The study is financed by $25,000 grant from the National instituto nf Health. It includes investigation of the metabolism the way an organism uses us food--and chemical make-up of a radiation-resistant bacterium discovered at OSC two years ago. The bacterium has now been es tablished as a now, distinct spec ies and has been tentatively named micrococcus radiodurons. Dr A W Anderson is a loader of the study. Tests at the OSC agricultural experiment station have shown the new species can withstand radiation doses of more than 4 million roentgens--about 10,000 times as much as a normal hum an. New research has also found that the bacteria are equally re sistant to normally-lethal doses of ultra-violet light and X-rays. The ability of the microorgan ism to resist radiation damage Tho district finals to select the i has attracted wide interest over Boardman Hearing Held on Phone Rale Increase by Mary Lee Marlow A public hearing on telephone rates, requested bv Walter Kar- nop.p of Pilot Rock, manager of the Eastern Oregon Telephone company, was hold Thursday, Jan 30, bv the Public Utilities com mission of Oregon. S J Maerz, Public Utilities Commissioner from Salem, conducted the hear ing, which was held in the gra nge hall, with about 123 por scons attending. Also present wore Robert unrun ot the depart ment of finance and accounts, and John Cain, PUC reporter, of Salom. The Eastern Oregon Telephone company serves the communities of Pilot Rock, Ukiah and Board man. Dial service was installed in Boardman Aug 3. 1957. and the hearing for the raise in rates was rociuested bv KarnoDD at this time. Orisinallv the hearinc was scheduled for all three com munities served by the company, but chanced to pertain to Board- man only. According to Karnopp the cost or installation of the now svstem in Boardman was $38,741, which included the cost of removal of the old system, which was $G51.00 This was bor rowed from the REA at 2 in terest. Boardman residents have been paying $2.25 plus tax per month for their phones. The rates as requested by the Eastern Oregon Telephone company are as foll ows: business phone $7.75; single party line, residential, $5.75; four party line, $4.50; rural, includ ing anything outside the city limits up to a ten party line, $5.75 extension phone, $1.75. All rates are monthly. Service connection rates for now customers, busin ess nhone S3 and residential $6.50. The Pacific Telephone company owns all toll linos tor tne Koarct man exchange.

EXAMINER TO BE HERE A drivers license examiner will bo on duty in Heppner at the court house Tuesday, Feb 11 from 9:30 to 3:30 p m. the nation and in Lurope, ur Fllikor said. Cultures of the bact eria have been supplied to lab oratories in the United States and England. The radiation-resistant bact eria studied to date areni uis- ease producing, Dr Anderson em phasized, and are easily killed with heat. Study of the microorganism was nromDted when OSC scien tists found the metabolism of the bacteriam was apparently diff erent from that of any' living matter studied by science to date. It is hoped this study will lead to a better understanding of the mechanism of radiation resist ance and ultimately to ways of protecting other living organisms against radiation damage. Work is being carried out by Dr Anderson, Dr II D Raj, and Miss Frances Duryea, OSC bact eriologists, in cooperation with Dr C II Wang of the chemistry department.
