! "WHAT A LONG WAY to go to donate blood!" SP4 Dennis Ferguson, 624 Cedar, Shelton, must have had these thoughts as he donated blood Saturday in Portland. Specialist Ferguson is a member of 2nd Battallion, 218th Artillery, 41st Infantry Brigade, Oregon National Guard, and until his transfer to the Washington National Guard is complete, drills with his old unit in Portland. The nurse is Miss Janine Timmen, of the American Red Cross Blood Bank in Portland. A major step in educating this state's students to the problems of misuse of drugs and narcotics has been taken by State Supt. Louis Bruno. Carl Nickerson, health curriculum associate for the Ellensburg Public Schools, has been hired on a one-year contract to develop and administer a statewide model drug-abuse education program. Nickerson's work will include the development and publication of appropriate materials and programs in the area of drug control, to be used in school districts by students, teachers and school administrative personnel, Bruno said. Nickerson also will provide related inservice education so educators will be readily able to advise students on the harmful effects of drugs and narcotics. "Few teachers are equipped to discuss the issue, and teaching materials are either obsolete or of poor quality," Bruno said. A special allocation of $40,200 was made available to Supt. Bruno by Governor Evans from his emergency fund. The new position in the state school office follows a priority recommendation by the Governor's Drug Abuse Task Force Report. The Task Force had pointed out that "teachers must have a rive Washington State Heart Association, which this month makes its annual Heart Fund appeal, devotes nearly 40 per cent of its budget to research and 15 percent to professional education. Cardiovascular disease is a common problem. Women who suffer varicose veins during pregnancy have a variety of cardiovascular disease - a circulatory malady. The Heart Fund is investing in research that may help prevent this uncomfortable and ultimately serious complication. Heart Fund dollars are being used in this state to perfect new drugs,notably one which will offsetlowered blood pressure duringshock experienced in surgery and another intended to help correct irregular heart beat without the unpleasant side-effects of drugs now in use. More than 1,000 nurses and doctors in this state attend free classes supported by Heart Fund dollars. In these classes they learn new developments in heart patient care, how to use new instruments perfected since they were in school, how to select the proper drugs for each patient and how to give other therapy that will speed recovery. Many of the nurses who staff the new coronary care units which most large and many small hospitals have in this state learned their skills at classes offered by Washington State Heart Association. an thorough knowledge of the interrelationships of drugs, the individual and society." The report also emphasized that "every effort should be made to maximize the involvement of students and parents throughout the process." The Governor has said he plans to seek a more comprehensive program in the 197 1-73 biennium to further alleviate drug abuse in the state. "As other state agencies develop programs to carry out their particular responsibilities in this area," Bruno said, "we'll cooperate to the fullest extent possible. We expect to work very closely with the new Health Social esearc New doctors entering practice have benefitted from public contributions to the Heart Fund. The Heart Association pays the entire salaries of two heart specialists on the faculty of this state's only medical school at the University of Washington. Residents of this area may make their investment in better health care by giving to the volunteer who calls during Heart Month.

An exciting, intimate andpersonal account of The Everest Adventure was given to the students and faculty. W.A.S.A. District Supt. John Pill attended a statewide committee meeting of Intermediate and School District Organization of the Washington Association of School Administrators. The meeting was held in the conference room of State Superintendent Louis Bruno. One major revision was the recommendation to WASA to drop the organization's stand on mandating consolidation of all non-high's by 1973. Instead, a carrot approach will be developed which will be voluntary, and will include financial assistance. A more equitable approach for non-highs to support their students attending high schools was also discussed. which is the major source of property taxes, was assessed at 18.6 per cent, and personal property, a much smaller part, at 24.2 per cent. - In all but nine counties, the 1969 assessment level was lower on real property than personal. - About 45 per cent of all real property has an assessed value of less than $1,000. - Higher valued properties are assessed higher than lower valued properties. The state study ts unique m its use of state property appraisals to supplement sales data in arriving at true market values, and in the application of trend data to update the assessment ratios. Also, for the first time, all types and values of real property were considered in each county. The findings will have a substantial impact on local government tax receipts. Affected in 1970 will be the computation of the state's 4-mill property tax levy for schools and public assistance, distribution of state gasoline taxes to counties, distribution of state funds to school districts, and other programs. Most assessors are placing a 25 per cent assessed value on their current work. However, because of substantial increases in market value and the difficulties of adhering to the statutory four-year revaluation cycle, the average level is only 19.5 per cent. As the counties are able to revalue property on a more current basis, the average level will increase. For each I per cent increase in the statewide level, a potential $12 million per year could be generated by local taxing districts within their statutorily authorized millage. Under instructions from the Department of Revenue issued in 1969, all assessors will be adjusting the assessed values on their rolls to 50 per cent of true market value in 1970. This ratio will apply to property taxes ,-,~ll~ted in 1971. isn't it?
