" I got involved as an alcoholism therapist,” Showell said " It's a therapy based on caring with more dignity for the alcoholic.” There are alcoholism programs in the Portland area which use the aversion technique There were two men in our unit discussing the program they had been in across town.” said Ed Leahy, program coordinator at Gresham. "They had been given a shot to make them sick, then told to drink Sobering up could be the nicest thing one person could do for another on Christinas. That’s the opinion of Bill Showell. regional manager for Careunit. the largest private alcoholism facility in the nation. ‘‘Thev don’t have to feel shiime or guilt, but they have to admit they have the problem because of the stigm a.

"We think people should have a little more dignity than that.” The Careunit stresses the disease concept of alcoholism "People can’t be a little bit alcoholic just as they can’t be a little bit pregnant.” Showell said. He pointed out that 50 per cent of alcoholics are women. "In the m iddle class housewife, we see a dual ad diction problem. She closes the drapes and goes to the toilet tank to get her bottle of gin to take with her Valium or Librium .” What happens is a synergetic effect in which one part alcohol and one part tranquilzer is more than the sum of the parts, he said P rice s good g Prices Today thru Sat., Dec. 4, 1976 FredMeyer N u tr itio n C e n te r s ^ -10 D a ily -1 0 -7 Sun ■ 1201 Grand 8I»4 Nl Vancouver Wash 9-1 0 D aily & Sun • 2497 I » u ro n d r td G rev b o m O te • 3 7 4 0 M a r k e t NE S ale m O re • 3 4 * 0 C o m m e rc ia l St S I S ale m O re • 1 2 0 3 2 S I 0«vi»»en P o rtla n d O r * • 6 0 D iv is io n St E ugene O re Super Vites ioo s Reg. $6 25 $525 Natur Gio High potency vitam in and m inoral supplom ont Buy Baking Needs in Bulk Bulk Currants Reg SI 7 9 lb Compare and save!

The withdrawl is painful and it takes a long tim e.” Leahy said he's seeing more and more young people in the Careunit. "The kids are knocking off the street drugs because at least with alcohol they know what they're getting by reading the label. With street drugs, they just don’t know what they’ve got," Leahy said. Family therapy is stressed at Careunit, the regional manager said. ‘ "We call the wife or husband the co-alcoholic—essentially they go through the same kind of problems.” Showell said "As the husband begins to give up responsibilities—paying the bills, earning the money— the wife begins to take over the responsibility. "When the husband becomes sober, the wife worries about letting him take that respon sibility back. One, because it’s nice to be in control and, two, they’re not sure he’s going to stay sober ” Leahy sm iled as he remembered one participant in the Careunit program.

"And we're keeping a close watch on the situation ” Schultz said if the dry spell continues for two or more months it could lead to a power shortage in the area, although he pointed out there is no cause for alarm at this time. "The stream flows are down to a level we re not happy w ith ," Schultz said. He said the five-day forecast indicates that the dry spell w ill continue for at least that long and that other forecasts indicate the pattern w ill continue through December. However, Schultz said he could not vouch for the accuracy of the long-term forecasts. The Northwest Power Pool w ill analyze the weather situation in a couple of months. Schultz said, and if conditions warrant, may have to take prelim inary steps to curtail a power shortage. "In the Northwest, we’d be faced with ra tio n in g of energy to avoid the catosrophic situation of running out of power storage If the situation got really bad, we’d request the state to impose some measures,” Schultz said Schultz said that although it has been dry in Northwest Oregon, there have been some encouraging w eather developments north of the area on the B-Complex to o s Reg $4 35 so» e * ea No color* no j >ugar E FredMeyer Each of these advertised items must be readily available for sale at or below the advertised price in each Fred Meyer Nutrition Center, except as specifically noted in this ad.

C liff Watkins, acting chief of the Power Supply Branch of the Bonneville Power Administration <BPA), said it is too early to determine if thre w ill be power shor tages. However, he added that “ odds are we w ill get enough precipitation to fill the reservoirs.” Watkins said the BP A does not have any excess power at this time but the ad m inistration is looking forward to an average snowfall in December Even if the dry spell continues, Watkins said the BPA could meet its firm energy demands Much of the BPA water comes from the Montana Rockies and Canada, and although it has been dry there, Watkins said it has not been as had as in North-> west Oregon. Part ot the problem is that there has been below average snowfall on Mt Hood If this trend continues, there would be little run-off in the spring and the reservoirs would not fill, according to an Army Corps of Engineers spokesman " I f the trend continues, then it’s true that we’ll be short of power next year," he said. Gordon Green, head of the Reservoir Control Center of the Corps of Engineers, said there is enough power for this year but if the reservoirs don’t fill in the spring that problems could develop next year.

Green said, a situation he does not anticiate this year November is normally one of the highest months for precipitation. However, Port land International Airport reported measurable precipitation was 77 inches, the lowest it’s been for a Novemlier in Portland since 1936, according to the National Weather Service Hie normal precipitation for the moqih is 5.61 inches, the service said Jerry Youngberg, a forecaster for the National Weather Service, said a strong high pressure ridge is forcing storms north of the area. "This is normally a summer pattern that has slipped into the fall and early w inter,” Youngberg said The weather service is predicting t>elow normal precipitation for at feast the first two weeks of December Although Portland rainfall may not be an accurate gauge of precipitation in the Northwest, it does indicate what the pattern has been for the area. Northwest Power Pool’s M errill Schultz said the performance of alternate sources of power — such as the Trojan Nuc lear Power Plant — could determine the severity of future power shortages. " I f the performance of other power plants is poor, it could aggravate the situation,” Schultz said. "B ut if they perform well, it could alleviate any potential power problems ” Mobile home must go, 1 appeals court says A Clackamas County couple must remove a mobile home from their property because it The court, in an opinion by Judge Herbert Schwab, af firmed the decision of Circuit Court Judge Howard J.
