This an open letter to the
people of Port orford.
Are you a concerned par
ent" Do you pay taxes in this
(school) District" Do you have
questions on the busing plan"
Are you concerned about the
effects this plan will have on
the quality of education for our
Port orford children, and the
long-range cost to the tax
payers of the district"
B you are concerned, now
Is the time to attend your
school board meetings. Talk
to your representatives, let
them know how you feel on
the subject.
W e feel that the school board
made a hasty decision, that
leaves us with no alternative
should the 6-6 plan b e defeated
again. You will have a gun
at your head, so to speak, to
continue to bus our (the ma
jority) students of the 7th and
8th grades indefinitely to Lang
lois.
If busing becomes a perm a
nent thing, then the school
board and the taxpayers will
be faced with a costly expan
sion program at Langlois. Here
again, no one knows for sure
ho» costly this will he. And
If this comes to pass, do we
want our permanent junior
high facility located at Lang
lois, where the smallest frac
tion of the total student load
lives?
The effects of this hasty,
short-sighted move are far-
reaching and quite serious to
this community.
Our questions are numerous.
The andswers have not been
forthcoming. I! you feel that
we. as the majority of the pa
trons of this district deserve
answers, and satisfying ones)
about futur- planning of our
school district, then we sug
gest that you turnout, en masse,
to the next school board meet
ing and voice your opinion.
Sincerely,
Kay Vincent

Back in August of 196 5 1 was privileged to
accompany two county deputies on a trip to the
resort community of Marial, ui C urry's back-country,
where a routine visit was interupted by the ap
pearance of two deputies from Josephine county
and the police chief of Glendale, who were hot
on the trail of a check forger that had picked the
wrong place to hide out . . . there is only one road
to Manal, a road that drops from the mountain
top down into the Rogue River canyon.
When you break out of the timber as you enter
Marial, the first thing you see is the beautiful
Anderson ranch with its white-trimmed r “d ranch
house, care-takers’ cottage, bam and other out
buildings. We made the ranch our first stop, where
we met caretakers Al and Dot Beaudin. Dot was
in the middle of canning but Al jumped at the chance
for a little diversion and offered to give us the
grand tour of Marial and introduce us to Manfred
and Marial 'whom the lodge was named for) Akesson.
We met some nice folks, saw beautiful country,
nabbed the forger, suffered some extreme heat,
and eventually made it back home, despite having
a flat tire on the way over.
Reason I bring this up nine years later is that
Saturday morning a pickup pulling a big trailer
pulls up in front of the office . . . and the guy behind
the sun glasses who bangs on the front door 'til I
let him m turns out to be 'ol congenial Al from
Manal. Dot remained in the vehicle while Al and
I confirmed who we were (nine years did make
SOME difference after all). The reunion, however,
was sadly interupted by the appearance of a state
policeman. Seems that Al’s trailer was sucking a
little out into 10th St., which caused the officer to
forthwith write him a citation for impeding traf
fic . . . the only traffic being the officer.
Needless to say. Al was a bit unhappy about
the $17 violation, in fact I got the distinct feeling
that he thought it was a pretty steep price to pay
for a few minutes of talking over the events of a
hot day back in ’65. Some days it sure don’t pay
to look up old friends.
-P -“
Hey George! How do you like having your brand
new car refuse to start until you fasten your seat
belt” Even if you don’t intend on moving it more
than a couple of feet . . . or you just want to let
it idle while you listen to the sweet hum of that
smooth running engine while you’re parked m your
yard.
Well, there is an alternative being proposed
that would make it possible to start the car with
out buckling the belt, but it would still be impos
sible to move it. Seems kinda rediculous that a
person can spend his hard-earned cash on a vehicle
. . . then have the vehicle refuse to operate until
the driver obeys certain commands from the ve
hicle. it would make you think the driver was totally
without brains of any kind. That stupid buzzer that
blasts off until seat belts are fastened is bad enough
. . . but a car that refuses to start or move because
the driver didn’t fasten the belt Is pure mechanical
tyranny. By the way, did you ever think that man
datory seat belt fastening restrictions built-in to
autos might just l*-ad to the mandatory installation
of engine governors that would make it impossible
to exceed a certain speed"
But getting back to the new seat belt proposal,
your comments on the niatter may be sent to the
Docket Section, National Highway Traffic Safety Ad
ministration, Room 5221, 400 Seventh street, SW,
Washington, D C. 20590. Why not give ’em a piece
of your mind?

