Crews begin grisly hunt
LOVELAND, Colo. (UPI) Authorities
yesterday shut down the helicopter search
for victims of the Big Thompson Canyon
flood, turning the grisly hunt over to ground
crews.
Capt. John Englebert of the Larimer
County Sheriff’s Office said it was getting too
expensive to keep the helicopters in the air
and persons working on the ground would
have a better chance of finding additional
bodies.
A flash flood swept through the canyon
eight days ago, killing and injuring hundreds
of an estimated 4,000. persons seeking a
weekend of solitude, fishing or hiking in the
popular area within a two-hpur drive of
downtown Denver.
Sixty-foot camping trailers were smashed

So far, searchers have recovered about 85
bodies and Sheriff Bob Watson said he knew
of “at least 20 more down in the canyon that
are still there. We just can’t get to them yet
until the debris is cleared out.” ’
Watson said earlier he expected the final
death toll would reach 150-200, but cautioned
that many bodies might never be found. The
Red Cross has compiled a list of more than
800 persons believed missing in the area.
Englebert said helicopters would continue
to be used to remove bodies from the canyon
and take them to a makeshift morgue in this
city of 20,000, but the aircraft would no longer
be used to search for the dead..

Many turn to fads for lean bodies
Diet gimmicks bizarre, harmful
By JOANNE KOLLAR
Collegian Staff Writer
“Lose fat forever -We guarantee that you
will lose fat fast and permanently if you follow
our methods...”
“There’s no easier way to lose no calories to
count, no carbohydrates to watch, no special
recipes to prepare, no expensive special foods to
buy]”
“Shrink waistline without fad diets, appetite
appeasing pills or strenuous exercise.”
And ad infinitum go the ads coupled with the
inevitable before and after pictures showing two-ton
Tessie and Ted miraculously transformed into
svelte Susie and Sam. Then, in the fine print, is the
cost only $4.98 plus postage and handling brings
this wonderful diet, pill or gadget to melt that fat
away. .
With estimates placing between 20 and 50 per cent
of the American adult population in the overweight
category (defined as 10 per cent or more over the
desired body weight according to height and build),
the diet industry is a lucrative one. In their pursuit
of the flat tummy and the lean body, Americans
spent nearly $lO billion in 1973, according to
Newsweek.
The diet industry includes diet pills, reducing
salons and diet foods as well as fad diets and weight
reducing gimmicks. Some of the approaches are
rather bizarre, and some, potentially'dangerous,
according to medical authorities. One gimmick is
“hot pants.” It is a rubber sweat suit, the overuse of
which can drain vital body minerals such as sodium
and potassium and may even cause congestive
heart failure.
Then there is the body wrap that requires the use
of cloths soaked in epsom salts. These are wrapped
around the part of the body where weight loss is
sought. According to a report, in FDA Consumer,
Ford won't rule out debates with Carter

The President talked more
of his vice presidential
candidate and of waging a fall
campaign against Carter
than he did of the nomination
battle with Reagan.
. “Yes, I am confident I’ll get
the nomination,” he said.
“We have more than the 1,130
delegates we need and we’re
going to get more.”
The Associated Press tally,
counting delegates legally
bound or publicly pledged to a
candidate, shows Ford having
slightly less than the
necessary number of
delegates for the nomination,
but leading Reagan.
Oh the vice president, Ford
said, “I want somebody

and whose support for my
programs is consistent with
my thoughts.”
Ford said he could not
select Schweiker as a running
mate because “I would not go
that far to the edge of the
political spectrum.”
Ford said his aides over the
weekend called “more than a

