But now through the Hoodland Planning Group a voice is starting to be heard at the county level. This is why it is important to everyone in the Hoodland area to attend the public meeting being held Thursday, Jan. 28, at 7:30 p.m. in the Welches Grade School. This meeting being sponsored by the Hoodland Planning Group is a chance for the people of Hoodland to get their wants and needs for the future of the area heard by the group which the county is looking to for help in planning the master landuse plan for the Hoodland area. The 15 member planning group is made up of local Hoodland citizens and they are seeking information from their fellow citizens as to what is wanted in the future of the mountain area. From the inform ation a t this meeting the Planning Group will makeup a survey which will be distributed to the people of the mountain area and the results of this survey will hopefully give the group some guidelines to follow as to the future of the mountain area. Com m unity support n e e d e d We commend Sandy Mayor Melvin Haneberg and the Sandy City Council for the foresight they had in getting the city started two years in advance of the 100th year Centennial to be celebrated in 1973. There is a lot of work to be done by all the citizens in the Sandy area to help make this event a big success. The sooner citizens and groups in the area volunteer and start planning for the Centennial the better. One of the important tasks will be the gathering of information of Sandy history and we hope that persons in the community who have Sandy history either through their memory or through pictures will be willing to share these with the history com mittee when it is formed. The most important task that must be first taken care of is the forming of a public steering com mittee which will start the plans in motion for 1973. We feel the clubs in the Sandy area should jump at a chance to help with the Centennial and we at the Post will also do our share. Behind the Senate Deadlock No one has said much about what we suspect is the real reason for the long delay in organizing the State Senate. It’s the fact that the Senate president is next in line should Gov. Tom McCall, for any reason, decide to step down. In other words, the battle over the Senate presidency could be deciding the governorship. All the guessing, of course, centers on the possibility that Gov. McCall may seek a Senate seat in 1971, mid term in his four-year gubernatorial stint. The governor hasn’t said but rumors that he will recur continually. Should the governor resign, the president of the Senate would step up. This, we strongly suspect, is the real reason behind the long Senate deadlock. Neither side wants to take the chance that the next governor could thus be decided.

Here he is explaining the county sheriff's plan for a *1.5 million special levy to new chamber president Tony Bryant. (Post photo) News and Views About Mt. Hood Community College By JIM NORRIS College Inform ation Officer CAMPUS VISITOR One of boxing’s most famous champions of all-time appeared at Mt. Hood last week. But Archie Moore didn’t come to discuss boxing. His purpose: to tell about his youth project, “Any Boy Can.” (ABC) At a press conference, the first question p ertained to boxing and what he thought of to d a y ’s heavyw eight tit’e situation. His response: “Did I come here to talk about boxing?” After thoroughly discussing his youth work, the cagey ring veteran made public his views of boxing and some of today’s boxers. In spending several hours with Moore, we found him as nimble mentally as he ever was on his feet. He is equally at home discussing religion or philosophy as he Is boxing. And what a project he has going! He calls this the greatest fight of his lifetime. That may be true, but we’re betting on the Champ SPEAKERS DUE After hearing about “Success and Failure Factors” from M urray McBride of Lund, McCutcheon, McBride, Inc., members of the Small Business seminars will turn their at tention to “Taxes and Record Keeping."

