"A cred ib ility gap has developed.” MacGregor told the board -People think our physical plant is almost too beautiful We re looked upon as the ‘big house on the hili' ” He said the college must do a better job of explaining how it can continue to lose levy elections and still continue to operate He said amuch greater effort should be made to meet with opponents of the college, instead of with proponents. "There are pockets of real bitterness." MacGregor said, "and you must reach these ” He also said a great many people perceive teachers as “ overworked and underpaid" Commissioners won't apply for federal grant Elect Clackamas County Com missioners have announced that they will not seek Public Works Title I funds to construct a $3 million administrative and emergency services building.

Grants will also be submitted for construction and renovation of a building by the public works department, historical society and the fair board The ap plications will total $1.5 million. “ It is unfortunate that this cnce-in-a-lifetime grant places the heaviest burden upon those who could benefit most from a totally funded project," said C o m m is s io n e r R ober Schumacher. “ Areas suffering from tight budgets can’t afford to develop construction plans at sizeable cost to the taxpayer in hopes that funding m ight be available." he continued. “ At a time when we closed our library and parks, I feel it is not in the best interest of our citizens to gamble needed funds in hopes that an application would be funded." 000 According to the Atlas of Oregon, homestead claims in Oregon, which peaked from 1911 to 1920, practically ceased in the state after 1945.
