Miller, whose parents are Mr. and Mrs. Marsh May 24, 1967 Editor, Auburn Journal: As I travel around the Fourth Supervisorial District getting acquainted with the people, I am often asked, "What about the condition of the roads?" I wish that the answer could be simple, but unfortunately it isn't. One answer to this question would be that the board of supervisors abandon the idea of purchasing more property for building of a new office complex, and divert the money to the Department of Public Works. Also, the board could direct the tax collector to turn over to Public Works all taxes collected on those portions of property that are used as county roads.

The 935 miles of roads by the 25 or 50 foot wide strips needed would yield a tidy sum of tax money. Another great source of revenue would be the one per cent county sales tax that is lost in Placer County by the residents here who rush to Sacramento County to do their shopping. Our motto should be "Shop Placer County," and in this way you not only help realize your goals but add employment to the area. I could promise to build freeways throughout the area, but I would rather try to solve the situation and not promise, than to promise and be unable to fulfill the obligation. We in the Fourth District will, with the building of the Aubum Dam, be faced with a greater load of traffic over our roads, and it is vital that they be brought up to county specifications.

The continual patching that goes on year in and year out over the same areas is sheer waste in manpower, materials and money. Ronald J. Kennedy P.O. Box 295 Penryn, Calif. it fr pi jm'm fl (J number of employees, and so forth, from a school so different in size, curriculum, and philosophy with the State College cannot be validly applied.

His proposals to increase the professorial teaching loads and to use graduate students in lieu of fully qualified teachers is frightening to a student. Preparation is directly proportional to the quality of education. One of my own professors states that for three hours a week of lecture, a minimum of 12 hours of preparation is required. Therefore, we the students would suffer from such a plan designed to place a heavier burden on our instructors. The T.A.

(Teaching Assistant) system has eliminated much student contact with his professors. At least permit us to have a well prepared professor waiting when we do get to see him! As for stiffening the entrance requirements, drop-out rates from tightly restrictive schools are not proportionally lower than the rate at the State Colleges. Therefore can tighter requirements eliminate the drop-out problem? Furthermore, to eliminate students from the state colleges will undoubtedly increase the pressure upon the junior colleges and through decentralization and duplication, our educational expenses may well increase! In conclusion, I cannot agree that the way to cut our budget is to cut the quality of our education. Admittedly, there may be ways to eliminate waste, but perhaps Governor Reagan's wish to impose a form of tuition is not altogether unreasonable. As a student, I would rather pay for the meat of education than to be fed its watered-down broth.

Sincerely yours, Nick Bailey Jr. May 20, 1967 Editor, Auburn Journal: In answer to the letter written to F. Earl Corin, tax collector, by Juanita Jose, printed in your paper May 18, 1967: Some people seem to think they can raise and run dogs over the countryside at will. They have no consideration for other people's rights and property. We pay taxes to have streets and roads.

We also pay taxes to operate vehicles on said thoroughfares. At times the dogs are so numerous in parts of our county that it is really a problem to drive, especially in the suburbs. They over-run lawns and damage plants to no end. I think dog owners should be required to fence in their pets. If the county law enforcement agencies can't control them, the people may eventually take it upon themselves, and then real trouble starts.

I sincerely believe that a few cases like the one at Lake Tahoe a few weeks back would help. Hooray for Judge Fugazi! Sincerely, Rodney C. Armstrong 208 Upper Aubum Hts. Auburn, Calif. Exchange Club of Auburn Auburn, Calif.

May 23, 1967 Editor, Auburn Journal: The members of the Exchange Club extend their sincere thanks to the staff and management of the Auburn Journal for excellent cooperation we have received in promoting our community youth projects. We are very pleased to be able to present such projects as our Search for Talent, Freedom Shrine, Auburn Cubs and Boy-Girl of theMonth programs. However, it would be impossible to carry out these projects without the assistance and cooperation of the Journal. Once again we extend -our sincere thanks. Very truly yours, Fred H.

