BPA Proposes To Raise Wholesale Power Rates PORTLAND UPI - Bonne ville Power Administration Fri day announced a preliminary proposal or an average in crease in wholesale firm power costs of 8'i per cent. Charles F. Luce, BPA admin istrator, said this would up BPA's revenues from firm pow. or by about $6.5 million in the first year. A revised rate would become effective Dec. 20, 1964. If approved by the Federal Power Commission it would be the first rate change in BPA's 25-year history, he said. "We emphasize that these are preliminary figures," Luce said. "They could be pushed erlher up or down by develop ments in the Northwest power picture. He said the proposed changes were not a simple increase in rates but represented a com pletely new rate structure. Luce said the preliminary fig ures were presented to give customers a chance to analyze the impact of the rates on in dividual operations. Customers of BPA include public and pri vate utilities, municipal utilities, electroprocess industries and other federal agencies. Luce said most of the utilities would be able to absorb an in crease without raising residen tial or commercial rales. This, he said, is because the cost of Four Positions To Stay Yacant SALEM (UPH - State Trea surer Howard Bolton said Fri day he would not fill four vacant positions in his office, but other wise planned no budget reduc tions. ; Tire Finance and Administra ; lion Department cannot cut the treasurer's budget.

"BPA will still sell electric power for less than it can be produced at the new fed eral and nonfederal projects such as Wells, Lower Monu mental and Mossyrock Dams." He also said the rate overhaul should not adversely affect Northwest industrial develop ment. The present BPA basic wholesale rate is the lowest in the nation, he said. Luce said BPA planned to file a new rate with the FPC in January. Meetings to discuss the proposal will be held Nov. 7 in Spokane, Nov. 15 in Burley, Ida ho.

A to 3 years to installation! By W. G. BRANDSTADT. M.D. Newspaper Enterprise Assn. To fast or nqt to fast that is the question a lot of persons are' facing today because they have allowed themselves to become overweight. ' Over the centuries people have fasted for different rea sons. Through fasting, the ad herents of some rfrligious faiths have brought them selves to the point of delirium. Other persons motivated by their religious beliefs have fasted as a pennance for sins. Gandhi used fasting as politi cal weapon with appreciable success, and on at least one oc casion carried it almost to the point of death by starvation. Most modern practitioners, of fobulout value for only $1 1.50 THE DOCTOR SAYS Doctors Don't Advocate Fasting fasting, however, do it for the sule purpose of losing weight. While an absolute fast (going without anything by mouth except water) will result in a rapid loss of weight, such an extreme or heroic measure has little to recommend it. Those who attempt it are usually persons who have lost patience with slower methods or who find that after a half-hearted reduction of food intake on two or three days a week they weigh as much as or more than they did before. In any case, the weight lost is quickly re gained. Dr. Kevin S. Scrimshaw of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology made a study of teen-agers who indulged in par tial fasting -(skipping meals) and found that they lost weight. But at the same time, be cause of failure to get a bal anced diet they lowered their resistance to infectious diseases. This is an especially dangerous way for teen-agers and young adults to do, because that is of ten the w ay tuberculosis gains a foothold. In another study, in which normal volunteers were used, fasting caused a decrease in the alkaline reserve in the blood. This could lead to a type of acidosis. Another result was that the normal nitrogen bal ance between what was ingest ed as protein and what was eliminated in the jweat and urine as u r e a wast distributed. Nitrogen was lost and this can slow the healing of wounds or the recovery from any disease. Otlier constituents of the blood to be lost while fasting are sodium, calcium and "glucose. The sugar stored in the liver is released to the blood and thus rapidly depleted. For these reasons nutritionists today do not recommend fast ing. All the evidence points to the benefits of an adequate well balanced diet with all the essen tial elements in quantities suffi cient to maintain normal weight. Anyone who insists on a pe riod of fasting should consult Ms family doctor who will take into consideration the subject's general health, bis present weight for his height, the rea sons why a fast is desired, the type of fast (partial or com plete, the length of the fasting period and the anticipated ex tent of activity during the pe riod.

FIRE DESTROYS COTTON HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss.. (UPI) Fire destroyed $1 mil lion worth of cotton on a train Thursday and then was swept by strong winds into the Holly Springs National Forest. The flames leaped to the 50O cotton bales on five flat cars from grass fires along the railroad tracks. Fires also de stroyed an old church building and one under construction at the community of Hickory Flat. with the individual, the doctor would in all probability try to dissuade the patient in favor of a more rational approach to the problem. Stale Republican Chairman Bill'Burkett said the contest winner will receive a $50 bond. "Just two weeks before the 192 elections President Ken nedy suddenly discovered t h e presence of Russian missiles in Cuba, the same missiles that Senator Keating of New York had been talking about for sev eral months," 'Burkett said. "We think there will lie a similar crisis just before the 1964 elections," he said. Predictors should address their letters to "Crisis Editor," Republican Slate Committee, 1.100 N. Broadway, Oklahoma City, Burkett said. The letters will be opened Nov. 1, 14, just before the election. amxltoitiese it WW, ip Petti Pants ' Ml Sizes 4-U, I CA y&.L'til i ft white nylon I .3U (HV V I" J J.
