V Emeritui Consult! t In Meaicfn Myo clinic Emeritus Profenor of Medleln Mayo Clinic (Reenter ind Trlhun Syndlcttt, 1962) 7 n PaopU Who try To Curt Th.ms.W.s Many persons are desper ate to let relief from some illness so desperate that sometimes they take the situ atlon into their own hands, a n when they read an en thusiastic tide written by some lay person in magazine they will trav- Alv.ru el nunareas of miles, and even to a for eign country, to consult some enthusiast or some out-and- out quack of whom they have read. Recently a magazine arti cle appeared in which it was stated that a man in Canada had a theory as to what would be a good treatment for arth ritis. He had put some power ful hormones together, and he had soon concluded that his medicine was working magnificently and so his hunch was correct. I knew immediately, when I read of his "cure," that the chances were 100 to 1 against the drug's being of value because the chances of a man's "nit' ting the bull's eye" with his first euess are very small, Soon I read a statement by nur Food and Drug Admin istration that the supposed miracle - worker is a fugitive from Justice; he fled this coun try because the U.S. marshals wanted to arrest him for sell ing a supposed cure for bald ness. According to the gov ernment news - release here before me, he is not licensed to practice medicine in Can ada. Dr. George P. Larrlck, Commissioner of the U.S. De partment of Health, Educa tion and Welfare, and a de voted public servant, says that the supposed "cure" for arthritis is a mixture of a number of strong sexual hor mones both male and fe male which can produce serious and undesirable ef fects in the person who takes the medicine. One woman who decided to take matters in her own hands, after going up to Can ada to get a year's supply of the drug, came back and be gan taking il. Soon she start ed to bleed heavily from her womb. She had to have an operation to slop the bleed ing. Unfortunately, she then developed pneumonia and died. The FDA people are now warning us not to lake this far-from-safe drug, which by the way, is not likely to have any good effect on an arthritis. If you do not understand the treatment and problems related to arthritis, you'll Hatten Receives Policy Statement The stnte tax commission has mailed information 1o County Assessor Thad W Hatten concerning policies governing blowdown or dam aged timber under the new timber lax law passed by the 1961 stale legislature.

Owners whose timber was damaged by the Oct. 12 storm are advised to contact ttie as sessor's office for details cov ered in the tax commission policy recommendation, Hat ten said. Hiittcn also reminded own ers of old growth timber and established tracts, except for timber classified under the forest fee and yield -tax act or under the small woodland limber tax law administered by the state forester that they are required to do two things: (1) Either file a description of any additions or deletions from their tract, or (2) file a statement with the county assessor and tax commission that the tract as established for 10B2 is unchanged.

