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. "Apparently, many pa-

A first grader Is consider
ed fully immunized against

two in the first year o( life,
a booster at about 18 mon
ths of age and another prior
to school entry.
"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."
Dr. Press pointed out that
polio immunization should be
started when a child Is two

urged parents of unimmu
