Now the county is preparing to run the Sandy dump only three days. We view this move by the county as the step before closing the dump site completely. Somehow the county and the citizens of this area must work together to find a solution to the waste problems in this area before the Sandy site is closed. To put it mildly, the people of this area will not be happy with the commissioners if they close the Sandy dump and tell the people to travel to Oregon City dump. A Complete Success The July 4 celebration was a complete success and everyone who helped deserves congratulations. Over 5,000 persons attended the day long activities and enjoyed the half hour fireworks display which was the highlight of the program. Members of all civic organizations and all other individuals who helped out did a great job. Next y e ar’s celebration will have a lot to live up to, to meet the success of this one. One group which stands out for their work is the Sandy Civic Ser vices, Inc. This group coordinated the day and spent many hours during the recent months in preparing for the success of this event. We are looking forward to next y ear’s July 4 celebration. Cesar Chavez Comes To Town And how did it look to you, Mr. and Mrs. Oregon, to see your governor with a gun at his head? That’s exactly what happened last week when Cesar Chavez and Co. threatened the governor with un diluted blackmail. It all came about, of course, over a controversial farm labor bill, bitterly opposed by Chavez and friends and ultimately vetoed by the governor. In his first big foray into Oregon, Chavez threatened civil disobedience and a nationwide boycott against Oregon products if the bill became law.

July 2N The Portland group Car* are from the Portland group of the Horseless Carriage This wasn’t necessary, of course, since the governor did veto the bill. This, he said, was because some provisions were “almost certainly unconstitutional.” Farm interests are now bitterly criticizing the governor for making that decision himself, instead of letting the courts decide what is and what is not constitutional. Whatever his rationale in vetoing the bill, the governor’s decision gives the green light to Chevez to extend his iron-handed rule over Oregon agriculture. It isn’t a pretty picture.

There is a real danger that the Hoodland Planning Group w ill be taken over by people more interested in develop ment than the conservation of the environmental resources of the area N a tu ra lly land speculators and developers are very willing to serve on a group like this. They can thus protect and even further their business interests.

OSU names students on spring honor roil happened to many city and county planning commissions and it is public apathy that has let it happen Do not let the Hoodland Planning Group go the same way. There is no reason why fine representative of the land development business should not be on the group but in no circumstance should the chairman of the group have a direct financial stake in the outcome of the planning study now about to get underway.

This courageous teenager had the (pardon the expression) ■'guts" to say what her elders should have been saying a long time ago The school board and the administration of Sandy High had better open their ears and listen to her I have said for years that the people are not voting against the schools and our children—it is against the horrible waste and resulting high taxes There has been a lot wrong with this school for 15 years, that I know of; ever since my children attended school here 1 have been amazed that the same lax administration has gone on, and on. and on. As I have talked to older people here in Sandy about this situation, th e ir answer is usually "we have tried and can't get any co-operation "; or they shrug their shoulders and say: “ What good would it do?" People are too afraid of step ping on someones toes, or endangering their own jobs, or just plain indifferent Well. I'm not; in fact I have been hopping mad for years over all the waste that goes on and my hard-earned dollars have to go to pay for it Wake up everyone! Stop the waste, fire the leeches, and run a taut ship, and no doubt your budget w ill pass with flying colors Laura Kirkw ood.
