David and April Hilton Sykes, Publishers TO THE EDITOR Deficit damaging support school budget To the Editor: The locus on federal budget "cuts" obscures the overrid ing problem in the proposed new federal budget. The federal government is entering a decade of fiscal decadence. President Rea gan's budget is out of balance, in the red by $45 billion dollars. This will add to a national debt of $935.1 billion, making it nearly a trillion dollars. The interest paid this year alone for each man, woman, and child in Oregon and the rest of the nation will be $626.18 if borrowing rates paid by the federal government remain around 15 percent. That interest for each per son in Oregon will be the equal of one year's Oregon State General Fund expenditure. For Oregonians, that interest for one year is $1.64 billion. Even assuming the interest rates on federal borrowing drop to an average of 8 percent over the ten years, the amount of interest alone, with nothing added to the federal debt at all, will be $5,220 for each man, woman and child for the ten years. To gauge the amount of $45 billion, just think of a stack of $1,000 bills just over two miles high. That is the amount by which the proposed federal one year budget is in a deficit condition. This deficit is more impor tant and damaging to the people of Oregon than the specific details of programs cut. EDWARD N. FADELEY.

The budget represents an increase of less than ten percent at a time when inflation rates are ranging upward to twelve percent or better. Members of the, budget committee have looked at the uncertain future filled with high projected costs and uncertain revenue and have attempted to present a realis tic budget proposal which is designed to help sustain the efforts of the school district. This budget request is split into an A and B Ballot in order to conform to state statutes. Voter approval of both ballots will be necessary in order to provide the funds necessary to continue the districts educa tional program. Because of the require ments of the new budget laws, the budget committee could not reduce the budget enough to have only a single A Ballot. If this had been done, many of the school district's programs would have been curtailed. The budget committee felt it was not in the best interests of out young people to reduce the budget that severely. GeneRietmann lone. Oregon note correction To the Editor: In this time of "alphabet soup" agencies, it is easily understandable how confusion can exist. For instance, in last week's paper in a Letter to the Editor, Theta Lowe twice mentioned the executive board of ECOAC when she really meant the executive committee of AAA. This mixup of acronyms has wrongly identified a group of people serving as ECOAC 2 directors with an issue in which they are not in any way involved. It is hoped that readers will take note of this correction. Dorothy Krebs Chairman Board of Directors ECOAC Heppner News Mrs. Bud (Brenda) McGirr. Long Creek, visited with her grandmother.
