This bond proposal is of vital concern to every citizen of the county for it not only paves the way for the construction of our own junior college, but it is a proposal which will actually provide a long range savings for the taxpayers of the county.

It is not often that such a unique situation occurs when the passage of a bond issue not only means a great step ahead in our system of higher education, but also provides us with a means of saving valuable tax money. Therefore, the Cabrillo bond issue is so important that it should become a vital reason for every eligible citizen to go to the polls June 7. Passage of the bonds is important educationally and financially for it will provide us with the physical plant necessary to house our students at junior college in our own campus rather than to send these same students to junior colleges in other counties. Because of the interest in the Cabrillo college proposal, perhaps, it is well for us to again outline the advantages we see in developing our junior college as scheduled under the terms of the bond issue. In order to do so, we will try to answer some of the questions which have been raised regarding the bond proposal.

"Why is it cheaper to pass the bond issue?" Taxpayers of the county will save money, according to the financial schedule of the college due to the fact that we can educate our young men and women cheaper at home than we can by sending them to junior colleges outside the county. "Do we pay jor junior college students now?" We have been paying for the education of Santa Cruz students in junior college throughout the state for a number of years. In the school year 1958-59, it cost county taxpayers approximately $500,000 to educate local students in junior colleges in Monterey and Santa Clara counties. "Is junior college education compulsory?" Junior college education is not compulsory for the student, but it is compulsory for every county to provide college facilities of their own or to pay other junior college districts for educating local students. Junior college enrollment is climbing every year and is expected to triple throughout the state in the next 15 years.

"I still don't get why it is cheaper to pass a bond issue than to continue under the old system?" Let's look at the facts: It is estimated that in 1964-65 there will be 1500 junior college students in the county. Under the Cabrillo plan it will cost 35 cents for operation and 24 cents to pay for bonds Birthday Party for Two But Only One Admits Age; MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM Editor: Because Santa Cruz liis a pleasant climate and is within reach of all communities, she will surely become the leading city for the mental health program in the near future. For this effort as in the past, if she now comes forward ana does her part, she will benefit her needs as well as the needs of these people who will in time be able to lift their hearts and bow their heads in prayer. As the Good Book states, "Ye have the poor with you always." So, as for Santa Cruz, she lies within your hands as what she will become. It is through mental freedom that the mind finds peace.

On a recent visit to Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Rep. Jim Wright (D-Tex) was startled to see the campus decorated with banners reading "Happy Birthday Ulysses." When Wright asked why the school over which Gen. Robert E. Lee once presided was honoring his arch rival, Gen. Grant, a student replied: "For years we have been celebrating Lee's birthday.

May lllh Santa Cruzans were given an opportunity to speak their minds in regard to future county-wide planning. "What Citizens Can Do To Preserve Our Open Spaces" was the topic of a talk given by an able planner from the state planning department. Waller Lipman Rave us much for serious thought and consideration.

But, ironically, during most of the informative talk, there were only 17 interested citizens. A few more came in, late. Many people who love Santa Cruz nd its choice, natural environment, were sent letters of Invitation to hear this speaker and to present any questions which he could answer regarding our future planning. There were several articles publicizing this meeting at the new county health building. And yet so few came.

Why is that? Still the same answer as for so many important problems in our lives? Apathy? Indifference? I hope" not.

Bethine Church, wife of the youthful Idaho Democratic sen WASHINGTON, May 14 "In view of President's angry statement that he knows more about this country's defense needs than anybody else," write D.K. of Houston, "didn't Congress show some disrespect when it revised his military program so radically? What were the underlying considerations for the changes?" 0 "PRE-EMPTIVE" WAR No disrespect was shown or intended. It is the constitutional duty of the Congress to use its collective judgment in passing on presidential proposals. I dismiss this question briefly because I do not believe that the full and prophetic effect and purpose of the Congressional declaration of policy is understood by the American people. In its re-emphasis on the weapons needed and in a report whose meaning has been generally missed by the press and the public, Congress came as near to advocating and preparing for hitting the enemy first as it has ever done in all our history.

It declared specifically against waiting for a hostile power to deliver a Pearl Harbor attack that could flatten all our defenses. Congress did not declare in favor of a "preventive" war, suggesting that the United States should deliver the first attack. But it did recommend, "preemptive" war, which carries almost the same meaning. It shied from the more positive statement because of a possible repugnant reaction. IN NECESSARY, WE CAN ATTACK FIRST Here is, perhaps, the most significant statement on this question ever made by the American Congress, for the House Appropriations Committee's report is assured of approval: "We should maintain our armed forces in such a way and with such an understanding that, should it ever become obvious that an attack on us or our Allies is imminent, we can launch an attack before the aggressor has hit either us or our Allies.

