"We hold that the Legislature in 1935 intended the Prison Reimbursement Act to apply to all inmates of the state penal system," the court stated in a 4-3 decision. The act applies to all inmates and not just those in the three prisons built by 1935 and mentioned in the 1935 law, it ruled. The decision will enable the state to resume collecting money from prisoners who can afford reimbursement, said state Attorney General Frank Kel-ley.

The state has about 19 cases pending that seek about $376,000 from inmates, said Assistant Attorney General Gary Kress. ADRIAN Employes to be tested About 500 current and former em ployes of Anderson Development Co. will be tested for possible effects of Curene 442, a chemical that has caused bladder cancer in test animals, officials said. The chemical, used in polyurethane products, was manufactured by the firm between 1968 and 1979. Officials plan to conduct the free testing in about six months to determine whether there is a link between the chemical and bladder cancer in humans.

Curene is no longer produced in the United States, according to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health in Cincinnati. MARQUETTE Schools chief will stay Schools Superintendent Richard Klahn will continue to head the district despite calls for his dismissal by a citizens group, the Marquette Board of Education unanimously has decided.

PLEASANT Embezzling alleged Federal embezzlement charges Volunteers sought for Lafayette Clinic is seeking people who suffer from Raynaud's disease to investigate how biofeedback works in the treatment of the disorder, and Sinai Hospital needs volunteers with mild high blood pressure to test the effectiveness of a new drug. Volunteers in the Lafayette Clinic study, financed by a grant from the National Institutes of Health, will be taught biofeedback techniques without charge. In biofeedback, mechanical monitors are used in teaching people how to control various body functions.

It has been found useful in the treatment of Raynaud's disease, which occurs mainly in women and produces painful spasms of the arteries in the UP? are drawn restrictions on killing them. Mack lauded a Wisconsin program that awarded $25 to anyone producing a dead beaver, but he hasn't proposed a beaver bounty in Michigan. State biologists agree with Mack that the beaver population is growing because trappers are killing fewer of the animals. But Bob Strong, wildlife biologist for the DNR in the UP, said the measures the department has taken are sufficient. "We've got a beaver problem, but not to the extent that Sen.

Mack thinks we do," Strong said. "You just can declare all-out war on beavers because the problems aren't that bad that we can solve them. In the western UP, where the animals are a major nuisance, DNR permits allow beavers to be shot or trapped outside the regular season, which started Oct. 25. Trappers are losing interest in beavers because the price for prime pelts has dropped from $80 more than a decade ago to about $25' this year, Strong said.

Fewer people are buying garments made from animal furs, Strong said. It is unsafe and illegal to shoot beavers, according to Strong. The animals are usually found in ponds and streams, where a rifle bullet that misses the target can skip in any direction, he said. A better solution, Strong said, is to improve the market for trappers by promoting Michigan beaver hats or the sale of beaver meat. "They're good eating.

You can bake 'em just like you would a raccoon," Strong said. Beaver war Battle lines State Sen. Joseph Mack wants to declare war on beavers which Mack calls "amphibious rats" because, he says, they're chewing down trees in the Upper Peninsula faster than loggers can cut them down. "It is no secret that beavers are causing tremendous damage to the natural resources of our state," Mack, D-Ironwood, said in a statement Tuesday. "They have invaded cemeteries and destroyed hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of timber." Beaver dams also are flooding forests and destroying trout streams in Mack's district, he said.

Ronald Skoog, director Sen. Mack of the state Department of Natural Resources, and the state's Natural Resources Commission are ignoring the problem, Mack said. The DNR denies the charge. Department officials say they have begun controlling the animals by extending trapping seasons by six weeks in 1983 and removing lmits on how many animals trappers can take in the western UP. A bill sponsored by Mack that was recently reported out of a Senate committee would let the director of a UP regional DNR office declare a beaver emergency and remove most WHEN YOU CALL US, YOU PAY LESS.

Detroit Free Press GOLD ADS 222-5 or Toll-free 1-800-572-3670 INTRODUCING A WATERFORD TRIO CLASSIFIED SEARS misji-, Hospital releases 4 hurt battling fire United Press International FREMONT A fire fighter who was trapped inside a burning ceramics shop in White Cloud and three others who were injured battling the blaze were released from a hospital Tuesday. Mark VanderSloot, 24, of White Cloud, suffered first-degree and second-degree burns on an arm and a leg when the roof of the Green-ware Plus shop collapsed early Monday, trapping him inside the burning building. Elden Harris, 37, also of White Cloud, was with VanderSloot when the roof collapsed but was able to crawl to safety. He was treated for neck injuries and other bruises, said Gerber Memorial Hospital spokesman Dave Hewitt. Duane Cruzan, 37, son of White Cloud Fire Chief Sam Cruzan, and Jerry Jellma, 39, also of White Cloud, were treated for smoke inhalation.

The elder Cruzan said crews immediately began hosing down the area where VanderSloot was trapped but had to use extraction tools in the half-hour effort to free the four-year department veteran. VanderSloot said he was trapped in an area between a heavy wooden beam and the remainder of the collapsed roof section and that he probably would have been killed had he been more than a foot away in any direction from where he was standing.
