The numler of youths escaping from what they call uncomfortable situations has gone up from 507 in 1967 to 643 in 1968 in Salt Lake City alone. Police records show that on a typical Monday 13 new runaways are reported. Mothers are usually the first to notify the police when a child doesnt show up. And nine times out of ten they have no idea what would make a son or daughter want to leave home. But the youngsters do. Of 20 Utah youths interviewed about their reasons for leaving home, all gave as reason number one or two: My parents dont even care about me, and they hate my friends, but don't even know them. After chasing down runaway youths for more than two years, Marvin J.

While many Salt Lake runaways stay fairly close to home, Idaho, Nevada and California are popular destinations. Although most runaways arent given treatment, they all have money one common complaint: My parents don't spend any time with me.

They dont trust me anymore. All 20 Utah interviewees admitted that they volunteered no information to their parents.

A repeat Canuon-Laxa- lt battle in 1970 is expected by most Nevada political analysts. Wyomings Hathaway accepted the post of the Western Governors Conference last month in Seattle. J. HARRIS the same day in May that Samuel Ybrty was mayor of Los Angeles, George Rundquist died in New York. Rundquist, until his retirement a few years ago, had been the executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union since its founding in 1951. One of the several reasons I was was his sorry to see Yorty ugly and untruthful assertion during his campaign that the American Civil Liberties Committee was some sort of sinister group more interested in the than in the protection of Communists welfare of the nation. On I left-win- g ! ; f of Yet one of the highlights Rundquists career came in 1960, when he led his organization's fight on behalf of George Lincoln Rockwell and the American Nazi Party to speak in Union Square. The group also offered to defend Mrs. Elizabeth Dilling. the famous anticommunist speaker and writer, when the government sought to repress some of her activities. It is shocking to me not merely that most Americans do not belong to or support the American Civil Liberties Union, but that so many apparently believe and are led to believe by cheap demagothat this group is gues like Yorty somehow a covei, or a moumpiece, for leftist elements. Quite to the contrary, it has defended persons and organizations of all political complexions, from far left to fi J ( X i v . far right. While powerful lobbies and wealthy Interests have always been able to mount campaigns to protect and sustain property rights, there has been no commensu-at- o interest in seeing that civil rights have not been ignored or abused.

Joseph Montoya of New Mexico, Gale McGee of Wyoming and Howard Cannon of Nevada. Also on the target list is Utah Democrat Frank E. Moss. But, since Utah has a Democratic governor. Republicans must look to other sources for a senatorial candidate. Meanwhile, the Utah Senate race is still rather uncertain as to a possible Republican challenger to Moss, who will be seeking his third term. Still considered a prime contender for the GOP nomination is First District Congressman Laurence J. Burton. But Burton still claims to be undecided whether or not to make the race. Moss and his strategists figure Burton will be their 1970 opponent. They have felt this way for some time. If not Burton, they look to the other GOP Congressman, Sherman P. Lloyd, as a likely foe. Surveys taken by Democrats purportedly show that the Moss popularity is on the upswing. Before the campaign really gets underway in earnest. Republicans will be making some surveys on their own, checking the potential support levels of Burton, Lloyd and possibly one or two others. One thing is sure. There will be considerable White House and GOP national committee pressure on local Republicans to field as strong a candidate as possible against Moss, since Utah is one of the 10 to 15 primary GOP targets for 1970. tions.

