Security Steps Needed
The new security programs an­
nounced this week by the Sandy
Police Department are a welcome
addition to the police protection in the
city. (See page 1.)
The business community especially
welcomes the security program and
hopefully those businesses which
need to improve their security will
follow the recommendations of the
police.
As the gasoline shortage continues
we imagine a greater number of
bicycles will be in demand not just by
students, but also by local residents.
The bicycle registration program is
one which has been needed for
several years.
Another program which ir needed
by the business community is a “bad
check list.”
Currently there is no direct com­
munications from businesses in the
community concerning the bad
checks which are passed. This is the
time of season when the bad checks
seem to be most frequent and a good
time to start such a list.
The Sandy Area Chamber of
Commerce needs to develop with
guidance of the city police such a list
of passers of bad checks. This list
could be updated each month and
circulated to all the stores in Sandy.
Plus, the police could have the list to
check during the investigation of
persons.
The sooner such a list could be
established the better for businesses
in Sandy.
Put Planners on Spot
A trek down to watch our
Gackamas County Planning Com­
mission in action this week brought
up some meeting procedures which
we feel the planners should consider
XUl CAVtVS|SVAXSAA.
1) Since the planners are unwilling
to bring issues which concern citizens
living outside the Oregon City area to
thqri, then why not schedule the
agenda to help those, like us, who
must travel a long distance to these
meetings.
A good way to do this would be to
have the issues which concern
citizens who must come the longest
way be first on the agenda. This
would allow the peple to get home
before 1 a.m.
2) Instead of having open discussion
at the end of the meeting which is
usually around midnight, why not
have it scheduled at the beginning to
let the citizens know if the subject will
be discussed at that meeting or
placed on a later agenda. -
3) The planners need to hold work
session meetings to take care of in­
house business, instead of cluttering
up the first part of the regular
planning meetings. This along with
“extra” talking and joking on issues
help prolong the current planning
sessions and turn them into a waiting
game to see who will leave first, the
planners or the citizens.
4) Each commissioner needs to be
put on the spot on each vote. This
calls for a roll call vote to be taken on
each issue so everyone knows who
voted on what and how. Right now the
commission members just raise their
hands for voting.
If the commission is to give the
county good planning, we think these
ideas could help achieve this goal.
Right Decision
The Clackamas County Planning
Commission made the right decision
Tuesday night to deny the Cedar
Ridge developers a conditional use
permit.
It was apparent at the hearing not
enough information on the planned
development was available for any
other decision to be rendered.
The lawyer representing the
developers Himount Land, Inc. even
admitted this in his presentation. So
the outcome should have been of no
surprise to the developers.
But one key point was raised and
should be considered further by the
planning commission, local residents
and the current Interagency Planning
Study of the whole Mt. Hood area.
This point is, should development
when it comes to the mountain area
be done so in clusters and-or a
planned community approach.
“Then if something goes wrong,
Congress can complain.”
Our theory of government
presum es equal power between
executive, legislative and judicial
branches. Every president from
Franklin Roosevelt on down has
usurped Congressional power.
But it required a remarkably
complaisant Congress for this to
happen.
Congress must share its full share
of criticism for the energy crisis,
shortages, duplicity in high places,
etc. If Congress had been doing its job
right along, instead of ducking and
avoiding the issues, things might
today be much different.
Congress is elected to do more than
just complain.

More than 85 junior high
school students participated in
an
energy

symposium conducted on
campus Friday. Bill Wright,
college director of community
services, noted that some 14

were
represented at the nearly five-
hour long gathering.
Wright explained that the
students came up with num­
erous proposals for energy
conservation not only in their
LETTERS
People Who Live in Glass Houses Etc.
Congressmen of all shapes, sizes
and persuasions have had a field day
lately at the expense of Pres. Nixon
and friends, blaming them for vir­
tually everything.
Contrariwise, we think Congress
should take a long look at itself. That
body must shoulder a good share of
the blame for whatever ills assail us.
Congress, ever since the days of
Franklin D. Roosevelt, has been
growing more and more impotent.
The present Congress, to borrow a
term coined by Harry Truman, is the
worst “do-nothing” bunch yet.
This thought certainly isn’t original
with us. Commenting over a Portland
TV station Sunday night, Sen. Bob
Packwood said “Congress just won’t
do anything. They try to shove
everything off onto the President.

Kathy Adskin found a little
lost dog and was so nice to put it

To the Editor:
We are quite disturbed after
finding out the other day about
how strongly the theory of
evolution is being taught to our
children in the upper grades.
There was quite a furor
caused by a few because of a
religious assembly being held
at Sandy High. Now it’s time
for Christian parents to stand
up and be heard.
Because
of
parental
pressure, certain schools in
California gave equal time to
the Bible’s story of God-created
beings. S cientific textbooks
concerning this subject were
written by Dr. John Moore and
