Dear Ann Landers: Can you stand another "how we met" story? I hope so because I love to tell mine. The year was 1954, 1 traveled by bus from Edmonton to the tiny northern community of High Prairie, Alberta. I had just accepted a job as a traveling public health nurse on an Indian reservation and was scared to death, wondering if I could meet the challenge.

The bus dropped me at an all-night cafe at 2:00 in the morning. The temperature was 30 degrees below zero. Accommodations had been arranged with a local family, but not knowing the community, how would I find them? The only people in the cafe were the town constable and a scruffy-looking trucker. I asked the constable about transportation. "No problem, Miss," he said, "Hal here has got his pickup truck.

He'll drive you over. Everybody in town knows Hal, and you can trust him." Maybe I trusted him too Forty-two years, three daughters and two granddaughters later, Hal is still driving me around, sometimes in a motor home, sometimes in a sailboat and sometimes in a pickup truck a new one with real seats to sit on instead of oil cans. We've had a wonderful life together and couldn't be happier. M.T. in Edmonton, Alberta Dear M.T.: Thank you for sharing a beautiful love story.

It sounds as if you took a big chance and hit the jackpot. Here's one more: October 31, 1896: Three carloads of cement for the Gold Creek Mining Company's big reservoir arrived in Elko yesterday and is being loaded for the north. George Grant's team will finish loading today. Corey Bros, have between 150 and 200 men at work on the big reservoir and canal at Island Mountain. 75 YEARS AGO October 24, 1921: We are prone to laugh at the tales of eagles carrying off children, lambs and small animals but if seeing is believing, you should go to Ruby Valley where eagles grow to an enormous size.

They sit on crags of the mountainside and swoop down into the flocks of ducks, taking their toll whenever hunger calls. Albert Myers, one of the ranchers of the valley, tells of roping one of these big birds. He found it sleeping on the end of a haystack and as the bird was flying off, he lassoed it around the neck. It was coal black and measured over nine feet from tip to tip. Golden eagles are also plentiful in the valley but never attain the size of their dark brethren.

Technology allows science to seek Earth-like planets October 28, 1971: Deeth rancher Bill Wright, 41, claims he and his partner Jon Pelky, 22, of Palo Alto, hold the national record for stacking baled hay an impressive 3,137 bales put in a stackyard in a single 10 hour day during September of this year. Wright states that recognition of stackers has been very informal, highly localized and usually carried on only by casual oral communication.

For years the work of stacking hay has been considered by many participants as an art and a very competitive sport. Wright has had 22 years of experience in haying practices and Pelky, 4. When done by hand it requires experience, coordination, skill and strength. Because large quantities are handled in short time periods, great demand is placed upon mental and physical toughness and the endurance of the workers. It is hoped to publicize their record so as to recognize these outstanding achievements.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) The search for new worlds is speeding up rapidly as astronomers are learning to use new instruments, satellites and telescopes that make possible for the first time the discovery of Earth-like planets in orbit around distant stars. Recent discoveries of large planets, the finding that life may have existed on Mars and the announced goal of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to seek out other life-sustaining worlds has created feverish excitement among many of the world's astronomers. "I think it's time now for us to look for Earth like planets." said Nick Woolf, a University of Arizona astronomer. "The technology is developing so that it is becoming more and more reasonable." "There's a feeling now that we could actually do this." said Jon M.

Jenkins, an astronomer at the Ames Research Center. "We've seen a huge increase in interest." Astronomers in the past five years already have found huge. Jupiter-size planets orbiting distant stars. There have been at least 11 claimed discoveries, although some of these finds have been disputed. But the real goal is to locate planets that are more like the Earth, places that might, indeed, foster life.

The theory is that such planets would have to be in the "habitable zone," or in an Earth-like orbit of a sun-like star. Only in such conditions is liquid water possible, and water is considered essential for life. It is impossible to see such planets now because the brightness of the stars blinds instruments to the view of the planets. "It's like trying to detect a speck in front of a searchlight," said Jenkins. New and keener instruments, placed into an orbit far out in space, hold the most promise, Woolf said.