Kempton, President Exchange Club of Auburn Rt. 1, Box 1525 Meadow Vista, Calif. May 20, 1967 Editor, Auburn Journal: As general secretary of the World Council of Churches, Eugene Carson Blake is in a position of high responsibility and perspective comparable to that of General Secretary Thant of the United Nations and Pope Paul VI. Since Blake is also an American, his words on the Vietnam war should be of special interest and concern to us. On April 26, Blake stated "the United States seems to be stumbling on towards final disaster." Further he asks, "But when the swamps are filled up with dead Vietnamese and when the flower of our youth lies with them, what victory will have been won? Force cannot obliterate ideas." As a first step towards peace, Blake urges the U.S.

to stop bombing North Vietnam. Our present policy is an inhumane, immoral meddling in what a recent Republican Senate staff paper suggests is a civil war, not aggression from the north. It may seem cruel to tell Americans who have lost loved ones in Vietnam that the sacrifice was useless. But the real cruelty lies in the war itself. The casualty lists will continue to get longer, and the hope for world stability more remote so long as we choose to escalate.

Sincerely, Evan W. Jones CARL DAVID LADD Seaman Carl David Ladd.USN, husband of the former Carol Ros-an Hubbard of Auburn, is in the western Pacific with the Seventh Fleet as a crewman aboard the attack transport, USS Okanogan. Since leaving Long Beach last November, he has visited the Philippines, Da Nang in South Vietnam, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Yokusha, Japan. He will make a final stop at Pearl Harbor before returning to Long Beach sometime this month. Ladd is the son of Carl L.

Ladd of Lancaster and Mrs. Fred R. Sandstrom of Gabbs, Neb. He attended Placer High School and was graduated from high school in Sparks, in 1965. A member of the Naval Reserves, he was called to active duty last September 22.

DUANE REHLING Army Private Duane A. Renting, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. M.

Rehling, Dutch Flat, completed eight weeks of advanced training as a combat engineer May 19 at Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo. During his training, he received instruction in combat squad tactics, use of infantry weapons and engineer reconnaissance. He also was trained in the techniques of road and bridge building, camouflage and demolitions. A financial writer tells us that the five fastest growing items in sales in supermarkets are housewares, paper towels, deodorant soaps, liquid laundry starch and paper cups, all non-food items." It is estimated that California crops valued at more than $200 million annually require insect pollination, chiefly by honeybees.

JOSEPH J. DEANGELO Joseph J. DeAngelo, damage controlman 2nd class, serving aboard the USS Canberra, is expected to dock at San Diego today, following service on the gun line off North Vietnam. The son of Mr. and Mrs.

Jack Bosanko of Rt. 3, Box 3085, Auburn, the 21-year-old sailor is expected home on leave soon. The Canberra is returning via Formosa and Australia. LINDEN ALBRIGHT Airman, first class, Linden P. Albright, son of Mr.

and Mrs. Philip A. Albright, Aubum, is serving as crash tower operator with the fire department at Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam. He has just returned to duty after spending a period of rest and recuperation in Manila. He reports great warmth, kindness and hospitality shown him by the people of the Philippines.

Albright, whose wife, Donna, and two-year-old daughter live in Carmichael, was promoted to his present rank in February. lousy fair has closed, even if we did cut down on funds. Speaker Unruh was most effective. He said, in part. fair funds are low priority and idiotic.

fairs have a hand in a cookie jar. we have been asked to cut back in each department, it is disgraceful to let this money go on without letting the Legislature look at it. this bill just gives the Legislature the right to look as to whether this money should be given to crippled children, mental health or premiums at fairs. Robert Crown of Alameda -we would like each fair to make its case. If they can stand they will get their money.

they can't, they will fall. The attitude of proponents of the bill and the false impression they have tried to convey are that fairs are extravagant and wasteful of public funds, that fair fund allocations are political "pork barrel," that many fairs are not needed or justified. We are grateful to the Assemblymen who supported fairs and testified in behalf of fairs. Among them were: William Bagley of San Rafael; Frank Belotti of Eureka; Pauline Davis of Portola; Allan Pattee of Monterey; Jack Fenton of Montebello; Bob Mon-agan of Tracy, and our own Eugene Chappie who gave us his full cooperation and help and worked hard for the support of fairs. Regardless of the outcome of AB 1164 in the Senate, one thing is certain.

