"If nothing Is done, this money will revert to another In stitutlon," McCrae said. Bend Issue Proposed The hoard has proposed a $1,250,000 bond Issue which would actually reduce the an nual levy a "little bit" this year because It would cancel tne cur rent serial levy. The bond issue, however, would extend over a 20-year period. Election on the issue will be held in the two county district on April 2 at the usual polling places for county school elections In Morrow and Umatilla counties. Another reason why the dir ectors are anxious to build this year Is that construction costs are continually Increasing, the president said. "They are climbing at the rate of some 5 per year," he added. He said there are no plans for construction In the physical ed ucation areas at this time and the cultural complex would be the final phase of the board's construction program. "Any future building rtan would be dictated by the future program, he said. The armory In Pendleton Is used for physical education, and this is a good facility, McCrae declared. The college rents Its use for Its physical education program. The new building would offer Deginnings in art and music, something for which need has been felt and expressed. Budget 'Holds Line' President McCrae said that this year's operational budget remains very nearly the same as for 1967-68, the tax incrcas ing only about $9,000. "Our directors are very aware oi tne increasing burden on tax payers," he said, pointing out mat they had worked hard to "hold the line" and did a good job of doing so. While instructional costs will be up considerably and fixed charges (mainly "due to social security and retirement) will al so be up, additional resources Klenkes Announce Birth of Daughter Mr. and Mrs Robert Klenke of Forest Grove announce the birth of a daughter, born February 27, at St. Vincents' hospital In Port land.

"They increased our per pupil contribution" This, coupled with added tu ition from greater student en rollment, virtually offsets the total increase of some $100,000 in the budget, closing the gap to the approximately $9,000. Budget for the Blue Mountain College district Is printed in this paper on pages two and three of section 2.

"Cannibals, wild beasts and teeming jungles is the American concept of Africa," she writes. When I decided to take out a year from Oregon State Univer sity and loin my parents in Af rica, I wasn't sure just what to expect. "I have been in West Cam eroon, Africa, for three weeks now (letter was written Febru ary 16) and have seen no evi dence of this being the 'dark' continent. No cannibals in sight and the wildest beast I have seen was a rabbit. "Our home is in Buea, West Cameroon. To refresh your geog raphy, the continent of Africa is 2 times larger than the United States. West Cameroon is south of Nigeria on the west coast of Africa. It is the English speaking state of the Republic of Cameroon. The other state, East Cameroun. is its French- speaking counterpart. "Buea is located 3.000 feet ud I Mt. Cameroon, which looms up an additional 10,000 feet right out our living room window. It is an active volcano, which last erupted in 1959. "The Atlantic Ocean is only 20 miles down the mountain and has miles of uncrowded beach, warm water, breakers, and brown sand. The brown sand is a product of the vol cano. "For recreation there is a club nearoy with tennis courts, swim ming pool and a eolf course. Horses are also available for riding. Despite the fact that Rnpa is only five degrees from the equator, our weather is perfect so far. We are in the middle of the dry season with warm days, not hot, and cool nights. "Our home is auite laree with manogany iioors and furniture. In fact, we burn mahogany in our lireplace. It is their 'trash wood here. ine L-ameroonians are very irienuiy ana quite nospitable. They have a country that has so much potential and they are Deginning to realize it." Mill wmmw To the early settler, Northwest forests offered both opportunity and challenge. The transcontinental railroad became the link between producer and customer that helped the Forest Industry grow. Union Pacific keeps pace with this vita) Industry by supplying different types of rail cars designed for efficient handling of the many products of our forests. Another example of pulling together . . . Union Paclflo and the Great Pacific Northwest. J. M.
