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-

To the Editor
Thank-you Rena M cK ay.
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. (Just in fun)

To the Editor
The following is to inform you
that the Volunteer Organization
of the Sandy Volunteer Fire
Department has officially gone
on record as opposing the
Central Dispatch proposal of
Chief Rathke Our secret ballot
vote was 26 no. 8 yes, with Chief
Rathke not voting
Notwithstanding the fact that
Chief Rathke explained the
proposal very well and offered
some very plausible reasons for
the combined operation; it was
the feeling of the majority that
partial closure of the station,
(Continued on Page 10)
uncertainty of future custs and
possible future consolidations
outweighed the advantages of
this proposal at this time
Thanking you for your kind

” 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
