But let's not forget Sandy. Toll-free telephone serxiee Iwtween (ir<* sham and Sandy w ill he implemented \o x . I and in getting ready for the change. Tom Kent (local manager for General Telephone) spoke Io the Sandy Chamber of Commerce Tuesday. What he told them underscored some pretty dramatic things happening in Sandy. Specifically Kent told Chamber memlN-rs that General (then West Coast) had 1070 subscribers on its Sandy exchange in 1964. Today, five years later, there are over 1600. This is an increase o f something like 50 percent in just five years. Moreover, the phone company lias sp en t $ 1 .5 m illio n on m ajor construction in the Sandy area in (he same live years, all of it necessitated by grow th id' residential and commercial users. Sandy obviously isn't taking a back seal to anyone in the growth business. The College Keeps Faith Several years ago. I)r. Earl Klapstein, M l. Hood C o m m u n ity C o liege president, said that the College's tax rale would remain somewhere het ween $ 1.50 and $ 2.00 per $ 1,000 of assessed valuation. This was at a lime when some residents of the College district were fearing that they might have loosed a tax-eating monster. I)r. Klapstein promised that once the initial surge was over, taxes would stabilize. For this current year, the rale was $1.35 per $1,000; next year it will he $1.77. Both figures obviously are well within the tolerance level described by I)r. Klapstein. This despite the fact that the College is still in the midst of a major building p ro g ra m . C o n s tru c tio n projects totalling some $2.699,939 arc under way; another $3,015.000 will be awarded by next spring. Beyond that is some $300.000 for advance planning. This includes other buildings, additions to present facilities, an auditorium, a dormitory, stadium and field lighting etc. With well over 6,000 students this fall quarter, the College’s future obviously is assured. Taxpayers should take comfort that none of (his is costing very much money. Peace Must Begin. With the Individual Newspapers have been full of stories lately about why and how we should gel out of \ iet-Nam. But isn’t peace, really, a very individual thing? Sen. Mark Hatfield put the matter very much in context when he told a group at the Pentagon last week that peace must begin with the individual. “'I'oo o ften ” . Sen Hatfield said, “ we speak of world peace as though it were completely unrelated to peace within nations, within communities, within families, and within individuals.” It is entirely inconsistent, we think. A for a person Io urge peace in the world if he is at war with his family, his neighbor or his community. \n d yet this is precisely ^ ‘ ' by many of today's dissenters. They view peace as something which should come to \ iet-Nam very often through the most violent o f means here at home. There is little peaceful in many id' today's dissenter. Peace, as Sen. Hatfield pointed out so very well, is not something you keep in your left pin kel, hut not your right. Peace is not exclusive.
