in story
A sentence in the story
concerning the lodging of a
juvenile in connection with
crimes in the Sandy-Gresham
area was misleading
The l«-yearold juvenile was
taken into custody for the 21
crimes, but he was not charged
by the police in two other
crimes reported in the story
The two other crimes were
the armed robbery of the
Hancock service station and
the burglary of Ron's No Place
Tavern
New Chambers, Agenda/O ld Smoke
It was a pleasure to attend the city
council meeting on Monday night for
two reasons, and for another it was
not.
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.

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

The Making of a Martyr
The summary dismissal of Sen.
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

It would appear that not all
