Mack, M J )„ President of Oregon Thoracic Society We can close our eyes to wipe out the world. But we can't shut our ears. The decibel count in our In dustrial aoclery is soaring. Jet planes streak across our skies. Trucks and millions of cars pound our highways. Rock music chokes the a ir waves, and television sets turned up too high assault our silence. Noise bombardment affects our hearing and high levels a n cause permanent hearing damage. Experiments have shown exposure to high levels disrupts sleep and rest pat tern«, causes Irrita b ility and mental distress, and reduces work capacity. A b n o r m a l heart rhythm may be asso ciated with long-term occupa tional noise exposure. F o r reasons not yet fully un derstood, noise even affects the way we breathe. A recent Î FAMILYÄ LAWYER. Tuition for Public School? Squeezed for funds, a hoard of education decided Io impose a tui tion fee on all high «chool stu dents. In short order, indignant parents went to court to complain. They pointed out that the stale constitution called for a system of "free” public education. In reply, the board argued that it was simply using its discretion to ease a light financial situation. Bui the court decided that tuition was indeed unconstitutional. "The right of children Io attend public school," said the court, "is not dependent on the discretion of anyone.” The W ig h t WitifMYs’ [Mugram N ortheast Portland MARANA I HA EVANGELISTIC CENTER 1222 N J ..

Army shows that our rate of breathing actually decreases from exposure to noise. And the heart rate and blood pres sure increase. Experiments on animals showed that expo sure to high levels of noise also damaged the kidney, liver and stomach, aswell ts caused deviations in brain waves and skin resistance. We can, of course, start wearing earplugs and insu lated helmets. B u tw eca n a l- so demand that top levels for noise be established i t the places where we work and the cities where we live.

Federal funds also subsidize about 25 to 30 per cent of hot-lunch costs for all students. During a typical year, stu dent-staff patrons of school cafeterias and snack b a r s consum e 37-1/2 tons of cheese, 67,800 gallons of Ice cream, 270,000 Ice cream cups, 50 tons of french fries, 50 tons of ground beef, 14- 1/2 tons of fish, 108,000 bags of potato chips, 96,000 bags of com curls and 300,000gallons of fru it juices. Food Is prepared locally In 68 elementarles and 14 high achools. Those kitchens also prepare and transport hot lunches to 28 elementaries and 26 early-chlldhood-edu- cation centers. M rs . Smalley pointed out that school lunch prices In Portland w ill remain equal to or less than prices in subur ban school districts. With education costs climbing, there has been renewed interest in the idea of charging fees of one kind or another to public ichool sludenta. B i l l tuition, at least, has usually been ruled out because of the requirement that education should be free. Lesser fees, loo, have been re jected by the courts more often than not In another case, a school board tried to charge pupils for their textbooks. The board’s the ory was that "free” education re ferred merely Io the school build ing and the teachers — not Io "extras. ” However, the court held this fee unconstitutional also, saying that books are an integral part of the educational prixess I he judge commented: "No education of any value is possible without school books.” Nevertheless, another school hoard did succeed in collecting a texthixik deposit from its students. This time, the plan had two fea tures Ihnt made it more palatable: 1) the deposit was waived for anv student who could not pay it; and 2) the deposit was refunded at Ihe end of the semester, if the bsMiks were returned in reasonably good condition. A court decided that this kind of a fee was too minor a burden on Ihe educational process to be objectionable. All it amounted Io, said the court, was a practical method of encouraging students to take good rare of their books.

D ea r C o n su m er M A IL O R D E R Check Refrigerators, Stoves Before Buying + G old O f course, I had to make some basic decisions myself. Did I want an electric or gas stove? Did I want a side-by-side freezer-refrigerator combina tion, or did I w ant a re frigerator with the freezer at the top or at the bottom? Then I had to take into account the amount of space available in nay kitchen for each appliance and how much oven capacity and freerer-refrigerator capacity I needed for my fam ily. The government’s purchas ing experts really were not qualified to advise me on these questions, but their checklist for safety and effi ciency was very useful. You may want to use it too: '* Ampere rating for re frigerators You can usually find this on a plate either on the back or in some other in conspicuous place. The high er the amperes, the higher the cost of operation. ' Shelves Adjustable re frigerator shelves and half shelves allow you to make the most efficient use of the interior space. The shelves should fit close to the back and sides but should be easily removable for cleaning. ' Condenser. The conden ser is the long tube with parallel metal fins that mean ders along either the back or the underside of the re frigerator. It should be cleaned at least »very six months. Ask for a demonstra tion to see how easily this can be done. v A ir vents. Cold air vents in the freezer should be designed to prevent packages and containers from block ing the flow of cold air. ' Safety. Avoid re frig erators with sharp edges on the door and sharp handles as well as those with unpro tected lightbulbs inside the cabinet. Stoves should have a safety certification label— Underwriters Laboratory for ■ lectric stoves and American Gaa Association Inatitute for gas stoves. > Placement of control«. The stove controls should be easy for you to work, but difficult enough to discour age a small child, or they should be placed so they are out of reach. Check to make lure you do not have to lean over a hot burner to reach the controls. ' Stability. You should check all of the removable elements of the top of the stove to make sure they fit firm ly in place without tilting. x' Oven. Put a piece of paper between the oven door and the body of the stove; if the paper pulls out easily, you are going to loae heat. Y Racks. Pull the racks almost out of the oven, put your hand on them with a little pressure to make sure they do not d it or bend. This can be very important when you are pulling a heavy roast out of the oven or basting a turkey. T ry the doors to make sure they stay open. And for both stoves and refrigerators, read the in struction books and guaran tees before buying. Get an swers to your questions be fore you buy, not afte r the appliance is installed.

Before shopping for these appliances, I checked with some of the Federal Government’s purchasing experts. They suggested a number of tests that I_ or anyone—could perform in a store to compare the efficiency and safety features of stoves and refrig erators. ftS? 18kt - D ip t.
