The students live with an American family practicing English and learning our way of life and culture. The El Salvadorians arrive Novem ber 17 and return home January 20. From Nicaragua and Costa Rica the students arrive December 1 and return home February 10. Intercambio, an interna tional cultural exchange pro gram, aims to provide young people an opportunity to understand one anotiter's cultures. Founded in Mexico (1959) by Rt. Rev. Placid Reitmeier, an American Be nedictine priest, it is legally constituted with a lay board of directors. Central office personnel in Mexico City are assisted by volunteer couples •in Central America, Mexico, Canada and the United States who coordinate the wort locally, interview families and select students according to age. sex and comparable interests of host brothers and sisters. Students are sponsored by their own families or civic groups u> their own countries- Thank You Mr. Buyer For Making The Junior Livestock Sale A Success Malheur County 4-H Clubs and FFA Chapter take this opportunity to express their appre ciation to merchants and individuals who mode their Junior Fat Stock Sale such a success.

So says a preliminary report prepared for Idaho Power Company by the environmental sciences divi sion of Stearns-Roger, Inc., Denver, and now on file with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission. The report, assuming a 500-megawatt, scrubber- equipped plant with a 600- foot stack and fired by low-sulfur Wyoming coal, makes these conclusions about the plant's emissions of the best-known pollut ants: Sulfur-dioxide (SO2)-The estimated maximum 24-hour concentration would be 13.3 micrograms per cubic meter, or only 13% of the toughest standard of 100 micrograms. Nitrogen oxides (NOX)-- The estimated annual con centration would be 0.8 micrograms per cubic meter, or only 0.3% of the toughest standard of 100 micrograms. Particulates-The estima ted maximum 24-hour con centration would be 1.4 mic- □¡rams per cubic meter, or y 5% of the toughest standard of 30 micrograms. Fluorides-The estimated maximum monthly concen tration would be 0.006 micro grams per cubic meter, or only 0.1% of the Idaho standard of 5.8 micrograms. The report said the plant’s emissions of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and photo chemical oxidants, whose pri mary measurable consitiuent is ozone, would be "negli gible.” Lower temperatures result ing from a scrubber would condense such trace ele ments as mercury, arsenic, lead and cadmium, with their particles or droplets also being collected in the precipi tator. Dr. . Louis York, Stearns- Roger chief environmental scientist, said in comment ing on the report that ground level concentrations are the "only relevant data” that should be used in evaluating the risk to humans, animals and vegetation from coal- fired plant emissions. ____ "It’s at ground level that people breathe and animals and vegetation are located-- not in the upper atmosphere where gases from a plant’s tall stack are diffused and dispersed as they mix into millions of tons of air." The 63-page report is based on data from the National Weather Service and U.S. Air Force weather stations and from sophisti cated Instruments on meteor ological towers at each of the three sites-American Falls, Bliss and Sid's Croesing- Idaho Power has suggested for possible location of a coal- fired plant. Stearns-Roger computed the ground-level concentra tion estimates from the data with disperaion modeling methods develooed bv the Federal Environmental Pro tection Agency. York, who recently dis cussed the proposed plant’s environmental impact at pub lic meetings in Gooding, Sho shone and American Falla, described the report as "part of a package" of information intended to help the PUC determine a plant site. He said Stearns-Roger is preparing several other re ports, including one on water chemistry and another on vegetation and animals in the three potential site areas. Pogo Seven GRANGE YOUR NEWS GARDEN Oregon Trail Grange Oregon Trail Grange mem bers met in regular session Thursday evening, Septem ber 15, with Master Harold Kurtz presiding. Don Somers reported for the Agriculture Chairman and called attention to articles in the Gate City Journal about the sale of wheat and corn to the Soviet Union and to the Peoples Republic of China as the world’s largest wheat buyers. Grange Master Kurtz led a discussion about the law con cerning the 160-acre per person limit on land served by government water supply. Frank Sherwood and Loyd Adams gave some interesting 1928 history of the Owyhee Ditch Company. Sherwood served as a member of the Board of Directors for the Ditch Company for over 30 years. CWA chairman Lois Boe- nig reminded Grange women that the first Club meeting of the year will be held Tuesday, October 4. at 2 p.m. at the home of Thelma Parr with Orma Cleaver as co hostess. All Grange women are urged to attend. Refreshments were served by Marguerite King and Marguerite Moss. The next regular Grange meeting will be held Thursday evening October 6, 8:30 p.m. Eastern Star Star dusters met Sep tember 12 at Beatrice Gross nick le’s home. After a short business meeting the group adjourned to crack walnuts to put in carrot pudding to be sold at the Mini Bazaar in December Delicious refreshments were served by our hostess and her co-hostess Vera Webb. The next meeting will be October 10 at the home of if Gloria Smith. A harvest of wormy apples and pears awaits home gardeners who fail to spray their fruit trees repeatedly to control the codling moth. The adult moth has a wing- spread of about •/« inch. Its front wings are brownish gray with a bronze band at the tip, according to Duane Hatch, Oregon State Univer sity Extension home garden ing coordinator. Except on the Oregon coast, where the weather is too cool, the codling moth is now laying eggs on the leaves and young fruit of apple and pear trees. When the eggs hatch, the white to pink larvae enter the fruit. A spray of diazinon or sevin, used according to label directions, should be re peated every two to three weeks to destroy the moth and the larvae. Observe the recommended interval on the label for the last spraying before harvest. Hatch ad vises. There is no need to worry about the early blossoms that emerge on cucumbers, and squash and then fall off before setting any fruit. "Cucumbers and squash often have an abundance of male flowers that bloom and die before the female blossoms appear." says Du ane Hatch, Oregon State University Extension home gardening coordinator. Female blossoms with small cucumbers or squash at their bases will appear later and fruit production will proceed normally. Sometimes female blos soms on squash will bloom before the male flowers. The early female flowers will dry up. or produce small fruits that die and then rot. This is a natural, self-prun ing process, it will allow for better fruit development later Hatch notes. If the female blossoms fade away at the height of the growing season, however, it is likely that bee activity is not sufficient to pollenize them. "Inadequate pollenization ia often a problem in the central areas of large cities,” says Hatch. Apartment dwellers grow ing container gardens are advised to do what they can to encourage bee activity. This includes careful use of insecticides, especially sevin. which is highly toxic to bees. Activities In Arcadie Capitol Guides report a total of 43,143 visitors during the first six months of the year--a figure nearly equal- ling the record 43,463 visitors during the same period in 1971. That session often is described as the one during which the people discovered the Legislature. The telephone callers tak ing advantage of the Legis lative Information Service exceeded 50,000 - jamming lines with as many as 592 calls on the busiest day and exceeding 500 calls for days on end as the session neared adjournment. The weight of such scrut iny can’t help but attract attention among politicians whose tenure depends upon the electorate’s will every two or four years. So although the 1977 Legislature succeeded in shrugging off early com- plaints about expanded space in the Capitol wings, colorful furnishings and modernistic art objects--other criticism likely will provoke introspec tive study in the months ahead. Some members already sense a mood among the people about government that seems to reflect a growing attitude that more isn’t necessarily better.
