And soon after the septic tank cleaning truck drives off the clean smell of the small quantity dumped in evaporates leaving just as much sewage, but less money. The best way to safeguard yourself against the Williamson gang and all p rac titio n ers of sim ilar con games is to be wary of any deal that sounds too good, or any sales pitch that uses scare tactics. If you are exposed to such a technique, give the City building official or the Sandy police a telephone call. They can quickly check out any legitimate businessmen. An even better way to insure good work is to do business with local companies. A man whose livelihood depends on repeat business from his neighbors has to do good work. The Williamson gang has been reported back in Oregon during recent weeks. The group of con artists specializes in offering roof repairs, septic cleaning and driveway resurfacing to elderly victims in door-to-door hard sell campaigns. The good deal the gang members offer appear at tractive to their victims, especially when customers are told that the “ leaking ro o f’ could cause major damage to household furnishings, or that a suit could be filed if someone trips on the “crumbling driveway.” Only after the work has been done, the cash payment collected and the gang member safely out of town do their victims learn the bitter truth. The first hard rain sends black goop oozing off the roof or driveway to show that what was sold as tar or asphalt is really motor oil swiped CLACKAM AS COUNTY cRlxen: " T h a t’s our share?" .

I sincerely cannot believe that the budget committee would make such a drastic cut in the library budget. I am very To the Editor: Thanks to the five-man Sandy concerned with the effect this cut would have on our only Grade school board which, source of reading and reference through more knowledge about m aterials available to the the school’s band instructor people “ on the mountain.” So and the voice of the com many of us depend entirely on munity, has rehired Jerry the county for our reading Dickson.

There was a time parents were heard to sigh relief when they discovered their youngsters were arrested for drinking and not for use of drugs. Alcohol is a drug and hopefully being able to use the proof in court will show down some people who don’t mean to kill, but who might as well be taking random shots when they drink and drive. D rinking and driving don’t mix—but more young motorists are drinking and dying in 1976. Through last April 25 there were 185 persons killed on Oregon’s roads this year, compared with 51 at the same date last year. In 1975 about half of those killed were under 25 with 53 per cent of that group showing evidence of having been drinking. After July 1, .10 per cent blood alcohol content will be evidence by itself as showing a person is under the influence under the revised motor vehicle code. Obviously there is an increasing problem, no surprise to most people. The trend over the past several years has been toward higher alcohol content among young drivers. Under present law, a breathalyzer test is given only when a charge of driving under the influence is made. Injured persons are not tested for blood alcohol content. Let’s hope more liberal use of the test can help deter an ever-increasing problem on our highways. V oters Deserve A Choice We need someone who is concerned about heavy issues, but doesn’t weigh every word. People are more important than politics. Issues are more relevant than empty smiles. We don’t need light talk instead of concrete programs. We suggest forgetting the fluff and getting to the meat. We have two candidates who might provide _ a choice, one conservative, the other a liberal. We nominate Betty Ford and Eleanor McGovern.

When this administration or any asks for a bond to pass to meet the needs of our children, they too, must pay more. I have attended meetings listening to them and other business men say “ can’t we cut some cor ners?” They do a ll they can to cut; not pay teachers as much as they would IHte to, but make the decision that they, too, might have to pay more taxes. This year there are more homes and businesses to help split this load. I again say support our school board and thank you, school board, for your time, effort and final decision on Mr. Dickson.

Clear-cut choices aren’t part of the political scene as the candidates hurriedly merge into toward murky middle. Depending on which group they’re talking to, they do their dances of support or nonsupport. The issues are lost in the shuffle. What the voter needs is someone who doesn’t pull punches, a person who doesn’t hedge on sensitive issues, a straight-talker. SATURDAY.
