Mary Ann Cerullo i This week a group of travelers from, the community of Morrow County, led by Mrs. Jane Rawlins, will be visiting Ashland. Oregon's internationally acclaimed Shakespearean Festival. My husband, Larry, and I just recently returned from Ashland after seeing four of the ten plays offered this year. " Perhaps I should have told our local travelers that out of the four plays we attended, two were outstanding. This year, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival should De proud to have the talent of actor Denis Arndt, through the courtesy of Actors Equity Association. Mr.' Arndt played the leading role of Jack Rover in "Wild Oats" a play by John O'Keefe. Arndt gave the role a flare and raffish charm that delighted the entire audience. Stuart Duckworth proved to have considerable talent in both the light and fun-loving story of "Wild Oats," as troublemaker, Harry Thunder, and in the gruesome tale of incest, "Tis Pity She's a Whore," in which he undertook the leading role of Giovanni. Many may argue over my first choice out of the Shakespearean plays offered. This year I give the honor to "Henry IV, part one." In my opinion, "Henry IV, part one" should be classed as one of William Shakespeare's best history plays and this year the festival outdid themselves. Director James Edmondson should be commended for the strong traditional and fast paced quality given to the performance. Cal Winn was a massive, cowardly, and wonderfully funny Sir John. In the twenty years I have attended the festival, Mr. Winn has portrayed perhaps the finest Falstaff played there. Prince Hal was sensitively played by the festival's handsome veteran actor. Dennis Smith. Another strong character was the fiery-tempered Hotspur, portrayed by Barry Kraft. Kraft gave Hotspur a different twist by making the audience believe the character was near his limit, ready for a mental breakdown. My only disappointment with the Henry play was in the scene with Hotspur and his wife. Lady Percy, played by Jeanne Paulsen. I felt what could have been a protrayal of a warm and loving moment between husband and wife lacked the sparkle the playwright meant it to have. On the whole. "Henry IV part one" was a great acting success, although, I was sorry to see. not a great one in the box office. I've found that very often the festival's best performances can be the history plays, but the majority of festival goers don't know this and shy away from the word "history." Consequently, one can almost always purchase a ticket for a performance that same night. Out of the last two plays we saw, I found Twelfth Night" to be light an amusing. Linda Alper was a witty Viola and Sam Pond captivated the audience as Feste the clown. Two uenuemen 01 verona was my iosi uvunrc m urc four plays we attended. I must be fair in stating that it is also thought to be an early play by Shakespeare and therefore not one of his best. My biggest complaint, however, was with its pace. Something lacked in the timing of the entire performance, which was very evident when comparing it to the other plays offered this summer. Next season the Oregon Shakespearean Festival's program will include: "Comedy of Errors." "Romeo and Juliet," and "Henry V" to be given on the Elizabethan Stage. In the Angus Bowmer Theater will be: "Othello" (spring only), "Julius Caesar," "Inherit the Wind" (spring and fall). "Blithe Spirit," "Spokesong," and "The Male animal" (fall) . In the Black Swan two plays are scheduled so far: "Wings" and "The Father." The Oregon Shakespearean Festival would like to remind playgoers that next year's program is subject to change.

Farmers fight fatigue during harvest season Every farmer knows mach inery and stubborn livestock can be dangerous, but many don't recognize fatigue as an equally important hazard. Long hours of hard labor during peak seasons place a heavy demand on the farmer's physical and mental resources which can lead to fatigue, explains Marcelle Straatman. Oregon State University Ex tension human development specialist. "You can recognize fatigue by temporary reductions in your capacity to react quickly and in short tempers." she notes. "By paying attention to the symptoms, farmers know how much they can expect of themselves, when they're over-loading their productiv ity and what can be done to change the situation." A tired farmer can keep going for a long time by using will power. Eventually, how ever, the body becomes more clumsy, mental distraction begins and emotions become unstable. .When fatigue nib bles at nerves and positive outlook, the personality changes, the specialist points facts! t I & FIGURES j Nuclear power plant op erating capacity outside the United States rose nearly 25 percent in the last two years or so, according to an Atomic Industrial Forum in ternational survey of 42 nuclear-powered nations. pv-vvvv U - h In the United States, we have 74 nuclear plants now operating and 92 under con struction. By 1990, nuclear energy will provide almost one-fourth of the nation's electricity, second only to coal in total output. Outside the United States, the world has more than 70,000 megawatts of in stalled nuclear capacity, the equivalent of 70 one-million kilowatt plants. This will be boosted to nearly 450,000 megawatts when plants that are under construction, on order or planned are com pleted. France alone plans to bring one nuclear reactor into operation every two months, on the average, be tween 1980 and 1985.

A 1979 survey of Iowa farmers found that stress from fatigue usually stems from exertion of a healthy person which leaves muscles exhausted. It also may be a sign of an undetected chronic illness or nervous tension related to frustration, difficult decisions, conflicts, delays or seasonal boredom. A combination of poor health habits 4and demanding work during peak planting and harvest seasons cause a lot of fatigue among farmers. Mrs. Straatman observes. They rush to complete the jobs at hand while cheating themsel ves of needed sleep, practice poor food choices and eating routines, and face emotional upsets connected to the job. Noisy machinery, standing or sitting long hours in poorly ventilated cabs and inade quate lighting increases physi cal fatigue as farmers strain to complete the job. Farmers get less rest than they need to replenish oxyeen supplies and to rebuild muscle strength. Summer heat adds additional strain as bodies work to maintain comfortable body temperatures while sleeping. After a short niaht. many farmers awake feeling they haven't been to bed at all. Most report six or fewer hours of sleep a night. This is on top of the fact that they take less vacation lime away from their work than other groups of workers. In heavy work seasons, farmers tend to grab hurried, unbalanced meals that don't provide adequate nutrition for energy production and body repair. Without sufficient re plenishment, phvsical exer tion wears them out easily.

Hu man chemical and nervous systems don't separate real from imagined threats to survival. Adrenalin tenses the body for action to avoid a tractor accident or to deal with negative emotions such as fear, anger, resentment or apprehension oTer harvesting crops at the proper time. After tension subsides, the farmer is exhausted. Because accidents occur when work is being done, it's not surprising to find that most accidents happen at mid-morning, mid-afternoon or on Saturdays during the months of May and August. As the work day lengthens, the accident rate increases. "Old habits take time and effort to change, but farmers need to he aware of fatigue factors which affect their productivity and safely." she stresses "Itest breaks during mid-morning and mid-after-noon relieve tension. Fating an energy snack restores vitality." Although farmers think they get enough exercise, most of it isn't vigorous enough to raise the pulse rate and bring fresh oxygen to the muscles To overcome this. Mrs. Straatman recommends lim bering up exercises that can delay or reduce fatigue during heavy exertion In the cab. change positions often to avoid the poor circulation that conies from standing or sitting too long in one position If seated, lilt the body off the seat occasionally using only the arms Raising the body up and down every so often activates other muscles Shoulder shrugs relieve upper chest or shoulder tension With hands on the steering wheel, raise shoulders up u hr BLANCHER 7qt 4oz Boil and Drain (Blanch) Any Bulky Food!
