way to totally destroy the gas, the

W ith the graduation season upon

for future cduculional plans One of
the greatest concerns, obviously, is

is that for the vast majority of us.
they w ill mu I am not discouraging
worthy students from applying foi
scholarships, on ihe contrary, in
M orrow County for example we
have a l^jge number of line county
and local scholarship programs
These programs, however, w ill not
come close to covering the cost of
a college education Ih e average
cost per year for an Oregon college

i5 U N ) at a community college to as
high as S I4 .0 0 0 at a private, lour

The problems that are encountered
hy many pjrcnls and students arc
simply this grade and achievement
records arc good, hut not good
enough, family income and assets
are too high for the desired grant
loan, and work study awards under

and investments tor education are in
adequate oi nonexistent
What is the solution ’ The inienl ot

their outlook on the availability ot

read about the millions ol dollars in

educational funding for college is
tight, and hy most indications w ill
become tighter in the near future
How about the availability ot State

Consider again all tN*se scholarships

thousands o f scholarship programs
available, however, keep in mind
that there arc literally hundreds o f

I would wish lo know why the
Morrow County Judicial System and
its team o f officers, arc continuing
to harass me in my right lo travel in
this county ’ TheO regiw Department
of I ransporation has withdrawn its
charges against me and I quote.
"F in a l order withdrawal by motor

the available evidence, the Division

This actum had originated in Mor
row County Justice Court, in spile
o f the defendant'» attempt to show
clearly hy documents that a legal
withdrawal had heen made from the
dc facto hazardous contract system
and that the defendant had no con
tract with the state which hound me
to their system

In other words unlike a contract
with a local business man where you
each agree on the terms and no one
can change those terms without the
agreement o f the other party, in a
hazardous contract (drivers license
etc ). one party (generally govern
men!) can change it at w ill, without
agreement of the other party How
would you like your hank mortgage
on your home that way ’ The terms
of the loan could he changed at w ill.

In spue of this. Justice court fuss
determined to continue its attack
upon me by continuing lo attempt hi
either force me to jail for one year
and a S 2.500 fine plus assessments
(how you exceed the S2500 limit of
the court) This all for a legal
challenge of laws that disagree with
the Organic Constitution o f The
United Stales (1787)

re election o f Charlotte G ray, in it
is » W orking to save your justice
