THE FEAL CULFE1T The laiatiJD-time habit of blaming the other fe!lo for tigt. prices and calling your oeignbor creT. combined tth a ne game of stabilization b artificial controls, nave all helped to obscure fundamental facts. Mr. William J. Kuhfuss, president of the American Farm f-reau Feaeration, stresses those facts m a (e time!) oris. "In 157:", he points out, "e have a prrieeted bud get deficit of $38.8 billion federal:. This deficit Is greater than the total U.S buaget in 1. In 197: a prrjected bud get of S:36 billion is tuice the $118 billion budget of 1964. The interest on the government debt in 1972 is almost three times the total budget of 1938. In all the furor about food prices, the real cuiprit-governn.ent-fed inflation-has been generally overlooked food prices are not the cause oi inflation. The pressures of Inflation,. ..are primarily the re sult of excessive deficit spending on the part of the federal government and expansion of the money supply by the Federal reserve Board " Ir. the confusion of inflation, people are losing sight of the FACT THAT GOVERNMENT is no different than individuals in the long run. Thev must live mithin their means-the taxpaymg resources of their citizens. Keep Board Doors Open Hundreds of Oregon citizens ho serve as members of the governing beards of school and community college dis tricts are receiving copies of a booklet B0AP2MANSHIP, ha: every Oregon School Board Member should knov The information contained inside has interest for those serving on all governing boards handling public money. For example, it contains passages pointing to the impor tance of open board meetings. "In the past," it is noted, "boards generally confined their discussion at executive sessions to ro topics: Land acquisition plans and person nel problems ithin the district." Reports have come from other areas here boards have often felt compelled to utilize executive sessions for other purposes. One of these is to provide an opportunity to thrash out personality conflicts among board members or between the beard and' the superintendent or another member of the staff. Hoever, a careful distinction should be dran bet ween personality conflicts and philosophical conflicts or dif ferences of opinion, since these should be discussed in open beard meetings. The book goes on to recommend that the executive sess ions, itb members of the press present but dedeed to not report the discussion should be practiced sparingly. The process of board deliberation is educational to the public, the staff and to the press. Wlien only the formality of the final action takes place in the public meeting, the essence of the reasoning leading to the decision may not be apparent to outsiders. Morrow County School Board members practice the con cept that the more open their meeting policy, the fewer will be their community problems. In discussing majority and minority opinions, the bocfclet notes "manv board decisions will be by unanimous vote. Differences 'of opinion will be resolved in discussion of an issue or perhaps in a compromise that is reasonably satis tory to all parties. As a general rule, individual board members should voice their opinions in the discussion that precedes voting but support trie majority view once the vote is over. Few things are more damaging to a school district and the prestige of a board than for dissident board members to carrv their case to the public after a majority of the board has approved some other position. The same is true of budget committee members, no matter what board is being served. True affection is loving faults.

POLIO CAN STRIKE OREGON SHILDREN Paralytic polio could strike Oregon children in large num bers this summer because only 50 percent of them are adequately immunized again st the crippling disease, Dr. Edward Press, Oregon State Public Health Officer, warns. He cited recent surveys of first graders in 10 Oregon counties .that showed an average immunity level against polio of 50 percent, with a high of 64 percent and a low of 23 percent. "If s alarming to think one balf of our children aren't safe from polio in an age where the disease can be pre vented by a few feedings of oral vaccine," Dr. Press said.

"Oregon hasn't bad a case of polio reported since 1965," he said "and that probably is the reason parents have become complacent about get ting their children immuni sed. But e know from epi demics elsewhere tn recent years that Oregon, with its low Immunity levels, could experience an outbreak of po lio this summer should the virus be introduced in the community."