Last weeks upsurge in military activity in South Vietnam, following eight weeks of relative lull, could be preliminary to a major military effort later on. In any case, it is likely that the Hanoi Politburo has laid down a set of objectives to be sought in the next 6, 9 and 12 months. The propaganda campaign already has begun. There will be four extremely important anniversaries for Hanoi in 1970. Feb. 3 will be the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnamese Communist party. April 22 will be the 100th birthday of Lenin, founder of Bolshevism. May 19 will be the 80th birthday of Ho Chi Minh, the president of North Vietnam whom have made into a the Communists father-figurSept. 2 will be the 25th anniversary of Hos proclamation of a Vietnamese republic. such In the Communist world; anniversaries have enormously important propaganda significance. For Hanoi, it is probable that Hos birthday will be most important of all. He is not likely to see many more birthdays. Recently the North Vietnamese party newspaper, Nhan Dan, noted that Ho's 70th birthday started a very animated e. achieve a and very glorious phase of the conflict. That was when the National Liberation Front was bom in North Vietnam and the current phase of the conflict in the South began. The paper added that 1970 will certainly create a new, offensive and the victorious imnational salpetus to bring the anti-U.vation struggle to complete victory." Another appeal urged the people to overcome all sacrifices and hardships and advance toward achieving complete victory so that Hos 80th birthday might be celebrated in a country covered with victory flowers." A concentrated propaganda campaign keyed to the anniversaries was launched at the end of June by the Politburo and will continue indefinitely. The propaganda includes demands for emulation drives to increase production, notably in earth-shakin- agriculture. Several times this year the official Hanoi press has complained sourly about production, bureaucracy, waste and corruption. It has been scolding those who are too and fear sacrifices. The suggestion is that the North Vietnamese are bone-tireGen. Vo Nguyen Giap, architect of the 1954 victory over France and chief strategist of the present war, admitted to an Italian journalist early this year that 500,000 or more young North Vietnamese peace-minde- the small society- - All d morale-bolsterin- by Brickman JUNK THE NATIONAL 1& " victory had been killed in battle. He dismissed this as if it were not really important. But it affects the productive capacity of a nation of 17 million and must have an impact on virtually every family. Giap evidently has been going from ' meeting to meeting in the Norths milig mistary districts on a sion. His message has been that the Americans already are defeated and must inevitably bow to maximum demands. The defenSe minister may have been preparing the way for another offensive. At the same time, the evidence is that North Vietnam is relying heavily on political attrition, working both on the United States and its weariness with the war and on South Vietnam, where the Communist hope is to destroy confidence in the Saigon government. There is something in what is going on now that recalls the situation before the Tet offensive of early 1968. At that time the North Vietnamese began deploying heavy weapons in strategic areas, including the area along the Demilitarized Zone. Today, once again, the North Vietnamese seem to be deploying strength near the DMZ while getting into position for what may be a major thrust. There is a difference this time. There now exists what the Viet Cong calls its provisional government. The objective of North Vietnam may be to capture and hold, as one anniversary goal, a fairly large town in the South which the Viet provisional government" can Congs claim as a capital. Thereafter the Communist side might consider itself able to bargain from a position of much greater political strength. AAAI L...

Usual symptoms include swelling of body tissues, elevated blood pressure, and albumin, pus cells, and red cells in the urine. Uremia can develop. Nephritis must not be neglected because a severe case can destroy the kidneys entirely. The usual cause is a streptococcus infection, and basic treatment is the use of antibiotics to subdue the infection. I have warned before, and do so again now, that these kidney infections can be stubborn. Dont stop treatment too soon and be on guard against any sign of a because it is hard to subsequent flare-utell when the infection is totally suppressed. It is not easy, either, to predict the future course. Attacks can vary from relatively mild to acute. The infection may subside or it may lapse into a chronic phase. Or it may even go into a nephrotic stage. That brings us to nephrosis. A better a name for it is nephrotic syndrome set of symptoms falling into a particular pattern.

L , Grandma then took six pounds of the grease, six pounds of sal soda and three pounds of stone lime. She mixed it with four gallons of rain water and a half pound of borax. She stirred until the soda dissolved and the lime was slacked. When it was well settled, Grandma poured off the clear liquid. She washed out the kettle and put in the liquid grease and borax until it turned to soap. When it was sufficiently hard, Grandma cut it into bars. By this time Grandma was on the downward side of washday. . All she had to do was build a fire in the backyard to heat the water.

Overall effectiveness of the kidneys in getting rid of nitrogen wastes is not impaired to the extent seen in nephritis. Nephrosis is more common in children than in adults, but the cause is not known. (Nephritis can occur at any age.) Treatment of nephrosis is with steroids (cortisone-typ- e hormones) and cure is to be expected (although not overnight). Kidney disease at any age is potentially serious, but I doubt that most folks are aware of how frequently children are affected. While these, in general, are the differences between nephrosis and nephritis, there are variations. Although nephritis is usually caused by strep infection, there are other causes, as from drugs or from certain collagen diseases. Treatment in such cases must be somewhat different, obviously. There are difterent forms of nephrosis, too. The type commonly seen in children (idiopathic nephrotic syndrome with cause not known) is not as significant as the nephrotic syndrome which de--v elopes from nephritis I realize all this is complicated, not to but I warned that there say confusing is no simple answer to the questions.
