The continuous filament fiber of Polar Guard resists separating and movement in a bag, thus preventing cold spots. Unlike down. Polar Guard will not mat or clump when wet and it dries quickly. These features make Polar Guard a safe practical insulation for our damp Oregon climate.

The drive is headed up by Sherican Fountain, chairer of the newly-formed Citizens Action and Advisory Committee (CAAC), which operates a signature booth at the Downtown Mall. The booth, located near the mall fountain, will be open until 6 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week. CAAC needs 4431 signatures on each of the five petitions to call a recall. The five board members under threat of recall are chairer Sam Frear, Larry Hughes, Gail Nichol son, Barbara West and Jonathan West. The reason given on the petition for the recall is, "for refusing to support appropriate budget reductions in the already defeated school district (4-J) budget." A school tax levy ot more tnan $21 million dollars was defeated by Eugene voters May 7 and again on July 19. Earlier this month the board met to cut out about $1 million from the levy. Most of the cuts came about because of unexpected revenue from school district investments and from the state. This new tax levy will go to the voters for approval Sept. 17. Fountain hopes to have the recall election at the same time. But the exact date of the election will be set by the county elections division. After CAAC turns in their signatures —Fountain hopes to have at least 5,000 Monday morning —the elections office will give them to the secretary of state for certification. If the secretary of state certifies the signatures and the county verifies the signatures the secre tary calls into question, state law requires that a recall be held within 25 days. Board members will have five days after the signatures are verified in which to resign to avoid a recall election.

"Very frankly, from the response we've been getting, they're com ing in in great shape," he says. He stresses that CAAC has no argument with the budget itself, expecially with the $300,000 in local tax dollars allocated to kindergartens. His objection to the board members stems from a feeling that they are ignoring the results of two elections. "One woman (working on the petition drive) who is in favor of kindergartens told me, 'My vote means more to me than my kids spending half a year in kinder garten,' " Fountain said. He hopes to continue the group after the recall effort regardless of the results. He notes CAAC has a two-part name, 'action” and 'advisory.” The action, he says, is the recall, and after it is finished Fountain wants the group to act in its advisory capacity as a carrier of information from the com munity to the school board. The group is now asking for donations of money and time. Fountain's home phone number is 689 4641. The citizens' group can be contacted by mail at P.0 Box 10503, Eugene, 97401.
