SAN DY. OREGON. T H U R S D A Y , JUNE 21. 1973 School Budgets Need Support It's school budget election time again in the Sandy area Both Sandy High School and Sandy Grade School district w ill be seeking 1973-1947 budgets on Tuesday, June 26 This is the second try for both districts. The high school lost its first budget election 566 No to 503 Yes, while the grade school budget was defeated 361 No to 285 Yes These first elections were held back on May 7 following the defeat of the McCall Tax Plan on May 1. We suspect confusion over the McCall Plan was one of the major reasons leading to the defeat of the two local INSURANCE school budgets. Both school d is tric ts are re submitting to the voters budgets asking for the same amount as was defeated, although a small amount of funds have been transferred in both budgets to meet new expected costs. Approval of these budgets are needed regardless of any future action the current legislature might do to help relieve the school property tax burden. Our schools need money to continue to improve and provide our children with a good education. Whether you support the budgets or not, remember to vote on Tuesday. WE SELL . . .

The friction has resulted in the resigning of several longtime volunteers over conflicts with the fire board and the fire chief. Bob Rathke. Much of the blame for prolonging the situation can be given to the board which at first failed to back the chief or agree with the demands of those who cesxeced. _____ : several raonws and after the internal problems have boiled out into the community, the board has taken the stand to back the chief and the m ajority of the volunteer force, which has backed the chief all along. The board’s position was evident at the recent public hearing on the proposed 1973-1974 budget. The board gave full support to the budget as developed first by Chief Rathke and then revised by the budget committee. The budget is up slightly from the current year’s budget (see story on page 1). It is a budget both Chief Rathke and the board believe w ill improve the fire protection in the district when combined with the new harmony and already approved bond issue. w The Sandy district is one of the largest in the state and also it has one of the fastest growing populations The proposed budget has been developed with this in mind and it will be up to the voters to decide on June 26 whether to support it or not. Remember to vote on the budget at the Sandy fire hall The poll w ill be open from 8 a m. to 8 p.m. Lohman Wins This Round The review of the Clackamas County Planning Department has taken another chapter this week: the battle between chairman Robert Loh man and a group of citizens (See story page 1.) Lohman has been a strong-handed chairman and continuously follows statements by committee members and those testifying with “ that’s good” , “ great” and “ that’s righ t” . He also has the habit of always trying to rephrase the statements made by everyone. The citizens Tuesday night protested this type of chairmanship and also the procedures the com mittee has been using in its review. Lohman won this round by steering a quick vote of confidence without calling for discussion from the other members of the committee. The five other committee members present all voted to support his chairmanship. Following this, several members of the audience in protest walked out of the meeting stating their intentions of withdrawing their cases from the committee. If this is true, then the review of the planning commission w ill be in complete. It is time for the county com missioners to take a good look at the charge they gave this review com mittee six months ago and to get it moving towards that goal or replace it. Employment edges up E m p lo y m e n t in C lackam as County continued to edge up in May Insured unemployment experienced a substantial decline Job opportunity improved in se lected occupations Building perm it data for the county revealed a drop in single fam ily applications, according to the staff of Oregon Employment Division. Manufacturing employment exhibited an upward trend Expanding industries including lumbering, fabricated metals, e le c tric a l eq uip m en t, transp o rtatio n equipment, textiles, and paper added some 75 workers. Small loeses were recorded in the food, furniture, and other durables industries Building perm it values for Clackamas County experienced a decline of nearly SI million in M ay to reach about SB million. The decline was centered in the single fam ily category which was off S2 .6 million. Large m ulti-fam ily projects amounting to SI .8 million and commercial and industrial permits valued at S2 million helped cushion the drop in May. Agricultural employment in Clackamas County showed an upturn at the end of May as strawberry picking started in early Saturday, June 2, to help with the first picking School platoons were generally available starting the first week of June as schools closed Crop and m arket prospects are quite favorable The peak of the harvest is expected around mid-June. The insured jobless rolls experienced a rather sharp drop in M ay There were only «38 claims for unemployment benefits for a week near the end of the month The insured jobless rates for Clackamas County are shown below in comparison with surrounding areas Opportunity for work showed an upturn in some occupations as indicated by orders received in early June The professional and technical field exhibited considerable a c tiv ity w ith openings in d ra ftin g , management, and nursing. Demand for clerical workers appeared to slack off. Students and graduates are-in the m arket for summer and permanent office jobs. Sales orders picked up recently, par ticularly for cashier-checkers, and retail sales clerks. Orders rose sharply for groundskeeper and landscape laborer. The supply of requie of strawberry peckers.
