To the editor:
The world news has been
full of wars and rumors of
wars recently. It is becoming
more and more difficult to
avoid thinking about the po
tential danger and destruction
of the world's nuclear arms
stockpiles.
The United States and the
Soveit Union are both con
structing nuclear weapons at
an alarming rate; in this
country, n average of three
per day. The two countries are
essentially equal in firepower
although the vehicles of de
struction differ.
NBC News reports that 83
percent of the U.S. population
favors a bilateral verifiable
freeze of nuclear weapons
development. Many states and
cities have passed measures
urging the governments of the
US. and U.S.S.R. to halt
production of nuclear arms.

Give a vote of confidence
To the editor:
Tuesday, June 29 is the day
to vote on the Lax levy needed
to support the Morrow County
operating budget for fiscal
year 1982-83. The fiscal year
begins July 1 and a new
budget must be adopted by
that date. It would be nice to
begin the new year with a
budget that has voter approv
al for its support.
The budget being presented
has been cut from the one
defeated in March. The
amount of actual expenditure
is now less than the current
years by $47,100. With the
P.G.E. tax offset, the tax rate
for the proposed budget will be
lowered to about $4.01 per
$1,000 of assessed valuation.
That is down from the current
rate of $4.39. The owner of a
$60,000 house can expect to
pay about $241 for county
services.
The county is mandated to
provide a wide variety of
services to protect the health
and well-being of its citizens.

the race
The hope is that reduction will
follow.
In Oregon, a petition is now
being circulated, vhich if
enough signatures are secur
ed, will place a measure on the
ballot in November to allow
Oregonians to vote on the
freeze issue. This is an oppor
tunity to exercise our rights
within our democracy. It also
gives us a way to act when the
nightmare of muclear war
leaves us feeling powerless.
The petition must be turned
in on Friday, June 25. If you
would like to sign it. or learn
more about it. please contact
one of us: Alice Harper 454
2871, or Cathy Barker 422-7530.
Some local ministers also
have copies.
Do it now; end the race...or

Well-being is interpreted to
mean financial as well as
physical. Therefore, main
taining a road system to trans

mercial materials is as im
portant as providing law en

The budget committee
members, Terry Thompson,
Chris Lovgren, Elden Pad

county court have tried to
satisfy the needs of the county
citizens as well as to protect
the taxpayer from unneces
