With the first four paragraphs I have no argument, this has always been a nation of violence. We dfcl not In duce slaves to come to this country by peaceful m eans. We did not move the natives from their homes to the Everglades of Florida or to the desolate and and areas of the west except through violence. Hu man rights or industrial workers were frequently sub dued by methods that cannot be considered other than vio lent. THE M T. HOOD PLA YG R O U N D ’ W alter C.

Sandy. Oregon Page 2 $8.50 $2 50 Salute to MHCC A noteworthy milestone was reached Sunday by Mt. Hood Community College with the ob servance of its First Annual Commencement. The event was noteworthy not only to the seventy-nine grad uating students but toevery r e s ident of the far-flung college district as w ell. The event was note» orthy not simply because it w as the fled - gling college's first such c e r e mony but because it heralds the scores of such commencements and the thousands upon thou sands of such graduates tocome in the years ahead. The event was noteworthy be cause it visibly signified the power of democracy in action - proving what the so-called o r dinary American citizen, act- tng under the enabling laws of state and nation, in conjunc tion with others of sim iliar d e sir e s , can do to accomplish mutually beneficial goals. A little over four years ago, Mt. Hood Community College was only an idea, the dream of a sm all group of local citizen s. Through their efforts, the dream became a reality aid two years ago the college open ed its doors to students. To day, it is helping to enlarge the horizons of the future for many hundreds - tomorrow for many thousands - of district residents. Headed by an outstanding leader, and already staffed by one of the finest faculties in the Northwest, Mt. Hood soon will provide one of the most complete community college facilities in the nation aid also one of the most beautiful. Its contributions now, and in the future, will be of great value not only to the youth of the com - munities it serves but will add immeasurable enrichment to the lives of all who live within its broad scope. So, we salute Mt. Hood Com munity College on its First Annual Commencement,we s a l ute, too, those who gave ltbirth- -the people of all co lo rs, young and old, rich and poor, who had the vision to vote this in valuable institution into beir< and who continue to give it their support. T h ere II ere 428 O thers. Too It is not minimizing the tragedy in Los Angeles one iota to point out that 438 other young Americans had their lives snuffed out last week, too. These were the week’s L’.S. casul- aties in Viet-Nam. Every one of these 438 meant just as much to his family as Robert F. Kennedy did to his. The void left by these 438 is no less unfillable than that left by Robert Kennedy. We can see no logic, no reason, no sense behind the deaths of these 438, either. They were shot down in an alien country, in a war which long since been repudiated by the majority of the American people. The tragedy of these 438 is that the figures are being repeated week after week after dismal week. Al- However, in your fifth para graph you suggest that “ The only possible solution. , .is a return to the religious prin cip les upon which our coun try was founded,” You should w ell know that this country was nut founded upon the principles of C hris tianity as set forth by Jesus Christ. It was founded in i tially on the basis of C hrist's teachings as interpreted by d is sident groups of English and European im m igrants. P e r se cution of witches and sin ners, and political involvement was considered appropriate by many of these groups. Our fa r -s e e ing w riters of the Constitution saw fit to separate Church and State as a result of their ob servations of these ex c esses and abuses. The events of the last few y ears, and particularly the trauma that our people faced during the past week, indicates that the solution is NOT in re turning to the dubious religious principles which you claim this country was founded. I suggest Instead, that the solution lie s nearly two thousand years far ther back - - a return to the basic moral principles se tfo rtf by Jesus Christ, ready, there have been 24,364 deaths among U.S. servicemen in Viet-Nam; another 150,233 have been wounded... up to last week. In the understandable grief over the martrydom of Robert Kennedy, let us not forget the other m artyrs. Their deaths are no less tragic. There are those who say that the eclipse of Britain as a world power stem s directly from World War 1 when the flower of her young manhood was wiped out in Flanders. The interminable conflict in Viet-Nam could do the same thing to us. We must wipe out the conditions which produced the death of Robert F. Kennedy. But we must not relax one minute in our efforts to get out of the morass in Viet-Nam. To be more specific: 1. Accept the teachings of Christ - Buddha - Mohammed. Respect peoples who profess these and other religions. nues that might lead to the creation of a more effective society. Perhaps by going back far enough for inspiration we can continue to move ahead, ihe correct solution will not come easily. Sincerely, I. S. Hartman Saitly, Oregon Editor The Sandy Post Sandy, Oregon You can give some of your rights to other people. Like the right to collect a bill owed to you. But it’s different with your duties. You need your creditor’s OK to assign your debts to another. You can sell what you own, all right, but you can’t shake a debt to your seller merely by getting somebody else to prom ise to pay it for you. Your creditor has something to say about who takes over your obligations. When your cousin, say, bor rows money from you and pro m ises to pay it back, he can’t get out of it simply by p er suading his neighbor to say he will pay you for him. You must agree to let your cousin off the hook, and it takes a written contract to relieve him of the debt. Another example: Suppose you bought Smith’s house on time for $15,000 and had paid off $5,000. With $10,000 left to pay, Jones buys It from you. How do you arrange It? To save the cost of a new loan Jones would probably like to assume the $10,000 debt, give you your $5,000 equity, and then pay Smith your $10,000 debt. Should you do it? Not unless Jones is a good risk. If he skipped town, yes you, would be left holding the bag. Your agreement to have Jones pay the balance does not bind Smith. He can hold you to your original deal. Pay up the $10,000. So don’t let someone ••assume” your loan unless your lender will agree to let you off the hook, or unless you are willing to risk holding the sack. Just becuase your buyer agree to “ assum e” your obligation, doesn’t absolve you. .
