FUND RAISING LETTER, TURKEY SUPPER HIGHLIGHT NEW HOSPITAL FUND RAISING

"The Milo Community Hospital is busier now than anytime since 1974," Vice Chairman Claude Trask said on Tuesday, "but we are still in need of funds to help retire our-debts." Trask's comments came with the announcement of the release of an all-purpo-se fund raising letter to be sent to hundreds of citizens. The letter presents several ways the citizens, de­pending on the individual case, can help the hospital. Such ways include pledging, contributing, paying an old bill if appli­cable, and releasing old building fund money. "We are hoping for a substantial response," Trask said, "especially with past solid support on record. 11

In addition to the letter, a fancy turkey dinner with all the fixings will be held at the Milo Town Hall on Saturday, Febru­ary 12, 5 ·- 7 p. m. The dinner is sponsored by Friends of Milo Community Hospital, and will feature fresh turkey and home-baked pumpkin pie. The "Friends" are hoping for a big turnout at the dinner, as it is viewed by Trask "as a very tasty way to help the hospital. 11 The turkeys for the dinner were raised and donated by Mr. Paul Canney.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL PROBLEM CONTINUE TO BE MAJOR 'IOPICS FOR MILO PLANNING BOARD

"The Milo Planning Board will complete five years of oper­ation this year, " Planning Board Chairman Nancy Bowley said recently, "but many of the problems we confront will require even more long-term attention. I believe these sentiments reflect the views of the Planning Board as a whole."

Last April, the Planning Board began the development of a A~ ,_J Comprehensive Plan. Mrs. Bowley cited a number of reasons f;ll',t/f~ for undertaking the project, the most relevant in her opinion

Some apartments are still available. Anyone interested please call Florence Gilbert at 943-8881.

Mrs. Bowley indicated that the recommendations in the Plan are now belng contemplated now that most of the research has been completed. "But in order for us to actually decide on recommendations, we feel more public input is needed. We are presently preparing a sheet of general areas for recom­mendations, and we are hoping our future meetings will be attended by any citizen who desires some input. 11

Mrs. Bowley stated that the next Planning Board meeting Will be on Monday evening, February 21, 7 p. m. , at the Milo Town Hall, and further noted that a full schedule of meetings will be published as soon as possible so that all potential re­oommendations for the Comprehensive Plan can be fully dis­cussed by all those who are interested.

"We hope that the final recommendations we make are acceptable to the citizens who will be voting on them when the Comprehensive plan is presented for public approval, 11 Bowley added.

She also noted the problem of Open Burning Dumps and the state and federal environmental officials intentions of discon­tinuing them. "The Board has been looking into alternative solutions other than sanitary landfill, which is expensive, short term, and difficult to implement in a cold climate. We are hoping to keep the dump going until a solution comes along which is long term and has a reasonable cost. 11 · '

bill cohen FROM CONGRE_SS The rules of the House of Representatives are arcane and

convolutes, and the American public has, understandably, never shown inuch interest in learning much about them. But the House rules should be taken seriously by all voters and tax­payers. It was, · after all, loopholes in the rules and slipshod administrative practice.s that permitted the abuses of power which led to ' last year's sensational CongTessional scandals.

In January, the House adopted its rules for the 95th Con­gress, These were essentially the rules of the previous Con­gress, together with some 24 changes proposed by the Demo­cratic Caucus. While some of these changes were commend­able and necessary, I feel very strongly that the changes were not broad enough and did not get to the root of the problem.

It is my conviction that Congressmen can only restore pub­lic trust in Congress if they are open, candid and conscientious about their work. Because of this conviction, I have joined a group of more than 60 other concerned Congressmen in sup­porting legislation called the "Qpen House Amendments." These 10 amendments to the House rules are· intended to make the· House more open, accountable and effective.

Specifically, these amendments would: -- enable the full House to direct the Ethics Committee to

undertake invest_igations into alleged misconduct and require a complete report to the House in writing.

-- limit l!-11 House Committees to six Subcommittees in an effort to curb the proliferation of committee staffs and to end needless duplication of effort.

-- require verbatim transcripts of all committee actions on legislation or investigations and guarantee public access to those transcripts.

-- ban proxy voting in House Committees, thus ending an irresponsible tradition of absentee voting on pending legislation.