Fairs will have to become more and more self-supporting. The whole philosophy of fairs must change; fairs must be run like a business on a pay-your-way principle. Admission charges, rental rates, concession agreements, must be reviewed to reflect more revenues; passes and courtesy admissions must be curtailed, and the whole operation must be geared to the amount of revenues derived locally. Now, more than ever, the Auburn Fair Boosters Association looms as a bright star in our horizon. It is living proof that the people of the area are united in favor of the preservation and continuation of the Auburn District Fair, in its steady growth AT A TIME WHEN MEDICAL SCIENCE has raced into the Jet Age in the treatment of a great many illnesses, many patients seem to suffer almost as much from the outmoded attitudes of others toward their disorder as they do from the sickness itself.

Among the drastic examples of this ironic gap between medical practice and popular notions is epilepsy a neurological disorder affecting more than two million Americans. The result? A child with epilepsy (and one in 50 children has some form of convulsive disorder) often finds himself barred from attending public school; the neighborhood children will not play with him because some misguided parent has whispered, "Don't go near him. He has epilepsy." A man, unable to find a job no matter how dependable or capable he is, faces poverty and degradation. All this is so unnecessary. Thanks to modern medicine, it is now possible for 80 per cent of those with epilepsy to lead active, productive lives.

But we must give them the chance the opportunity to become full-fledged members of the society to which they can contribute so much. Each of us can do this effortlessly, with a small contribution: Not a contribution of money, but a contribution of self. What is needed is understanding understanding to banish superstition, fear and ignorance, and to help spread the truth about epilepsy. According to The Epilepsy Foundation of Washington, D. "Understanding is the most important medicine in the treatment of epilepsy." We urge you to join The Epilepsy Foundation in its battle to help your fellow Americans to a better, happier life.

HERE'S WHAT Other Editors Think Delinquency Once there was a little boy. When he was three weeks old, his parents turned him over to a babysitter. When he was two, they dressed him up like a cowboy and gave him a gun. When he was three, everybody said, "How cute," as he went lisping a beer commercial jingle. When he was six, his father occasionally dropped him off at Sunday School on his way to the Golf Course.

When he was eight, they bought him a BB gun and taught him to shoot sparrows. He learned to shoot windshields by himself. When he was ten he spent his after-school time squatting at a drugstore newsstand reading comic books. His mother was not home and his father was busy. When he was thirteen, he told his parents other boys stayed out as late as they wanted to so they said that he could too.

It was easier that way. When he was fourteen, they gave him a deadly two-ton machine, wrangled a license for him to drive it, and told him to be careful. When he was fifteen, the police called his home one night and said, "We have your boy. He's in trouble." "In trouble?" screamed the father. "It can't be MY boy!" But it was.

MORAL: As the twig is bent, it is apt to snap back in your face. "Train up a child in the way he should go." Proverbs 22:6. Advancing to the Rear According to U. S. News World Report, a wide array of businesses and their employees are now feeling the effects of the new minimum wage law.

Under the new law, the minimum wage level rose on February 1 to $1.40 an hour from $1.25 and is scheduled to go to $1.60 next year. Results of a survey by U. S. News show that the latest changes in the minimum wage are speeding mechanization and resulting in layoffs, mostly among unskilled or least productive workers. Another publication, the Los Angeles Times, reports: "President Johnson is expected to announce soon a crash program in poverty areas of big cities.

