Bazaar Nominations for members being accepted now Farmers are reminded that the Jefferson County ASCS office is now receiving nominations for ASCS county committee election candi dates. Sam Brown, County Executive Director, encouraged farmers to use this opportunity to nominate their farm neighbors as candidates in the ASC committee election. Brown said the ASC committee provides the important service of ad ministering government farm pro grams in the local community. The election will be conducted by mail from November 27 to December 7. Eligible farm voters will be provided with instructions for filling out the secret ballot and returning it to the county ASC office. Most resident farmers are eligible to hold office as ASC committee members. If a farmer would like de tailed information concerning eligi bility requirements, he or she should contact either a present committee member or the county ASCS office. In filling out a petition, farmers Drinking alcohol while pregnant could Doctors have documented that drinking alcohol while pregnant is harmful but many teens are not aware of the dangers it can cause their fu ture babies. To promote the hazards of drink ing while pregnant, the Association for Retarded Citizens is kicking off a campaign to inform junior high stu dents about the dangers of alcohol. ARC, with national headquarters in Arlington, has developed a unit for eighth grade science, home eco nomics and health classes. The unit focuses on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, which occurs when a woman drinks during pregnancy. ARC staff said they want to get the curriculum used by school dis tricts nationwide. They have tested it at area schools, including a Nichols Junior High life science class. Nichols teacher Lori Nelson said she was impressed by the material she presented during a human r production unit. "I think it's needed in thdlcurricu lum," Nelson said. "The use of drugs and alcohol doesn't start at the high school level anymore it's starting in junior high. Students need to be made aware of the consequences." FAS is a pattern of mental, physi cal and behavioral birth defects de veloped in an unborn child when the mother drinks alcohol during preg nancy. Birth defects include severe men tal retardation, behavioral problems, visible facial abnormalities like cleft palate, kidney defects, bone and joint or heart defects. The U.S. Public Health Service estimates FAS occurs in two of every 1,000 live births, increasing to 10 to 12 babies afflicted with less severe alcohol-related birth defects, said to Dr. Jerry Adams, FAS program di rector. The effect of alcohol in unborn babies is so profound because they cannot absorb it as easily as an adult, Adams said. "Any alcohol the mothers drinks, goes into the child's bloodstream too," he said. "The mother has the enzymes that help pass the alcohol November 3 election results-Continued cent, or 209, voted yes on the mea sure.

Bazaar to be held in Chiloquin hours will be from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., both weekends. The bazaar will be located at the Masonic Hall on Main Street in Chiloquin, Oregon. The price per tablespace will be $25.00 for the weekend, or $15 per day. The people participating in the ASCS committee should be careful to include the name of only one nominee, the signatures of at least three eligible ASC voters who support the nominee and certi fication that the nominee is willing to serve if elected. Petitions must con tain this information to be accepted. The completed petition should be dated and mailed or hand-delivered to the county ASCS office no later than November 2. ; ASC committee elections are open to all eligible ASC voters without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, handicap or national origin. Brown explained that any concerned farmer with an interest in serving fellow producers would be an asset to the ASC committee. For this rea son, farmers are urged to petition for the farmers of their choice. The in dividual producer will benefit in the long run from a responsible, con cerned team of ASC committee members in the local administrauon of the U.S. government farm pro grams, Brown said. out of the body, but the baby's liver cannot do that. The alcohol can stay in its system for as long as 24 hours." A high alcohol level in the blood stream of a fetus can affect develop ment of the nervous system, brain or other organs, Adams said. The curriculum consists of manu als, a booklet illustrated with car toons and a Monopoly-style educa tional game called "Friends and Ras cals." Tapes and videos are planned, said former teacher Elizabeth Howard, an ARC program specialist who helped write the curriculum. The texts describe how the risk to a fetus increases with the number of drinks taken by a mother per day. An average of more than four drinks per day can increase the risk of mental retardation. Two drinks a day can contribute to low birth weight.

Howard said she is proud of one feature in the unit which polls stu dents to indicate belief systems that could lead to alcohol problems. Attitudes include "beer and wine are not as harmful as hard liquor," "everybody drinks" and "it's all right to get drunk on special occasions." Nearly a quarter of the students in the pilot test were in the high-risk range, with another quarter in the borderline area. Adams said the re sults could have been even higher if the poll had been given under more controlled conditions. "It was really shocking to find that so many of the kids were in the me dium to high risk area," said Nelson. "It was just the things they consid ered were okay to do that really aren't."

The drive is to collect the aluminum opening tabs from bever age cans (pop, beer and juice) from any or all community members. The metal tabs can be pulled off the cans, and will not interfere with refunds of cans. The tabs arc turned in by the pound. For example, it takes 1,000 tabs to equal one pound. Beverage companies then buy the tabs and the money goes to help pay for kidney dialysis, transplants, and also the cost of transportation of patients. The drive is a year long event between seventh and eighth grade students at MJHS. All students were encouraged to make posters and take donation jars around to different businesses for collection of tabs from local residents. Donations can also be given to a student or brought to MJHS. Resi dents arc encouraged to help.

"One of the big selling points for this curriculum is that we've done a correlation with Texas Essential El ements (curriculum guidelines)," said Howard. "If we can please Texas, we will please 99 percent of the other states." Although the dangers of alcohol abuse are discussed, Howard said the intent is not to give students another lecture on alcoholism, ignored by many in the high-risk groups. "We're doing alcohol education rather than alcoholism prevention," Howard said. "We're taking a lifestyle approach, not necessarily reform them but to save the child."
