TWO The CaetU- Times, ll )in-r, Ore.. Thursday. March 21. I!T t 1 'i' IRRIO BOARDMAN to HlONE IEXINGTOnA 1 TOO TOMORROW Bv Tom Around the horn, baseball fans. Here we go! The University of Oregon reports that professor Mervin John Moldowan is trying to make white rats into alcoholics. There is a very serious aspect to this study. We will pass that up to note that the only animal, other than man, in which alcohol induced liver injury has been produced is the baboon. From the March issue of Oregon Wildlife comes this story: "The metal strips used to band birds are inscribed: "Notify Fish and Wildlife Service, Washington, D.C." They used to read, "Washington Biological Survey," abbreviated to "Wash. Biol. Surv." This was changed after an Arkansas farmer shot a crow and disgustedly wrote the U.S. Government: "Dear Sirs: I shot one of your pet crows the other day. My wife followed the instructions attached and I want to tell you it was terrible." From the Heppner Grade School paper, Pony Express, comes this gem. Ray Miller reports: "Health instead of P.E., is being taught by Mr. Deford. His class is learning to prevent tooth decay, athlete's foot, acne, and the basic run around." I don't know what basic run around is under study. I do know I would be better off if I had learned to prevent it when I was in the eighth grade. According to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare's National Center for Education Statistics, there will be plenty of work in store for persons with new teaching credentials. The report says that 70,000 persons are expected to graduate this spring with teaching credentials, but without teaching positions available. It won't be long before I am past the wonderful age of 40. I wasn't writing when I hit the magic marker. For me, it is that point where I have almost convinced myself that the body is no longer a marketable commodity. Can my brain be far behind? Too old to be trusted by the young. Not quite old enough to be trusted by the untrustworthy. What is it like to be 40? Depends on who you are. You can be sure that the proverb, "Too soon old, too late smart," applies in most cases. For some people, growing old is something like being trapped in a sinking ship which brings us back to the rats. I don't know what all the battle against age is about, except it be the loss of a very limited means of transportation. Letters Savings To the editor: , ; I have sent an invitation to Columbia Basin Electric Co-op to come to the Heppner Laundromat and to effect "a 100 per cent saving in my energy bill," as they advertised in last week's paper they have done for Kinzua.

The tax increase is expected to be less than 26 cents per $1,000 true cash value. Gaylord Madison, Butter creek, appeared before the board to ask that the increase be kept to six per cent. He complimented President Ron Daniels for keeping the cur rent figure as low as he did, then asked that it be reduced further. Daniels explained that the increase in existing programs was 6.6 per cent, but that a proposed Associate Degree Nursing program added another 1.1 per cent, bringing the total increase to 7.77 per cent. Madison expressed strong support for a good nursing program at the col lege, then asked the board to reduce the increase to six per cent. Board member Malachi Campbell, Hermiston, said: "We've been through this budget thoroughly and we've cut it every place we know where to cut it without being detrimental to the college. I wouldn't know where to cut it further without being detri mental to our program." BMCC has no tax base, therefore the full amount of the tax levy must be taken to the voters Apr. 19.
