W e in America represent only 6% of the world population.
Figured in percentages, we have these approximate figure* for
every 1000 people on earth. 60 people are American*. 940
people represent the rest of the world. The 60 American* re
ceive ONE HALF the world's income,- the 940 non-American*
receive the other half. The LOWEST income group in the 60
Americans would be far above the average income of the 940
non-Americans. The 60 American* have an average life ex
pectancy of 70 . . . the 940 non-Americans would average less
than 40. The 60 Americans consume 15% of the world's food
supply. The 60 American* have 12 times as much electricity
. . . 22 times a* much coal . . . 21 time* a* much oil . . .
50 times as much steel . . . 50 time* as much general equip
ment (industrial and home) . . . The comparison* are endless.
When you give thanks to God for your individual blessing*
at Thanksgiving wouldn't it be fitting to express gratitude to
Him for His numberless mercies — and especially for Hi* placing
you in the group of 60?

MT. VIEW WATER DISTRICT
BOND REFERENDUM
Dear Friends and Neighbors:
On December 1st we will have the opportunity to vote “ Yes”
or "N o" on a bond issue of *7 50,000 to finance the
construction of pipelines, water towers, and pump* for the Mt.
View Water District. Voting takes place at Cottrell School on
Bluff Road, 8 A.M . to 8 P.M.
The bonds will be retired over a period of 30 year* by tax
assessment* of *5 .4 0 (est.) per »1000 of assessed valuation for
each landowner regardless of whether he plans to hook Into the
system or not. For example: A homestead vaued for tax
ourooses at »20,000 would be assessed an extra »108 per year.
Should the »750,000 not be sufficient to cover construction
costs then special assessments could be levied. Interest could run
your cost to »7.00 or a little more per »1000 assessed
valuation-and your valuation will be increased next year.
We think that you may be asking yourself some of the
question* listed below and that the answers will help you
determine how you vote on December 1st.
1
Your fire Insurance saving: will be very negligable according
to our insurance writer. To get a better fire insurance rate, we
would need a fully paid fire department.
2
Officers of the water district have announced that there will
be a fee of »125 to hook on to the system and a minlmun fee of
»5.00 per month for water user*. Are these the only costs’
3
What would It cost me to run a lWr" or 2 ” water line from
my house to the public road near or far side? Plus meter? You
pay that.
4.
Do I need a new water supply?
5.
If I 0o not need a new water supply do I wish to be taxed
to pay for a new water supply for other people?
6
If I do need a better water supply could I have a well drilled
for less than the total cost* of tax assessments, hooking on,
laying a line to the public road, and paying the minimum or
more fee for water plus meter?
7
If real estate developer* get a water district, how long will it
be before we are paying for a sewage system, new roads, new
8.
We respectfully urge you to vote “N 1 on D ecem ber 1st.
No matching funds

representing the local school
board, attended on Wednesday,
and Mrs. Ralph Hames. school
clerk went to some of Friday’s
sessions.
Nov. 17-21 was an exciting
week for the pupils of Sandy
Elementary School as it was
the week of the 23rd annual
hot rod race. The usual interest
was evident as the boys and
girls worked on their cars and
transformed the gym into a
race track. Teachers acted as
timers, judges, and announcers.
Queen Patty Griffiths and
princesses Mary Jo Ashton,
G le n d a W illiam s, Vona
Brinkley, and Donna O’Niel
reigned over the festivities.
The winners of the Jet race
were Tim Frasier and his
partner, Gary Buhler; Time: 5
min. 28 sec. Second place was
Mike Blakeley with Mark
Shearmen assisting; time: 6:02:
third Steve Salisbury with Eric
Lundeen: time: 6:10; fourth,
Gary Moody with Duane
Boswell; time time: 6:28.
The Ramp race winner was
Steve Salisbury. The beauty
contest was won by Tim
Frasier for his plastic model
and Frank Van Beek with his
wooden model. High Point

Another current source of oil
pollution whose evidence can
be seen on Oregon's beaches on
occasion, is indiscrim inate
pumping of bilges by ships at
sea. In fact one such ship
pumped its stinking oily bilges
recently right in the Portland
harbor area of the Willamette. I
have seen oil killed Murres
littering an Oregon Beach at a
frequency of one every 20 feet
after an offshore bilge pumping
by a freighter. These Murres,
as well as many other species
of sea bird, spend a good deal of
time sitting on the water sur
face between dives for fish.
Once overtaken by an oil slick,
they have no chance for
recovery. Their oil saturated
feathers not only are rendered
futile for flight, the insultating
quality of their down is
likewise destroyed, they are
less bouyant, and in general
they becom e completely
incapacitated.
In surveying the entire
picture of oil pollution of our
ocean waters, it seems evident
to me that stricter regulations,
stiffer penalties for violation,
and some sensible confining of
the risks of loss are extremely
necessary if we are not to
suffer some catastrophe such as
I have outlined above. Or shall
we just sit by and let the
chenical insecticides destroy
our fresh water ecology, and
let oil take the salt?