_:.. require all Committee meetings be open to the press and public unless disclosure of the matters to be discussed would jeopardize the national security or violate some existing law.

-- encoµrage more roll call votes in committee to force Committee Members to publicly record their position on im­portant proposals.

-- provide for continuous audio and video coverage of pro­ceedings on the floor of the House.

Other amendments I am supporting would standardize the rules and procedures for House committees, reform and im­prove the wayCongressional debates are published in the Con-• ·gTessionalRecord, and limit the power of the House leadership to push through potentially controversial legislation without Committee review.

Public opinion polls ·I have seen suggest that the people have lost faith in government because they think it is too distant and uncaring. The reforms I have listed here could truly make the House of Represent!tives the "People's House" once again by opening up our proceedings to full public scrutiny. Obviously, sunshine alone will not make the standing of the House good, but it can help expose the inefficient and ineffective ways things are done in Congress--and in the process it can help bring about much nee<;led change.

FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE I have always felt it was important for the people to be fully

aware of the interests and assets of their public officials. I believe that this principle should be extended to all major government officials.

With this in mind, I am sponsoring legislation in the House which establishes uniform public disclosure standards through­out government. This bill would require an annual disclosure report by all candidates for Federal office, the President ~~1 Vice President, Me mbers of Congress, justices and judv and high-level employees within the Executive Branch.

These .reports would be filed with the u. s. Comptroller General and would be available for public inspection. They would include a complete accounting of income, gifts, debts, securities and commodities transactions, and purchase or sale of real property by the official or any member of his or her immediate family. In addition, th~ bill provides that the Comp­troller General conduct periodic audits of the reports.

I believe this kind of disclosure is imperative if the taint of scandal is to be completely eradicated from both the Executive and Legislative Branches of our government. I hope the bill will receive prompt and favorable action in the new Congress.

MILO HISTORICAL SOCIETY ACTIVITIES One of the members of the Society, Eben C, Gould, of 16

Oberlin St., Maplewood, N.J. 17040, has written an article which was featured in the November issue of HERTFORD­SHIRE COUNTRYSIDE, a richly illustrated periodical with a typically English blending of old and new, matters of historical interest and current events, personalities, etc. , involving the suburban county which is northwest of London. In a two and a half page illustrated article entitled, "An American's Plea to Save the Hertfordshire Home of His Forbears 11

, Mr. Goul -i. joins with English groups in their attempts to preserve an a '- ~ cient house, the "Three Gables", in the old hamlet of Corner Hall which is now part of the growing city of Hemel Hampstead. That is about 25 miles from London at the end of one of its subway lines, the "Underground." The present owners seek required municipal permission to demolish the old building, presumably because of the value of the site for building pur­poses in the expanding city. Environmentalists, antiquarians, and others are fighting for its preservation.

The controversy came to Mr. Gould's attention through his life-long interest in the Gould family in Hertfordshire from which he descended on both paternal and maternal lines. The family has been traced back in Bovingdon, Hertfordshire to circa 1455. Although Mr. Gould knows of a dozen or so im­migrant ancestors who came to America in the 1600's, "Three Gables", which was owned and occupied by the Deacon family, is the only existing house in which any of his ancestral fami­lies is known to have lived .

The Gould family has been prominent in Milo since 1850, when Mr. Gould's grandfather, Ebenezer H. Gould, came from Sebec and joined with his brother William E. Gould, father of Mrs. Alice Chase, in operating a general store on the site of the present bank parking lot.

A book which will be of interest to Milo residents is now being written by Mr. Gould, "The Thompsons (Tompsons) of Milo, Me. -- The Story of John W. Tompson, a Mariner from Maryland, and Mary Taylor, His Wife, a School Teacher from Massachusetts, Early Settlers of Milo." The book has been prompted by the inter.est in their eastern background and an­cestry by descendants in Oregon and Washington of Fran9is W, Thompson, one of the children of Jolm W. and Mary Thor son. He went west with other Milo boys in the Gold Rush daV. The others returned but he stayed on, married, and left a large family of descendants.

February 1, 1977 Dear Friend:

I was delighted to learn on the 21st of January that the Milo Community Hospital has been readmitted to the Medicare pro­gram.

