These people feel his guilt long since has been established and he should either resign or be impeached. (b) The Don’t-fire-Nixon camp. These people feel the Democratic- liberal-media axis is trying to do som ething w ith W ate rg a te they couldn’t accomplish at the polls. Nixon should stay, especially in view jf his adm itted accomplishments in foreign affairs. (c) The Let’s-wait-and-see camp. These people simply don’t feel that the evidence is all in, that until Nixon is c h arg ed and convicted of something, he’s innocent. (d) The C o u n try -can ’t-stand-it camp. These people think while there may have been hanky-panky, the traum a resulting from a presidential ouster could well ruin the country. We would say that Camps b and c are getting smaller, Camps a and d are getting bigger. Fewer and fewer people are undecided, more and more are taking sides. What will happen? We surely can’t guess especially since Oregon isn t precisely the USA in microcosm. We’re hardly typical. But there seems to be a very strong feeling that something—one way or another— should happen. People are getting terribly, terribly tired of hearing about W atergate. Benefits from the Gasoline Crunch? Now that the Arab oil boycott ap parently is ending, we can say it: The gasoline shortage wasn’t all that bad! Why such a dumb conclusion? Several reasons: (a) It taught all of us to do a lot less driving, to skip unnecessary trips, to use public transport when feasible. (b) It brought a 55-mph speed limit and that in turn brought a sharp reduction in traffic fatalities. The freeways are safer today. re) It nflwte all of us drive more sensibly. No more jackrabbit starts, racing our engine; we kept our cars in better tune. Hopefully, most of these things will rem ain even after gasoline becomes more plentiful, especially the 55-mph speed limit. There is absolutely no need to return to our wasteful ways, to use the automobile to go across the street. Even though rationing will be avoided, we simpiy are not going io have all the gasoline we need. Con servation measures still will be continually necessary. We a re n ’t and never were amongst those who suggest the automobile should be forever sidetracked for some other form of transit. I t’s here and we need it. But more thoughtful use of our cars, more response to energy -saving suggestions won’t hurt any of us. Hoodland land exchange approved by BLM Twenty-two acres of national resource land in the Wemme-Wildwood area under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management will be exchanged for 122 acres of land owned by William C. and Winnie B. Murphy of Beaverton, Salem BLM district manager B. T. Vladimiroff has announced The properties located in northern Clackamas County have approximately equal market value, he said. The federal lands involved are 19 lots in a 40-acre homesite subdivision along the Sandy river When first created in the late 1960s. the lots were made available to veterans only on a lease-and-purchase basis “ Only 16 of the 35 lots went into private ownership,” related V la d im iro ff, “because many of the veterans failed to meet the terms of the lease, especially the requirement to build a suitable dwelling. Then the 1964 flood came through and severely damaged several homes and lots ” V la d im iro ff stated that property damage from future floods will be avoided because the deed to Murphy will contain a restriction limiting the use of the flood- prone areas to park or non-intensive open space. Murphy's lands are on steep hillsides adjoining BLM's Wildwood Recreation Site. Vladimiroff pointed out these lands have scenic values that are important to the recreational development of the Mt. Hood area. In addition to the influence on the recreation site, a new trail to Huckleberry Mountain has been proposed which will cross or pass close by Murphy’s lands. “This exchange has not been an easy one for us,” Vladimiroff reflected. “When we first announced our plans to classify the federal lands for exchange in M ay 1972, we ran into some stiff opposition from the adjoining landowners. The opposition disappeared, however, when M r. Murphy agreed to let the present landowners have the first opportunity to buy the adjoining lot from him at the same price we used in our appraisal ” Although BLM has approved the ex change, Vladimiroff noted that there is still more to be done before it becomes final "A notice must be published in a local newspaper for four consecutive weeks and deeds must be examined by our legal staff. The notice provides the last chance for persons who wish to assert a claim to the federal lands or who object to the ex change All claims or objections must be filed with our Portland office and with M r Murphy within the next 60 days,” he said, “but we do not anticipate receiving any.” Meeting set in Damascus The possibility of toll free telephone dialing between Damascus and Gresham will be discussed at a public meeting at 8 p m Tuesday, March 26. in the Damascus School cafeteria Bob Knutson from Continental Telephone, which serves the Damascus area is scheduled to speak Tom Kent from General Telephone, which serves Gresham, is also on the agenda Toll free dialing between the two areas has been discussed on numerous occasions during the past several years Presently, it’s a long distance phone call from Damascus School to Sam Barlow High Damascus School graduates attend Barlow It's also long distance to M t Hood Commiaiity College and the Baring Post I Office, which serves the Damascus area. The major question of whether to in stitute toll free calling or not revolves around one major question —cost. Knutson from Continental Telephone pointed out Tuesday that toll free is a deceptive description of opening up the phone lines Costs for establishing toll free calls would be borne by telephone subscribers, probably through a rate increase People who are ctrrently making many toll free calls to Gresham would benefit the most from dropping toll charges The cost would be shared, however, by all subscribers in the Damascus area, the majority of whom make few or no calls to Gresham each month. General Telephone, likewise, would pick up a share of the cost. Sandy B uilding Inspector Tom Day attended a special three-day short course at Oregon State University with 145 other building inspectors March 4-8.

