Egeberg, HEW’s Assistant Secretary for Health and Scientific Affairs. He de cided to quit smoking and sub stitute another harmless habit instead. He still wanted to chew or finger something. Dr. Egeberg, he says, re membered that some Middle Easterners carry amber beads which they finger from time to time. “But I couldn’t afford amber, and cheap beads didn’t feel right,” he says. “I cast about and finally found just the thing--a .45 caliber bullet. I carried it in my jacket and when the urge to smoke a cigarette came, I’d finger the bullet. Of course, I wound up the day with black fingers.” So far, not too offbeat. But hang on. “If the urge to smoke got really strong,” he says, “I’d put the bullet in my mouth. Then I’d realize that the damn thing might explode and blow my skull off.” Not a very cool way to blow your mind. “That was usually enough to keep down the urge for two or three hours. And in about three weeks I was cured.” Dr. Egeberg picked a hazar dous way to quit. A way not recommended by anyone. But sticking with cigarettes PACKWOOD TO SPONSOR BILL TO ESTABUSH COASTAL ZONE UNIT Senator Bob Packwood (R- Ore.) said today he is co-spon soring legislation which will es tablish a coastal zone manage ment program. Called “The Coastal 7one Management Act of 1970,” the legislation is designed to pro vide for more effective use of the nation’s coastline. ‘‘When I think of Oregon’s beauty, I immediately think of the Oregon coast,” Packwood said. “I want that beautiful area to be given every con sideration so that it may re main as untarnished as possible. ‘‘The rapidly intensifying use of coastal areas already has outrun the capabilities of local governments. We must pro- vide for a management program which will result in coordinated future development of our coas tal area.” The bill provides: — That up to 50 percent of cost grants to designated state coastal authorities for the de velopment and three-year op eration of coastal zone manage ment programs. --Establishment of a special “Marine Resources Fund” in the Treasury and provides for an annual $125 million deposit using funds obtained from off shore oil revenues. --Authorities joint federal- state estuarine sanctuaries to create natural field laboratories for long-run studies. --Provides that new federal projects within a state’s coas tal zone approved by either the designated state coastal autho rity or Marine ScienceCouncil/ ********* Members of the FFA are stu dents of vocational agriculture in high school. ********** can be even more hazardous.
