Rescue aided
Hoodland Rescue, the volunteer
first aid and rescue group in the
Hoodland area, w ill soon be able to
provide even better service to the
mountain area thanks to Alpine
Ambulance of Sandy.
Gerald and Betty Long, operators
of Alpine, have given the rescue
group a used ambulance unit for
conversion into a rescue rig sim ilar to
vehicles maintained by the area fire
departments.
The converted vehicle, no longer
used to transport patients, w ill serve
as a carrier for the equipment of the
rescuers. Presently, rescue material
must be transported to the scene of
any call for assistance in individual
members’ automobiles; a time
consuming process at best.
With the cooperation of the Longs
and Hoodland Rescue, Hoodland
residents w ill receive that much
better service from its emergency
medical care volunteers and the
ambulance service has found a good
use for a piece of surplus equipment.
"You’ll Never Believe The Bargain
I Got At The After Christmas Sale I"
The Mt. Hood Budget Election
Over the past couple of weeks,
we’ve felt a rising swell of interest in
the Mt. Hood Community College
election next Tuesday.
Whether this augurs good or bad for
the levy, we can’t guess. But there
seems to be more interest in this
particular election than in any for a
long time.
That’s well and good. By any
yardstick, it’s the most crucial
election the College yet has faced.
Basically, the College is asking for
a levy of $2.3 million per year for each
of the next five years. That’s a total of
$11.5 m illion over the period, to be
spread equally over the five years.
College officials say the cost would
fluctuate from year to year. The
College’s current tax rate is $2.23 per
$1,000 of assessed valuation. If the
levy is approved, MHCC residents
w ill pay $2.83 per $1,000 for the first
year. That’s 60 cents more per $1,000
or $18 if you have a $30,000 home.
But by the fifth year, the rate w ill
have dropped to $1.97 or 26 cents less
than at present. All these are
estimates, of course.
Most of the money w ill go for
operations, a smaller amount to
equipment.
The Multnom ah County Tax
Supervising
and Conservation
Commission was critical of the levy at
a public hearing last month. It said
the justification for the levy amounts
was “ inadequate and too general”
and that not enough had been done to
acquaint the public with the levy.
The College replied that it has done
everything it can to explain the levy,
including widespread newspaper
publicity, mailings to every home in
the district, etc.
Technically, the College is asking
for a five-year serial levy. Such levies
normally are used for capital expense
(new construction) and not for
operating expenses. However, the
College feels that a five-year levy of
this nature is preferable to an
operating levy each and every year.
Money saved on elections alone would
be substantial.
In fact, the College may be plowing
entirely new ground in using a serial
levy for operations. Some feel a long­
term levy of this nature is the way to
go in the future, that it is vastly
preferable to repeated one-year
levies.
On the other hand, five years is a
long time to guess on the economy,
continuing inflation, etc. The MHCC
board did consider a three-year levy,
rather than five, but decided the
latter was more practical.
As we say, interest in the election
seems to be growing. Burgeoning
enrollment, inflation, all sorts of
added expenses have put the College
in a fiscal squeeze. The course of Mt.
Hood Community College for a long,
long time to come w ill be determined
next Tuesday.
Catching Them While They're Young
If you think TV commercials in­
terrupt football games too often, you
should be watching ch ildren’s
programs.
A recent study indicates that
programs aimed at the under-12
audience are interrupted for com-
mericials an average of once every
2.9 minutes. Thus, your children are
being pitched seven or eight times
during every half-hour show. During
pre-Christmas days, the percentage
is even higher.
The figures were compiled by a
group called Action for Children’s
Television, based in Newton, Mass.
Another of their findings was that
commercial time was heavier on
Saturday and Sunday than on other
days , . . when children obviously are
in school.
Since 1971, the amount of com­
mercial time on children’s programs
has decreased somewhat but the
number of commercials is about the
same.
The same study indicates that six of
10 children’s shows had some form of
violence and three of the 10 were
“ saturated” with violent acts.
Television, it seems still needs a
little policing.
The Bruins and the Buckeyes
UCLA’s victory over Ohio State in
the Rose Bowl made a lot of people
happy but none more so than those
who still believe in the virtue of hard
work.
The UCLA coach, Dick Vermeil,
quite literally worked the pants off his
gridders. It’s reported that a few days
before the game, a committee of
players went to Vermeil and com­
plained that he was working them too
hard. His reply went something like
this;
“ Too hard for the junior prom or too
hard for the Rose Bowl?”
The players got the message. They
went back to work.
UCLA had talent, but certainly not
the talent to match Ohio State. What
they did have was determination, a
tough defense, an excellent quar­
terback, hard work and an intangible
called “ desire.”
All these paid off with one of the
more memorable upsets in Rose Bowl
history. Anyone who aspires to do
better in anything can read a lesson
here.

Litter Patrol's goal
to keep kids on street
The fact that Oregon has

recognition and praise for the
litter-free cleanliness of its
state highways system did not
come about by accident.
Positive results take positive
action—sound thinking, hard
work and implementation of a
workable plan.
And. as usual when it comes
to
environmental
matters,
that’s what Oregon had—a
workable plan for keeping the
highways clean and free of
debris.
I t ’s called the Oregon Youth
L itter Patrol—an innovative
program designed to keep the
kids on the street, not off them.
The Oregon Youth Litter
Patrol was created four years
ago in order to provide jobs for
young people during the
summer months, and to aid the
Department of Transportation
in keeping the state highway
system free of trash and refuse
The program , which is
funded by Oregon’s Depart­
ment of Transportation through
the sale of customized license
plates (8163.535 last year) has
proven so successful that the
kids of the Oregon Youth Litter
Patrol have been selected for a

Litter is gathered in heavy-
duty 20-30 gallon capacity
plastic bags, sim ilar to garbage
bags. It is then sacked and left
at roadside to be picked up
later in the day by a truck from
theState Highway Division
A five-person Litter Patrol
w ill pick up one to two
truckloads of litter per day,
with the kids leapfrogging
ahead of each other throughout
the day.
As you might expect, high­
way litter comes in all shapes
and sizes. The kids have found
everything from old cars to
safety pins and baby diapers,
but the usual items are paper
products, containers of all
kinds, bottles, cans, disposable
plastics, magazines and a wide
assortment of spillage from
trucks and vans.
Once they found a washing
machine, another time a per­
fectly good pair of false teeth,
and on several occasions they
have re trie v e d im p o rta n t
personal
papers,
including
uncashed bank checks, which
have been returned to their
owners.
To be eligible for the Youth
Litter Patrol, the young people
must have a valid drivers
license and approved driving
record. It is open to both boys
and girls and. in fact, a full one-
third of the Youth Litter Patrol
consists of females.
The pay scale has grown
from 81.74 in 1971 to the present
82.51 per hour.

Since its beginning in 1971,
the Youth Litter Patrol has
grown to an average of 200
young people between the ages
of 16 and 20 who patrol Oregon
highways in search of litter and
debris.
They work prim arily during
the summer months -w hen the

After the first few days of

They work a full five-day
week, eight hours per day, in
mixed groups (both boys and

cover approximately 15 miles
of highway per day.
