Dr, Justin Stein, Los Angeles President, American Cancer Society, 1973-7- Prepare Your F amily For Fire Emergency Candlelight Ceremony Set New Road Information 1974 4 It has been 10 years since the Advisory Committee to the Surgeon General gave its report linking cigarette smoking as a causal factor in lung cancer, cancer of the larynx, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis. Since that time, many additional scientific reports have confirmed the evidence of cigarette smoking as a causal factor in the above named diseases and also with urinary bladder cancer and coronary heart disease. Since 1964, 10,000,000 smokers have stopped smoking cigarettes, making a total of about 30,000,000 of in the U.S. It has been estimated that over one-ha- lf the 50,000,000 Americans who still smoke cigarettes want to quit. There has been a definite decline in smoking between 1963 and the end of 1973. There was a sharp drop in cigarette smoking between 1967 and 1971 when many televised antismoking messages were shown. In 1971, when these TV messages were curtailed, smoking of cigarettes increased. Because, when cigarette advertisements were removed by federal law from TV and radio, the broadcasters no longer felt any obligation to continue the messages of the American Cancer Society as they had been required to do under the Fairness Doc- The program will be under the direction of Mr, Barry Coleman and will feature the traditional Christmas carols.

Utahns 0, By dialing can receive a recorded report of current conditions on highways throughout the state by 532-600- Public Comment Invited The Utah State Road Commission Is inviting public comment on a proposed rule change that will significantly broaden the special traction requirements for vehicles allowed to use certain canyon roads when they have been closed to vehicles with conventional tires. snow-restrict- ed Since 1968, Highway Depart- anti-smoki- ng ment regulations have allowed the State Highway Director to designate certain canyon highways to be restricted during the winter to use only by vehicles equipped with snow tires or chains. The "snow tire or chain" restrictions have largely been applied to ski resort canyons, such as Little and Big Cottonwood Canyons, Logan Canyon, and Parowan Canyon. The restriction periods were relatively short, lasting only until highway maintenance crews cleared the snow from the roads. Signs are posted notifying motorists when the restrictions are in effect, and motorists who violate them are given citations by the Utah Highway Patrol, punishable by fines ranging from $5.00 to $299. The proposed amendment to the regulations would expand the list of vehicles allowed to use anti-smoki- ng trine. In 1963, only 58 of all cigarettes sold had filter tips. The per capita consumption By 1973, this figure was of cigarette tars today is 32 less than it was 10 years ago. This represents a definite recognition by the tobacco industry of the health hazards of smoking. There is no 85. such thing as a safe cigarette. The estimate is 83,000 lung cancer cases diagnosed in 1974 in the U.S., with 60,000 male deaths estimated from this disease and 15,000 female deaths. Only about 9 of lung cancer cases will survive 5 years and therefore a tremendous program directed toward elimination of cigarette smoking must be done. Since only about 15 of the patients with lung cancer are diagnosed while localized and since present diagnostic and treatment methods leave much to be desired, we must rely on preventative measures. Those individuals who become addicted to cigarette s. The smoking usually do so while they are percentage of teenage female smokers now almost equals that of male teen-ag- e smokers. Women have more difficulty in stopping smoking than men. The death rate from lung cancer in the past 10 years has doubled for women. and educationEmphasis must be given to the teen-age- rs al programs started for children by at least 10 years of age. The smoking message must stress the effect on the smoke throughout their general health. If the teen-age- rs teen-ag- e years and are not effectively "reached" by education, a great many will be lost to their addiction. Even those individuals who have smoked for varying periods of time can lessen the hazards of cigarette smoking by stopping. - The use of tobacco has been found not only to be hazardous as well. More for the smoker, but for the attention is being given to the rights of by passing legislation to protect the health and atmospheric environment of the teen-ager- snow-restrict- ed highways to in- clude not only vehicles equipped with snow tires or chains, but el also drive vehicles, and vehicles equipped with traction aids. Since the adoption of the "snow tires or chains" winter four-whe- travel restrictions on roads, radial tires have canyon gained popularity to the point where they are now offered as standard equipment on many new cars. However, radial tir'es offer a problem to their owners. Conventional steel-lin- k chains cannot be used with them because they damage the tire sidewalls. New traction attachments have been developed to replace the conventional chains. Two such traction aids currently being sold in Utah include cable chains and "snow treads." The "cable chains" consist of steel cables laced together and fastened to the tire in somewhat the same manner as steel-lin- k chains. The snow treads" consist of plastic traction wedges strapped to the tread of the tire with a network of nylon belts. The manufacturers of both types claim they offer the flexibility that radial tires require, and are effective in deep snow. Utahns will have until December 23rd to submit written comments or requests for a hearing concerning the proposed rule change before it comes up for final consideration by the Commission. Statements may be addressed to the Utah State Road Commission, Room 612 D, State Office Building, Salt Lake City, Utah 84114. The Commission will hold an oral hearing on the change, If requested by 25 or more people, by a governmental agency, or by an association having not less than 25 members. means of a unique recorded-answeri- ng system called "The Audichron Announcement System." The system can play recorded messages up to 56 seconds in length to some six thousand callers an hour, and can answer as many as 28 calls at the same time. Officials In the departments Community Relations Division say the sophisticated electronic system is the quickest and most efficient way of getting road condition information to a large number of inquiring motorists. During week days, information for the reports Is gathered from the Highway Departments district dispatchers, who have radio contact with the snowplows and road crews in their areas. At night, and on weekends and holidays, the information Is obtained from the Utah Highway Patrol weigh stations and radio dispatchers. During particularly bad weather, other sources of Information are utilized, such as local sheriffs and police officials, truck drivers, and motorists. In compiling the reports, the staff members of the Highway Departments Communications-an- d Community Relations Divisions pay close attention to the road conditions at mountain and passes, major routes, and roads leading to ski resorts and winter recreation areas. Roads are listed In the report according to condition, and those with the worst- - conditions are given top priority. General road condi in-st- ate tions throughout the state are described by area, and roads not specifically mentioned In the report may be assumed to be In the same condition as that described for their general area. The report contains Information on road conditions in adjoining states when they are extremely adverse and travel is not advised. However, highway officials point out that such conditions are quite subject to change during the few hours of travel time It usually takes to get out of Utah. The road condition reporting service Is offered on a Reports are updated as fast as conditions change during storms, and at periodic intervals during good weather. The following roads do not receive winter maintenance and should be considered closed to motorists until next spring: "The Mirror Lake Road," through Cedar Breaks National Monument, through East Canyon, "Guardsman Pass," from Beaver to Junction, from Joes Valley Reservoir to Ephraim, and from Fairview to Huntington. Winter maintenance will also soon cease on "The Monte Cristo Road, U-"The Alpine Loop," and U135 "Wolf Creek Pass." Some of these roads are still passable, but motorists who travel them do so at their own risk. 50 43 U-- 65 24 53 U-- 29 U-- 31 death Nearly every Injury or in a dwelling fire has resulted from the family being totally unprepared for a fire emerstated Spencer H. gency, State University Utah Daines, Extension Engineer serving on the state agricultural safety committee.