The Small Business class meets each Wednesday from 7:30 to 10 p.m. Gresham U.S. Bank Branch Manager Doug Meyers moderates the course. Besides the business class, an environmental class is meeting re g u la rly , to discuss en LETTERS ToThe EDITOR To the Editor: Another vital link in the chain of our Eco-system has been removed I am refering to the needless destruction of a Bobcat that was so vividly described on the front page of the January 7 edition of the Sandy Post. Mr. Shaver did not stop to think what an all important role the wildlife of this planet play in the preservation of a life supporting environment that is fast becoming hostile to life of all kinds including man There are a number of animal species that a re now extinct and several more on the verge of extinction The wildlife of this planet is no match for man and his advancing technology— to sight a specific instance, Mr. Shaver’s “trusty 22 rifle” and “flashlight". Mr Shaver cannot be held solely to blame for the d eterioratio n of our en vironment though His was just one act out of millions com mitted everyday by the human ra c e . The introduction of pesticides and herbicides into the environm ent, th e con struction of each new freeway, the manufacture of each new gasoline engine, and the an- n ilation of vegetation for economic expansion are just a few of the factors that are reducing our home, Mother E a rth , to a hostile en vironment Our home, Mother Earth, m oves through the vast universe toward an unknown destination or end One thing is for certain: if life on earth is to be preserved till that end, then revolutionary changes are going to have to be made in m ankinds blind social and e c o n o m ic e x p a n s io n . Population control is the first step. Can we think of some others? In many areas of the world today our air isn't fit to breath, our water isn’t fit to swim in, and the worlds oceans are becoming cesspools for toxic wastes Come on llomosapiens. let us forget the almighty dollar and think of some ways to halt the already approaching ex tinction of life from this planet. You may chuckle if you read this but people undoubtedly roared with laughter when Columbus proclaimed the earth round Kenneth M Miller P.O. Box 464 Sandy, Oregon To the Editor. Do we believe that man has the right to destroy life? Why do some men work so hard to do this9 Now his own kind will be next, mankind We may not believe that we are contributing to our own destruction but I feel most of us are doing just that. Who con trib u tes to the worlds destruction9 Those who kill and pollute without thought or reason, and the rest of us who feel we do our part by keeping our yards clean and returning pop bottles There is nothing wrong with this but we need to do more. We sit back and see what is going on in the world Then we feel badly for a passing moment and then forget about the world’s problems. We may think, “What can I do? I am but one person. How can I fight the many spoilers of this earth?” How many of us feel this way? I>et’s get together and fight Fight those that destroy our earth, fight with the greatest of all weapons, that of love! How long can we sit and watch our children's future be cut short just as sure as we are killing off our wildlife9 Man interferes with the balance of nature through pollution and taking land away from wildlife for his own use We must do something about our growing population Man must blame himself. There is no other c re a tu re who destroys the balance of nature that his own kind may live better Can we tru ly blam e the younger generation for being skeptical Try, to look at our world and its environm ent from the c h ild 's point of view We parents didn't make the total mess but are we trying to undo the wrong that has been done? Do we care enough to become involved9 Have we already gone to fa r9 What can we do9 Lets find out and then do it. I believe if everyone who c a re s would work and pray we will be able to save our world and its wildlife for our children But we must act today not tomorrow! Join those already working tow ard this goal: lim it population growth, write let te rs, read and understand (understand life by learning to love life)! Let’s join together in love that our children (all children) may be given a chance to live. Everything born has that right. We have no right to take that life and destroy it through thoughtless actions or apathy. The right to say what lives or dies belongs to the creator of all life, God! Sue Hanson le tte r To The E ditor: In regard to the cable service in the Hoodland area. Well, it’s better than none. During the Spring, Summer and Fall there doesn’t seem to be complaints, as to the type of service However, when W inter com es, it is a different situation The weather is more servere and the elements also have some affect on the reception. W inter brings m any changes—our electricity goes out which obviously has an affect on the Cable TV service; which could mean that one end of the mountain has electricity and the other is without Each time this happens, the ser viceman has to start at the top and work his way to each point of connection to be sure that the fuses and etc. are in working condition or replace ones that have blown This takes time. Also, if the electric service is not working at the main plant then reception is nil at the other end Our other inconveniences; the mail is later than usual, electric service goes out and we seem to try to understand these circum stances and accept vironmental problems facing both the state and national levels.Each Monday from 7 to 9 p.m. the class meets to discuss a pertinent topic. The public is welcome to attend free of charge. On Jan. 25, the topic will be “ P a rk s and W ilderness A reas.” M arvin G uidry, Bureau of Land Management, will lead this sem inar discussing developments in the Rogue River area. R epresentatives of the National Forest Service will also discuss national parks and wilderness areas in the Pacific Northwest. EVENTS PLANNED Two events, which will take place on the Mt.
