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-

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.

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.
Responsibility for the law's
administration was delegated
to the commission, although
Hie taxes are collected by the
counties and used exclusive
ly for county and city purposes.
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.

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

He can appear at the time