Results of Ecumenical Council May Be Sorely Disappointing Br LOUIS CASSELS UPI Correspondent Catholics and non-Catholics who expected a lot from the Vatican Council may be sore ly disappointed by the record of Its first session, which end ed Saturday. The concrete achievements of this eight-week meeting of bishops from all parts of the world admittedly have been sparse. The council fathers de baled four of 70 Items on their agenda. From cryptic press releases issued from their secret deliberations, It ap pears they reached substan tial agreement on only two documents. One concerns liturgy - the public worship of the church. The other Is a statement on mass communications' media newspapers, radio, television, and the movies. Neither has yet been made public. Even if it develops that the liturgical document author izes greater use of modern languages in the Mass - a re form that would be highly popular with many Catholic laymen - the public response to the council's initial session is likely to be a slrong feeling of let-down It would be premature, however, to write off the Vatican Council as a failure. Slow Pact Exp.cl.d It was inevitable that its initial session would be slow moving. The council fathers had to get organized, work out rules of procedure, and learn how to limit debate without stifling opposition. Most Important, there had to be a feeling-out period, to test sentiments and determine whether a majority of the bishops really shared the Pope's desire to renew and bring the church up to date. These essential prelimin aries have been accomplished during the past eight weeks, And It has been made clear on every test vote that the "renewal" party In the coun cil is much stronger than the stand-pat faction led by con servatives of the Roman Curia. The most striking demon stration of this came when the bishops rejected, by a vote of nearly two to one, a docu ment drafted by Curia con servatives on the sources of revelation. This document emphasized the coequality of oral tradition with Scripture as a basis for Christian doc trine. If approved, it would rowed the gulf between Cath olics and Protestants. It also would have struck a severe blow at the revival of Biblical scholarship, which has been taking place in the Catholic church In recent years. Vote Important Although negative in form, the vote on the "sources of revelation" document may well have been the most im portant accomplishment of the council's first session. Be sides keeping the door open for Catholic Biblical studies, it gave convincing evidence to Protestant observers that there is genuine concern for have widened rather than nar- Christian unity among a large majority of the council fath ers. How far this concern will be translated into positive ac tion, at future sessions of the council, may depend ultimate ly on the health of Pope John XXIII. The council's second ses sion, originally scheduled to begin next May 12, has been postponed until Sept. 8 - nine months from now. This was done to accommodate bishops from Asia, Africa and Latin America, who felt they could not afford to return to Rome for both a spring session and a fall session in 1963. Pope John is now 81 years old, and he has recently suf fered from an illness - de scribed variously as a stomach ulcer, prostate trouble and anemia - sufficiently serious to cause anxiety among Vati can officials No one likes to speculate about the death of this be loved Pope, who has done more than any other man of the past 500 years to heal the divisions of Christendom. But he would be the first to insist that his own mortality be realistically taken into ac count. And it is a fact that the work of an Ecumenical Coun cil is automatically halted by the death of the Pope who summoned the council. MLUfOHD MAIL '1M111UNE. MtDr'OHD, OHECiON Cattle Trail Appears To Be Winning Fight for Survival By STEVEN SMILANICH Salt Lake City -0IP&- The cattle trail, a vanishing land mark of the Old West, ap pears to be winning its battle of survival against men and machines in Utah. In Utah and other western tates the trails are reappear ing but they aren't recognized from the old cattle routes that traversed the western land scape before the advent of modern transportation. While giant earth moving machines are chewing up the landscape of the rural areas for superhighways, one would expect cattle trails and cross ings are provided whenever the state builds a section of Interstate highway on public domain land. Since Utah is made up of approximately 90 per cent of public or federal land such crossings are neces sary in almost any portion of the state. Movement Important Howard Leatham, planning engineer for the state high ways department, says cattle crossings are "very much a consideration" in planning. "We realize the movement of cattle from winter to sum mer ranges and from one area to another is important to the stockman." "There's not a lot of cattle moved via trails and crossings but the problem does exist, es pecially when interstate routes are constructed on pub lic domain lands," said Leat ham. The highway department executive said his office works closely with the Bu reau of Land Management and local cattle associations in determining numbers and locations of cattle crossings. "The BLM and the cattle men have been very cooper ative in this matter. In fact I wish our relations with other federal agencies were the same," Leatham said. H.lp With Impaction W. O. Arns, chief location engineer for the department and R. D. Nielson, slate BLM director for Utah, agreed with Leatham. "We've had good re lations with them. In some cases they've helped save us money," said Arns. "We show them what we have in mind and they help by making field inspections and pointing out where the grazing areas are," Arns said. Nielson also cited the joint effort by the three groups. "We rearrange our manage ment so we can conform to highway department needs. We don't take sides, we try to recognize the total picture," said Nielson. The matter of economics is also very much a part of the program to assure cattle pas sage. "Provisions for cattle in crease the highway costs sub stantially. This is especially true in canyons," said Leat ham. However, he pointed out that in some cases drainage structures, when .not full of water, are utilized for cross ing the highways. The modern day cattle trails may take a different form from the old routes. It could be a frontage road type of route, a fenced in strip or a drainage structure. In Ecno Canyon a fenced off section serves as the cattle crossing. Leatham said plans call for fencing a route from Castle Rock to Wasatch. Along Interstate 70 in the area of the San Rafael river plans are on the drawing boards for crossings at regu lar intervals from Fremont Junction to Green River. Similar provisions are be ing made for Interstate 15 in Backlog of 43,267 Cases in Chicago Chicaen - (1M - Th. last m. port by the Illinois court ad ministrator said that as of April 30 1962.

Salina Canyon and t h e Wanship to Coalville route also will have crossings.
