Acute health problems, primarily infections and injuries, accounted for 45 percent of the visits, Other reasons, in addition to reproductive health care, included immunizations, physical exams and blood pressure screening. Reproductive health care included consultation and treatment for menstrual disorders, pregnancy tests, birth control information and prescriptions, prenatal care, postpartum care, and diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases. Of the 43 prescriptions for contraceptives, 18 students received prescriptions for the first time.

The other 25 sought new prescriptions for a contraception method initially prescribed by another health-care source. All of the students who were given prescriptions had been sexually active before coming to the clinic.

A breakdown on use of the clinic is contained in a report by the Multnomah County Health Division, which operates the center with the Portland School District.

Coast Guard ends search for 5 on boat NORTH BEND (AP) The Coattt Guard has suspended its search for five people aboard a shrimp boat missing off the Oregon coast for more than a week. Dense fog forced the Coast Guard to curtail the air-sea search for the HO-foot, Astoria-based Liebling on Saturday, and the search was suspended indefinitely that night, officials said.

Missing are the boat's skipper, Dale Dixson, 40, of Hammond; his three sons, Rusty, 18; Jason, 15; and Caleb, 8, all of Crescent City, and crewman Mike Goergen, 26, of Brookings. The vessel was last seen Aug. 28 off the southern Oregon coast. The Coast Guard abandoned its search after 4 Mi days, but resumed it Saturday after family members said Dixson may have been fishing farther south than the original search area. Portland issues alert for Dutch elm disease PORTLAND (AP) The city of Portland has issued a Dutch elm disease alert after learning that two American elms in a northwest neighborhood were infested with the potentially devastating fungus.

The trees were removed by Bureau of Parks and Recreation workers and buried in the St. Johns Landfill. Bureau officials planned to test all other elms within a three-block radius to determine whether the disease had spread. A visual survey of all 5,000 elms in the city is set to begin today. Other cities, especially in the East and Midwest, have lost virtually all their elm trees after the fungus, carried by the European bark beetle, established a foothold, according to City Forester Alex Wynstra.

He said there is no evidence that an outbreak of Dutch elm disease earlier this summer in Eugene has spread to Portland. At least a dozen trees in Eugene were affected.

Pacific NW Bell adds to equal access lines PORTLAND (AP) Pacific Northwest Bell had made equal access long distance telephone service available to nearly 2 million lines through 104 central offices in Oregon and Washington.

That leaves about 750,000 lines, mostly in Washington, that the company has yet to convert, John Unverfeth, a Northwest Bell spokesman, said. The conversion is part of the change brought about by the separation of American Telephone Telegraph which provides long-distance telephone service, and the regional Bell telephone companies. Equal access means customers can use and dial the long-distance carrier of their choice by simply dialing 1 rather than a string of numbers for any other carrier than About 80 percent of Oregon customers have equal access.

Crew of freighter given wage increase VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) Chilean crew members of a Greek-registered freighter who went on strike in Vancouver harbor a week ago have won wage increases of up to 50 percent and improvements in living conditions on board, the Chilean consul general said.

Joaquin Grubner said the Chileans give strong credit to Vancouver unions for helping settle the strike on favorable terms for them. The crew members have rejoined the freighter Dias, which set sail early Friday, and are on their way to their next port of call in Mexico with a cargo of grain and potash. The dispute between the 11 -member Chilean crew and the ship's owners had been simmering for months, but they waited until they reached Vancouver before striking. As soon as they arrived here, they contacted the International Transport Workers Federation, which got them a lawyer, helped organize a picket line and arranged hotel accommodations for the strikers.
