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

25 percent in the last two
years or so, according to an

nations.

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.

Emotional upsets is another
important fatigue factor. 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.
