Labor, Consumer Groups Score Applegate High marks on their ratings schemes. Applegate also won high grades from the teachers and senior citizens groups, but with farmers, he scored only a passing mark with a 50. Each group examined issues of special importance to their members and scored a congressman on a scale of zero to 100 according to how he voted on that issue. That same issue was often viewed differently by the groups. For example the U.S.

Chamber of Commerce endorsed the 1981 Farm Bill and gave a plus to members who voted for it, while the National Farmers Union opposed it and downgraded those who voted for the farm bill. Here is a rundown on the ten special in By The Tribune Washington Bureau WASHINGTON Rep. Douglas Applegate, D-Steubenville, gets top scores from organized labor and consumer groups in the latest congressional ratings but mixed reviews from the liberals and conservatives. Applegate, 54, a realtor, represents the 18th congressional district of which Coshocton County becomes a part in 1983 under a redistricting plan passed recently. The three-term congressman, who has a conservative voting record on most social and economic issues, was rated by 10 special interest groups, based on how he voted last year.

The conservatives split on Applegate, with the AmericanConservative Union giving him a failing grade, and the Com-" mittee for the Survival of a Free Congress giving him a 58 out of a possible 100. Liberals and the business community flunked Applegate, but environmentalists, whose ratings were based on both support for the tough new Clean Air Act and Reaganomics, gave him a 64 because he backed some of the key tax and spending issues the groups tracked. On the Clean Air Act, Applegate has voted for amendments that would weaken the legislation. Labor and consumer groups are most important to Applegate, whose district is populated heavily with bluecollar workers. Both groups gave Applegate top which labor backed.

Applegate's AFL-CK) rating was 69. BUSINESS The Chamber of Commerce of the United States largest and most influential voice of business in the capital, used 19 House votes to rate members. Included were votes on the budget and tax cut, the 1981 Farm Bill and the Foreign Aid bill, all of which the chamber backed. Applegate's business group score was a 21 CONSUMERS The Consumers Federation of America, largest consumer advocacy group in the nation, used 14 House votes to rate members. Issues included sugar and See APPLEGATE, Page 3 terest groups whose ratings were examined.

CONSERVATIVES The American Conservative Union based its ratings on 12 House votes last year on such issues as the Legal Services Corp. and foreign aid, which ACU opposes, and the Reagan budget and tax cuts, which the group supported. Applegate scored a 27. The Committee for the Survival of a Free Congress, headed by conservative leader Paul Weyrich, examined 252 House votes and rated members according to how well they displayed a philosophy of limited government, free enterprise, a strong defense and traditional family values. Applegate received a 58 score.

LIBERALS Americans for Democratic Action examined 20 House votes and issued their "Liberal Quotent" rating depending on how members voted on such items as the Reagan budget, tax cuts, the B-l Bomber and the MX Missile, all of which ADA opposed, and the Legal Service Voting Rights Act and use of federal funds for abortion, which ADA endorsed. Applegate got a 35. ORGANIZED LABOR The AFL-CIO rating was based on 15 House votes dealing with cutbacks in Labor Department funds, the Reagan budget and tax-cut bill, which labor cpos-ed, and measures to curb auto imports, and extend a tough Voting Rights Act, 1 he (LoshoctoE Inhume FAMILY WANT AD Sold Both to 1st caller 2-9' garage doors with tract, $100 ea.622-xxxx.

It has to do with the son yelling down the basement stairs to his mother, "Have you done your homework yet?" The son is not mimicking parental questioning, but is asking the question in ernest. There is a growing trend of older students returning to complete school or start course work they never had a chance to before. In fact, the number of students older than age 35 attending Ohio State University-Newark Campus nearly doubled in five years, according to OSUN Admissions Coordinator David Breckenridge. "I think with the way our world is becoming more complex; education is more important," Breckenridge said. "It's never too late."

River View High School lent an incubator to the center, and the staff said the residents have not been the same since. Kaser said she and her husband used to counterparts and the stall helped smooth out any reservations.

"It's a little traumatic when you're in a class where you're older than the professor," Graham recalled. "I was a little hesitant about it, but it's very fulfilling." OSU Newark, where Graham attends, has a campus organization for returning students to discuss problems they encounter. Graham said the support group also fills a social void returning students may experience. Returning students, after adjusting to the new university experience, perform well, Ohio University-Zanesville Community Education Director David Mitzel said. "They're generally more responsible," Mitzel commented.

