To the Editor:
Your editorial of June 6,
••The Afflar in Los A ngeles,”
leaves me In somewhat of a
qua til ty . 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.

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

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.

Trixie had a perfect right to

she could get the value of her

Jake learned, too late, that

Dads are good for a lot of things. They mow the lawn
on weekends. They give kids their allowances. Some
times they’ll drive kids to school or pick them up after
a movie on Saturdays. They're good at working tool
And they're good at saving money where it grows
rapidly with complete safety. W e, at our bank, not only
think Dads are good, they're great. Honor your Dad
