Pa«« 3 Sandy Post, Sandy, Oregon $2 Annual Subscription April 13. 1967 An Apathetic I oting Public? We w onder som etim es just how m uch good it does to hold public h e a rin g s on school budgets. H alf a dozen h earin g s have been held th is sp rin g in the area. H ere’s th e box score: D am ascus O ther than school o f ficials, board and budget com m ittee m em bers etc., just one person was on hand. O rien t— Not a soul. R eynolds No one. U oring— Ditto. L ynch—One person. Sandy grade Ditto, Sandy h ig h —T hree persons. In m any of these places, they w eren’t talk in g about peanuts , . , Reynolds, for instance, will spend over $3 m illion next year. Obviously, th ere are two w ays to look at th e lack of attendance. One is th at the people a re apathetic, th a t they just don’ t give a darn. T he o th e r is th a t th e people have com plete and u tte r confidence in th e ir schools and don't th in k it's necessary to come out. T he tru th lies som ew here in be tw een. We do th in k the people have co n fidence in th e ir schools and th e way th e y ’re spending tax funds. But on the o th er hand, we th in k people, th e vast m ajo rity of the people, really d on't give a hoot. T he budget h earin g s were ad eq u ate ly publicized ahead of tim e and all th e budgets, in fact, were published. Some persons have com plained th a t not enough detail is shown in th e publications, but the form is th a t prescribed by the legislature. Local school d istric ts m erely follow guide lines laid down in Salem. W hether or not the people do have com plete confidence in th e school budgets will, of course, be show n in th e May 1 elections. Most of them will pass w ithout a ripple. But we do th in k th at some ch an g es should be m ade to get g re a te r pub lic particip atio n in budgeting. Each d istrict has a budget com m ittee which w orks with the a d m in istratio n and board m em bers. But th is is about th e extent of public participation. By th a t tim e th e budget h e a rin g is held, e v ery th in g is pretty m uch cut and dried. P erh ap s h earings could be held e a rlie r, before the budget is in its final form . In Lynch th is year, for instance, a sizable tu rn o u t was on hand for a salary discussion. T h is is th e way it should be. Schools a re just about the biggest business in our a rea. W e'd like to th in k th e people are a bit m ore con cerned about how th e m oney is being spent. Vandalism Continues In National Forests Why do people steal wilder ness registration boxes, de stroy traffic counters and guard rails, shoot locks off gates, or use campground tables for fire wood? Malicious vandalism and thefts continue toplagueNation al Forest managers in Oregon and Washington, a U .S.Forest Service compilation shows. Such acts amounted to ap- proximately $40,000 in replace ment costs in the 19 National Forests of the Pacific North west Region in 1966, according to J . Herbert Stone, Regional Forester. The total is in add ition to costs of regular main tenance, sanitation, and litter cleanup. There were such costly acts as destruction of an unused New Club Formed By Dairy Wives M rs.

Life in Pioneer Sandy lookout tower ($600), damage to a timber sale operator’ s D-7 Cat ($1,075), and destruction of campground toilets ($350). But perhaps more important was the threat to public safety caused by the acts of a few vandals. Examples last year were: reversing of direction al trail signs, removal aflight- ning rods from lookout towers, theft of railroad crossing signs, theft of first aid kits, and broken bottles in swimming areas. In several cases the current vandals or litterbugs paid for their misdeeds, Regional F o r ester Stone pointed out. In one ca se , three youths who de stroyed a toilet were caught, with the help of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and ended up paying the damages. In another instance, a person who dumped garbage in a scen ic spot was traced and later went back and picked up the litter. In still another, youths who painted rocks and trees in a campground had to pay court costs and remove the paint. More people each year are turning to the outdoors for rec reation and enjoyment of nat ural beauty, Stone said, and he urged all users to do their part in preserving the resources of the National Forests.

While thousands cf our Am er ican men are fighting the com munists in Vietnam, our O r e gon Senators, Hatfield and M orse, on March 16, 1967 went on record In support of the Con sular Treaty with the Soviet Union. Don’ t they realize that the communists controlling the Soviet Union have failed to keep most treaty commitments for thirty years? Do our Oregon Senators want our government to do business with the enemy that Is killing our men in V iet nam? If so, they can be d e feated at the polls.
