The pleasures came because the council was meeting in the council chambers downstairs for the first time and because an agenda was available. Since the city hall was built in 1969 the council has been meeting in a makeshift council chambers in the upstairs part of the building. The new chambers downstairs are not yet complete, but the work which has already been done helps lend a more business-like atmosphere to the council meetings. Also for the first time in our 21? years of attending council meetings, an agenda was available for both the council members and members of theaudiance. (Although, it did prove to be too long for this one meeting and an adjourned meeting had to be scheduled.) The unpleasant note about the meeting was the smoke-filled room . We know of at least one member of the audience who had to retire from the meeting because as he said ’‘the smoke is getting to m e.” As we have stated in the past, we are not against smoking, but feel it whould be done with a "smoke break” rather than all through the meeting. This break would prove to be a nice recess not only for those wishing to light up. but also, for those wishing to stretch their legs. The council meetings are famous for lasting from four to five hours and an occasional break is needed. The Religion Question Was the assembly at Sandy high school a com pulsory religious program and were the three staff members fired or released because they signed a petition stating their beliefs on the issue? These questions have been very much on the mind of area residents the past week. In our investigation of the matter, we'*|ind the administration at the high school was lax in its reviewing policy towards outside material coming in for assemblies. But it was not a definite attempt to offer a compulsory religious program The district administration has assured its patrons that steps are now being taken to make sure a sim ilar situation will not happen again. Also the district has a policy which does not make assemblies compulsory for students. If they wish, a student may not attend an assembly, but is required to remain in school at a designated area for a study hall. On the question of the releasing of three staff m em b ers, su p erin tendent Joe DeMarsh in his letter to the Post has stated the district supports the right of staff m embers and students to voice their opinions. DeMarsh said the district released a teacher wishing to resign; let a teacher’s aid go in a program which is to be dropped: and the other was a substitute teacher and not a per manent staff m ember.

EdSteubs Star Route. Box 151 Wemme, Oregon To the Editor: Senate B ill 101 as now wntten will eliminate the small farms in Oregon which are now taxed under the existing “Greenbelt” law. The corporate and the million-dollar farm er will be the only farmers left in this state The man operating a small fam ily farm and the man supplementing his retirement benefits with the income from a small farm will be taxed out of existence. He w ill have to declare that his lands will always be used for agricultural purposes—this means in p e rp e tu ity —w h ile the large corporate farm er sits under the shade of this c reated tax shelter A system must be worked out to preserve our farm lands in Oregon and also our high producing forest lands, the latter which this bill does not even consider But we should not deny the man with a lower people. He cannot be faulted for wanting full and thorough hearings on such a revolutionary change in tax practice. There are those, incidentally, who feel that the whole affair is pure politics. The theory goes like this: Boe wants a tax plan referred in a hurry, a tax plan that the people will reject Once the people have scuttled the McCall plan the Democrats can mount their white chargers and gallop to the rescue. Any political fall-out will be on the head of Gov, McCall. "After all", the theory goes, “ It was his plan." Whatever the motives, Boe may make a m artyr out of Sen. Cook. Cook was on solid constitutional grounds in slowing things down. His dismissal gives us much less confidence that a rational tax plan will come out of Salem For the third time in recent weeks burglars entered Rock wood Rexall Drugs, according to sheriff's reports The most recent b u rg la ry occurred Saturday night, March 3 Six packages of codeine and morphine based drugs were taken, the report slates No value on the items was listed Entry to the building was gained through a roof vent, the report states income his ngnt to a decent living without having to go on welfare E v e ry o n e who is now operating a small farm should contact his Senator or more particularly Senator Vernon Cook, who is the Chairman of the Senate Revenue Committee and taking testimony on this bill Dick Wilmot 1826 Kaen Road Oregon City, Oregon 97045 To the Editor Almost weekly, the Sandy Po6t, publishes one of Pete Sulzbach's letters berating our own country and singing praises for our enemies I ’m afraid Pete Sulzbach is what they called a "knee-jerk- liberal” back in the 1960’s In other words, a person who reacts predictably to every possible situatio n M ore dogmatic than any church in (lie m iddle agto anU*m oW narrow-minded than a minor fu n c tio n a ry in a L a tin American m ilitary regime TTie oTIly w ay to judge communism is to study its past history and anyone who does will find it to be a low-keyed form of Nazism, using murder and terror as a means of ex pansion Viet Nam was an attempt to stop this expansion and was handled like one big “ fiasco", and we lost the war because of constant blunders and all the help the Communists received in the United States But it wasn’t wrong to try.

Vern Cook as chairman of the Senate Revenue Committee may cause all sorts of ripples. Senate Pres. Jason Boe sacked Cook because of what he (Boe) considered inordinate delay in getting Gov. Tom McCall’s tax plan to the Senate. The plan had sailed through the House but was bogged down in Cook's Revenue committee. Cook not only felt the governor’s plan had many bad features, but also had grave con stitutional problems. Boe apparently seeks to sweep these aside. The Post agrees with Sen. Cook that the governor’s plan has many obvious shortcomings. It would create a one-legged tax stool (the income tax) and many people feel this is fiscally unsound Cook’s stand makes sense to a lot of Drugstore entered COW POKES LETTERS ToThe EDITOR To the E ditor: This letter is intended as a means to keep you informed on a m atter that has received considerable debate in our co m m u n ity and heavy coverage by the regional press T his question: A re co m pulsory religious programs or general religious events being shown to our student body?
