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

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. The Na
tional Forests are the play
grounds of millions, and a few
destructive or thoughtless per
sons make the playgrounds
dangerous or unsightly for all.

With passage of the bond issue
in January, the college was able
to make the first step In this
direction.

Dear Editor:
Your "N o te s from Vietnam”
appearing In the March 30th
issue uf the Sandy Post prompts
me to write and express my ap
preciation for this news.
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.
