The following guidelines for safe
bicycling are compiled by the
Oregon State Department of Motor
Vehicles, and are passed along to
parents of young bike riders ;

Future Status
Of Air Agency
Two officials of Columbia-Wil
lamette Air Pollution Authority
June 19 issued what they termed a
clarification of details concerning
the a ir pollution agency’s present
and future status
The two. CWAPA Board Chair
man Fred Stefani,
Clackamas
County Commissioner, and Richard
E Hatchard, CWAPA Program
Director, said that a rash of articles
and editorials appearing in various
media the last two weeks have led
to confusion in the minds of the
public, and that it is to the best
interests of air pollution control that
facts be given equal time.
According to Stefani. reports con
tinue to characterize Portland's and
Multnomah County’s decision to
contribute an additional $11.250
each as funding to replace Washing
ton County’s unpaid contribution.
"This is not true ." said Stefani.
"Washington County no longer
figures in our budget, except as a
contingency. The figure of $22,500 is
made up of contributions normally
coming from Clackamas and Co
lumbia counties, figured on a per
capita basis This sum amounts to
$19.287 from Clackamas County.
$3,249 from Columbia County, for
the total of. roughly. $22,500,” he
added
“ The significant action of addi
tional funding by Multnomah Coun
ty and Portland means that the
regional a ir authority may operate
for another year. Such operation
follows the adoption of the opera
ting budget of $555.570 by the board
at its June 15 meeting These ac
tions by-pass the tiresome theme of
Washington County’s financial par
ticipation although CWAPA w ill
still service Washington County as
part of the original statutory re
quirement.
"In the coming year we w ill
address ourselves to correcting this
situation and. perhaps, the Depart
ment of Environmental Quality w ill
see its way clear to assisting us by
not continuing to play on variations
of ‘can a county be forced to stay in
a regional agency,’ ” Stefani con
cluded
Hatchard said that the agency's
difficulties are not only compound
ed but “ probably began when the
federal arm ol pollution control, the
Environmental Protection Agency,
signified its approval of doing away
with local control by showing its
preference to deal with one state
agency rather than a number of
regional agencies within a state.”
The CW APA program director
said that there is a considerable
amount of concern now, nationally,
from local governments as to whe
ther EPA’s change of attitude is in
the best interests of pollution con
trol.
He noted that resistance to the
EPA stand is stiffening, and cited a
special meeting June 27 at an Air
Pollution Control Association ses
sion in Chicago where such resis
tance w ill be a paramount issue of
discussion
" I t is this combined thrust of
state and federal control agencies
which works against the viable,
strong regional control authorities
which both publicly praise but
privately work to phase out of exis
tence,” Hatchard said "And as is
usual, in the final analysis the
people of the region w ill get as
much and as local control of pol
lution as they, themselves, desire ”
Foster said, "We have admitted
13 new patients to our dialysis
program since the beginning of
1973 This,” he explained, "is a
larger number ol pulients tnan have
lieen added in previous years, an
average of more than two new pa
tients per month Prior to 1973 KAO
had been admitting an average of
about one new patient each month."
Non-profit KAO provides a rtifi
cial kidney machines, treatment,
training and medical supplies to its
patients and is financed principally
from public donations.
