JU N E 28. 1973 study made to determine where the signals should be placed, and then for the Highway Commission to place the signals there at state ex pense. A serious traffic situation exists on Highway 26, which does not arise because of the city but because of a monumental volume of traffic on the state highway. This alone is reason enough for the state to bear the cost. The Highway Commission must realize this situation and it would be proper now for the move to signals along with the other improvements being made on Proctor Ave. in the city. Its time to act now, before the situation gets any worse. Cottrell Seeks Budget, Bond Now all area school districts have operating budgets fo r 1973-1974, except C o ttre ll Grade school, following Tuesday’s elections. Cottrell w ill make its bid for a budget tomorrow. Also the district w ill be seeking voter approval on a building bond issue. Like the other school districts, Cottrell needs support of its budget to operate next year and at the same time, the bond issue is of extreme importance to good education in the district. Without approval of the bond issue, the district again w ill be faced with a growing student body which is already too large for the present district facilities. The bond issue w ill meet the immediate need of the d istrict to provide space for its students and it also w ill provide plans for future expansion. The Cottrell area has one of the fastest grow ing populations in Clackamas County and if the district is to meet the needs of these students there must be classroom space. We urge the Cottrell district patrons to vote on F rid a y (tomorrow), your school district needs your support. Sighting in on the Environmentalists Speakers at last weekend's meeting of the Oregon Newspaper Publishers' Assn, were not very kind to the en vironmentalists. In fact, they were dow nright unkind Ed Whelan, dire cto r of the Economic Development Division of the State of Oregon, said the im pending energy crisis «at least as refers to electricity) could be blamed on the e n viro n m e n ta lists. And fu rth e r, he said that it was “ hysteria" which had blocked ex pansion of the Portland Airport. A nother speaker, Thomas R Shepard, form er editor of “ Look’ ’ magazine, was equally hard on the environmentalists and what he called the “ practition ers of new jo u r nalism.’ ’ The latter he defined as one sided writing in which the writer gives only one. slanted set of facts. Whelan predicted that without additional power. 27 per cent of the industry in the Portland area would have to stop by early fall. He said D epartm ent of E n viro n m e n ta l Quality demands upon Reynolds Metals’ Troutdale plant could be met in only one way: Tear down the plant and start over again. The worst possible environment, Whelan said, was “ one which con tributes to unemployment.” His hope is that we can have both a strong economy and an excellent environment Aside from what the speakers said in Seaside, i t ’s obvious that a counter-offensive is being mounted against the environmentalists, a long-overdue offensive. The pen dulum had swung too far in one direction. We can and should have a good environment But i t ’s pretty obvious that we have to have jobs to enjoy the environment. Some of the en vironmental zealots never did see that simple fact. What Reynolds Means What does the Reynolds Metals Co. mean to the Gresham-Troutdale-East County area9 For one thing, it means 760 jobs, a potential of 950 jobs. It means a 1973 payroll of $9.75 million, a potential of $12.2 million. It means payment of $438,580 in property taxes. These figures, of course, do not include other people who make their livelihood, at least in part, by fur nishing goods and services to Reynolds. Based on national averages, the Troutdale p la n t’s employees support roughly 2,800 other workers. The figures take on added significance because of Department of Environmental Quality demands on the 1 routdale plant which cannot possibly be met. Reynolds has spent almost $7 million on environmental controls since it acquired the plant in 1946. Included is $1.5 million on the newest potline. Reynolds has demonstrated repeatedly a w illingness to do anything it can to meet attainable standards. But the standards must be attainable, and there is abundant testimony that those sought by the D E Q are not. Some sort of more reasonable posture by the D.E Q. seems vital. f o «? rr oav One way you can prove your interest is to Buy Savings Bonds R E G U LA R LY . ..AND HOLD ON T H E M ' Celebrate with a extra In terested p arties are reminded, added Fulton, that they may present either written or oral testimony of their views at the hearing In addition, Pay S tation lo i statements and exhibits will be P G I incorporated into the transcript Wnl Cuasi Telephone N o rth w a tl N atural G it of the meeting provided they a re subm itted to Public s a m iv Hearing Administrator South Runway Project, Office of the O "'"M I Director of Aviation, Port of Portland.

Stop and Go in Sandy Do you believe signals are needed in Sandy to help solve the pedestrian-traffic problems which exist on Highway 26? If you do not, then you have not tried to cross either Main St. or P ro cto r Ave. in recent years. Especially on any weekend, dav or night A new effort to get the State High way Commission to put signals in Sandy has begun Sandy resident T. 0. Thompson, who has been working on the project for several years, is leading a letter w riting campaign.