I am sure this comes as welcome news to the .many resi­dents of Milo who worked long and hard t.o sustain the hospital after Medicare decertification in December, 1974. Reinstate­ment in the program is a goal which has been· well earned, and which will infuse new life int.o the hospital and the services it provides.

This is no doubt an auspicious start for 1977, and I am hopeful that the coming months wni be happy and prosperous for you,

It was a pleasure t.o be of assistance and I look forward t.o serving you again in the future.

With warm best wishes, I am

Letter t.o the Editor:

ATTENTION: CITIZENS OF MILO An injustice has been perpetrated against the Milo traffic

guides -- their pay has been cut 13% from 34. 50 a week to 30. 00 a week in the following manner: 1. No one person of the municipal government, including the traffic guldes' supervisor, the Chief of Police, ever as ked, told, or notified any of the traffic guides about the pay cut, 2, Traffic guides , due to the hours t hey work, cannot hold a full-time job as other part- time town employees can and do. Therefore, traffic guides should be treated differently than other part-time employees. The justification for the reduc­tion in pay was said t.o have been to treat all part- time em­ployees the same. A traffic guide, in order t.o perform his or her duties, goes out three to four different times a day re-gar dless of the weather. · 3. No one else in the police department , or the town, has ,rece ived, or will r eceive a pay reduction under the proposed budget, and in fact the police officers are requesting an in­crease.

In conclusion, our services as traffic guides are worth the 34 . 50 a week that we assumed our jobs at last year, In fact, traffic guides have received this pay since 1975. I am ex­t remely disappointed and disgusted at t he fact that our town officials are so ignoble as t.o ignore the opinions of their employees, and to dare pay reductions in this inflationar y age.

Report from Augusta Rep. John E. Masterman,· District 85

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE GOVERNOR'S LEGISLATIVE MESSAGE Governor James B. Longley has outlined his legislative

package to the 108th Legislature. His legislative package reflects two of the major points of

his Budget Message: fiscal responsibility and go,1ernmental reorganization to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

In the area of Economic Development the Governor is seek­ing the creation of a Maine Development Foundation to provide a close working relationship between the State and the private sector in promoting economic development and gTowth. He is also seeking the creation of a Council of Economic Advisors to the Governor and the State Legislature.

In the area of Government Reorganization, Governor Long-

. -- Senator Dick Pierce (R-Kennebec) is sponsoring legis- · latlon to remove the five-year limitation on bilingual education • . Pierce pointed out that some children from families where little or no English is spoken and may require mor e than five years of bilingual education "to acquire sufficient proficiency . in English to profit from the standard curriculum. fl

-- A bill has been sponsored to put to referendum the ques­tion of abolishing the position of State Treasurer. Governor James Longley has urged the elimination of the Treasury Department as a separate department and transferring its functions to the Department of Finance and Administration.

-- Sunday hunting in the southern district will be ·permitted if L, D. 186 is passed. The Statement of Fact accorppanying the bill indicates that currently "the working men and women of Maine have only a limited time to hunt deer during the deer season as they are prohibited from hunting on Sunday. fl Sun­day hunting would be allowed during the hours between noon and sunset.

ley is supporting the concept contained in the Sunset Law in-,--------------------------.. troduced by House Minority Leader Linwood Palmer (R-Noble-boro) which would require periodic review of agency rules and regulations and an elimination of those which are inadequate, improper or unnecessary.

The Governor is also supporting the undedicating of dedi­cated state funds, excepting the highway fund "at least for the present."

The Governor is proposing that the Maine Employment Se­curity Commission be replaced with a Deputy Commissioner in the Department of Manpower Affairs, A three-member board would be appointed to hear appeals.

In the ·area of major construction funding the Governor is proposing that new capital debt be limited to the amount of debt being retired by the state in a single year. Projects funded through self liquidating bonds would be exempted since they do not add to the aggregate state debt.

that application requirements for many common activities be reduced and that such requirements be eliminated altogether for some minor projects. --------------------------.&

Governor Longley is proposing mandatory sentences for those convicted of selling narcotics and longer mandatory sen­tences in the case of sales to children under the age of 16.

The Governor is also proposing a Constitutional Amendment which would limit governors to single four- year terms. THE BILLS:

There were lots of predictions in the early days of the 108th Legislature that many fewer bills would be submitted this session than in recent sessions. The seers were wrong.

