OREGON. TH U R S D A Y , JUNE 7, 1973 Better Notice Needed We wonder if the Oregon Education Association investigation of problems at Sandy High School was to be a secret. The OEA held an investigation at the request of several teachers in the d is tric t last weekend. The in vestigation was to be public, but adequate notice was not given to the local citizens about it. The OEA had originally scheduled an investigation over the Memorial weekend, but cancelled it. The Post contacted the OEA local represen tative Clark Peters concerning the investigation and he indicated no knowledge of when it would be re scheduled. Then on Thursday, the day after APPLY NOW press time for the Post, the OEA suddenly decides to inform the Post the investigation is on for the weekend Obviously it was too late for the Post, and even though the daily papers carried the press release we w onder how many of our local citizens knew of the investigation. To top it all, the OEA made local persons call long distance to Tigard if they wished to schedule an ap pointment with the investigation committee when it met in Sandy We believe the OEA has an im portant role to service the needs of education and the teachers, but let's be more open when holding an in vestigation Plan Needs Public Input The next meeting on the city of Sandy’s comprehensive plan has been set for June 19, 7:30 p.m., city hall. The planning committee is anxious for a large public turnout at this meeting sim ilar to the turnout at the last meeting on May 22. At the May meeting, over 50 per- sons turned out to discuss the plan with the committee. Public input is essential to a good plan. The meeting June 19 is a chance for the public to have its say in the plan. Be sure to attend. The Swim of Things The Centennial Swim-A-Thon is proving to be one of the highlights so far of this Centennial year in Sandy. Friday evening w ill be the big part of the swim as the Blue Marlin Aquatic Club swimmers will com plete the 100th hour at 6 p.m. The swim has done more than just raise money for both swimming and the Centennial, it also has brought many persons in contact with the swim program who have never before been involved SANDY HIGH school superintendent Joe DeMarsh. right, looks over blue prints of expansion plan« at the high school with district clerk Willard Boring.

The Board of Directors of the F ire District by their adoption of new rules and regulations have centralized too much power and authority in the Chief. 2. Complaints to the Board over the past months have not been resolved nor meaningfully acknowledged 3. The Board has refused to be conciliatory on any of the issues raised nor have they offered to compromise on any points 4 There has been an unwise and imprudent expenditure of District funds without adequate explanation to the taxpaying public of the District. 5.

And the testimony of the most vocal opponents during the floor debate did nothing to explain their stand Fortunately, we were able to salvage the bill by having it returned to the House Con sumer and Business Affairs Committee We expect to see it again soon with a few minor technical amendments As the Oregon Legislature entered its sixth month, both houses continue to face heavy workloads. In finishing its 20th week of d e lib e ra tio n s , the legislature proposed a new tax relief plan, passed two traffic safety measures, acted on a unit pricin g proposal, and concluded other business. Eight bills constitute a new tax relief plan which has been prepared by a special House Tax Committee and is now making its way through the legislative process. The Senate has passed and sent to the Governor a bill to p ro hib it opened bottles of liquor, wine or beer in motor vehicles A consumer bill was returned to committee by the House early this week The measure requires grocers to price food by unit of weight The b ill was returned because many legislators felt it wouldn’t resolve the problems of deceiving the consumer by labelling products as regular, giant and super They brought samples of products where the large size actually cost more per unit of weight than the smaller size The House unanim ously approved and sent to the Senate a bill requiring most govern ment records to be open to the public.
