Ocl. 30. 1975 Heavy drinkers should be aware that a good diet ii no answer (o alcoholism, accord ing to a Veterans Administra tion report appearing in a recent issue of (he Journal of Ihe American Medical Associ ation. "Good nutrition will not prevent alcoholics from deve loping liver damage unless they rul down their alcohol consumption," said Dr. Char les S. Lieber, Chief of Ihe Section of Liver Disease and Nutrition at the Bronx. N Y. VA Hospital and Professor of Medicine at Ml. Sinai School of Medicine. "Traditionally, Ihe disord ers affecting the liver in alcoholics have been attribut ed exclusively lo nutritional deficiencies accompanying alcoholism," Dr. Lieber said, "but recent studies indicate that in addition to dietary deficiencies alcohol itself is a factor in producing alcoholic liver disease." IRRIGON NEWS L Frances Rose Wilson Retail Dispensers Must Compute Colleges rate high Completion of a two-year comprehensive study of the strengths and deficiencies of Oregon's 13 community colleges has been announced by the Foundation for Oregon Research and Educatio n(FORE), a privately funded group composed of business and professional leaders from around Ihe state. The completed study was presented to Verne A. Duncan, Oregon Superintendent of Public Instruction Monday by Lawrence L. Rennet!, chairman of the Study Steering Committee. Among its 40 conclusions, the FORE study recommends: Avoid or eliminate ranking for community college instructors, I.e., full professorship, assistant professor, associate professor; The Legislature define carefully and clearly the areas of responsibility for management and the areas of responsi bility for labor; establish clear basic ground rules within which collective bargaining should take place; That local community college boards of education monitor programs and drop courses when enrollments fall below an established minimum, priorities shift, or occupational opportunities diminish; -Closer cooperation between community colleges and four-year schools to make credits earned at the two-year schools more freely transferrable within the state system of higher education; -Retention of the present funding formula (50 per cent state general fund. 30 per cent district property taxes, 20 per cent student tuition) and; Better utilization of existing college buildings in lieu of further construction. The study alio recommends the Oregon State Board of Education adopt a systematic method of program evaluation for community colleges to insure better accountability to the legislature and taxpayers. Kennel t stated, "We were impressed with the diversity of the 1 3 colleges and of the importance of keeping the fine line lielween independence and state leadership which seems so eminently successful." FORE recommended the present decentralized form of governance for the community college system be continued giving the schools local autonomy wilhin broad state policies under the direction of a local community college district hoard. The final report represents the work of five subcommit tees, each assigned to examine a particular aspect of community college programs or administration. Kennel I said subcommittee study areas were developed w ith the help ol the state's community college presidents. A steering committee comprised of subcommittee chairmen and several non-subcommittee members completed the study com mil lee organization. Rennet! said the central purpose of the FORE study was to evaluate and determine Ihe effectiveness of the use of public tax dollars in community colleges. "As Ihe study progressed over the past two years, and particularly as we visited the 13 campuses, our study committee became impressed with the high quality and dedication of these community college administrators and their staff." Rennet! concluded. A Hobo Dance is planned for Saturday night, Nov. 1 by the Irrigon Lion's Club at their clu!souse. A dinner was given and there was a presentation of awards Oct. 16, honoring young people who helped work in the scrap metal drive and those who worked in the Fair booth in Hermiston. Lion's District Governor and Mrs. Jay Binder of Madras, were special guests. Ron Daniels of Boardman was Master of Ceremonies. Dist. Gov. Binder spoke to the group of attended.

Radial tires no substitute for snow tires Contrary to the impression cf many motorists, radial tires are no substitute for snow tires for winter driving, ac cording to new findings re leased by the National Safety Council. Reporting on tests conduct ed by the Council's Committee on Winter Driving Hazards, Stevens Point, Wisconsin, Ray Prince, committee secretary, said, 'Tests show that snow tires provide more traction over a reasonably wide range of snow-covered road condi tions than conventional radial tires that do not have a snow tread." He added the range of performance of the radial tires was quite broad, in some cases exceeding but in some cases even poorer than some conventional highway tires. In these tests, seven brands of radial tires were compared with bias belted highway tires and bias belted snow tires. Both peak and spinning trac tion were measured with the vehicle standing still and also moving forward at a speed of S mph. Snow conditions ranged from approximately one inch of medium packed snow to as much as eight inches of loose snow. In an earlier test program, according to Prince, the Committee found radial tires offered no advantage over conventional tires in either stopping, traction or corner ing performance on glare ice. Prince said the current snow tests were undertaken to help municipalities decide whether to modify their snow ; ordinances to permit radial ; tires in lieu of snow tires. 5 "Considering the outcome of $ these tests and earlier find- ? ings by the Council, it is obvious that conventional ra- dial tires (without a snow :: tread) are not a substitute for 8 snow tires," he concluded. "Motorists should be advised to use snow tires for mild-to-medium snow and ice condi tions and to use reinforced tire chains for severe snow and ice conditions." Summarizing the council's previous test findings, Prince said that conventional snow tires provide only a small improvement in pulling ability on glare ice although they produce half again as much pulling ability as regular tires in loosely packed snow. Stud ded tires are appreciably more effective on ice, giving about three times the pull of regular tire;. And reinforced tire chains provide from four to seven times the pulling ability of regular tires on snow and ice. I)K( LINE IN f Ol'XTV IVKMPIOYMENT Morrow County reported a significant decline in its un employment rate with a 3.7 per cent level, lowest of any county in the state and down from Ihe year ago level of 4 8 per cent. Food products ( 190) over whelmingly provided the im petus for the reduction, as potato processing plants in the Boardman area began to absorb the harvest of northern Morrow and western Umatilla Counties Minor job increases were shown by government i30i and trade i20 while contract construction went down i -Kit. Oregon retail motor fuel dealers face a deadline for installing full-range comput ers on their fuel pumps. The Weights and Measures Division of the Oregon Dept . of Agriculture said all retail fuel dispensers must be in compli ance with state regulations by Jan. 1. 1976. The division licenses all retail fuel measuring devices in the state. As motor fuel prices have moved upward some of the computer-type pumps at retail outlets have become obsolete and unable to accurately compute the higher total purchase price of the fuel. Computing limits on these dispensers are 49 9 cents per gallon and total price limits are $9.99. When prices first started upward on motor fuels there was a shortage of computer conversion kits. To prevent hardship on retailers of motor fuels the Oregon Dept. of Agriculture permitted contin ued use of old equipment and allowed the computerization of the price at a price per half-gallon. This price then could be doubled. K.J. Simila. administrator of the Weights and Measures Division, said after the Jan. 1 deadline the pumps with computing limits of 49.9 cents pergallon will not be allowed. The only way that those fbs i pumps incapable of comput ing totals of more than $9.99 may continue in use is if individual deliveries do not exceed $9 99. The Oregon deadline is the same as that adopted by the National Conference on Wei ghts and Measures. Some stales have already establish ed earlier deadlines. Simila said manufacturers of retail dispensers and dis penser heads have had sup plies to meet demands since January. 1975. Ample supplies of modification kits for exist ing devices are also available. Those violating the compu terization regulations, if they are individuals, are subject to not more than six months imprisonment or a fine not to exceed $500 or both. For those other individual operators there is a fine of not more than $2,500. Simila said. Uteres ip place tip Real (M?l I'FMH.KTUN RR WCII r: S.
