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.

tilla and Morrow counties is
$1,858,367.
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.