"This is an element of deterrence which the United States should not deny itself. No other form of deterrence can be fully relied on." Congress further revealed its determination upon such a policy when it re-allocted funds for weapons that differed seriously from the President's proposals. In my opinion, the legislators paid more attention to behind-closed-doors statements by Pentagon officers than they did to the President. 0 FAVORS STRONGER "STRIKING FORCE" Congress expressed itself in favor of a stronger and more far-ranging "striking force," one that could hit first and hard. It provided more money than the White House asked for nuclear and missile-firing submarines; for the intercontinental Minuteman missile that can be fired from movable bases; for anti-submarine warfare devices; for a full-time airborne alert in the future; for detective defenses against missiles; and for a badly needed increase in the Army-Air Force airlift facilities.

As further explanation, the word, "pre-emptive" as a military term first became popularly known in World War II. Then it meant the purchase of war materials from neutral countries so that the Axis, specifically Hitler, could not obtain them. We spent billions for minerals that we did not need, such as manganse from Spain, so as to cripple the enemy. In short, a "pre-emptive" war means "getting there fustest with the mostest!" It should be noted that this declaration is not an integral part of the Military Appropriations Bill, and does not require signature or approval by the President. But if he accepts the weapon changes, it will amount to an affirmative on his part.

MAY EXPLAIN KRUSHCHEV'S REACTION In answering a query by T.F. of Pittsfield, as to the reason for Khrushchev's order to shoot down our plane near the Russo-Turkish border, as well as his other fiery denunciations of "American militarists" (not the President, he made clear), this unprecedented declaration by Congress may be the ultimate explanation.

Good epigrams at the black tie foreign aid dinner given to honor President Eisenhower and the ambassadors from all the countries he toured on his good will visits: Said Italy's Ambassador Man-lio Brosio: "Foreign aid programs are not unilateral.

Vivyan was as mystified as anyone on the orphaning of the series, but admitted NBC never was too hot for it, despite the ratings. In midseason the network brought pressure to drop the plot angle that Lucky was running an offshore gambling salon.

"Blake Edwards, the show's creator, was sore about it because he thought it was too much interference," Vivian said. "But in some respects, the change was good. With gambling as the main angle, it meant Lucky was always in-volved with gangsters. That was limiting." Vivyan is just as happy about the switch from CBS. "I could only make appearances on other network shows." he said.

"The only ones open to me were Ed Sullivan and Jack Benny. I couldn't do Red Skelton, because the guest is always the butt of the jokes.

If we were to continue under the old system we would be paying 35 cents for operation and 26 cents for capital outlay taxes to other districts or a 61-cent tax rate for junior college payments in the county. In succeeding years the difference will soar on outside payments unless we provide our own facilities. Instead of being 2 cents a year cheaper to do-it-our-selves, it would be 23 cents cheaper in 1974-75. True, for the first two or three years, we will be paying more under the bond proposal, but in a 10-year period we will be saving thousands and thousands of dollars.

"What about the University of California; do we need a junior college if UC should locate here?" We must have a junior college or the university would not consider a campus in Santa Cruz. UC will be taking students from the top per cent of the high school graduating classes, it will be up to the junior college to handle lower division higher education for the bulk of the students in the county. One of the prerequisites to obtaining a university campus is that you must have a junior college in the area. But there is more to the Cabrillo bond proposal than taxes alone. It is an essential step in providing higher education at home for the young men and women of Santa Cruz county.

The proposed site is near the center of the county so it will be available to students throughout the county. In these critical times, it is extraordinarily important that we offer our young people the best possible educational opportunity. We can best achieve this goal by giving our approval to the Cabrillo college bonds at the primary election June 7. i 4 20 Nf. jTir 1ft YX A I trn's jcMj 1 MAGTRiLpAN cx jij 1 2 3 14 5 IS I 17 8 13 jlU 111 112 13 14 tSa 21 22 '-323 24 "25 126 7271 28 f-'" 32 iT333 34 35" 38 39 fTW 41 FT 42 43 44 45 I 46 47 48 14 Spring is when it's hard to keep your mind on your work at the office so the work's on your mind at home.

The huge U.S. submarine Triton followed Ferdinand Magellan's course (broken line on newsmap) for most of its 84-day circumnavigation of the globe under water. The Portuguese explorer left from Cadiz in 1519 on his historic voyaee, the first trip around the world. The Triton, carrying 183 men, left New London, February 16. On the trip it passed near the spot in the Philippine Islands where Magellan was killed by natives in the spring of 1521.
