The solution to the inadequacies in our county library system can be found in the passing of this bond measure, satisfying the county's library needs for the next 20 years. Bond provisions include: • A new library in Bend,serving as a county headquarters for the other three branch libraries,with expanded seating and park- a j ing, expanded children's room, community,meeting room, additional books. 3 j j • A new library in Redmond,with more books,seating and park- ing,expanded children's room,and public rest rooms. • County-wide automation allowing each branch library access to collections at other branches. • A remodel of the former Sisters library into a community meet- ' ing room, and needed furnishings and books for the new library. • A remodel of the LaPine library,interior and exterior,includ- ing handicapped access. i VOTE YES FOR LIBRARIES!YESI FOR THE NEEDS OF r` TODAY'S CHILDREN AND TOMORROW'S LEADERS!

ROOTED IN OREGON'S HISTORY My roots go deep in Oregon's history.My paternal grandfather, thrice removed,was Joab Powell. He was a Baptist missionary. A circuit-rider. It was he, who, as chaplain, opened a session of the Oregon Legislature with the immortal words,"Father,forgive them,for they know not what they do."I take after him,a lot. I've not got a lot of faith in the integrity of all "professional" politicians.Far too many of them will do anything to stay in office. Not all of them,you understand.In fact,we in Oregon have been pretty lucky. Oregonians tend to favor candidates who are forthright with 4 their opinions,even if they disagree with those opinions.They like people who stand up for the underdog. They have even seemed to favor candidates with horrendously unpopular views.Wayne Morse immediately comes to mind. We sent Morse to the Senate first as a Republican,then as an Independent,and finally as a Democrat.I'm that kind of indepen- dent-thinking person.

Many of the issues we face in Oregon today and will face in the near future require clear and strong thinking.My task is to make you,as Democrats,as proud of me as I am to be a Democratic candidate. Oregon needs trees,not the greed that is manifest in the whole- sale shipment of logs overseas.Workers must realize that the timber interests are not ultimately concerned with the workers' interests but are instead consumed by the drive for excessive profits.Oregon can begin to do justice to workers and the environment by control- ling the excessive greed of the timber industry. From personal experience I know how bad drugs can be.I know too that alcohol is one of the worst drugs there is.But I also know that prohibition is not the solution for alcoholism,just as the war on drugs is not the answer to real human problems caused by drugs.It isn't easy for a candidate to stand up against the seeming popularity of the drug war and say that policy is mistaken.On the other hand,it is not a candidate's job to tailor his or her thinking to the latest poll. Many Americans seem willing to give up their rights in the name of the drug war.I believe if we continue down that path we will end up with few rights and plenty of drugs. t t 1 m I� s (This information furnished by Steven P.Carsey.)

R F, One institution that deserves mention for being partly to blame for this state of affairs,is the National Education Association.The NEA is one of the most powerful political institutions in our coun- try.

As one who has given her entire life to the education of young minds, and who remembers the days when children used to get a quality education.in our public schools, I am grieved by the sorry state of public education in•our state and in our country. There are several key reasons for this.First,there are the drug- related and cultural reasons.The spread of the rock-drug-sex coun- terculture since the 1960's has had a lot to do with this situation. Then there are economic reasons. Our nation's economic decline, and•decline in living standards has made it difficult for parents to be more active in their children's development,especially with a single parent,or when both parents work,and are away from home.Then there is the collapse of the stability of the institution of the family. '.This hasn't helped either. But none of these factors can compare with the decline of our public school system as a moral institution. Our system of public instruction has become wholly AMORAL.In the imposed curricu- lum,by law,there are no values taught,save perhaps the worship of 'mother nature"and one's primordial urges.Libertine,"value-free" sex education is substituted for encouraging a child's mental devel- opement.Situation ethics have replaced morality.Group dynamics, or`.'getting along and conforming with your peers,and trends,"has substituted for the search for truth and inquisitiveness.

The funds generated in converting should be used to offset local taxes.Public school buildings and equipment should go back on the public tax rolls and thereby reduce taxes for everyone. Parochial schools desiring aid for their students should likewise become profit- making institutions AND THEREBY AVOID CHURCH/STATE student aid problems. (This information furnished by Clifford E.
