In this, my final article on
the Metric System. I want to
review some of the important
aspects of the system and,
also, bring in other change
facts. There will be a change
in temperature scales when
we convert. We are familiar
with the Fahrenheit Scale
where the boiling point of
water is 212 degrees at sea
level and the freezing point is
32 degrees. On the Celsius
Scale (once called the Centi
grade Scale) the boiling point
is 100 degrees and the
freezing point is zero. A 68
deg F room temerature is 20
deg. C A winter temperature
of 14 deg. F is minus 10 deg
C and a summer temperature
of 104 deg. F is 40 deg. C.
To convert, subtrace 32 from
the Fahrenheit reading, mul
tiply by 5. and divide the
results by 9.
We have learned that a
liter is a volume unit. A
milliliter is one thousandth of
a liter because miili means
one-thousandth. A metric
unit that the medical profes
sion has made us aware of for
years is the cubic centimeter,
symbolized by cc. This is a
volume obtained by having a
cube, one cm wide, one cm
long, and one cm tall.
Multiply the length of the
cube by its width, and then
mulltiplv the results by its
height. Now you have one cc
which is approximately the
volume of a thimble. One cc
is equivalent to one ml. It
takes 1000 mils to equal a
liter and a 1000 cc to equal a
liter.
One of the main points
stressed in science is that a
ml (or a cc) of water weighs
one gram. So a liter (1000 ml)
of water will weigh 1000
grams. Another name for a
thousand grams is a kilogram
(kg) Since a kilogram is
equivalent to 2.2 pounds and
a liter is nearly the same
volume as a quart, then we
know a quart of water weighs
2.2 pounds.
Have you noticed that the
State of Idaho is using both
systems on some of their
regulatory speed signs? If
you divide 55 miles by .6. you
get the 90 km figure that is
being used on the signs.
Do one more exercise with
your metric ruler.
1. Draw a frame that is 7
ems wide and 13 ems tall,
label the comers (starting
clockwise at the upper left):

be flying high this March.
Oregon's Economic
Recovery Picking Up
AU sectors of the economy
improved and all areas of the
state registered gains indica
ting that economic recovery
is picking up momentum and
will continue to do so in 1976.
This is the assessment of
business activity in Oregon
during the fourth quarter
according to U. S. National
Bank's "Oregon Business
Barometer.” a quarterly re
port on the state's economy
prepared by Dr. Edward W.
Reed, senior vice-president
and economist for the state
wide firm.
U. S. Bank's Index of
Business Activity rose shar
ply in December to 164.5. the
sharpest monthly rise in two
years. Several factors were
credited with the fourth
quarter upturn in business
activity: Employment moved
up; the unemployment rate
dropped, weekly wages con-
tiued an upward surge; farm
prices rose, and bank credit
increased.
The recovery is underway,
though cautiously.
Moat
forecasters anticipate an in
crease in the GNP within a
range of 5.5 to 7 percent, a
rate of inflation of 6 to 7
percent and the creation of
around
million new jobs.
The threat of overstimulation
from both Congress and
monetary authorities looms
possible during election year
1976. Fourth quarter 1975
showed a reduced rate in
money supply below an
established goal of 4.5 to 7.5
percent. Overall, the upward
trend in economic activity is
well established, but the rate
of recovery is not yet
assured.

Sen. Bob Smith Files
For Reelection
State Senator Robert F.
Smith of Burns said today he
will be a candidate for
reelection.
The veteran legislator ser
ved in the House of Repre
tentative* from 1961 to 1972
before entering the Senate in
1973. He was Speaker of the
House during the I960 and
1971 sessions.
In determining whether to
seek re-election. Smith caul,
"many of the actions of the
Congress, the State Legisla
ture and the bureaucracy
make me so mad that I am
determined to continue to
fight for the things which
Eastern Oregonians believe.'
Smith
said he is also
concerned about the affect
that bureaucratic rules and
regulations can have on the
economic
climate and
orderly growth of Eastern
Oregon
He cited a number of
agencies whose decisions
could have a negative effect
on the area's economy.
"It is imperative that
someone who knows the
ropes in Salem keep a close
eye on these opcralains.”
said Smith.
“Some of those folks in
Salem have the false imprev
sion that they can ignore the
views and needs of this area,
he said. “I intend to prove
otherwise."
Journal Classified»
Smith said he
would
continue to stress the need
for state government to live
within its means just as
ordinary citizens are required
to do.
"The last two legislatures
have increased state spen
ding by
pet <mrt In ->nh
four years." he said "This is
nothing short of fiscal Ir
responsibility during times of
economic stress."
He said the last legislature
increased tales by a third of a
billion dollars after promising
a hold the line budget and no
increase in taxes.
“1 opposed the tax in
creases and spendthrift sc
hemes tooth and-nail."
Smith said, "and I will
continue to do so."
State government, he said,
should spend its money more
wisely before seeking more of
the taxpayers' hard-earned
dollars.
"We need better govern
ment not more government.”
Smith said.
Smith currently serves as a
member of the Interim
Committee on Judiciary and
on the Trade and Economic
Development Committee
During the last session, he
served as a member of the