Its highly important to get everyone out at the very first sign of smoke or flame. Advance thinking and rehearsing now, before there Is an emergency, may well save lives If a fire or explosion should take place. Carefully figure out at least two routes to the outside from each room in the house, especially bedrooms. Rehearse "exit plans with every member of the family. Make sure each person knows what to do, and arrange for young children and elderly clear.

"Once out, stay out." a house where there' is fire is extremely dangerous. Have a meeting place arranged where a check can be made to be sure everyone is out. When the house Is clear of people, notify the fire department. Know how to do It quickly and correctly, either from an alarm box or by telephone from another building on the farm or at a neighbors. Use a garden hose until the fire department arrives, mainly to keep the fire from spreading. Be a wise farm family which has fire extinqulshers in the house and every other farm building. Keep fire fighting tools and ladders handy and the hose always hooked up ready for use. Being prepared, planning, and rehearsing may well save the lives of your family members.

Drought Conditions Alarm BLM Livestock grazing of the winter range lands in Utahs west desert areas is down 35 to 50 of normal. Mr. Lloyd Ferguson, District Manager of the Fillmore District of the Bureau of Land Management said, that although fall storms have helped to alleviate this past summers drought conditions, these storms were not in time to provide any significant vegetative growth of desert forage. Mr. Ferguson pointed out that field studies show the average amount of forage production for the winter grazing season is only about 55 of normal. Many sheep operators, who are the major users of the desert ranges . during the winter, have rented cultivated fields on which to graze parts of their livestock herds this winter. Mr. Ferguson further indicated that 'eal the sheep operators have been most cooperative in holding in many of their animals rather than to overgraze the winter range areas. "Hopefully, winter moisture will replace the depleted moisture conditions of the desert and we will have a good growing season next spring," he said. The BLM is continuing to monitor the affects of the past summers drought to assure that grazing that does take place on the winter ranges will be in such a manner that the vegetation will recover with a normal year's moisture this coming season.
