lone man re-elected as
treasurer of O.S.G.A.
Henry Krebs of lone was
re-elected as treasurer of the
Oregon Sheep Growers Asso
ciation at an annual, meeting
in Portland. An association
spokesperson reported that all
1982 officers were re-elected to
1983 positions.
Nearly 200 members of the
association attended the an
nual meeting, held December
3 and 4. Lamb and wool
marketing techniques were
major topics of discussion and
18 resolutions were adopted,
the spokesperson said.
Dorothy H. Mann, regional
health administrator for the
U.S. Public Health Service in
Seattle. Wash, is urging older
Americans and their families
to take precautions to avoid
accidental hypothermia, a
condition in which the body's
internal temperature drops to
95 degrees F. or lower. Hypo
thermia can be fatal if not
detected and treated
promptly.
"Those of us in the Pacific
Northwest states can be par
ticularly susceptible to acci
dental hypothermia because
of the extreme low tempera
tures in many areas of the
Northwest. Although we have
no accurate date on the num
ber of people who die from
hypothermia, we do know that
the elderly probably account
for more than half of the
victims. Infants are also at
risk." Mann said.
"Dr.C. Everett Koop. M.D.,
surgeon general for the U.S.
Public Health Service has
issued the following warning
and precautionary sugges
tions and I urge our Northwest
citizens to pay particular at
tention to the signs of hypo
thermia and note the sugges
ted treatment." Mann also
said a limited number of
copies of the booklet "A Win
ter Hazard for the Old: Acci
dental Hypothermia' are
available from her office in

"Acain this winter," Dr.
Koop said, '"cold outdoor
temperatures may mean that
many elderly Americans will
be exposed to indoor tempera
tures so low that they pose a
threat to their health. Even
mildly cold temperatures of 60
to 65 degrees can be danger
ous." People respond differently
to extremes of heat and cold,
depending on their age and
health. The elderly are parti
cularly vulnerable to cold,
especially those who have dis
eases that limit activity, men
tal awareness or circulation,
or who are taking certain
types of drugs, such as pheno
thiazines. that are used to
treat anxiety, agitation and
nausea, he said.
At highest risk are the rela
tively small number of aged
persons who, for unknown
reasons, can neither feel cold
nor shiver and thus cannot
produce body heat when they
need it.
Anyone who suspects hypo
thermia in a person of any age
should get emergency medical
help at once. Koop said. Siens
of hypothermia to watch for
are: an unusual change in
appearance or behavior dur
ing cold weather: slow, some
times irregular heartbeat:
slurred speech: shallow, very
slow breathing: sluggishness;
and confusion.
Dr. Koop offers the follow
ing suggestions:
While waiting for medical
care, wrap the victim in a
warm blanket, give him or her
small quantities of warm food
and non-alcoholic drink if the
victim is alert: use hot water
bottles or electric heating
pads on the abdomen. How
ever, never set an electric
blanket or pad at high tem
perature Do not rub the body.
Do not place the victim in hot
water as rapid reheating of
the body is dangerous.
Chances of full recovery
from hypothermia depend on
the severity and length of
exposure to the cold as well as
