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.

More power than our HP-35. 32 pre-pro
grammed functions and operations vs. 22 for
our HP-35. 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.
Your bookstore will give you a demonstra
tion today. Challenge our new HP-21 with
your problems. See for yourself how much per
formance $125.00* can buy. If your bookstore
doesn't have the HP-21 yet, call us at 800
