Driscoll Explains Proposed Hikes On Postage Rates An "inherited" nastal deficit of $1.2 billion la responsible for the proposals to raise tne post Bee bill for American residents, Postmaster Driscoll said touay. Drlscoll said he had been ad vised by Postmaster General Wlnton M. Blount in Washing ton. D. C. that the record $1.2 bill on 1970 deficit moved l-res- ident Nixon to seek postage rate increases. Without higher rates the department will be left with a deficit that would become an added public tax burden, he said. In addition to increasing let ter mail from 6 to 7 cents, as proposed by the Johnson Ad ministartlon. President Nixon also asked that second and third class mailers help reduce the large postal deficit which would otherwise be paid by taxpayers, the postmaster said. For bulk third-class mail and most magazines and newspa pers, the rates would be increas ed 16 percent to 20 percent above today's levels, he noted. These percentages include rate hikes already scheduled by previous action of Congress. The President's recommended Increases will reduce the 1970 postal deficit by more than $600 million. The postmaster listed these other details on the proposed increases: First-class mail: Letters and post cards would be increased one cent, to 7 cents an ounce and 6 cents a piece, respective ly, on July 1, 1969. Airmail post age would remain at 10 cents. This will yield $557.2 million in new revenues. Second-class mail: A handling charge of three-tenths of a cent per piece for circulation outside home counties would become ef fective July 1, 1969. This would yield $15.3 million annually and would represent a 12 percent in crease in addition to the 8 per cent rise scheduled to take ef fect January 1, 1970. Third-class mail: For single pieces, rates would be increased one cent per piece. This would yield $12.4 million. For regular bulk third-class, the minimum would be increased to a uniform rate of 4.2 cents January 1, 1970, as contrasted with the present rate of 3.6 cents. The 1970 in crease would lift revenues by $46.8 million annually. Sixth Graders Take Part in Club Contest The Increasing need for awareness of soil conservation reaches today's students as well as adults This has proven to be a very popular study among 6th graders and has had a great deal of special attention by stu dents In the classroom of Mrs. Inez FTrwIn at Heppner Element ary school. Sixth grade students of Mrs. Erwin had added incentive this year to relate their feelings on soil conservation in written form, They were Invited by the lone Garden club, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Wallace Wolff, to make original compo sitions on the theme, "Our Amazing Seeds", and enter them in the district level of club competition. Four poems by two boys and two girls, and two essays re ceived very favorable comments In the district contest. A poem by Mary Healy and an essay bv Anita Davidson were select ed among entries to the State Garden Club Conservation con test and will be Judged with others for state awards. Mrs. Wolff announces that cash awards were to be given the two district winners at a school honors assembly last Wednesday, and others who had entries would receive small books on wildlife. The following is a poem com position by Sally Winters on "Our Amazing Seeds": "Many seeds fly everywhere, They fly mostly in the air; They take birth on the ground. Now they fly around and 'round. In the air you see them fly Up toward the blue, blue sky; When the wind does not blow Then the seed does not go. When you see them in the air. Think how seeds are every where. 'There would not be life on earth If the seeds did not take birth. When the seeds fall off the tree That is food for you and me. When the rain comes down We see life through the ground. If there were not seeds, you see, There would not be you and me." Other poems were written by Richard McDaniel, James Ploy- har. and Mary Healy, and es says by Shannon Kelly and Anita Davidson.

S. Forest Service re ports. There were 112 notices of vi olation issued during the first season of operation under new Secretary of Agriculture rules. U. S. Commissioners in Oregon and Washington issued fines ranging from $10 to $100. The number of citations was not high when one considers there are about 1200 developed campgrounds In the Pacific Northwest Region used by thous ands of persons each week. The regulations are really common sense reduced to reg ulation," said Regional Forester Charles A. Connaughton. They relate to sanitation, public be havior, preservation of public property, audio devices, site oc cupancy, and use of vehicles. Waste Poses Problem The two regulations that seemed to be the most difficult to adhere to were disposal of waste water and parking or camping in unauthorized areas. The common practice of toss ing waste water on the ground or draining water into a hole is against regulations because it soon deteriorates the campsite. The grease, soap, food particles, etc., in the waste water soon attract insects and cause oaors. Campers should use a bucket or otner container xo arain or dumD waste water. The bucket should be emptied into a near by toilet or waste water sump. Drain hoses from camper or trailer sinks can be emptied in- LEE'S RADIO AND TV CLINIC 200 S.

N., Morrow County Health Department. Copies of the forms are dis tributed by the health depart ment to all eighth graders in the county schools, as well as to kindergarten pupils. Addit onal copies will be left at the schools, private physicians of fices, or can be obtained at the Morrow County Health Depart ment at the courthouse. Parents are urged to have these important examinations done early in the summer in case of any needed corrective work before the start of school. Birth certificates are required for first graders. Application forms are available in the local health department office and will be mailed upon request. Telephone 676-9911 between 8:00 a.m. and noon daily for further information. to a waste water sump if a sump is available. Sewer Hookup Lacking Recreation sites in the Nation al Forests are not constructed so that trailers and camper ve hicles can use their plumbing facilities to the fullest. Sewage from such vehicles can only be emptied into individual sewer hookups. At present, only one Forest Service campground in the Pacific Northwest has indi vidual sewer hookups. It is the Union Creek campground 17 miles southwest of Baker in the Wallowa - Whitman National Forest. At other campgrounds, sewage must be disposed of in approved places. . Another major problem in campgrounds is removal of traf fic control guards to gain ve hicular access to tables, fire places, lakeshort, etc. This un lawful practice can wipe out the vegetation between camp units, create a "dust bowl", or impact the ground to the point where trees are killed. : Total General TAX LEVY COMPUTATION Jrfon tmnm Tntnl RnHtrpt Reauirements $ 48.4J0.OU $ 21.UXJ.UU Less Budget Resources, Except Anvmnn imwwnn Taxes to Be Levied 42'Iofm wwnn Taxes Necessary to Balance Budget 7,695.00 7,ba.uu Add Taxes Estimated Not to Be T!ri S?iS"-zzzz 8.K2 $ sis ViW:Vriratito0nBe.LCVied. $ 8,300.00 $ 8,300 00 TOTAL TAXES TO BE LEVIED $ 8,300.00 $ 8.300.00 All reserve funds and special revenue funds, if any, are included.