"They want to be here. That desire tends to make them better students." Economics is one reason universities are encouraging older students to return. They help fill the gap of a decreasing typical student age population, Mitzel explained. In addition, education is a life-long experience; the older students with their broader experience contribute, and it serves as a social function for the older adults. The greatest motivation for the returnees is usually job related to improve their opportunities in their current field or to switch careers.

"I love every minute of it," Graham concluded, "even the finals. I'm glad I had this opportunity to return to school because it's been a lifesaver." Senate Candidates Opposites By W. NOLAN WE1DNER Tribune Staff Writer Plans for a new pumper truck for the Coshocton Fire Department are moving along, as bids from five companies were opened at noon Friday in the Mayor's office in City Hull. Fire Chief Charles Turner Jr. opened the bids, which ranged from $122,560 to $140,400, for a new pumper truck to replace an 18-ycar-old vehicle now used by the department at its Hale Station on Walnut Street.

City Council unanimously passed an ordinance to open bids for the new truck at a Feb. 22 meeting after Turner earlier told council members of the need to replace the city's aging truck, which has been out of service many times during the past few years with mechanical and body problems. Turner Friday said eight business here, scored Ashbrook 04 and Metzenbaum seven. The League of Conservation Voters, the political action arm of the environmental movement, scored Metzenbaum 88 and Ashbrook six. The National Education Association, representing 17 million teachers, rated Metzenbaum 75 and Ashbrook 50 for last year's voting records.

The National Farmers Union, which opposed the controversial 1981 Farm Bili passed by Congress, rated Ashbrook 14 and Metzenbaum 90 for their voting records. The National Council of Senior Citizens, an AFL-CIO affiliate which claims four million members, gave Metzenbaum a perfect 100 rating for his voting last year and Ashbrook a 14. Finally, the committee for the Survival of a Free congress, a conservative group, scored Ashbrook 75 and Metzenbaum 28 for their 1981 voting records. -Good Morning-Inside Today A SECOND TORNADO struck Knox County Saturday injuring six people and damaging property.

The other three bid only on supplemental equipment for the truck, such as fire hose and Scolt Air Pack breathing apparatus used by firefighters.

The vehicle also will carry 1,500 feet of hose, Low bid on the truck was turned in by the Sulphen Co. of Columbus at $122,560, and the highest bid was from Emergency One Co. of Florida at $140,400, Turner said, adding that does not mean a contract will be awarded the low bidder. "These aren't exactly hard, fast figures, because changes always can be made," said Turner, indicating it would be at least a few weeks before contracts were let.

Several options are open to the city in regard to the various specifications drawn up by the chief. For example, he said, the specifications for the bids were made up with the Idea of buying an aluminum-bodied truck, but an option to change to a steel-bodied vehicle, which is less expensive, was included in the specifications. Turner said he would sit down with company representatives, go through all of the bids and then decide which would provide a truck at the lowest price. The chief said he was "a little surprised" that the bids were as high as they were, adding he hoped to purchase the new truck and equipment for under $130,000. "It looks like I'm going to be awful close" to that figure, he said.

A contract for the truck and equipment, which do not have to be bought from the same company, should be o'll by the end of April, Turner said. The vehicle should be here within a year. Turner said he realised the cost of such a vehicle was high, "but it's not something you buy every year." for whom he re-enacted segments of the Oval Office broadcast, the president said he is turning to the radio forum used while out of office lo "bring the facts to the people" without the confusion generated by anonymous sources and administration critics.

"They have become the newest urban minority group. And, as such, they have the lowest status, the highest poverty and unemployment rates and all the accompanying social conditions such as drug and alcohol abuse, family breakdowns and crime." The current economic slump not only has solidified the lowest-rung position of these poorest of the poor, but it also has threatened those blue collar migrants who found factory jobs, he said.

Graham, a grandmother of two, quit her job as a postal employee after 18 years because of health reasons.

The free time and stagnation, she said, turned her thoughts to returning to university studies. She maintains a 2.9 grade-point average with a full course load. Graham said her family questioned the value of a degree at her age but now supports her decision. "I fully intend to find a job (in sociology)," Graham said of her motivations for returning, "but if I don't, I still have that sense of accomplishment." Relearning study habits and adjusting her schedule according to new priorities was hard at first, Graham explained. However, the "absolutely great" support of her younger had to start to level off sooner or later.

JSiiclear Experts or ii Of Danger CAMBRIDGE," England (AP) A nuclear war in Europe would kill at least 150 million people and most survivors would probably die from injuries or starvation, a nuclear physicist told a conference of international medical experts Saturday. Joseph Rotblat, Polish-born emeritus professor at London University, told the gathering of 160 doctors and medical researchers from 30 countries that a nuclear holocaust would so contaminate the atmosphere, it would be dark in daytime. Survivors would probably die of starvation because farming would prove impossible, he said. Rotblat was addressing the Second Congress of International Physicians for Prevention of Nuclear War at Newnham College, Cambridge University.

