Support Your Parks
Clackamas County is noted for its
recreational facilities throughout the
state and the nation. If this is to
continue then the county park system
must be kept alive.
A “yes” vote on the special $250,000
park levy on Tuesday will mean that
the county parks will be kept open
during the upcoming year and it also
means that more park lands can be
purchased.
We favor the levy on a one year
basis to keep and improve the county
park system. We also feel that next
year the county budget committee
must realize the importance of the
parks to the people of the county and
see to it that the parks are funded.
If the levy passes it will cost each of
us 18 cents per thousand dollars ac
tual cash valuation.
If the levy fails then the county
parks will close on Oct. 1 and will not
open again until next summer when
more funds become available. This
would be a shame for we here in
Oregon are used to using most of our
parks the year round.

The other businesses which have
opened doors here are Walt’s Feed
Store, Oregon Trail Savings and Loan
and Fussell’s Sharpening Shop.
We feel these firms have added to
the development of the city of Sandy
and look forward to other new
businesses as the city grows.
The Limit on Campaign Expenditures

Just like an iceberg, there ap
parently is a lot more under the
surface on campaign spending than
there is on top.
The Sen. passed its version of the
federal campaign spending bill Aug.
5. One of the provisions was that
federal office seekers were to be
granted the lowest possible unit
advertising rate.
This means that a politician who
runs a 2-inch ad gets the same rate as
a grocery which contracts for a full
page every week, all year long.
C ongressm en who support the
mandatory rate subsidy do it on the
basis that communication between
potential office holders and the voting
public “ may well be of greater im
portance than the usual commercial
transaction.”
However, there a re strong
suspicions that the real reasons lie
deeper. One, according to Ed
Livermore, president of the National
Newspaper Assn., is that Democrats
don’t have as much money as
Republicans. Hence, Democrats are
doing everything they can to cut
campaign costs. This is an entirely
laudable objective as far as the
Democrats are concerned but they’re
doing it with som eone e lse ’s
money . . . i.e., newspapers and the
electronic media.
L iverm ore also ch arg ed th at
Democrats are deliberately writing
as poor a campaign spending bill as
possible, thus forcing a presidential
veto. Then, the D em ocrats can
campaign on the theory that Pres.
Nixon opposes election reforms.
When Robert Kennedy could spend
in excess of $100,000 for a single TV
spot during his campaign for the
Senate from New York, it’s obvious
that some sort of a campaign-spend
ing limit is necessary.
But we just don’t see why the media
must subsidize the politicians.
wanted She w ill tell you that
not nearly enough people come
in to be directed to the jobs
available
When you visited the berry
farm you might have made
some inquiries which would
have helped show you why
people find berry picking a job
of last resort if it is necessary
for them to make a living at it
and support a family. Berry
picking very rarely pays the
equivalent of the minimum
wage In fact, making ten
dollars a day takes much effort
and good berries When the
berries are small and the crop
thin men can make about six
dollars a day The prices for
food and gasoline are the same
for berry pickers as for the rest
of us.
Berry pickers are needed but
it is a fact of life at present that
hardly any berry farms provide
housing This throws the
picking problem mainly to kids,
and adults who can come by car
or berry grower s bus to the
berry fields A mother and her
children may pick for as long as
it takes them to achieve some
special goal such as the ex
penses of a vacation trip and
then quit This sort of thing is
rough on the berry grower
When berry picking can bring
in the equivalent of the
minimum wage or better there
will likely be a plentiful supply
of pickers. When Chavez seeks
to get the minimum wage or as
much as two dollars an hour for
farm laborers and seeks to
protect them from crop
spraying
and insecticide
poisoning, what is wrong with
those goals. Why should the
farm laborer be the low man on
our economic totem pole’’ The
rest of us have the protections
of decent wages, rights to
collective bargaining, unem
ployment insurance, and other
benefits presently denied to
farm labor

Today is a time of reflection,
and the reflection is not a happy
one. for we observe World War
II Memorial Day (Aug 14), a
day set aside in honor of those
bright young men whose lamp
of life was snuffed out on the
beaches of Normandy or at
Dunkirk or in the sands of
Africa or beneath the warm
sunlight of Italy or at Okinawa.

Pole beans were more
plentiful than pickers in East
County as harvest neared a>
peak this week.
Mrs. Lester Johnson, one of
the
few
bean
growers
remaining in the area, said
more pickers could be em
ployed as fine weather aided
harvest activity.
“There used to be a lot of
bean growers out this way,”
she said, “ but they dropped out.
I think we re about the last
ones. There’s just not enough
money in beans any more.”
Prices to growers are about
the same as last year, and I
pickers receive 3 cents a pound
again this season.