But times have changed. No longer are S. S. owners asked curtly for a fill up and “take a look at the engine, M ac.” Instead, humanity confronts the S £ . owners with a facet of human nature alm ost as nathetic Now we see the apologetic, shamed, begging citizen with a five paragraph explanation (truth or not?) of why they need gas again this week. A n d -(s tu tte rin g ) they ask hesitantly if it would be possible to have five gallons to make it home. Then two days later that thoughtful litfle gift, a bottle of booze, a tip, a bribe- they play with the touchy subject of buying favor or contempt. Nowadays S 5 . owners are faced w ith the depressing business of handling a life line that the proud, contemptuous people of yesterday took for granted, and the anxious people of today beg for. It seems strange to wish for customers to come in and say, “F ill her up, and what the hell took so long?” But it would make times seem normal and even the rudeness of yesterday is preferable to the new friends (buddy-buddy all of a sudden), the little gifts that aren’t truly gifts but a little reminder to don’t forget about “m e” and that dirty feeling of being liked and used simply because we hold the keys to the gas pumps and not liked simply because we’re good people. Sincerely yours Joyce Boston Brightwood o SAFECO To the E ditor: Until I read William San derson’s coverage of the Clackam as County Com mission hearing, I had thought that names made news. Apparently, M r. Sanderson didn’t want it known that all 22 of those who appeared for Cedar Ridge were residents of the Hoodland C orridor. Nineteen of them are per manent residents and include most of the area’s elected leadership. The rem aining three are part-time residents. Of the 16 who appeared in opposition, only two are per manent Mt. Hood residents and another two own sum m er homes in the area. Of the balance, only six even reside in Clackamas County. No wonder Jerry Redding, chairman of the Welches school board, leaped to his feet to exclaim: “ It is obvious that a great number of people from Portland and Milwaukie think we residents of Hoodland, who actually led the way toward planning in this county, don’t have enough sense to protect our own environment.” No one reading Bill San derson’s article could have any grasp of the true facts. These '» cts " e th?“ <* us herehin the Hoodland area, who pioneered in planning by initiating and supporting the Mt. Hood Comprehensive Plan are for Cedar Rld8 e Those who oppose it include many who opposed the plan and who now try to subvert it. It is no accident that Hugh Smith, a Portland attorney and Rhododendron summer-home owner, who appeared against Cedar Ridge, represents in terests who fight to bring ad ditional dams into Hells Canyon. In both instances, he represents those who would step backward Many of us who are for Cedar Ridge, in con trast, know that growth will come to Mt. Hood. We want it to come in an orderly and planned fashion And when a project, like Cedar Ridge, meets and exceeds the requirements of our plan, we approve. 01' Bill can't distort that Dick Seller Alpine North ZigZag understandable, for many of us have left the city to get away from its crowded areas, noise and smog. And unfortunately, unless we have acquired a home or built one on a sizeable piece of land, we are extremely vulnerable to such an even tu a lity as having a home erected as close as 20 feet to our own. Not everyone shares our point of view , however.

Because of economic need, he ac cepted the responsiblities of adulthood before his 16th birthday. He moved to Oregon at age 17. He worked at labor, clerical and sales jobs and served in the Army A ir Force before com pleting his GENE FRANKLIN education Franklin is a certified public accountant. He has 21 years ex perience in public accounting, with extensive experience in auditing counties and other municipal governments. ne is a graduate of the University of Oregon and Northwestern School of Law of Lewis and Clark College He believes his experience and knowledge of county government would be very helpful in per forming the duties of county commissioner. He has lived a busy life, and he believes in the dignity of all labor. He believes good country roads are essential. With costs materially increasing and gas tax revenue decreasing, the problem of providing good roads is increased He believes the general fund may have to share some of its revenue with the road fund He prescribes full value for money expended in all depart ments, without impairment of essential services He believes the county should promote mass transportation, including light ra il passenger service, but mass transportation should not be an operation of the county, and mass transportation w ill not materially lessen the need for county roads He believes planning and zoning needs should be determined by a cross section of the people on the local level. Franklin is concerned about credibility of government at all levels He prescribes open records and plain, honest truth. He is dedicated to the principles of paying as little tax as necessary and getting full value for your money He w ill be a practical county commissioner. Pd. by G ene B.
