Adrian Voters Reject Budget In Second Try Adrian school electors de feated the proposed budget for the second time in Saturday’s voting. The county was 141 NO to 102 YES. The Budget submitted the second time was the same as the first one voted on May 5. It went down to defeat 113 to 76. It was unchanged as the board felt the vote was too small to represent the feelings of the patrons. The second vdte drew 54 more out than the first one but those opposed were almost the same percentage as in the first election. A public hearing was set for last night (Wednesday) to discuss items in the budget to enable the board to start making changes. The next board meet ing is set for Tuesday night of next week.

He complimented the people in telling the legislators in such a decisive manner that ‘‘They were all wet”. He said he had no proposal at this time and would not call a special session of the leg islature until a majority of the house and senate members had agreed on a new tax plan, in advance. STRAUB STATEMENT State Treasure? Robert W. Straub, Democrat, said he was well pleased in the vote and that he could not understand how the elected legislature could be so far out of touch with the desires of the voters. The measure was openly sup ported by organized labor, the Grange, and small business men. Also by families in the lower economic levels. It had the endorsement of the Oregon Farm Bureau, some of the larger corporations, and large individual property owners. State Traffic Takes 52 Lives During May Oregon traffic accidents killed 52 people during May, ac cording to preliminary figures released by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Last year, 50 people died in May crashes. The department reported that traffic deaths for the first five months of 1969 totaled 241 — the same number as had been killed at that time last year. Two crashes during the month, both in northwestern Oregon, each claimed four lives. One other crash killed two people; the other fatali ties occurred singly. Although reports still are incomplete, preliminary an alysis indicates non-collision, motor vehicle-pedestrian and head-on collisions were re sponsible for the greatest num ber of fatal accidents.

TVCC Students Ask For Work During Summer Charles Quinowski, Guidance Counsellor, Treasure Valley Community College, has in dicated there is a great need tor s u m m e r job opportunities for Treasure Valley students.
