Miss Carole York, daughter

T h ird V o te Passes
In Fire D istrict
A number o f committees
worked to defeat the special
levy requested by Fire District
10 May 1. The special levy for
$ 3 0 0 ,0 0 0
(o v e r the six
percent) passed however, by a
2653 to 1392 margin.
T h is in fo rm a tio n from
C aptain George Howland,
District public information
officer, was released Monday.
Howland said he would be
interested in clarifying the
information passed out by the
committees working for the
b u d g et d e f e a t . Interested
persons may contact him at
761-7120.
H ow land estimates that
eight percent of the District
v o t e r s tu r n e d o u t fo r
Thursday’s election compared
to four percent in the March
election which was defeated
1070 to 984.
This is how the voting went
by precinct: Station 1, 1500
SE 122, 528 yes and 173 no;
Station 2, 13310 SE Foster,
373 yes, 198 no; Station 3,
13303 NE San Rafael, 628 yes,
220 no; Station 5, 1927 SE
174th, 653 yes and 371, no;
Station 6, 12-Mile Comer, 471
yes 430 no. Four ballots were
invalid.
Thursday’s election marked
the third time that the voters
p assed judgem ent on an
operating levy over the six
percent limitation. In February
and again in March, voters
turned thumbs down on the
board’s request for $425,000
over the six percent limitation.
Many firemen, their wives,
relatives, friends and neighbors
from throughout the District,
worked to get voters out May
1, calling for two weeks in
advance to remind people to
vote and to inform people
about the election.

Multnomah County Farm
Bureau Monday night heard
Wally Johnson o f Yamhill. 2nd
vice president o f Oregon Farm
Bureau, speak on the proposed
sales tax.
He stated that the campaign
to promote this issue is getting
o ff the ground. Johnson said
that some o f the best things in
Oregon are free, but taxes must
be paid to support facilities
and services that we need, and
property taxes are the main
source o f support.
The film shown compared
Oregon with a two legged
stool, namely property tax and
income tax. To balance this,
the other leg would be sales
tax.
The sales tax, as explained,
present fire fighting force.
Funds that were to be used to
hire new men and provide a
one-step pay increase for 117
employees were slashed from
the budget submitted to voters
the first two times.
Despite warm weather this
spring, Multnomah county has
no present plana o f open Blue
L ake Park e a r lie r than
Memorial Day.
The Park, o f course, is open
y e a r -ro u n d but swimming
facilities normally are not
available until the Memorial
Day weekend. Balmy days this
spring had led to rumors the
Park might be opened earlier
but the County Department o f
Parks and Recreation says
otherwise.

ELIZABETH ANNE LUNDBOM (center), Gresham, was chosen as the new dairy princess
for 1969 at the Clackamas County Dairy Princess Contest. Shown with the winner are
(left to right) Brenda Boeckman, 1968 Princess, Judy Baker, runner up in the contest;
Linda Moore, and Diane Brandt. Each of the contestants gave a talk on dairying and dairy
products during the contest which was held at the American Legion Hall, Canby. Miss
Lundbom w ill compete for the title of Oregon Dairy Princess late in June at the Sheraton
Hotel in Portland. The new county princess is 18 years old and is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Daryl Lundbom. The Lundboms operate a Holstein and Jersey dairy near Gresham.
To the Editor:
Recent issues o f the Sandy
P o st have referred to a
contemplated football program
for Mt. Hood Community
College.
In my opinion, the District
taxpayers need this program
like another hole in the head,
and possibly this would also
apply to most o f Mt. Hood
students, and I don’t believe
statements that the program
will be self-liquidating.
I believe in the community
college concept, and have so
far voted for Mt. Hood, but my
interest will change if it follows
the archaic “m e-too” pattern.
I’m sure the Board can sustain
community interest without
the football team.
Sincerely,
Paul M. Sanders
