Now jthat the SAAP scholars Have . made it through the most dif ficult ' part of the pro gram, they are taking a three-day educational field trip to Washington, where they will visit- the National Institutes of Health, area medical and dental schools and other health and governmental agencies which promote health care. SAAP is funded by a grant from the Health Careers Opportunity Program, Office ( of Health Resources Op portunity, Health Resources: Administra tion, Department of Health and Human Resources, in Washington jD.C. By Elson Armstrong, Jr. . For the past couple of weeks the weather prov ed that you don't have to go West to know what California heat is like much of the year. . A stagnant mass of hot air trapped smoke, dust, and automobile ex haust fumes in the air . just over the.city, giving Durham residents and the rest of the Triangle three days of smog. And, in addition, the year's longest heat wave hit with full force. The current string of 90 degree days began in Durham on July 21 and has continued without a break. On July 26, temperatures in downtown Durham hit 102 degrees and -on. the.,' next day, the mercury' rose to 100 degrees. - A spokesman for ' the National Weather ( Ser vice says .the . rare Durham smog was caus ed when a stable hot air mass settled over North Carolina. Stable means that the air mass hit when temperatures in the upper atmosphere were ' also warm. When this situation exists, a weather spokesman said, "there are no afternoon showers or thunderstorms that will jn effect wash particles from the air. When the air is stable, dust, smoke and other small particles remain suspended in the lower atmosphere, creating the smog. The ,: weather service spokesman added that if this condition were to re main over the Triangle for several days then they would issue an air alert which means, that, due to the pollution, per sons with respiratory problems should take precautions. The reason that there weren't any air alerts -, issued during last week is an approaching cold 1 front promised to set off thunderstorms by Wednesday and ' Thurs day and, therefore, the smog would be washed away. The rain came Wednesday night and' Thursday morning. Durhan sweltered through not only its hott test days thus far this summer but nighttime readings were also un comfortable. Some nights the mer cury never dropped; below 76 degrees and on July 27 jt .was still 90 degrees at 9 pm. While the cold front promised to rid Durham of its smog, the actual temperatures should re main warm with readings in the 80' s and 90's but the humidity values may drop which would be quite refreshing.

In recent ytfars, Con-. gress has extended FHA and VA loans to apartment 1 owners in condominiums and cooperatives. The financial advantages are sinjilar to those of the ' house owner because payments for real estate taxes and mortgage interest are deductible for income i tax. Furthermore, the apartmeftt owner need not , concern themselves with the "outside" the land scaping arid maintenance of the structure. The same legal precautions are necessary as when buying a house. ... , : mam ; ; "inmimmwiwurai ,T,,f,immr., , mmmmmmmMwmmwMmmml.
