County helps state kidney fund drive ■Sandy Post _ GREAT W A ¡J ° The Kidney Association of Oregon, in the midst of its current statewide fund drive to raise $150,000 to save the lives of kidney failure victims, has made it more convenient for the public to send contributions to local areas. KAO has Post Office boxes for each of Oregon’s 36 coun ties. Donors may send tax deductible contributions to the Kidney Association of Oregon in care of their local box. The Post Office box for Clackamas county is number 14 Oregon City, Oregon 97045. The Kidney Association is a s ta te w id e o r g a n iz a tio n , providing training, treatment and m edical supplies to O regonians suffering from kidney failure who would die without the service that KAO THE M T.

Something has to give. We suspect that teachers and municipal employees will have to settle for a cost-of-living hike and nothing more. When the voter is being squeezed from every quarter and his own salary is at best sliding sideways, he’s not going to embrace big wage hikes. This is hardly the time for teacher militancy of the type exhibited by Portland teachers who are deman ding the 15 per cent increase plus an $8,000 starting wage. Local school districts presently are entering into salary negotiations. The taxpayers, we’re sure, will be wat ching with interest. The Oregon Education Association, among others, is pushing for a 15 per cent pay hike for its members next year. In the face of the pallid state of the economy, this reads like sheer stupidity. Yet, there is no denying the fact that inflation creeps up about 6 per cent per year and teachers have to pay more for their groceries, just like everyone else. The sam e problem is facing government everywhere. Taxpayers are just not likely to approve fatter budgets, yet budgets unquestionably are going to be fatter because of never-ending inflation. The private sector of the economy is no less troubled. Employees cer tainly deserve pay hikes, yet profits LETTERS ToThe EDITOR To the Editor: portance of holding what they many people in Sandy and the surrounding area, who were If all of the legal voters who have gained. were called and who promised The good people of this willing to be involved We thank them for their generous support to get out and vote had kept Community have already been of the church’s 67th World their word, a man would have talked in to turning down a tax Service Appeal, which closed been elected to the Board of levy to pay for the work done by just before the holidays.

(Post Photo) County, state report traffic death decline Clackamas County reported 52 traffic deaths in 1970 ac cording to tentative figures from the state Motor Vehicles Division which is a decline of three from the 55 deaths recorded in 1969 Oregon’s 1970 traffic death ir i-M e t board gains m em ber from Portland toll decreased 3.3 per cent with 689 deaths reported to the Motor Vehicles Division as of midnight December 31. The toll may be revised if delayed reports are received or if deaths now attributed to traffic are found to be non-traffic. The agency said Oregon’s • d ecline in tra ffic deaths followed a national trend for a lower toll this year. Nationally, deaths declined about two per cent. On a mile-for-mile basis, Oregon appears headed toward its lowest mileage death rate in history. Through October five persons had been killed in each 100 million miles driven and, although the final rate may not be that low it probably will be below the 5.5 figure set in 1969. Single death cra sh es a c counted for three-fourths of the state’s toll. The number of multiple death crashes and the number of people killed in these crashes decreased in 1970 in com parison with 1969. Nevertheless, 175 people were killed in just 74 crashes. The worst accident of the year was recorded late in February when seven people died in a two-car head-on crash in Tillamook county. Two other crashes each claimed five lives during the year and there were Andrew J.

Thirteen counties, most of them in less populated areas of the state, recorded more traffic deaths last year than in 1969, and two counties—Curry and Wheeler—recorded the same number of deaths in both years.

Oregonians who face death because of kidney failure cannot afford the staggering costs involved. The association m ust raise approxim ately $10,000 for each new patient it takes into its program for the first six months. The cost of maintaining the life of each patient every year of their lives is about $4,000. KAO currently has 20 patients throughout the state who are being kept alive on artificial kidney m achines provided through public donations. In addition, the association hopes it can raise enough money to be able to accept at least 12 new patients during 1971.
