For some it could be a certain food, cologne, fabric or insect repellent. However, according to Dr. Richard Flaiz of Hermiston, most individuals suffer from what goes up their nose, in the form of pollens and molds. Sitting in his office at the Good Shepherd Med- ical Center, Dr. Flaiz and his allergy nurse, Sarah Zwiefelhofer, R.N., explain that they have begun a multi-year proj- ect that should give Herm- iston-area allergy suffer- ers a fighting chance in the battle against the sneeze, wheeze, drip and cough of airborn allergens. While no one can com- pletely shield themselves from all sources of aller- gies, Zwiefelhofer states that their present project will give locals an idea of what is blooming in the area so they can take pre- cautions. The apparatus the duo is using to make their study is located near the hospital and in essence is a small wind gauge that traps all passing particles and funnels them onto a small, adhesive glass rod. Once each day, Zwiefel- hofer lowers the mech- anism from its perch, removes the rod and puts it under a microscope to determine what molds and pollens are blowing around in the area. As a service to the residents of northeast- ern Oregon, Dr. Flaiz will be issuing a pollen and mold report every week on the front page of the Herm- iston Herald. • One of the long-stand- ing arguments between the proponents of sport hunt- ing and the animal rights extremists may be tak- ing on a new twist in the future, a twist that almost borders on the comedic. For eons, hunters, biol- ogists and wildlife manag- ers have argued that sport hunting is the most natu- ral, efficient and logical management tool for keep- ing certain wildlife pop- ulations (such as deer) in check. The animal right- ists, on the other hand, have long tried to sway public opinion away from this, preaching that the more labor-intensive and costly trap-and-relocate methods are the most acceptable. Now they’re touting an even more bizarre solution: birth control for animals. While still an exper- imental concept, hav- ing not been approved or put through vigorous test- ing by the Food and Drug Administration, animal rights advocates believe a new technology involving “immunocontraceptives” could be a viable alterna- tive to hunting everywhere. to celebrate these wonder- ful educators who are mak- ing a difference every day for students,” said Michele Madril, IMESD director of communication.

The word was received by her par- ents at Ontario where Miss Luehrs had gone to visit for the weekend.

Your Family Deserves The MOFE HD CHANNELS, FASTEF INTEFNET AND UNLIMITED VOICE. 125+ CHANNELS Next week will be a busy one in the lives of Hermis- ton high school seniors who will complete four years of study, climaxed by receiv- ing their diplomas Thurs- day night. A total of 25 seniors will conclude their high school days, to enter new fields of endeavor which at the present time are none too bright. Graduation exercises will be held Thursday eve- ning, May 20, beginning at 8 p.m. The program will be opened by the processional by the high school band, followed by the invocation, and a musical selection by the chorus.

K. Dean, vice presi- dent; James Smith, sec- retary-treasurer; and Sam Oldaker, advisory member, broke all the rules of the organization Thursday eve- ning by being hosts to all the local school teachers of the female persuasion at a sumptuous turkey dinner at the Hotel Hermiston. We do not know as yet what the outcome will be, but some fear is felt that the club will lose its hon- ored president and vice president. •When the American steamship Kansan was sunk some time ago by a German submarine it had on board a great quantity of masks, gloves, baseballs and bats for the United States troops in France, all of which went to the bottom of the sea with the ill-fated ves- sel, thus depriving the boys “over there” from indulging in the national game. Now, however, popu- lar subscription is mak- ing it possible for the send- ing of another cargo of the paraphernalia to the sol- dier boys, and in this mat- ter Hermiston is doing her share. The little drive for this cause was handled by William Shaar, who was commissioned to do the work, and in the three or four days he has been solic- iting subscriptions he has raised quite a neat little sum. 89 97 $ from /mo each for 12 mos when bundled* /mo.
