The UA rate dropped to 4.7 percent, the lowest monthly level in many years. Approximately 31,800 Utahns were unemployed last month, compared to 85,000 in October 1996.

Theae three fee test prqjects were implemented in the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, the Mirror Lake area, and American Fork Canyon respectively, starting last spring. These foe prqjecta are part of a nation-wid- e, program authorised by Congress last year which allows several Federal land management agencies, including the Forest Sendee, to test the feasibilicost recovery ty ofa program for recreation areas. Un- der this "Recreation Fee Demonstration Program, all of the revenue generated will be returned to the specific prqject area to help supplement Federal appropriations for operation and maintenance of recreational facilities, visitor services, and the protection and enhancement of natural resources. To date, these three fee demonstration areas have already generated several hundred thousand dollars. Although a small portion of these funds have been used to improve visitor services this year, Forest Service officials are asking for suggestions from the public to assist in their planning the use of funding in future years. Such suggestions from the public msy be given to any Forest Service offices on the Ashley, Uinta, or Wasatch-Cach- e National Forests. Forest Service officials have received a number of comments from visitors about the new fee program. The large majority of comments have been very supportive, especially when Forest visitors realise that the revenue will actually stay and be used to improve services and user-generat- S5SBttQgttn stated pervisar, er - SALES TAX DEFEATED n, tero-to-o- th been earmarked for cultural and related prqjects within the county.

Our human body has a natural defensive system that manufactures a special sulfur compound that makes the cell permeable so the water can flow freely through the cell wall taking toxins out and getting nutrition in so healing can take place. Every time our body removes this invading toxin it looses that special sulfur compound forever. "The problem is Americans presently don't receive this essential sulfur" says Dr. Earl Mindell, Ph.D, R.Ph., the number one Nutritionist in America and the worlds leading expert hi vitamins, dietary supplements, nutrition and the author of the Vitamin Bible. Methylsulfbnymethane (MSM) is the vital nutritional dietary source of sulfer that is found in our living tissues. MSM does not shut the nerve off It makes the cell permeable so the water flows freely through the cell This removes the buildup of fluids and toxins which in turn decrease the pressure inside the cell so the cell can heal and individuals can be active without pain. Dr. Stanley Jacob, Geriinger Professor at the Department of Surgery at Oregon Health Sciences states, MSM is a fascinating life enhancing agent. IVc studied s num-b- er of individuals who have taken What is the answer? Organic Sulfur. Organic Sulfur is the fourth MSM that have degenerate or rheum story arthritis, disc problems , Rheum atory arthritis, bronchitis, tendonitis, hip dysplssia, lower back disc problems, acute injuries, bursitis and alike have one thing in common. They all hurt and can be very painful to live with. Your cell is like a balloon full of water. When the membrane around that cell is leathery, the cell will expand because of fluid and toxin build up. This creates internal pressure inside the cell, which causes the cells to inflate. When the cell inflates it is called inflammation. Inflammation or swelling to soft tissue puts pressure onto the nerves and this can create intense pain. The term arthritis simply means inflammation of a joint It is not a condition linked exclusively with aging. The most common and serious forms of arthritis are often found in young active adults. One million new patients develop arthritis each year. In America alone 250,000 children have arthritis along with forty percent of the population over age 65 have arthritis. According to the Journal of AMA, over 41 million Americans suffer from arthritis. Presently, arthritis is the most widespread crippling disability in the united States today with more families in this country being affected by arthritis than by any other ill-- -- .i i. How much money should have for emergencies? I Answtrhy: Lis Gorham, Utah State University Extension Family Resource Management Specialist The sverage savings for UA households was 6.8 percent from 1975 to 1991. In 1995, it was a mere 4.1 percent of disposable income. Insufficient funds set aside fix emergencies can have devastating effects. As a general rule, financial planners and educators agree that a person should save three to six times their monthly expenses for emergencies. Consider these tips. 'Determine howmuch you spend per month. Examine billing statements and check registers and keep track of all purchases and bills fix at least a month. Estimate the dollar amount for occasional expenses insurance payments, (i.e. birthdays or vacations); total these amounts and divide by 10 or 11. This allows for one or two months of not saving. Add this amount to your average monthly expensee, then multiply that number by three to get the minimum savings amount and hyiv fertile nuriiBiim timrnnt Analyse your current savings. Pay yourself first rather than waiting to see how much is left over at the and ofthe month. Consider hav six-mon-th ing funds direct deposited to a savings account Shop around fix inter-erates on loans, since they can very substantially. Examine where you keep your savings. Having more than one account at different institutions can discourage withdrawals fix other than emergency purchases. Certificates of deposit earn a higher rate of interest than a savings account; however, you could lose interest earned and have to pay a fee if you are forced to make an early withdrawal Consider having CDs with different maturity dates throughout the year. To assist Utahns with their finances, USU Extension is foundling a new program called MONEY 2000. The program encourages individuals and families to save and or reduce debt by $2000 by the year 2000. For a $10 registration fee, participants receive a quarterly newsletter, savings and debt analysis and helpin setting realistic goals. The fee also includes optional quarterly lectures or shome study course, access to a professional financial counselor, and opportunities to win prises. at in their beck, acute injuries, tendonitis, bursitis and alike and it is certainly an important adjunct that gave long lasting relief Clinical evidence gathered on arthritic patients using MSM by Dr. Herachler at the Reagan State Science University show there is significant relief of pain and stiff- ness along with reduced swelling and inflammation. Even muscle pain associated with multiple scle-- rosis responded very favorably to MSM. Dr. Herachler also found that MSM has the ability to reduce the incidence offer entirety eliminate muscle cramps, leg and back cramps experienced at night and after long periods of inactivity. Leg cramps experienced by athletes during participation in their sports were significantly reduced or abolished. Dr. Herachler also found that the recovery time in marathon runners who were given MSM, dropped by seventy-fOne of the most effective means to get organic sulfur to the swollen and pain ridden cells is direct application on the skin with a lotion that contains MSM.

The CIB allocated the $85,000 grant on an emergency besis last Thursday during their monthly board meeting. The money will allow the county to complete remain-- 1 ing renovation work on the former Bureau of Reclamation building which they moved into two weeks ago. . Earlier this year the CIB approved a $412,000 grantloan for the renovation prqject. Half of the money was awarded in a grant, and the remainder in the form of a low-inter- loan. According to Commission Chair-ma- n John Swasey, the bids on the reconstruction prqject were higher than expected and unanticipated costa to renovate the heating system also played a part in the increased carts, he stated. Going to the CIB for fending eras preferable to having taxpayers foot the unexpected bill, Swasey said. lifeiaMHngkiniTaiCilliTHiinjllnnlililkilh You Can Place An Ad This Size In 3 Newspapers Throughout Utah 1 Has Moved For Only $195 Per Week Stop In Or Call We Are Now Combined With Prime Cut Hair Salon .