A concept called Oasis already is undergoing engineering analysis. The plan calls for putting a satel lite telescope into a solar orbit beyond Mars and then focus on stars that appear to be good candidates for planets. "Such a satellite should be able to detect an Earth at about 30 light years away." said Woolf. A light year is about 6 trillion miles. Once such a planet is found, the Oasis then would be able to analyze the chemistry of the planet's atmosphere, a kev to the possibility of life.

"At 30 light years, you would be able to detect, for instance, the presence of carbon dioxide," Woolf said. Though the engineering is "very tricky" and expensive, scientists know basically how such a craft should be built, he said. Woolf said it would take 10 years to build the satellite and three more to launch it and put it on its target orbit. The cost: about $2 billion. Another group has proposed 'a simpler, cheaper effort called the Kepler Mission.

THE ELKO CLINIC AFTER HOURS URGENT CARE Dear Ann Landers: In 1933, riding on a train from Shanghai, China, to Soochow, on a company picnic for employees, a young American sat next to me. At a stop where we all got out to hike up the hills and go over a Chinese Moon Bridge, Carl helped me up the steep slopes and was very attentive. His gentleness and good manners impressed me a lot. When we returned, he asked if I would like to have dinner some night. It was in Shanghai, a very exciting city, that our romance blossomed.

In 1936, he asked my father if he could marry me. My crusty, outspoken Australian father replied, "I didn't raise my daughter to marry a damn Yankee!" Not ones to be intimidated, we became engaged anyway. Later that year, Carl returned to the United States, got another job and sent for me. After we had three children, Carl told me he was going to enter the Episcopal priesthood. He was or-daiiied'in Trenton; N.J.; in 1971, and you can imagine the adjustment I had to make when I found myself going to bed with a priest.

On Aug. 22, we celebrated our 60th wedding anniversary. We now have five grandchildren and one greatgrandchild. Carl is active as an associate priest and also assistant pastoral care director at a large medical center, and we are enjoying life immensely Gwendoline Gracely, Walnut Creek. Calif.

Dear Gwendoline: I very much enjoyed speaking with you on the phone. Thank you for permission to use your most unusual "how we met" story in the column. And a special thank-you for allowing me to use your name. Your story is lovely and would make a great romantic novel. APPOINTMEOT'NEEDED To better serve our patients and to decrease waiting time our urgent care is now being staffed with two providers.

An internist for adult care and family practice for children's care. China finds AIDS in blood product Foreign Ministry said. It did not say when the ban was ordered, nor whether any vials were still on the market. Health Ministry officials in charge of the case in Beijing and Guangdong, the southern province where the contaminated vials were discovered, refused to discuss the matter. Nor have state-run news media reported it.

The Health Ministry's silence comes despite warnings last week from Health Minister Chen Minzhang that ignorance about AIDS could help the disease spread in the world's most populous nation. "This shows there are blood do nors who give blood who should not give blood and that in this population of blood donors the virus is circulating," said Emile Fox, head of UNAIDS in Beijing, which oversees U.N.-backed AIDS programs in China. Fox said Chinese Health Ministry officials told him the tests showed no signs of active HIV, making it extremely unlikely anyone could actiu ally contract AIDS from the albumin injections. Nevertheless, the case appeared to confirm long-held suspicions among health officials that AIDS could seep into the population through China's blood banks.

Urgent Care Hours: Monday-Friday 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. 762 14th Street 738-3111 Elko, Nevada BEIJING (AP) China has found signs of the AIDS virus in a common over-the-counter blood product, but health officials have yet to tell the public about the risk of contamination from it. The discovery, the first known case of its kind in China, highlights problems in the poorly policed Chinese medical system particularly its blood supply.

In April, tests found AIDS antibodies in Wolongsong, a brand of the blood protein albumin, the Chinese Foreign Ministry told The Associated Press yesterday in the first official confirmation of the contamination. Chinese inject themselves with albumin to boost resistance to disease. The Public Health Ministry ordered a ban on the sale and use of the albumin produced by a military-run factory and available in clinics and pharmacies and told health officials to destroy stocks, the PDl 7 K-l Lf LC?
