Oregon livestock producers can now get in stant market information 24 hours a day. seven days a week A new telephone delivery system instituted by the (iregon State University Extension Service provides a daily tape-recorded report of prices and price trends for cattle, hogs, sheep and feed The number to call is 754- 2037 •The main advantage of this system is that it helps livestock producers keep up with rapid changes in market conditions and prices,” said Steve Marks. OSU Extension economist. In addition, it provides a wide range of market in formation. much of it based on recent transactions within the trading area of Oregon livestock producers The daily reports cover Pacific Northwest and Northern California m arkets for cattle, hogs, sheep, lambs, feed grains, hay and barley A r iz o n a , S o u th e rn C alifornia and Colorado lamb sales at feed lots are covered And Midwest price trends for fed cattle, hogs, lambs, and carcass beef and lamb are reported.

Unless we keep breathing during sleep. however, life ends abruptly. Breathing disorders during sleep are often impossible to diagnose when the person is awake. Babies who appear perfectly healthy may die suddenly in their sleep Nocturnal asthma is one of several conditions that may be triggered by sl«>ep And adults with chronic ob structive lung diseases may be in jeopardy when breathing patterns shift wildly when they are asleep Loud, prolonged snoring m ay be a symptom of trouble, and it should be brought to a physician s attention The trouble is that people who live or sleep alone may be completely unaware of the symptom Breathing is stable and sleep seems restorative during nonREM sleep, when no rapid eye movements are present. In the early phases of this type of sleep, healthy people inhale less air than they do when they are awake but at rest. D urin g R E M periods, however, breathing becomes irregular; heart rates and blood pressure fluctuate wildly. Healthy babies may stop breathing for as long as 10 second; adults may stop breathing up to 15 or 20 seconds As the pause stretches, the next breath may never come Getting a lift SANDY HIG H SCHOOL District Superintendent Jack Peters is pictured above trying out a new van the high school pur chased recently.

Hood Community College will have an opportunity to practice forestry techniques while raising 1200 port O rford cedars recently donated through Crown Z e lle rb a c h ’s G if, T ree Program. About 1,000 of the two-year- old seedlings were planted by students on a one and one half acre plot southwest of the intersection of Stark Street and Troutdale Hoad Some 25 students hand- planted the trees using hoedads borrowed from the U S Forestry Service John Stuart, forestry in structor, said students will gain experience in site preparation, fertilization and pruning as the trees mature. In five to 10 years, when the trees are 25-10-30-feet tall and about 18 inches in diameter, students w ill begin p reco m m ercial thinning. This process involves cutting down trees that have become overcrowded Forest survey students will also use the land for survey AFTER INVENTORY CLEARANCE 60% SAVINGS CHOOSE FROM: GAMES • PUZZLES • PRE-SCHOOL DOLLS • TEACHING AIDS • COLORING BOOKS • CHILDRENS BOOKS • OFFICE SUPPLIES - LIMITED QUANTITY NO EXCHANGES OR REFUNDS #9900 Tasco __ “Discoverer” Microscope Paramedic Van Reg. $12.00 REGULAR *29” 100x, 200x, 300x Ti / FISCHER-PRICE NOW $16.88 Police Bike Coast Guard > Rescue ' Copter > Reg. $12.00 NOW ’4Mta= Regular $12.00 NOW $4 88 LIFT & RAILROAD Busy 24 piece roilrood featuring locomotive with a unique motor, frock, crank crane, loading platform, lots of fun & excitement for kids. t e ’ % 9 5 NOW ’15“ LENGTH OF CASSETTE APPROXIMATE COPY TIME REGULAR PRICE WITH COUPON Most people avoid thinking about death “even though we know it's a crisis that will affect every fam ily,” Mrs Straatinan notes “ As a result our society now provides few guidelines for dealing with this crucial even, when it happens ” SI 89 $ 89 1 minute 30 minute $1 59 S2 59 2 minutes 60 minute S3 39 $2 39 3 minutes 90 minute $3 39 S4 39 4 minutes 120 minute To assist us in gathering inlorm ation about uses lor Rezound cas setle copies ind icate on the line below the type ol m atenal you re copying Thank you 4M m .AL/} team ing ttlortd 4 n u - w I2G2OLND eviHf.riNTir, i t < EAST PORTLAND STORE - 181st & Glisan, next to Albertsons (503)667-3403 1 t Clemmons said the Gift Tree Program has operated for several years “ We make trees available to the public for a aethetic purposes ” Several other schools and universities have also received donations, he ad tied Mt.
