MEDIC AL SUPPLIES have started to arrive and the staff
of the Nyssa Service Center Health Clinic started this week
to help individuals with medical problems.
Dr. David Sarazin is the clinic's supervisor and Colleen
Wilks is the clinic's nurse. Also, Anna Torres is working as
the clinic's receptionist, (insert).
Commerce types. City Fathers
to date are less then totally
enthusiastic, They fear con-
«(ruction of the Forum would
complicate already crowded
parking conditions In the area
surrounding Hie Capitol andad-
jacent Willamette University.
Although the project does not
include additional parking faci
lities, proponents discount such
fears by pointing out the legis
lative hearing facility likely
won't attract many more people
than now jam every nook and
cranny of the Capitol for hear
ings. Furthermore, they point
out, other events the Forum
would be used for would attract
crowds mostly during evening
hours and periods when parking
spaces are not at a premium.
From a cost standpoint,erec
tion if
that’s
the correct
term--of Hie Capitol Forum ap
pears surprisingly economical.
Planners figure It wouldcontam
a total of 63,462 square feet.
Inai compares with 131,750
square feet of space on four
levels of the Capitol itself.
Projected cost of the Forum
is $2,859,600--compared with
approximately $2.5
million
spent to construct the Capitol
back in 1936-38. Obtaining a
structure nearly half the size
of the Capitol 35 years later
for slightly more than the cost
of that original building seems
like a bargain to most.
Going underground apparently
has advantages in tins instance.
Planners say they avoid the cost
of facing the new structure with
matching marble, for instance,
that would have to be trans
ported many miles. Air-con
ditioning a sub-surface build
ing is supposed to be less ex
pensive. Builders wouldn’t have
to contend with windowsandex
terior maintenance would be
avoided completely.
Erected when the state was
home to about one million re
sidents, the present Capitol
Building does suffer from over
crowding. As the state's popu
lation has more than doubled,
legislative procedures have be
come that much more complex.
The present Capitol has'been
undergoing extensive remodel
ing to satisfy new space de
mands almost steadily since the
mid-Sixties. And provisions for
hearings
in the new Forum
likely will forestall major chan
ges and shifting of present te
nants for a while at least.
So if the Emergency Board
approves funding and if a con
tractor can build the thing for
the amount appropriated, the
Legislature will go underground
in a couple of years. If things
go according to plan, comple
tion could be achieved in March
of 1975.
The 58th Legislature is sche
duled to convene on January 13
that year. Barring possible con
struction-worker strikes, ma
terial shortages and other non
scheduled occurrences, law
makers may get to finish that
biennial regular session in
relatively cavernous comfort.

ANSWER: Luck of insulation
on the conductors in a televi
sion set can allow voltage to
build up to dangerous levels,
causing short-circuits and fires.
The reason color TV sets are
more dangerous tat a ratio of
40 to 1. according to the Na
tional Commission on Public
Safety estimates) is because
they
require
far
greater
amounts of power. It is esti
mated TV sets cause more than
7.000 tires a year. When this
<luta was published in 1970 by
the National Commission on
Public Safety, the Electronic
Industries Assn. launched a
crash program to upgrade its
safety standards. The Commis
sion has done no further studies
since 1970.
KEEP THCJ6E RECORDS. One
of the family financial records
that should be kept indefinitely
for income tax purposes is how
much you pay for your house
and costs of the major improve
ment you make on it. You will
need this to establish your cost
basis when you sell the house.
This is true even though you
buy or build another house cost
ing as much or more and defer
payment of taxes on the gains.

APPLIANCES IN NEW HOUSE
There are several ways to pay
for appliances for your new
house, In addition to paying
cash. You might use install
ment credit, or buy the appli
ances from the builder and make
the payments a part of the home
loan. The amount you pay for
your appliances will depend on
the payment plan you choose, so
it
is important to compare
costs.
If you buy through your
builder, you might get a dis
count on the appliances, but
consider this: You will be pay
ing for the equipment over the
length of the home loan. Even
with the discount and a lower
rate of interest than install
ment credit, you may end up
paying more dollars for the
equipment.

