NUMBER 25

(by George Long)
I was surprised to see so
many residents at the last re
gular council meeting, Wed
nesday, June 13. There were
about 18 residents at this meet
ing, some went home angry,
others in disgust, while others
were just plain startled that
the council did not recognize
them, nor even bother to ask
if they were there for a reason
oi just as a spectator. I was
disappointed that the council
did not discuss the city budget
with these residents who were
interested enough to come and
see what the council’s ideas
were or maybe they had some
ideas they would have liked
to suggest to the council.
I am the first to admit that
the council members were e-
lected to run the city, but they
are also elected to represent
the residents of the City—and
how can they truthfully repre
sent the residents If they do not
ask their opinions and what
better way would there have
been than to have an open dis
cussion at this meeting.
President Nixon put a price
freeze on all retail prices last
week and said wages weren’t
the cause of the soaring cost of
living. Well I say if you are go
ing to freeze one thing, freeze
everything, and indefinitely.
That should have been done 10
years ago. Nowadays business
comes in for a lot of criticism.
Some of it may be justified,
but it’s safe to say that most
of the allegations are unwar
ranted. American business, la
boring under a heavy tax bur
den, certainly does its share to
keep the economy moving.
Just suppose, for a moment,
that every business in the coun
try shut down for a week—
every store, every utility,
every railroad, every barber
shop, every radio and tele
vision station. We all know
what happens when just one
major industry is shut down by
a strike—but what if all busi
ness suddenly came to a halt?
It’s a horrible thought, but it’s
worth thinking about neverthe
less. Give it some considera
tion. We all might decide that
American business merits sup
port and praise—not brickbats!
The increasing gas shortage,
and the constant talk of a
shortage of electricity and
heating oil due to come it
makes us wonder just how
serious the situation really is.
But maybe there’s a cure for
it if we start to act now.
The spreading gap between
petroleum production and con
sumption in the United States
is beginning to receive more
than academic attention from
the great mass of petroleum
consumers. And well it should.
As we are finding out, the gap
is there and can become un
bridgeable unless the public
understands its meaning and
its cure.
The problem is explained in
release from the Independent
Petroleum
Association
of
America which says: “In 1973,
the oil producing capability of
the domestic petroleum pro
ducing industry will be 6 mil
lion barrels daily below our
domestic demand for petroleum
fuels. We have a real oil
supply gap now filled by inse
cure imports of more than 30
percent of our requirements.
This gap is widening constant
ly because of inadequate econ
omic Incentives to explore for
and develop our domestic re
sources ...” An additional
cause of the spreading gap
between the production and
supply of petroleum in the U.
S., which has received little
attention from the general
public, has been noted by an
other energy spokesman. He
observed that by 1985, Am
erican dependence on foreign
oil will rise to almost 50 per
cent and will involve a balance
of payment deficit of $22 bil
lion a year for just oil’ In view
of the weakness of the dollar
abroad, the question arises as
to whether such a large num
ber of dollars would be ac
cepted by oil-rich nations. We
might not be able to exchange
dollars for imported petroleum
at any price in the years ahead
The petroleum shortage in-

B cycle Ride Rained
Out; Planned Friday
A heavy rain and generally
inclement weather forced the
cancellation of a bicycle ride
to Niagara Park Saturdy. But
this turn of events did not
dampen spirits to try again—
hopefully with the cooperation
of the weather bureau.
For all who enjoy fun times,
exercise, SUN and the beauty
of Oregon in the summer, get
out your two-wheelers, and
join in the bicycle ride Friday,
June 22.
The touring group will leave
from in front of the high school
auditorium at 11 a. m. bound
for an outing at Niagara Park,
7 miles east of Mill City. Par
ticipants should bring a sack
lunch and drink, along with
frisbees, games, fishing poles,
cameras, etc., if desired. The
bicycle tour will head back
for Mill City about 4 p. m.,
although individuals are wel
come to leave earlier or stay
later.
This activity is planned
mostly for teenagers and young
adults Those having questions,
call Susy Wilson at 897-2270.
N. Marion Sneaks
By Santiam Nine
Santiam’s junior state team
lost its opener last Tuesday to
North Marion by a score of
three to two. The lack of hit
ting and a combination of er
rors gave Santiam its first loss
of the season.
Santiam had men on base all
night, but could not get the
key hits to bring the runners
home. Two singles, one by Dan
Legassie and one by Rick Roth,
accounted for the hits and the
two runs scored by Santiam.
Roth, though ending up as the
losing pitcher, actually pitched
an excellent game and struck
out nine of the North Marion
batters, but his efforts were
not enough to overcome San-
tiam's inability to score enough
runs.
Santiam went into the bot
tom half of the last inning
leading two to one, but was un
able to sustain the lead as
North Marion picked up two
runs in that inning to win the
game.

solution rests on building a
bridge of public understanding
of the large energy resources
that still await development in

environmental obstructionism
that now block their discovery
