Portland Observer Thursday. Septem ber 13. 1979 Page 7 Oregon State predicts wetter winter The odds are strongly in favor o f a normal or wetter-lhan-usual winter, says an Oregon State University at mospheric scientist who uses 80-year Oregon weather records to back that statement. “ There have never been two con secutive years since the turn o f the century that western Oregon—or for that matter any broad area in Ore gon— has had precipitation 25 per cent below normal or drier,” Profes sor Fred W.

Wyden said he is running because, “ Third District Democrats tell me they need a strong voice to speak for them and a good ear to listen to them. " I ’ m running because all o f us want to change the policies o f big government and big special interest lobbies that burn a hole in our pocket today." Wyden told a large crowd that gathered to launch his campaign, "Those o f us who have been active in this community have proven that we have the know-how and the tough ness to remake government that does not meet our needs. I organized people in the community. We took on the u tility companies and forced changes in traditional practices that were unfair to consumers who pay the bills. We stood up to the health and auto insurance companies so that policies w ould be more leadable, less discrim inatory, and produce larger benefit payments. To gether we helped make a dent in our inflation problem by showing low and m iddle income persons with small savings accounts how to use new Federal banking laws so that they could almost double the rate of interest they earn on their savings.

With just one week gone in the month, Eugene had 68 per cent more rain than it generally gets in all o f September, Decker observed. C or vallis was 4 1 per cent over the normal all-month total; Salem, 26 per cent over. The first week rain reading ai the Portland A irp o rt Station was only I0 per cent below normal for the entire month. Hello, Wfelnut Park I beginning Friday Sept 21 at 9am.

" I f there’ s hope fo r an Indian summer, it looks like it will have to come at the end o f September or in early October.” H istorical weather records are "v e ry valuable,” Decker empha sized. “ They paint the big picture.