Thus, we have one branch of government legislating jobs out of existence and undermining taxpaying private enterprise, while another branch of government pours out tax funds to create jobs on its war on poverty. "An American is the most ambitious individual on earth. He works from morning till night, then moonlights on the side to keep his earning power up to his yearning power."

Nakagawa, Secretary-Manager NO OTHER AIR COOLER GIVES YOU ALL THESE ADVANCED FEATURES: WALL MOUNT May 24, 1967 Editor, Aubum Journal: I want to express my thanks to members of the Aubum 20-30 Club, the Aubum Exchange Club and the Auburn Jaycees. The diligent effort they put in to make the fifth anniversary dinner of the Big Brothers of Placer County a success was wonderful. They served, washed dishes, and generally worked like beavers.

Another group, without whom there would have been no dinner, was Ken Buckley and his crew of well known chefs. They prepared the delicious ham dinner. Thanks also are deserved by the Aubum Journal for the publicity given the dinner. It was only through the combined efforts of so many people that there were over 200 persons in attendance and they are all to be commended for their support of the Big Brother program. No man stands so straight as when he stoops to help a boy.

Best Regards, Herb Trittenbach Immediate Past Chairman, Advisory Council Big Brothers of Placer County May 23, 1967 Editor, Aubum Journal: The 20-30Ettes would like to thank you for your promptness in putting our articles in the paper. In many cases it has given our special functions the publicity needed to make them sue cessful. Thank you again for giving us your consideration. Very truly yours, Sue Haworth, Secretary Twentieth District Agricultural Assn. Auburn, Calif.

May 23, 1967 Editor, Auburn Journal: On May 9, 1967 I wrote to express my feeling of joy, satisfaction and appreciation for the defeat, in the Assembly on May 8 of AB 1164, the bill to abolish all special, continuing capital outlay allocations, Fairs and Exposition Funds to all fairs. However, my celebrating was short-lived and premature! For on May 10, it was brought back to the floor of the Assembly for reconsideration and on May 11 it passed the Assembly and was sent on to the Senate. It has been assigned to the Senate Governmental Efficiency Committee whose members are: McAteer, chairman; Burns, vice chairman; Collier, Dolwig, Ken-nick, Lagomarsino, McCarthy, Shrade, Short, Stiern and Teale. This committee will probably schedule hearings on the bill sometime in mid-June. If the bill passes the Senate, it will mean the end of many district and county fairs in California, including our own Auburn District Fair, even though the proponents of the bill claim their only purpose is to have control of fair budgets and that they are not out to "get" fairs.

However, their testimony belies this claim; the following are some of their remarks in part: Harvey Johnson of El Monte-it is time Legislators assume their responsibility and cause 0 Triple-welded rigid steel cabinets Exclusive grounded plug-In box for both motors Patented "Equalizer" water distributors Permanently lubricated guaranteed motors Choice of 1 -speed or 2-speed operation Exclusive adjustable blower motor mount Rubber-mounted self-aligning blower bearings Powerful "Volume-Thrust" balanced blowers Hot-dipped galvanized steel construction Undercoat lining In Mimlosi rtMrvoir Accessory "Aquatrol" attachment minimize mineral deposits Patented built-in "Bar-Cold" damper Precision-built heavy duty water pump Durable two-tone baked enamel finish Corobex-troated odor-proof cooling pads Microtias pad liners assures cleaner alrt Patented stiffened pad frames Easy-to-remove Snap-Lock pad frames ROOF MOUNT IB tOn Series only Built by the worlds largest manufacturer TRAILER AND CAMPER Graimbergweg 10 Heidelberg, Germany May 22, 1967 Editor, Auburn Journal: Having just received the April 27th issue of the Journal, I must respond to the letter of Alfred W. Simon, instructor at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, concerning his methodology of reducing the State College budget. I feel that Mr. Simon has ironically forgotten the purpose of the State College system, which was designed to educate any qualified California resident. He is also negligent, I believe, in try ing to compare technological and agricultural Cal Poly to larger liberal arts Cal State L.A.
