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

'Ws matters, now stand, the

Luce said. "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

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

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. Although . these would vary
