Fadeley continues to oppose burning By JACKMAN WILSON Of the Emerald State representative Nancie Fadeley, (D-Eugene) addressed Thursday nights’ monthly meeting of the Sierra Club on the issue of field burning. Introduced by local chapter president Ron Eber as “one of our best friends in Salem”, Fadeley reaffirmed her opposition to any compromise on the 1971 bill which calls for a ban on field burning as of this year. “I compromised in 1971,” Fadeley said. “Banning something four years off is a lot different than banning something right away.” The Senate Comittee on Agriculture and Natural Resources begins hearings next week on a bill which would indefinitely postpone the field burning ban. Other proposals before the legislature include Gov. Straubs' compromise plan which would increase per-acre burning fees and reduce the number of acres burned to 50,000 by 1976. State Sen. Jason Boe has suggested a four year phase-out of field burning, while Sen. Brown has a bill which would allow grass seed growers to deduct losses incurred by the ban from their taxable form. Rep. Fadeley noted a lack of statewide concern on the issue of field burning. She traced this to the fact that few people outside the lower Willamette valley have to contend with the heavy pollution caused by field burning in the late summer months. "I really do feel that this is a health problem,” Fadeley told the Sierra Club. 'The economic cost to us has not been considered at all.” She said there has been a "very strange silence” on the part of other industries on the field burning issue. “They seem to be asking, 'We had to pay a price, how come they shouldn't?’ ” Fadeley said she sees merit in placing field burners under Environmental Quality Commission jurisdiction like other polluters. One man suggested that the entire oroblem could be solved if every family in Eugene would buy fifty bales of straw every year. He represents a statewide straw marketing firm. Hewlett-Packard introduces a smaller uncompromising calculator: the HP-21 Scientifi $125.00: M E W L. £ T T, «=* A C. .

The HP-21 performs all log and trig functions, the latter in radians or degrees. It’s our only calculator short of the HP-45 that lets you: • convert polar to rectangular coordinates, and back again (->P, -»R) ; • do full register arithmetic (M + , M—, MX, M+); • calculate a common antilog (IOX) with a single keystroke. The HP-21 also performs all basic data manipulations (1/x, yx, Vx) ") and executes all pre-programmed functions in one second or less. In sum, it’s designed to solve tomorrow’s problems as well as today’s. Smaller size. 6 ounces vs. 9 ounces for our HP-35. Full display formatting. The display key (DSP) lets you choose between fixed decimal and Scientific notation and lets you control the num ber of places displayed. (The HP-21 always uses all 10 digits internally.) If a number is too large or small for fixed decimal display, the HP-21 switches automati cally to scientific. It never confuses a smaller number with zero. Finally, if you give the HP-21 an impossible instruction, the Display spells E-r-r-o-r. RPN logic system. Here’s what this unique logic system means for you: • You can evaluate any expression without copying parentheses, worrying about hierar chies or re-structuring beforehand. • You can solve all problems your way—the way you now use when you use a slide rule. • You solve all problems—no matter how com plex—one step at a time. You never work with more than two numbers at once. • You sec all intermediate answers immediately. The HP-21 executes each function immedi ately after you press the function key. • You can easily backtrack when you err. The HP-21 performs all operations sequentially. • You can re-use numbers without re-entering them. The HP-21 becomes your scratch pad. H-P quality craftsmanship. One reason Nobel Prize winners, astronauts, conquerors of Ever est, America’s Cup navigators and over 500,000 other professionals own H-P calculators.