populations to be found in the
entire world. This population is
not only numerous in number,
but also in number of species
represented. Brunnich’s Murre
and Black Guillemot; Dovekie
and Tern; Puffins and Auklets;
Jaegers and Gulls; these are
just a few of the populous
species indigenous to the area.
The incredible food supply of
the Labrador current is the
foundation of this avian
multitude.
On the Mammal side of the
ledger there is Walrus and
Polar Bear; five species of
seal; and two common species
of whale concentrated in this
current. All these species of
Mammal are constant users of
the water’s surface.
We have established an
enormous population of birds
and m am m als within the
confines of this current. The
human population which
borders this current depend on
the m aintenacance of this
population for survival. This is
their total food supply. The
source of their clothing and
many, if not most, of their tools
and other necessities.
If just one of the giant
tankers perished in the ice
while laden with crude oil,
within one to three years, this
oil would have drifted out of the
pack into this current where it
would be spread over the
s u r f a c e a n d h a s te n e d l
southward to spread total
annihilation to all the sea birds
and surface mammals over
many thousands of square
miles of productive sea.
The seabirds are completely
helpless once their feathers
become coated with oil. They
cannot fly or dive effectively to
get food. They are too far from
shore in a good many cases to
swim that far, and with no food,
starve anyway, if the oil
coating on their bodies doesn’t
kill them first.
The whales and seals would
be unable to come to the sur
face to breathe, which they
must do or suffocate. The
northern sea ducks such as the
several species of Eider, the
Harlequin, the Old Squaw, and
the several Scoters would all be
doomed. Such a mass ex
tinction of species would be
unparalleled in the known
history of the world. There are
other cold currents out of the
Arctic not as spectacular as the
Labrador current, but of
similar makeup which could
suffer the same fate. Any of
these if burdened with a
massive film of crude oil, would
carry like destruction far into
the temperate zone. Once set
free on the water surface,
crude oil has yet to yield to
control measures.

Whereas the chemical
poisons such as DDT are a
major pollutant of fresh waters
everywhere, in our seas and
oceans the villian arises in
different guise. This insidious
threat to our total environment
is OIL POLLUTION!
To deal in very round
numbers, the United States has
a population of approximately
two million people. With all the
bays, capes, gulfs, promon
tories, etc taken into con
sideration, we have, also ap
proximately, 10,000 miles of
Ocean shoreline. This figures
out to be 20,000 people per mile
of shoreline. But half this
shoreline is rocks, cliffs,
marches, and other unusable
types, which leaves us with
40000 people per mile of beach,
that is, if all the people desired
to go to the beach. This being
the case; the one single ac
cident in an offshore drilling rig
committed off the California
Coast this last year deprived 32
million Americans of their
beach rights, unless they wish
to exercise those rights on oil
blackened sands strewn with
the oil sodden bodies of dead
sea birds.
England’s beaches have not
recovered yet from the oil
coating they recieved in 1968
when a giant tanker broke up
on the rocks off her coast.
Tankers have been plying the
sea lanes for some time, and,
except in the case of wartime,
not too many have been lost,
and the bulk of these far from
shore. But the sheer size and
volume of cargo carried in
these newest super tankers is
another threat. It would only
take one such incident in
volving one of these giants
laden with crude oil off either of
our major coasts to reduce the
entire coastline to a biological
desert.
The recent exploits of a
tanker in the waters of the
Arctic have made the headlines
as she successfully forced her
way through the ice pack to
negotiate the Northwest
Passage. Based on this ship’s
successful transit through the
treacherous ice fields, the plan
is now to take out via this route,
the production of the Arctic oil
fields so recently discovered.
It has not been an uncommon
occurrence in the past for
powerful ships to become
locked in the frozen grip of the
pack. Neither has it been too
uncommon for ships, trapped in
the pack, to be crushed by the
enormous pressures created in
the pack. What would be the
consequences were this to
happen to an oil filled tanker in
the vicinity of Baffin Island or
Northampton Island, nay say
anyplace in the Arctic basin?
Any given portion of the Arctic
ice pack, because of the Arctic
drift would eventually arrive at
open water where one of the
great south flowing Arctic
currents carries it away.
The Labrador current is a
high volume, fast flowing
current of cold Arctic waters.
This river in the sea sweeps
southward along the East coast
of Canada. The flow between
the mainland and Greenland is
m ainly com prised of this
current, rich in nutrients and
minerals.
