City Budget Approved Sandy voters approved the 1964- 65 municipal budget, 87-71, in a special election Monday. Specifically, the voters were asked to authorize a levy $22,- 566 in excess of the 6 per cent limitation. Sandy has insufficient tax base to permit operation of the town within the constitutional limitation; hence, a special levy must be approved annually. The amount over 6 per cent was less by some $7,000 of that approved last year. However, the closeness of the vote was attrlbu- ted in some quarters to dissatls- faction over the water meter slt- uation. Sandy has about 500 registered voters; of these, 158 turned up for Tuesday’s election.

There is a far-away look in the eyes of many of our fellow citizens, Lights are burning In garages, basements and hobby shops far past midnight. Hollow eyed men and women are hurry ing in and out of hardware stores and sporting goods houses. Friends pass friends and there is no re cognition. Pickups are greased. Tents and boots are overhauled. The state’s supply of white gas is perilously low. Canned food, gasoline stoves and lanterns are checked. Are we about to be bombed or Invaded? Are escape routes to be used? The problem is much worse than that The mass hysteria of trout season’s opening day, April 25 is almost here!

Purdy is an example of what old-fashioned mark, bringing the new ambulance within the realm of possibility. Any and all contri butions are still needed and will be very gratefully received. AOC Recommends Gas Tax Increase The Association of Oregon Counties told the Interim Com mittee on Highways today that it would take more than twice as much money to correct existing county road deficiencies as the counties now receive from all sources, federal, state and local, and recommended a one cent in crease in the state gasoline tax to help close the gap. D.L. Penhollow, County Judge of Deschutes County, and Pres ident of the AOC, said the fat ality rate on county roads is more than twice that on city streets, and about the same as on state highways. He stressed the impor tance of a modern system of county roads to the timber industry and to agriculture, as well as to tour ism and public recreation. AOC staff member, Ward Arm- streng, gave the Interim Commit tee the results of a six-month study, coordinated by the AOC, Ernst Earns Scholarship Mary Louise Ernst of Sandy and Dorothy M. Denning of Portland have been granted $100 partial scholarships by the Multnomah County Unit of the American Cancer Society. Each year the Cancer Society accepts applications for scholar ships according to funds available. During the last 6 years seven grants have been made to help Increase the reservoir of trained people able to work in the field of practical nursing. The*100 awards apply to student tuition. Miss Ernst and Mrs. Denning will study such subjects as nursing skills, nutrition, drugs, anatomy, physiology and ethics for the first four months and then be assigned to any one of the five Portland area hospitals for on-the-job - training. Upon completion of the course they will be prepared to take the state examination for a license as a practical nurse. of county road conditions and dl- fenciencles. He said the count ies estimate it would take $621 million just to bring existing county roads up to state standards for roads with equivalent amounts of traffic. Spread over a ten year period, together with annual main tenance costs of $18.4 mil Hon, this would require annual county road expenditures of $80.5 mll- Hon, as compared to current an- nual revenues of about $35.4 mll- Hon. AOC Executive Secretary Ken Tollenaar said the only feasible place to look for additional re venues Is the state gas tax. He noted that Oregon’s six cent rate is now lower than gas taxes in neighboring states. He said the AOC believes the proceeds of the proposed one cent Increase should be earmarked exclusively for county roads and city streets. Coin Collection On Display Here Much of their spare time in the last 6 years has been spent by Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Kent in collecting coins. Part of this collection is now on display at the Clackamas County Bank. Many of these coins, Kent points out, are what are known as “proof sets’’ or special coins minted for presentation and for numismatists. They are made by a different pro cess than that ordinarily used in the manufacture of coins. Highly polished dies are used and are run through the hydraulic press at a much slower rate than is cust omary. This ensures a higher degree of craftsmanship. Some rare coins to be seen in the display are Lincoln mem orial pennies and Roosevelt dimes. The penny is still the coUector’s most popular coin, Kent says.

Hood-Land CofC Names Committees The Hood-Land Chamber of Commerce at their April 16 meet ing appointed a security committee with Roger Fraser as chairman to Inventigate means of getting bet ter police protection for the area. Their ultimate goal will be a resident deputy so that police pro tection will never be more than 15 minutes away from anyone liv ing on the mountain. By no means is this meant to be a criticism of the sheriff’s office, for the chamber is fully aware of his budget problems and the size of his territory. It will be simply an exploration of the problem and an attempt to solve it in cooperation with law enforce ment bodies. The chamber is also appointing a committee to study the scenic no billboard situation on high way 26. Parallel Parking Pinches Business The community of Rhododendron was jolted last week when crews of the state highway department put up new signs along highway 26 through the village. These signs read “Parallel Parking Only.” Business men were given no advance notification of this action. It will severely restrict the num ber of patrons that can be handled on a busy weekend. There Is a twelve foot wide safety strip down the center of the highway. It has been suggested that this be eHminated and a 1 foot high black top divider placed In stead. This would allow for an additional 6 foot safety zone at the edge of the street. Combined with the space now allotted for parallel parking, tills would enable cars to back out of head-in park ing without entering the stream of traffic. It is, at least, a suggestion worthy of consideration by the* highway department. get-up-and-go will still accomp- lish. Loren was born in Saskatoon, Sask., Canada, on June 7, 1923.
