AMA asks direct funding
(Continued from Page 1 Column 6)
would pay half of the excess. I f earn­
ing $783 or more, the parent would
pay full cost.
This cost is computed at 68c per
hour, the payment now made for
family day care home care. Parents
who want their children in day care
centers will have to pay the difference
in cost.
Suppon services will still be con­
tracted to 4-C Councils — but their
funds will be cut to the point that
each of the sixteen districts will be
able to employ a director and a secre­
tary only. There is also a possibility
o f 4-C receiving a contract for
LUTHER
federal training funds.
Senator Frank Roberts expressed
his opinion that the plan will provide
“ custodial care” only. “ Thirty-six
people to look at 3,000 homes gives
no basis to look at ability or provide
training . . . The Governor took
away child care. Somehow, in a
poverty stricken society we have to
reduce money for child care.”
The jo in t com m ittee heard
testimony for three hours before a
large crowd of parents and child care
professionals. They first received the
CSD child care plan during the
hearing.

The McMinnville Grizzlies com­
piled a perfect 27-0 mark on the way
to winning the Class A A A Oregon
State Boys Basketball Champion­
ship.
Rated 81 and led by All-State,
6*8“ Charlie Sitton, the Grizzlies
needed a total o f five overtimes to
subdue two o f their adversaries.
Lakeridge took them through three
on opening night and Churchill two
more in the championship game.
Naturally most o f the credit for
the success of the Grizzlies has been
shouldered by one Mr. Sitton. All
eyes were centered on the young
gladiator from the valley farm lands
and some would say hc*s truly great
and the best player ever to play in the
State o f Oregon.
Charlie Sitton is in reality a good
prep basketball player.
The M cM innville team without
Sitton is not a good basketball team.
But let's put Charlie in the right
perspective and not get carried away,
as some writers have around the
State. Sitton is only a ju n io r,
therefore, will not enter the recruit­
ment wars until a year from now.
During the State Tourney Sitton
showed that when boxed up inside he
was very reluctant to venture out
side, which led one to believe that he
d id n 't have the outside shot.
Throughout the tourney he scored
only inside taking advantage of short
er players. Sitton, for sure, plays
with a great deal of verve, he hoops
and hoUers. claps his hands ala Bill
Walton. But believe me the similarity
ends there.
Charlie is mobile enough for a big
man and should be compared to
Mark Hoisington, ex-Benson 6*9”
player who played a few years at
U .S.C. before being dropped from
the squad. Hoisington, like Sitton,
was called a better player than Rich
W ashington. W ashington, as we
know, later starred at U C L A , was
named M V P in U C LA s last N C A A
championship team and now plays for
the NBA Kansas City Kings. W here's
Hoisington? As 1 stated previously,
take Charlie Sitton to California and
he’s just another ballplayer.
There's a good one down south
out at St. Monica High in Santa
Monica by the name of Leon Wood.
W ood, according to L A writer
Brad Pye, Jr., is being hailed as one
o f the best in the nation. The 6’8”
senior hit for 47 points last week to
set a new state career scoring record
and he topped that figure with a 55
point performance Tuesday night
against Valley Christian to make his
record, 2,655 in three years. Wood is
averaging 35 points a game.
How good is Wood? Those who
have seen him play, claim he can play
with the best in the nation. A true
blue chipper. Where is he going to
enroll? Well, U C LA is high on his
list o f over 400 offers.
Former Boston Celtics star John
Thompson and the University of De­
troit's David Gaines were the only
Black head coaches in the N C A A
tournament, which began last week.
Both, however, came out losers.
Georgetown lost a squeaker to
Rutgers in the mideast, while Detroit
was losing in a big upset by tiny
Lamar in the midwest regional.
Remember the W C A C . . . that lit­
tle sister to the Pac 10? Well after
opening play in the N C A A , they're
looking good
USF, the W C A C champions, de­
molished a good Brigham Young
team that finished 21-5, and before a
national T V audience. U C LA was a
heavy favorite playing in their own
Parley Pavilion, but someone forgot
to tell the Pepperdine Waves that
they were supposed to be patsies for
the Pac 10 champions. U C L A had to
scuffle before they finally subdued
the W C A C runners-up, who were led
by the impossible Ollie Matson, Jr.
and the hot-shooting 6*0” guard.
Ricardo Brown.
The Waves actually led at half­
time, 38-36.

Roy Campanella, ex-Dodger catch­
er and Hall of Famer had a park in
Los Angeles named in his honor.
Even though Campy was late, there
was a standing room only crowd
waiting for him upon his arrival. It
was a worthy salute to a most deserv­
ing person. Good luck Campy.

term for anyone who is interested in entering the field of officiating. The class
