I f aayona doubta the ability of the East- TTOnt area to support a junior college, they should study the criteria established by the State of Washington for such institutions. Washington is embarking on ambitious jaycee program and sets up the following iMMtreneota: (1) A 26-mile commoting area within an hour or less, (2 ) A minimum of 8,700 pupils in Grades 1-12, (3) A high-school population capable of producing 460 graduates annu ally, and (4) A minimum potential of 300 full-tim e junior college students within a year after the school opens. The Eastmont area meets a ll of these requirements easily. The commuting provision is no problem since good roads fan out in all directions from Gresham. — School census figures last fa ll indicated 7.000 students In grades 1-12 in the area served by the Gresham Union High District alone. Add to these Reynolds, David Doug las. Parkrose, Sandy, Corbett etc., and the figure soars far beyond the minimum re quirement of 8,700. As to high-school graduates, Gresham and Centennial total about 400, Reynolds an other 100, David Douglas 400, Parkrose 200 etc. Here again, the final figure is far in excess of the suggested minimum of 460. And finally, the potential of 300 full-tim e students after a year’s operation is no prob lem at all. This past year, extension classes arranged by the State Board of Education have been under way at Gresham high and attendance has averaged about 240. And these were strictly night classes. So rapid has been the growth of the E x tension Center here that Gresham already is the fourth largest in the state, trailing only Portland, Salem and Eugene. The potential is here and probabilities are that the state legislature next time will authorize a junior college (or a “commun ity college,” in the latter-day vernacular) if the Eastmont ares really wants one. We vote “yes.” Guest Editorial We read with interest the'editorials con cerning united way campaigns published in The Gresham Outlook and The Sandy Post of April 6, 1961. and we feel challenged by the questions vou posed in your remarks. We feel that we can answer these ques tions, and we hope that this letter w ill at least modify some of the Impressions that comments by Richard Carter, author of “The Gentle Legions,” established either by inferenoe or direct statement. First we think it essential that we stress the fact that the United Good Neighbor “fam ily” of 71 health, welfare, recreation and rehabilitation agencies exists for the cit Isens of Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington Counties. They are locally centered aud locally administered, and the bulk of the money raised is spent locally. Certainly a part of the funds raised for the American Heart Association and other services of national scope go outside of the trl-county area— but only briefly. The re search and improvements In diagnosis and treatment that these funds support come back to the people of this area in multiplied lieneflts. Undoubtedly thiB would ba true if t M H eart AaBM BftolM Itrtied on a sep arate campaign in the tri-county area, but It would be less efficient and inevitably would cost more. We are pleased that most of the major national appeals— Red Cross, Heart, Mental Health, Arthritis and Rheumatism, Cerebral PalBy, and many more, are participants in the one United Good Neighbors appeal. These agencies have active service pro grams right here In the tri-county area. The goal sought by UGN each year is based not upon “what the traffic will bear,” but upon the minimum needs of t|je agencies in terms of services to peo- wte. Representative volunteer citizen com- iSnlttees— Including leaders In the profes sions as well as business and industry— spend a great deal of time studying the needs of the agencies and carefully evalu ating their budget requests. Ai^l even the , decisions of these panels apeyfu^ject t£ th e » final test of the UGN board of directors. The UGN is a givei^’ movement, governed by the givers. There is no fat, ng buffer wtsie for em ergencies. in this goal. And, we must Im press. the goal represents a minimum fig ure, not the "go for broke” amounts often sought by Independent campaigns. •"T h e UGN receives no national control in Gw sense of answering to a national office which sets arbitrary quotas with which in- TfTVidual communities must “sink or swim.” There is a national association, true, but United Community Funds and Cbuncils of America has no administrative authority in the operation of a local united way organization. Mr. Carter points this odt in his book. " T h e one annual UGN campaign for 71 separate agencies costs only 4.7 cents of each contributor’s dollar. Contrast this with the “good old days" when costs of multiple campaigns ranged from 15 to 25 