Dixy Lee Ray took Olympia by storm four years ago, but she said her final goodbyes Tuesday ever so quietly, — “We gladly step aside and let someone else come up to bat,” said her righthand man, chief of staff Pauli Bender. Atthe end of the work day, a quiet day of reverie, signing papers and making last goodbyes, the . governor climbed into her big State Patrol car, 4 ' Chrysler New Yorker packed with lastminute No, Just Teo =, boxes, and left for her home on Fox Island, he said, Although governor until John Spellman's swearing in sometime after noon today, she chose : an early and low-key exit. i Ray is not bitter, but decided she didn’t want to be around for the swearing in of her successor, Bender said. Ray was unceremoniously dumped in the Democratic primary in September by state Sen. Jim McDermott of Seattle. Since her loss, she retreated to her office, dropping her rigorous schedule of public appearances. And her departure followed that mold. When Dan Evans left — voluntarily — four years ago after three terms in office, he made a splashy televised farewell address to the legislature, held a news conference -and offered help to Ray.

Ray senta printed speech to lawmakers, did not hold a press conference, and left without fanfare. Reporters trying to chronicle her exit did not catch a glimpse of her. The receptionist assured one reporter that Hay had left already, but Bender said she was still in her inner office. Reparters camped - outin her foyer, with no luck, and then decided to go downstairs to the parking garage in case she exited through a private back stairway. While they were below, Ray apparently left through the front door. Ray has had a running feud with the press. Her inst day was uneventful. She was driven from her Foxtrot Farm home on Fox Island to her Olympia office a little later than usual. Lawyer Jerry Hanna had some papers for her to sign and her personal secretary had some business for her to handle, Beyond that, it was a matter of final farewells. New attitude toward loans evident now OTTAWA (CP) — Consumer and business borrowers, stung by recordhigh interest rates last spring, more readily accepted sparing money cosls when they reap- peared late last year, say lenders. In both cases, high rates forced many individual and business clients to borrow only for essential purposes, said bank, trust company and credit union officials in recent interviews. But several ienders said they detected a new at- titude, with some borrowers either ready to make higher monthly pay- ments, or certain that the cost of money will get worse before it gets better. John Prilchard, vice- president of consumer credit tor Royal Trust Ltd., Toronto, said ‘people are definitely getting used to higher interest rates.” “People were so stunned last spring, there was an almost total deying up of demand," he said. But the second timé around, the reaction was not a8 strong. While consumer demand is off for car loans, Prit- chard said others continue ta borrow to finance in- vestments to beat inflation, including a second home, stocks and registered re- tlrement saving and home ownership plans. Interest paid on loans to finance registered retirement and home ownership: plans is an al- lowed deduction for income tax purposes. One major bank lender, who said his consumer loan business dropped in December, also stoted a change in outlook by some borrowers this lime. "Borrowers are fore — concerned with their monthly rate than with the rate itself,’ he com- mented. Such a change in at litude, say some lenders, could lead to new bank oan policies which adapt to the . emphasis on monthly payments.

They were the first use of force against workers since the - regime signed labor agreements last summer ending months of widespread strikes that crippled the economy. The agreements created the first independent trade unions in Communist Poland and the Soviet bloc but did net end labor unrest. Poland’s Supreme Court held hearings Dec. 30 on the farmers’ appeal to establish an independent union. It adjourned without a ruling, saying it needed time to study documents.

Because the Columbia River has become so controlled with dams for power generation, too little water is being spilled over the dams to get young salmon across, Moos said, The fish tend to “sound” or deep-dive and then get caught in the turbines, where they are either killed or stunned and fall prey to seagulls. . Extra spills of water have been ordered each Spring, but they prove to be expensive in lost power and also inefficient in moving fish, Moos said.
