So it was appropriate that I helped a crew of 'professional stuffers' prepare the March ballots for mail ing last week. A 1989 Gallup Poll says that 80 million people found time for volunteer activities. Of these 53 percent were in the 35-55 age bracket and 47 percent were ages 55-64 with the rest 75 years or older. With so many women in the everyday work force, it doesn't leave a large number of people to fill gaps for part-time work, whether it's volunteer or paid jobs. So when it comes to open ing and counting stacks of ballot sheets, my feeble assistance may be called upon again. Unlike the many noble efforts of volunteers who get involved with social programs to help others, this stuffing job isn't heroic nor does it require a tremendous amount of brain power; one reason I qualify for the job. But when it comes to tallying the ballots, one does need to be able to count to 10 without using one's fingers and toes. Yet the professional method of ballot coun ting does ensure the privacy vote and lead to accuracy. Voting gives everyone the opportunity to have a say in govern ment, to a degree. When majority rules it can be discouraging' if the results disagree with your vote. But remember that local election returns can be extremely close, so failing to cast one's : ballot can impact the outcome. Like voting, it's supposed to be one's civic duty to serve as a juror. However it's asking a lot to be put on a prospective juror list for three months. After receiving said summons, a person is expected to telephone a number every business day during that three month period to find out if one's jury number has been selected. We all, as taxpayers support the justice system, but I feel this puts an unneessary burden on the part of a prospective juror. Secretaries must be kept very busy if they don't have time to make telephone calls. It makes me want to banish the telephone or confess to mental impairment rather than be grounded at home for an indefinite period. As to the upcoming elections there seems to be mixed reac tions to the proposed measures. Education of our young people is vital and community enhancement adds to t he liveability in our towns. Yet with most towns capped under the $10 per thou sand limitation increased taxation, excluding the bonding issues, unfairly falls on rural residents. Large companies and utilities can afford to write off property taxes against federal income taxation. It's true that the county operating levy asking is below last year's figure. But the total tax rate (including the new medical district) will increase by around $40,000. That's supposed to translate to an average of $451.92 per person to generate revenue for county government in addition to other revenue sources. Per sonally we need to acquire an increased number of resident grandchildren in order for us to drop down considerable to that per capita figure. Like schools, the major cost of government is wages and benefits. It's true that adequate salaries are necessary to attract competent people. Yet it's difficult for mill workers and hospital employees with more grueling jobs to find favor with county employee salaries ranging to more than $19 per hour. And one of the oddities of some of these wage increases is that it doesn't seem to be based on tenure or level of education.