cents and higher. The American Association of Fund-Rais ing Counsel reports, for example, that the fund raising costs for the American Cancer Society’s drive in the United States last year were 11 cents on the dollar. The As sociation report also shows that Crusade contributions showed a decrease of 6.6 per cent from the previous year -M r. Carter Implies that mujor health agencies are pleased with their “g o - i t - alone“ policies, but latest figures available on campaign results since the book was published show that many of the major independent campaigns raised lt*bs than the year before, while United Campaigns, gen erally, raised more. A report published re- I S cently in the Medical Tribune cays: a»“Public giving to American voluntary • h la lth and welfare agencies fell off last J year while the fund drives of local united » funds and community chests showed an 9 School, Water Elections Due; N o t e s I Grange Meeting Set Saturday By MSB. LOUISE M A Y E R Entered at the Post Office at Sandy, Clackamas County, Oregon, as second class matter under the Apt of Congress of March 187«. ¡P a g e t <„,«■ Z5 to 20% upswing, the National Information Bureau reported in a ‘rough* tabulation of cam paign contributllons’.” The report goes on to point out that while some national groups increased their cam paign receipts in 1900 over 1959, the over all figure given by the Bureau for such campaigns shows a drop of $1,416,900 In 1960 from 1959 results. In contrast, giving to local United Funds and Community Chests for 1960 was tip by $30,990,000 over the previous year. You mentioned the “ lack of services” to communities outside the "core area.” We believe that you will be interested to know that there are more than 6,349 persons be ing served by youth agencies in East M ult nomah County, which Includes your circular tion area. These include the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, and many others. Fam ily service agencies such as the Fam ily Counseling Service, Volunteers of Am erica, Red Cross Home Service, and others, served 1,208 families In the East Multno mah area. Health services—the Portland Center for Hearing and Speech, Commun ity Child- GtHRatrCb’^CIInlc, W o rn D h Con valescent Home and Rehabilitation Institute — listed 138 patients. And child care serv ices, such as Villa St. Rose, Providence Nursery, Albertina Kerr Homes, Boys and Girls Aid Society, and many more, serv ed 399 children. These are figures based on reports for 1959, and when the final tabulation are com pleted on 1960, they are expected to show a marked increase in service to East M ult nomah County citizens. It should be remembered that citizens of your area also benefit from the wide-range programs of our major national agencies. It is important to know that UGN agen cies are not exclusively for “charity” cases. They are for all levels of community life. Each agency has a fee scale based on “ability to pay,” but even those who pay the fu^l but moderate Zees receive services which would cost f a r more, or might not even be available, were It not for UGN support. No legitimately needy person is turned away because he cannot pay. In the*fh»al analysis, the effectiveness of the united way is based upon the w illing ness of our cltisens to accept the respon sibility of supporting—both financially and physically— the UGN organization which they themselves demanded and created as the common sense answer to meeting vital community needs. It is with pride that we say that the UGN today provides 90 per cent of the funds raised for voluntary health, welfare, recreation and rehabilitation serv ices in Multnomah, Clackamas and Wash ington Counties. Among considerations which prompted the citixens of the tri-county area to create the UGN were the savings in manpower and the efficiency in terms of cost— only 4.7 cents on the dollar— of the single ap peal approach. The people were tired of be ing called upon to work and give in many separate drives. They appreciated the fact that only a very small amount goes to pay campaign costs in the united effort. If our UGN falls by the wayside the 71 participating agencies w ill not go out of business, but the tri-county area— your com munities— w ill be plagued by an additional 71 fund appeals. The result: Chaos and the eventual breakdown of our voluntary sys tem of “caring for our own.” Please be assured that we appreciate the interest indicated by your editorial. We feel, however, that we should clarify some of the misconceptions that Mr. Carter may have caused through his general comments. Please accept our thanks for this opportun ity to present for your information the case for the united way. Sincerely, Donald V. McCallum President Mine one and only and I fin fo r this area.
