On Vocational Schools THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1968 B. £. Whitsett Has Interesting Hobby By Don Moffatt Much is being said today about “Beware of Trick6 on Measure 6” and I for one am surely against this measure and urge a NO vote on Novem ber 5th. My main objection is the setting of a precedent, that of using a state gasoline tax for anything other than high way construction or improve ment of existing roads. If this measure should happen to pass, there is no reason why some politician making a grab for glory on a pet project couldn’t add another cent, or five cents for that matter, for mainten ance of buildings, or any oth er use. This would in time make gasoline taxes more pro hibitive than they already are. It is so easy to slap a tax on gasoline, as nearly everyone uses it. J have another bone to pick with the state on their park system at the coast. They liter ally ruined one of my favorite sitting spots, the one at Boiler Bay. A hideous metal fence has been placed all along the rocky cliffs, where hundreds of thous ands of tourists enjoyed watch ing the breakers roar and splash up over the rocks. Now the bulk of this beauty has been taken away by the fence. Not only is the fence unsight ly, no provision has been made to keep the weeds from grow ing up inside the fence. That is just another case of med dling of the government in something that was just fine the way nature had planned it. Of course they say it was done for the protection of those who used to sit on the rocks to watch the waves. Soooo. . . . since when does it become the duty of the state to say who can sit there or who can’t. Very few people fell, or were wash ed off those rocks. It is just another gimmick to spend money which could have been used to much greater benefit elsewhere. « ' When it comes to spending the taxpayers money foolishly, here is an example of what some of ycur tax money goes for under the present adminis tration. It took the taxes col lected from 130 average U. S. earners to fund two Adminis tration programs last year: $41,- 400 for the study of “Changes in English Social Class Struct- ture” and $93,300 for “Political Research and Data Program on France and Italy.” Another $249,000 was spent on a “hap piness Study.” Two conclus ions: People with money are happier than those without it and healthy persons are hap pier than sick persons. I would have gladly informed the gov ernment of these “facts” for the inflated price of a postage stamp. Do you think you want tc spend another four or eight years with the same type of federal money management? Not me, I’ve had it. I’ll be real glad when this present political campaign is over. I’m sick to death of hear ing politicians make so many promises. Maybe when the campaign finally comes to a close and Mr. and Mrs. Onassis have settled down, maybe we’ll hear something w o r t h w h ile from the electronic news med ia. Surely there is something l>etter in the world than that. Jaycees To Sponsor Win A Beef Contest The Mill City Jaycees are sponsoring a Win a beef draw ing with proceeds to be used to help finish the Jaycee Com munity hall. A donation will also be made to the state Jay cee building fund. Tickets for the drawing will be sold by Jaycee members and at the November 13th meeting of the Mill City council Mayor Veryl Hoover will draw the winning number. The hind quarter of beef, weighing about 135 pounds, has been purchased at Girod's Hilltop market and will be cut and wrapped to the lucky win- specifications. Freeway Mill City friends and rela tives were shocked to learn of the death Saturday evening of Arthur “Bucky” Lyons, 21, home on leave from the Navy. He was killed trying to flag down traffic on Interstate 5 two miles south of Woodburn junction about 8:35 p. m He was a passenger in a car driven by a friend, Grant Mer rill when the auto slid into a ditch. Lyons was seeking aid when struck by a Greyhound bus. State police said that no- one observed the accident but a crash was heard and the bus’s windshield and driver side mirror were broken. Lyons was to have been mar ried to Miss Arvada Hince of Mill City this Friday. During the past month in American Problems class, Sen iors at Santiam High school have had an opportunity to’ hear representatives from Sa lem Technical Vocational Com munity college, Linn-Benton Community college, and Mer ritt-Davis Business college. The purpose in having these speak ers has been to provide stud ents with various points of view in planning their careers. The advantages in attending these school are many, such as: a relatively short period of time in college, well-paying jobs upon completion of training, location of schools close to home and small classes. Seniors will also be hearing representatives from four-year state and private colleges. Lat er in the year, at the Oregon Job Fair, speakers from indus try will stress going to work and not to college upon gradu ation from high school. As a result of hearing all these speakerse, students should be in a better position to make career choices according to their needs and vocational in terests. $4.00 a YEAR — 10c a Copy Bud Fisher of U. S. D. A. Talks At Chamber Meet W. L. (Bud) Fisher, repre-' sentative of the United States Department of Agriculture was guest speaker at the dinner meeting of the North Santiam Chamber of Commerce held at The Riverview in Mehama last Wednesday noon. He said his branch of the government worked as a con- rdinating office for the many faceted help programs put on by the government for small cities. He said it would be possible for his agency to loan money to non-profit organizations for low-cost housing or multiple dwelling units, at a low inter est rate. When questioned from the floor, he said it was possible for small cities to get assis tance for sewage systems. Only a small attendance was present at the meeting, con ducted by President J. C. Kim Wolverines Draw Tie in Friday Game The Santiam Wolverines charged out on Allen Field Friday night and surprised the League-leading North Marion Huskies by running up 451 yards to tie the game at 19-19. Four Wolverine backs gained over 100 yards in the contest.