There Is a certain bus d ri

It seems that this man tiad

CONGRESS AND ENERGY LEGISLATION
Literally hundreds of bills have been introduced In Congress
during recent months in response to the energy crisis Four of
these measures have been in the forefront of Congressional a t
tention recently as Congress seeks to pull together the federal
role in dealing with energy problems
The first of these four bills the Emergency Energy Act. was
vetoed by the President earlier this month and killed when the
Senate sustained the veto In my opinion this bill would have
vested too much unrestricted power in the hands of the Presl
dent
For example It would have authorized the President to
impose gas rationing when he felt It necessarv without Congres
sional approval or oversight
Although I hope it will not be necessary to impose gas ration
ing I am not opposed to the existence of some kind of standby
authority But I feel strongly that Congress should at least have
the chance if not even the obligation to lake part in a decision
that will affect as many people as gas rationing would For this
reason and because of other r eservations about the bill. I had
voted against it and was glad the Senate sustained the veto This
bill was another example of Congress attempting to pass poor and
ill-advised legislation in the face of a crisis rather than to wrestle
with the problems when they first appear and to develop compre
hensive well thought-out legislative solutions
A second major energy bill would establish the Federal Energy
Administration and define its responsibilities At present the
Federal Energy Office created by Executive Order does not
have a mandate from Congress This bill has passed both the
House and Senate and is now in Conference Committee
The third major energy organization bill would establish a unit
separate from the Federal Energs Administration to administer
federal efforts in energy research and development This bill to
set up an Energy Research and Development Administration
passed the House in December and is pending in the Senate
Government Operations Committee
It was during House debate or. this bill that I offered an amend
ment directing the Council on Environmental Quality to carry on
a continuing analysis of the environmental effects of energy
research
The fact that my amendment was defeated seems to me to be
part of a dangerous trend that Congress may be turning its back
on the environment in the rush to overcome energy shortages
As severe as energy shortages are I believe they can and must
be solved without totally sacrificing environmental considerations
A fourth major energy policy and program bill is being handled
by the House Interior Committee on which 1 serve 1 was delighted
last week when the Environment Subcommittee of our Committee
approved my version of this bill to help determine policy for
the Energy Research and Development Administration in the
non-nuclear area The next step is approval by the full Interior
Committee so that the bill can be sent to the House for what I
hope will be its early approval
To date I believe the Congress has been too slow in dealing
with the energy crisis in a rational and comprehensive manner
It is my hope that Congress will speed up action on legislation
that will approach head-on and in an effective way solutions to
the energy crisis
There s help available for
farm ers and other agricultural
producers who have to estimate
how much fuel they'll need this
year to qualify for their alloca
tion under federal energy regu
lotions
Worksheets and instructions
for calculating fuel require
ments are available at local

whole idea could be transport

flames.

Congressman John Dellen
back has sponsored legislation
to require (hat a percentage of
United States oil Imports be
carried on United States flag
vessels
The bill is intended to help
bolster our merchant marine
industry.' Dellenback said Its
enactment would assure at least
a certain amount of continuing
business for U S vessels
Dellenback explained that the
bill would require that at least
20% of all petroleum and
petroleum products imported
into the U S be carried on
privately owned U S commer
cial vessels with the percentage
to be raised to at least 25%
after June 30. 1975 and to at
least 30% after June 30. 1977
