It seems that a substantial area between Laurel Hill to the edge of Parkdale is now uncovered by any em ergency m edical service. Previously, the Hoodland Rescue covered emergencies in the area. But now that unit has become part of the Hoodland F ire Department and by law is required to stay within the boundaries of the Hoodland Fire District (which ends at the bottom of Laurel Hill). We believe the situation is critical for several reasons, not the least of which is the number of skiers who development in the area. The Hoodland Women’s Club is located across from Welches School on Salmon flock to the resort area each week. We shudder to think what would happen if a school bus were to have an accident in the area. In fact, any number of situations could arise and cause havoc because of this lack of emergency medical services. There will be a meeting of con cerned citizens to discuss the problem on Monday night a t 7:30 p.m. in the Cascade Ski Club in Government Camp. We hope it’s well attended. We also hope some influence can be used with legislative and other elected officials to enlist their assistance in finding a solution to the problem. (SALi River Road.

We were especially appalled by some discussion of filming the execution. That sup posedly would have been the ultimate in bringing violence to the homes of TV viewers. We can only morbidly wonder who the commercial sponsors would have been for the “ show” , if it had been broadcast. Still more criticism should go to the Oregon criminal justice system which let Gilmore out on parole to eommit his crime and to the numAous volunteers who offered their services to the firing squad. All in all, the whole fiasco did not reflect our system at its best. (SAL) letters to the editor Serve the people To the Editor A community college should serve the needs of the people whose tax dollars support it. Mt. Hood seems bent on becoming a showplace among community colleges plus of* fering many courses that in no way prepare graduates to compete in the work force. I consider the above to be misuse of my tax dollars and my displeasure shall continue to be reflected at the polls. School Financing the Big Issue If you think you know how to solve Oregon’s school financing dilemma, better head for Salem. Legislators already are deeply involved in various new methods of supporting the schools. Sen. Pres. Jason Boe suggests an approach that would allow only two elections per year on an operating budget. After a second failure, school districts would get last year’s budget plus 6 per c e n t. . . all without a vote of the people. Sen. Frank Roberts proposes a plan which would use the current year’s operating levy as a floor with no automatic increase. If the school district wanted more, it would have to go to the people for approval. Roberts likens the Boe plan to “ taking blood from donors without their approval. Boe also would like to increase the state income tax sufficiently for the state to assume 50 per cent of school financing (it’s roughly 29 per cent now). We much prefer the Roberts plan, which gives the voters some right to decide on additional taxes. The so- called Boe “ safety net” plan would virtually destroy the people’s right to have any say on how much schools spend. We’re sure whatever plan finally emerges will be a consolidation, a com posite of a num ber of suggestions. But we strongly suggest that the right of the people to vote on school taxes be preserved to the greatest degree possible. Gas Tax Is Needed, But... We agree with Gov. Straub that Oregon should have a gasoline tax. But we think that in view of voter rejection of a similar tax at the polls last November, it will be extremely difficult to persuade the legislature to enact one. The governor proposes either a 2 cents per gallon tax or a floating increase which will slide up and down with the cost of living. We fully agree that money is needed desperately for Oregon’s roads and highways. A lot of them right here in the Gresham-East County area are falling apart and the same condition is true statewide. When the voters have spoken, however, it’s not exactly politic to turn right around and subvert that verdict. This will be one hot potato for the legislature. OSHA Is Shot Down The whole v ast governm ent bureaucracy was brought to a halt recently when a small-town Idaho m erchant refused to let an OSHA inspector wander through his plant. And the courts upheld him. As a result, OSHA may be out of business. We’ll never forget our OSHA visit. We only wish we would have had the courage at the time to say “ No!” We most recall the timing of the visit, the crusty demeanor of the inspector, the ream s of paperwork and the $500 or so we eventually had I is invited to attend the meeting. The Gilm ore Saga The execution of Gary Gilmore last Monday morning seemed to bring out the worst in everyone. We vehemently oppose capital punishment and of course were not pleased to see Gilmore executed, even though his crim e was heinous and deserving of at least life im prisonment without parole. But no m atter how heinous the crime, it escapes us how people can reason that killing a person is the way to show other criminals and would-be criminals that killing is wrong. The press was not at its best cover ing the case either and glorified < Will return favor To the Editor: We wish to thank the many fine people that came to our assistance New Years Eve afternoon about 3 p.m. when we rolled our Wagoneer and travel trailer on 362nd.

Sandy F ire Chief Bob Rathke explained that the presentation-meeting is designed to solicit opinions, suggestions and other input from department patrons. Such input, Rathke explained, would be key to what future plans the department w ill make for itself.

SERVICE WE GIVE! 4-H programs off and running to spend to correct a bunch of trivia. The one item of substance was totally missed by the inspector (we later corrected it on our own). Our building was almost new at the time and we had few problems. But some newspaper plants, had OSHA regulations been enforced with teeth, would have totally been put out of business. No one objects to safety but OSHA’s high-handed method of operation eventually brought down the whole house of cards.