New Veterans Benefits
Are Now Available
Two new veterans benefits,
part of the National Cemetery
Act approved by the President,
become effective this month and
in September, according to
Henry G. Helmstetter, acting
director
of the
Veterans
Administration regional office
in Portland.
For veterans who died on Au
gust 1, 1973, or after, the VA
can pay a plot or internment
allowance of $150 in addition
to the $250 maximum already
authorized.
Starting September 1, pay
ment of funeral expenses up to
$800 is authorized for vete
rans who die of service con
nected causes.
Helmstetter pointed out that
VA has for some time paid
allowances to funeral directors
or other persons who bore ve
terans' burial expenses, pro
vided claims were filed within
two years of permanent burial
or cremation.
The agency also pays trans-
portation costs of veterans
whose death occurs in its hos
pitals or domiciliaries, or who
die while hospitalized or being
treated at the agency's expense.

Salem Scene
by Jack 7immer>nm
The Oregon legislature is
planning to go underground in
1975.
Despite metaphorical over
tones, the event Is not intended
as a subterfuge to avoid com
pliance with the new open meet
ing law.
On the contrary, completion
of the Capitol Forum--a multi
use structure which may be sunk
in Willson Park west of the
Capitol Building--Is specifi
cally designed to make workings
of the legislature more visible
and open to the public than ever
before.
Actually, the two-level un
derground building would serve
two practical purposes. It would
create a complex of hearing
rooms for use by legislative
committees and others. And it
would make space in the Ca
pitol Building now devoted to
hearing rooms available for ad
ditional legislative offices.
Credit for the concept likely
will go to House Speaker Dick
Eymann
(D-Springfield), who
served on an ad hoc Capital
Mall development committee
during Die 1971-73 Interim. As
the story goes, Eymann stood
at the Capitol’s west enframe
pondering the building's space
problems. In a tableau not un
like that reminiscent of Balboa
surveying the Pacific from the
Isthmus of Panama, he sud
denly discovered Willson Park
and on the spot proposed a sub
surface Capitol expansion.
Since then the idea has met
with favor generally, been sub
mitted to an architectural firm,
plans and models drawn and
created and could be about a
half-step from realty. Meeting
in the Capitol this week is the
State Emergency
Board, the
legislative tx>dy charged with
finding
fiscal
solutions to
monetary problems of state
government when the Legis
lature Is not in session. The
Capitol
Forum
is on the
E-Board meeting’s agenda and
the 1973 Legislature earmarked
funds sufficient to pay for the
project if it appears feasible.
With Eymann serving as co-
chairman of the Emergency
Board and legislative accep
tance being what It is, odds are
the Capitol Forum could be
funded this week
From a feasibility standpoint,
proponents are extremely ex
cited about the project. Located
approximately 400 feet west of
the Capitol Building, It would
be linked to that structure by
tunnels and also be accessible
from the surface of Willson
Park. The park settine would he
relatively undisturbedexcept by
a gently rising hillock, dubbed
in Salem as the Indian Mound.
It would seat a total of 1,730
persons--900 of which could be
seated in a single large audi
torium amply equipped to also
accommodate theatrical pro
ductions, movies, lectures, con
ventions and other types of pub
lic meetings. Other smaller
meeting rooms--six altoge-
ther--would seat from 120 to
160 people.
An inner two-level foyer is
described as id**al for exhibits
and kitchen-type facilities are
planned on both levels for the
dispensing of food and beve
rages during recesses, lun
ches, dinners, tails and public
dances.
Portland Architects Wilm-,
sen, Endicott, Greene, Bern-
hard and Associates point out
the structure would be a boon
for the Salem community by
providing an exceptional con
vention and meeting center when
not In use by the Legislature.
And while this aspect of the
project Intrigues Chamber of
