THURSDAY, JAN. 25, 1973 r îw SSÏ n -SÏ r It's O ver...Finally We suppose there should be dancing in the streets with end of the w ar in Viet-Nam. But somehow the peace seems almost anti-climactic. There have been so many rum ors that the real thing seems almost unreal It almost seem s like the w ar always has and always will be with us. Historians will have to record what the w ar did to our nation, to the world. It left scars far beyond those which cover Viet-Nam. It touched us all in one way or another. Let us now pray for the return of prisoners of w ar on both sides, for the reconstruction of Southeast Asia, for reunification of our own nation, for a generation—and more—of peace. W ork Just Begun It looks like the CH2M-HU1 study of the Mt. Hood area has opened thedoor to m ore studies in the mountain area. During the presentation Saturday and in the report itself, it is stated there is a need for more in-depth studies and planning to be done The report recom m ends that each community on the mountain do its own study which could be adapted to the total overall plan for the m oun tain. One of the first steps which should be taken is for each of the com m unities to become fam iliar with the report to see if they agree m ore planning is needed. It is up to the individual m em bers of the Hoodland Planning Group to call m eetings in their community and work with the residents in d eter mining how the comprehensive plan affects their community. The HPG m em bers were elected by the people in their area and now is the most im portant tim e for the m em bers to com m unicate with the people. The HPG and its m em bers will be asked to m ake recommendations on this comprehensive report and the HPG m em bers need to know what the people in their area think. The work of the HPG m em bers has just begun. Regulations Limit D evelopm ent The h e a rin g the S ta te H ealth D epartm ent will hold on the state's subsurface sewage regulations could have a very large im pact on con struction in the Sandy area and the rest of Clackam as County. The Post ran a lead article in the Dec 7, 1972 issue on how these regulations could limit development in the county. In that article, it was stated by a county health official over 170 square miles in the county could be closed to development because of the state regulations governing the subsurface disposal of sewage. These regulations will be discussed at the meeting which is set for Wednesday, Jan. 31, in Portland at the Portland State Office building, room 36, starting at 9 a m. (See story- on page 1.)

Have you heard about the new flag that will fly over the Bull Run watershed’ 1 hear it is a white flag with brown spots on it. It was donated by M r Liggett. I wonder, could this flag possibly be one of his horse diapers’ Nothing like flying it over the watershed Do you think the day will come when somebody like Liggett puts diapers on fish’ If you went to the smelt run and looked at the cute little fish in diapers, slowly swimming up the river sucking their fins, we would not want to catch them ; they were on their way to the w atershed to change th e ir diapers.

M' ” I believe it is time for Clackamas County taxpayen to be informed of some facts pertaining to their budgeted tax dollar and have some questions answered I know that Com missioner Telford has enjoyed attacking others about e x penditures and other actions for the sole purpose of gaining personal publicity The people should know what is really happening Telford'a continued lack of fiscal responsibility has been the damaging facto to the county budget, yet last wek he stated that the budget would be the first m atter he would deal with as chairman of the board I submit to you that the county cannot afford anymore of his kind of "dealing" with the budget Com Telford should explain why he insisted on the approval of the following; (1) Salary increases to approximately 15 employees of the s h eriff's department amounting to more than $50000 00 for the next six months (2) Medical coverage of all employee’s dependents at a coat to the county of ap proximately $70,000 for six months <3) Providing a 610,000 life insurance policy (in ad dition to the existing 64,000 policy) for the sheriff’s of ficers (4) Illegal retroactive pay on Nov 6, to 1972 to 10 clerical em ployees in the sheriff's department in the amount of $4.219 The above salary increases were not approved by the county's Civil Service and are over and above the 5 percent salary increases that were allowed all county employees as of July 1, 1972, also, these extras are not included in the current budget In my opinion, T e lfo rd 's underhanded and back-door tactics underm ined labor negotiations which has resulted in the clobbering of the budget in the middle of the fiscal year SOLID STATF 1973 'SUPER X V-, 2 5 AGIANT-SCREEN lowboy console If s all fime, chop post, chop wood chop ice.
