will be conducted Nationwide
by the Economics, Statistics,
and Cooperatives Service
(ESCS) of the U.s. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
A cross section of 700
Oregon farmers and ran
chers will be asked to supply
information between Dec. 20
and Jan. 4. Information will
be
collected
by
m ail
inquiries,
telephone
and
personal interviews
All information collected is
combined to produce state
and national summaries. The
results of this semi-annual
survey will be released Jan.
30 and will provide pro
ducers, farm organizations,
farm planners and others
inform ation to help in
managing the production and
marketing of cattle.
Sampled farms and ran

14-year period show that 200
patients, between birth and
age 21, were hospitalized in
the Health Sciences Center’s
University Hospital due to
serious eye injury.
From this group of 200,
most of the injuries came to
children between ages 8-10
and 12-14. Injury causes
included rocks and dirt clods,
sticks, thrown objects, and
explosions. B-Bs shot from B-
B guns are a main cause of
serious eye injuries The

of
children
hospitalized with eye injuries
from B-Bs in the state of
Oregon averages out to one a
week, a clinic official said.
In the same group of 200
there were 267 operations,
meaning many patients had
more than one operation for
their eye injury or injuries.
Twenty operations were for
eye removals. Thirty-five
per cent of the injured eyes
had a final best corrective
visual acuity of 20-200 or less

was started in hopes that by
reaching chilcken who are

The following article was written by staffers at the
Rape Relief Hotline In Portland. The Hotline, which
has been in existence for years is funded by private
donations and staffed bv CETA workers.
Many women who are raped or assaulted do not
report the crime to police
Estimates place the number of unreported rapes at
anywhere from 50 to 90 percent There is a wide range
of situations and emotions that hold women back from
reporting rape to police.
Some women have been threatened with retaliation
by the rapist if they tell anyone they were raped Some
don’t know about police and court procedures and are
afraid they might be exposed to a humiliating process.
A surprising number of women know the men who
raped them. Many times, the rapist is a member of the
victim’s own family. The victim who knows her rapist
may have a particularly difficult time reporting the
rape to police.
In general, one of the most difficult obstacles for a
woman who has been raped is her fear of being blamed
and her own self blame. Our society has a long history
of blaming the victims rather than the people
responsible for the crime.
Many women believe the myth that anyone who
gets raped brought it on herself — she “ asked for it,”
or “she got what she deserved for not being careful
enough.”
There are women who blame themselves for being
raped even though they were at home asleep with their
doors locked. People need to realize that the most
important responsibility for a rape always lies with the
rapist, not the victim.
The Rape Relief Hotline is doing research to un
derstand the problem of non-reporting. If you have
been raped or assaulted and would be willing to share
your experience and recommendations about changing
this situation, call the Hotline at 224-7125, or write to 522
SW 5th St., Portland. 97204.
All interviews, letters or surveys will be kept strictly
confidential. We would also like you to know about our
counseling and other services which include a rape
victim’s support group.

Relief Hotline services should call the 24-hour number
