The study being made is important to protect the Sandy River for future generations and it needs your sup port at the meeting. Sandy Post Should a 12-mile stretch of the Sandy River be placed under the protective Scenic Waterways Act? This question is very important to the residents of this area and to the many thousands of users of the River. The meeting tonight at Sandy Grade School will discuss this issue. The meeting starts at 7:30. The Post has helped publicize the + McGovern Will Be No Pushover The controversial views of George McGovern have led some political experts to predict he'll be easy pickings for Richard Nixon come November. We don't think so. A lot of people in the USA today are unhappy about a lot of things, and inevitably, this dissatisfaction is shouldered by the incumbent. McGovern is a shrewd enough politician to capitalize on the war in Viet-Nam, on the still-struggling economy, on the ITT affair, on whatever mistakes Nixon has made Nixon, on the other hand, largely must defend It's a great deal easier to attack then to defend McGovern made an early tactical error with some poor arithmetic on his tax proposals One day. he said they'd cost $27 million. He refigured and admitted to $60 million. Wilbur Mills says more likely $69 million However, his advisors will surely gloss over those aberrations in the weeks ahead. Nixon may well beat McGovern; that remains to be seen. But we think the contest is going to be a lot closer than the politicians are now saying. No Remedy for the Problem The Farm Bureau initiative which Seeks to remove property taxes as a fcasis for support of public schools simply is not the solution to soaring taxes. The initiative, if approved, would remove the financial support for schools without providing any alternative. You can’t run schools on hot air or blue sky; they need money. The initiative doesn’t speak to that problem. Moreover, home-owners would get only a minor share of the relief thus provided. Business and industry pay about two-thirds of property taxes and obviously would get the most relief Property taxes are too high and the W E A TH ER H L Pr.

The men do not go home because it rains and they don't want to get wet, but because the grade gets too soft for the heavy equipment and there isn’t one man that wouldn't love to be em ployed the year around As soon as this project is initiative is attractive politically. It may well be approved. But if it is, someone is going to have to come up with a solution for school financing . . . and soon. The initiative measure doesn’t. Approval of the initiative obviously would force the legislature to im mediate action. Some sort of new tax would be mandatory. But unfortunately, the only two available routes would be a sales tax or a sharply increased income tax These probably are no more palatable than the property tax to most tax payers. Scuttling the property tax doesn’t answer the problem for Seniors T ri-M e t has authorized reduced bus fares for senior citizens during all hours buses operate in the three counties Honored C itizen passes, allowing those over 65 to ride for fares 10 cents below the regular fare, will be honored at all times effective Aug 14 Just keep your fingers crossed and I hope this explains some of the conditions, working and driving, that come along with progress June J DeMain An accident involving a pick Brightwood up truck and a Volkswagen A Construction Wife o c cured early Tuesday m or ning east of Boring on Highway Dear Sir: Jeannette and 1 would like to 211 A C lackam as County express our g ra titu d e and appreciation to the Sandy Fire sheriff’s deputy reported that Department for the fast and the driver of the Volkswagen efficient manner in which they apparently was attempting to handled the fire in our home make a left turn into a last week Because of their driveway when the collision e ffo rts the dam age was occurred The driver of the pick-up minimal to the house and furnishings and we are very escaped injury, but a woman and her 11-year-old son in the grateful other vehicle were taken to a Sincerely, local hospital for observation Robert O Williams with minor injuries Accident reported GOP than to their own party. What would make more sense, politically, than for a sort of coalition ticket, Nixon and Connolly running together? There are even those who say Connolly would not have to give up his identity as a Democrat under such a plan. Many D em ocrats are deeply disturbed over the McGovern can didacy and they might very easily embrace a Nixon-Connolly ticket. Politics do, indeed, make strange bedfellows and the prospect of a lifelong Democrat on the Republican ticket is no pipe dream. Try It, You 'll Like It Sunday is the morning to take your family out for breakfast. The Sandy Kiwanis are sponsoring their 15th annual fly-in breakfast at Rich’s Airport starting at 7:30 a m. The affair features a great break fast and a fine display of small airplanes. Also airplane rides are available during the day for a reasonable charge. The pilots flying here for the affair will be donating their own time to help the Kiwanis out in their fund raising. It’s a fun event, and you get a good meal. See you there.

George McGovern makes more likely, it seems to us, a Nixon- Connolly ticket for the Republicans in November Rumors have floated for many months that Vice-Pres. Agnew might be replaced Pres Nixon obviously would do nothing to confirm these reports But McGovern’s presence on the Democratic ticket changes the pic ture.
