It is serious in the number involved, and the abuse of drugs is becoming more widespread. CAN SOLVE IT We have a serious situation that will not just go away. It is important that we realize that we do have a problem, but one that we can solve, he added. A summary of the coni-i 1 1 ee's recommendations was given by the governor.

Do-- Make Haste Slowly I have received a letter from a land development business near a central Utah town and near a lake. Its a place where you can go for recreational purposes, retirement and things like that. It says a lot is valued at $795. We have the chance to get it for $395. I am wondering if there is such a place and if this company is on the up and up; It does say come down and see it. But you don't have the chance to make up your mind later, you know. Can you give me some information? Mrs. T.S., Salt Lake City. It exists. It is a land development promotion. On the up and up, says State Department of Business Regulation which made an e inspection. So all we can offer are some general observations. We don't know how the lot value is determined. It may not be out of line, but you could and should check town officials and get an idea of land values in tiie area to get a comparison on unimproved land. It is just common sense to examine in person the property. Buying anything sight unseen can be a source of disappointment and permits exaggerated descriptions, misrepresentation and deceptive concealment of essential facts on the part of the promoters. Also your comment you dont have a chance to make up your mind later . prompts us to sav that it i a good policy to move EVEN MORE SLOWLY than perhaps youd planned to. Just be cautious and take a look at the site. Don't be overwhelmed by high pressure salesmanship. on-sit- . Could yon please tell me what year it was when it snowed early in September.
