Survey For Uranium Underway
A groundwater and stream
sediment sampling survey
team will be in the Corpus
Christi, Brownsville and
McAllen, Texas, areas
during the next several
weeks as part of a national
effort to assess United States
uranium resources. The data
collected from several Texas
counties will be useful to
local and state officials in
understanding the overall
water quality and the
hydrological environment in
the state.
The survey is being con-
ducted by Union Carbide
Corporations' Nuclear
Division at Oak Ridge,
Tenn., for the Department of
Enerj^'s (DOE) National
Uranium Resource E-
valuation i NURE )
program. Texas counties
included in this survey are:
Aransas, Brooks, Cameron,
Hidalgo, Jim Hogg, Jim
Wells, Kenedy, Kleberg,
Nueces, San Patricio, Starr,
Willacy and Zapata.
The objective of the NURE
program is to complete a
systematic survey of the
nation's surface waters,
groundwaters and stream
sediments by 1988. Uranium
is a very mobile element
geochemically, and com-
monly is disseminated in
varying degrees in rocks

DEALING WITH HOLIDAY DEPRESSION
bread are vitamin-loaded.
Get plenty of proteins,
milk, and fruit. Bananas and
raisins, both rich in natural
sweeteners, are a great after-
noon pick-me-up.

Why is it that during the
period around the Holidays,
most people start "feeling
their age'.'" All of a sudden,
it seems that they tire more
easily and can't quite cope
with all the confusion and
merriment.
The common response is,
"Christmas used to be great,
but nowadays it's so com-
mercialized. I feel like I
have to do things just be-
cause thi > are expected of

problem you face is
Yeir Fatigue."
pgists say it comes
he realization that
year has passed and
. e one less year to
rward to in your life,
the Holidays would
to be a time for
celebration, depression
seems to take the blush off
the bloom.
There's a good deal of
basis to the psychology of
watching a year pass, that
gives a let down But there's
more to be considered from
a physiological standpoint.
The truth of the matter is
most people are suffering
plain old fatigue. They find
themselves on a tighter
schedule than ever, trying to
squeeze in the shopping, the
entertaining, the visiting,
and all the other Yuletide
and New Year activities.
^'i< y eat more; drink
rr.i re, and sleep less. And
so, all of a sudden, they
start feeling older than they
are, and less satisfied with
themselves.
The American Chiroprac-
tic Association has made a
study of the situation. It has
a recommendation that will
make all the difference in
the world as to how you
feel
Start by eating nutrition
ally Don't eat sweets and
"junk" foods in spite of the
fact that it is not in keeping
with the Holiday spirit Be
sure that your cereals and
n
In addition to watching
your diet, you should also
drink plenty of water. Main-
tain a regular exercise sched-
ule in spite of the distrac-
tions of the Holidays. An
occasional ten minute ses
sion of strenuous activity is
especially invigorating. Af-
ter exercise, treat yourself
'o a cool shower And at
night, relax in a warm bath.
When you're ready for
sleep, make sure your mat-
tress is in good condition.
Don't confuse softness with
comfort. If your spine sags
in bed, your back muscles
are being strained. The re-
sult? A tiring, uneasy night.
It is equally important to
care for your posture when
you arise. Stand up straight
and face the world. Slouch-
ing crowds the lungs, mak-
ing your breath shallowly
Your lungs don't fill fully
with air, you don't get
enough oxygen, you end up
feeling fatigued
If possible, take rest
breaks during the day Re-
laxing with your eyes closed
provides about 80" as much
rest as you would get if you
were actually sleeping.
Your doctor of chiroprac
tic, who offers preventive
and rehabilitative counsel in
addition to corrective health
treatment, recorrfmends that
you follow this list of
fatigue-fighting measures
They should give you the
energy to not only cope
with the Holidays, but ap-
proach the New Year with
enthusiasm
Some historians believe that
the modern western
alphabet, the Hebrew al-
phabet, the Arabic alphabet
and the Devanagari, an
alphabet used in India,
are all based ultimately
on signs of the Egyptian
hieroglyphic writing.

surrounding an occurrence.
Groundwaters and streams
redistribute the uranium
which frequently results in
high concentrations in water
and in fine stream sediments
outward and downstream for
some distance from the
source. The systematic
sampling of the nation's
streams is expected to
provide evidence of uranium
occurrences not currently
known.
Overall management for
the program is the respons-
ibility of DOE's Grand
Junction (Colorado) Office.
Union Carbide is responsible
for surveys in 12 Central
Plains states. Surveys in
other states are being
conducted by the Los
Alamos Scientific
Laboratory and the
Savannah River Laboratory.
Groundwater and stream
sediment samples are being
collected at various
locations throughout the
nation. The samples will be
analyzed and the data
plotted on maps. The reports
will be available for public
inspection at several
locations, including the
Texas Bureau of Economic
Geology in Austin.
The hydrogeochemical
survey is only one phase of
the contract work already
under way in Texas by the
NURE program. Contracts
and agreements have been
made by DOE with
universities, private c<a
panies and state agencie^
conduct other investigations
pertaining to the uranium
assessment program. The
types of work include air-
borne radiometric surveys,
geological and geochemical
investigations, and the
development of geophysical
technology.
