble, to make fields fallow where there was only sand or swamp, to train minds and hands that are dull and clumsy for lack cf food. It is a task for the whole world to tackle. ur Banishing The Bug NEW YORK (ED) Winter winds carry with them the promise of Christmas, Jack Frostian landscapes . . . and a variety of sniffles, sneezes and sore throats. How can you prevent the common cold from interfering with your winter events schedule? Unfortunately, there is still no vaccine to keep a cold at bay, but you can help hasten its departure once it attacks. Children are the most vulnerable (school is the perfect breeding ground for the cold virus), because they are exposed to such a wide variety of germs. If the bug does hit your child, consider the following: Dont disregard traditional advice: Keep your child warm, and give him liquids (fruit juices, soups, tea). If the cold isnt accompanied by a fever, he neednt stay in bed, but his activities should be restricted. His major complaints are stuffiness and nasal obstruction? He needs a decongestant to constrict the mucous membranes and open clogged nasal passages.' St. Joseph .Childrens Decongestant Cold Relief Tablets should help him breathe freely again. (Note: Its important to give youngsters medicines containing childrens doses . . . adult medications can be too harsh for thcrO To keep one childs cold from becoming a family affair, a bit of isolation is necessary. If your child shares a room, have brother or sister sleep on the living room sofa until the bug is banished. Though only luck can prevent your child from catching a cold, you can make his battle with the virus shortlived. Treat a cold carefully, and your home wont turn Z into a winter infirmary. |