According to the Appalachian Regional Commission, 3 3 million people fled the region between 1950 and 1970.

Most came to industrial cities such as Dayton. But recently, some of the transplanted Appalachians and especially the more recent arrivals have been left with little choice but to move on again. The factory jobs that attracted many to the Midwest have been steadily diminishing in recent years as industries pull up stakes for the Sunbelt, where labor is cheaper and unions less powerful. "If you see a young man hitch-hiking on Interstate 75 these days, the odds are that Metzenbaum is seeking a second term in the Senate, while Ashbrook, a 20-year veteran of the House, has token opposition in his bid for the GOP nomination.

The one-story addition will provide laboratory technicians with more room and will allow the hospital to offer some new services to the community, hospital officials say. Within the new laboratory wing is a special room for the hospital's electrocardiagraph and electroencephalography equipment, an enlarged and remodeled laboratory, private office space and an enlarged medical records area. Adjacent to the laboratory is a new X-ray records area and two X-ray viewing rooms with film illuminators. One illuminator recently was purchased by the hospital.

Lab manager Richard Jackson said the new addition now allows the hospital to have a histology-cytology department and a full-time pathologist to operate it. Jackson explained the new department will study surgically removed tissue to determine the presence of any diseases.

Although they may not realize it, the Appalachian people who poured into Dayton, Detroit, Indianapolis, Columbus, Akron and other Midwest cities took part in one of this century's great migrations. The region's economy, and especially that of central Appalachia, literally collapsed following World War II, when the coal operaters mechanized their mines and fired tens of thousands of miners. The newly arrived migrants were easily identified by their appearance, mountain accents and distinctive habits, such as PLAQUE-Willard S.

After the incident, the driver took everyone aboard the bus to the Lawrence County sheriff's office where they were jailed for disorderly conduct.

The students spent several hours in jail. Substitute driver Cathy Johnson, 27, said the pupils had been harassing her for a week when someone set her waistlength hair afire and then doused it with water. School Superintendent Lloyd Evans said parents and pupils at the board meeting agreed with board members that discipline must be maintained and disorderly pupils dealt with so students who do behave will not be punished. Columhus Crime Dropped In 1 98 1 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -Stiffer penalties by judges, a shrinking juvenile population and increasing cooperation between police and citizens have resulted in a drop in the crime rate in Columbus, says Lt. Charles W.Cahill.

The head of the police force's research and development section said Friday that civilian crime alert programs are putting criminals on the defensive in some Columbus neighborhoods. A total of 71,252 serious and minor crimes were reported in Columbus last year 916 fewer than 1980, Cahill said. Police Chief Earl Burden said he was not surprised by the drop. "For the last three or four years, crime went up dramatically," he said. "It Appalachians Still Adjusting To City WASHINGTON (AP) President Reagan told a national radio audience today that his economic recovery program, parts of which have been in effwt since October, hasn't worked because it "hasn't really started yet." In the first of a series of Saturday noontime radio messages, Reagan said that he may accept "some compromise," but that he won't abandon the tax cuts already enacted because that would be "like trying to pull a game out in the fourth quarter by punting on the third down."

He said assimilation has been slow for most Appalachians, who have tended to intermarry and band together in their own, lower middle class neighborhoods. "However," he added, "the vast majority have improved their lives, most of them as blue collar factory workers. Some, especially the better educated migrants who came later, during the '60s, have managed to enter the white collar, professional class and have scattered throughout the city. And then, some have become the inner city poor Maloney said more than a million Appalachian migrants remain in poverty in the inner cities of Ohio, Indiana, Mich DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -Woodrow and Goldie Mae Smith have lived in Dayton for more than 35 years but they still feel "different" after all this time. "The people here in Dayton are different from us," Smith, a retired crane operator, said recently.

"They talk different and think different. They're not like we are; you know they're not." The "we" he referred to are the people from the central Appalachian coalfields. And, in the nearly four decades since the end of World War II, hundreds of thousands of these "briars" and "hillbillies" have migrated from their rugged hills and hollows in search of jobs in the urban, industrial parking broken-down cars in the yard and elevating them on cinder blocks to make it easier to scavenge parts. "The story, basically, is hat for the millions of Appalac' ian people who left the lulls, migrating has been a way of improving their lives," said Maloney, until recently the director of Cincinnati's Urban Appalachian Council, an outreach organization created in for some it has been a disastrous experience.
