And soon after the septic tank

smell of the small quantity dumped in

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

The drug scare of a few years ago
has turned into an alcohol problem,
again. 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 all the huffing and puffing is
over in the primaries, Americans are
left with the same smoggv choices.
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.