mates but he declined to

June 1975, the body wrap could restrict peripheral
circulation. The report also pointed out that there is
the danger of becoming overheated and dehydrated
from excessive perspiration.
A couple years ago both Time and Newsweek
reported on “staplepuncture,” a method in which a
surgical staple is placed in the ear to reduce hunger
pangs. The idea, related to the acupuncture
technique, is that every part of the body has a
corresponding area of sensitivity in the ear. When
the dieter experiences hunger pangs, he is in
structed to wiggle the staple. That stimulation is
supposed to stop the desire to eat.
According to the American Medical Association
(AMA), there is no scientific evidence to support
this theory. Further, the staple may cause ear in
fections. The AMA also warned that the 400-calorie
diet accompanying the treatment is a dangerously
deficient diet.
In addition to the gimmicks, there are numerous
diet books advising Americans that they can lose
weight without sacrificing booze, sex or ice cream.
“The Drinking Man’s Diet” allows the dieter to
maintain his or her alcohol consumption while
losing weight. Dr. Abraham Friedman in “How Sex
Can Keep You Slim” advises “reach for your mate
instead of your plate.” The ice cream diet
developed by Gaynor Maddox permits two servings
of ice cream in a 1,000 calorie per day diet.
One of the most highly-touted diets, “Dr. Atkins’
Diet Revolution” has been labeled as “potentially
dangerous” and, without “scientific merit” by the-
AMA' Atkins allows dieters to consume all the
calories desired in the form of protein and fats (e.g.
eggs, meat, cheese). Carbohydrates (e.g. bread,
potatoes and sugars) are to be avoided.
According to Dr. Philip L. White, secretary of the
AMA Council on Food and Nutrition, this high-fat,
low-carbohydrate diet triggers increased
selection process.
The President was asked
whether certain individuals
were contacted, and each
time, he replied, “I haven’t
ruled out anyone.”
Among them were former
Texas Gov. John Connally,
Ambassador to Great Britain
Anne Armstrong, Sen.
Howard H. Baker of Ten
nessee and Sen. Edward
Brooke of Massachusetts.

production of the compound ketone in the body. The
increased amount of ketones suppress the appetite.
But, according to White, there are also undesirable
side effects. These include dizziness, scurvy,
fatigue, dehydration, kidney trouble and elevated
cholesterol levels.
Further, accordiiig to the June 1976 Patient Care,
Atkins’ diet is nutritionally unsound. The article
also points out that the weight loss is mainly water
weight which is quickly regained.
These varied approaches to weight reduction are
the result of the “Age of Caloric Anxiety,” ac
cording to Dr. Theodore B. Van Itallie, international
nutrition expert and professor of medicine at
Columbia University. “The anxiety stems from the
inherent conflict between our thin standards of
beauty and desirability, to which Americans are
conditioned from childhood, and our fat standard of
living. Not just plump: Fatl ” Van Itallie said.
According to “Today’s Health,” part of that fat
standard is derived from the American diet which
has too many of the wrong kinds of calories. Fat
accounts for 43 per cent of the average American’s
daily calories, the article pointed out. Nutrition
experts say fat should comprise no more than 30 to
35 per cent, at most, of daily caloric intake.
Today’s Health also pointed out that one out of
five Americans skip breakfast and that many
continually shack on high calorie, low nutrition
foods. In the past two decades, according to Today’s
Health, per capita consumption of “empty” foods
(such as potato chips and soft drinks) has doubled..
Poor dietary habits, coupled with the sedentary
life of many Americans, have resulted in fat
Americans. In their desire to shed fat without
sacrifice, they willingly invest in the diet industry.
Yet, according to nutrition experts, only a change in
eating habits will yield the permanent weight
control desired.

The latest figures, released
Friday, show unemployment
in the nation running at 7.8
per cent, but Ford predicted
that by the end .of the year it
will be below 7 per cent.
Another disappointment, he
said, is that “I don’t believe
we have sold our ac
complishments as well as we
should have. We have peaice
and we have restored trust in
the White House, but we have
been unable to sell that in a
political way.”
He said if nominated, he
plans to wage a “high tone”
campaign against Carter.
“Certainly I’m going to
take an affirmative position
on my record,” Ford said.