In the hours before cloture on January 28, the last day legis-lation could be introduced, hundreds of bills were submitted. The total is about 2, 200, about average for recent sessions.

Following are some interesting bills beginning towind their way ~hrough the legislative process:

..,- Representative Tom Perkins (R-Blue Hill) has submitted a bill to ban the sale of aerosol cans in the state after Jan. 1, 1979. Perkins said that aerosol sprays should be banned be­cause of their environmental damage and threat to human health. He indicated that he ls putting a two-year time lapse on the bill to allow businesses to deplete existing stocks be­cause he wants the pressure to be on national manufacturers to stop producing such products ratherthan on local businesses.

-- A bill has been introduced to move the primary election date from April to the first Wednesday after Labor Day in Se tem~r. Proponents of the measure argue that the public :a candidates would benefit from a shorter political season Op­ponents argue that the measure would favor' incumbents •

-- Rep_resentative James McMahon (R-Kennebunk) ha~ spon­sored a bill to allow right hand turns at intersections following a complete stop. The measure is being backed as a means of effecting gasoline savings and facilitating traffic flows .

TO THE EDITOR:

Box 7 Nobleboro, Maine 04553 February 3, 1977

Senator Hathaway's recent comment that the Congress has yielded to political pressure over the past seven years to deny themselves a pay raise was right on the mark.

This political pressure has come from us, the folks back home, who do not feel we are getting our money's worth as it is.

But the Senator's comment that "such a policy has been and will continue to be disastrous to the quality of our Federal government," is way off the mark. Does he not· consider him­self to be of high quality, and did he not run for the office he holds knowing full well that it paid $44, 600?

His support for a $12, 900 pay raise, which ts more money than most of us poor souls he is representing make is not a credit to our Senator. · ' ~

IIULO PUBLIC LIBRARY NEWSLETTER We have an especially nice set of books given to the library

in memory of Raymond Youngblood from his grandchildren, Leslie and Mike Youngblood, who live in Brewer, Maine,

We request that our young readers take special care of these books and bring them back to the library on or before the due daie. This will keep them new longer and also give others a chance to take their turn in reading the whole series.

111ese new books are the stories written by Laura Ingalls Wilder, and starts with the novel Little House in the Big Woods. On the edge of the Big Woods in Wisconsin, in 1867, Laiira Ingalls was born in a little log cabin many miles from any neighbors and remote from any settlement.

Litile House Books is the life story of Mrs. Wilder. As a child she traveled with her family by covered wagon through Kansas, Minnesota, and Dakota Territory.

Little House on the Prairie continues the adventures of the family we met in our first book, Ma and Pa, Mary, and Laura move to Kansas which is Indian country in those days.

If our country can become great in humility, and can work earnestly to solve its own problems at the same time that it carries its share of world responsibilities, it will be through the vision of our children, their integrity and idealism, gained in homes like the home in the Little House books.

Laura met Almanzo Wilder, whose boyhood is described in Farmer Boy.

On the Banks of Plum Creek; a remarkable and valuable work- in-progress, though each of the volumes can stand alone.

By the Shores of Silver Lake; one of the phenomenal achieve­ments in modern literature for children.

The Long Winter; Indian warning said the winter of 1800-81 would be a hard one in the Dakota Territory so Pa moved his family into town -- it was May before snows melted and the first train got through.

Little Town on the Prairie; a book you must.not miss. The Wilder's courtship and marriage is the subject of

These Happy Golden Years. Each delightful new story is complete in itself, but we

warmly recommend the entire series--real records all written out of the author' s own experiences -- for young and older readers, too.

disastrous wreck of the foreign owned Argo Merchant off Nan­tucket in December, has under,;;cored the need for stronger oil spill prevention and liability measures . . Regarding liability for any spills which may occur in the future, Congress must enact legislation-- such as I have sup­ported in previous sessions--to ensure that those responsible for the spills pay for both clean up and damages , and that adequate protectlon ls given to coastal a reas whose environ­ment and economies are adversely affected.

However, it ls clear that even more must be done to increase the fine imposed for oil spill accidents after they have occur­red. Steps should be taken to prevent oil spills as well. Ac­tion is needed in three ar•':as : strengthening safety standards for ships carrying hazardous substances in American waters upgrading training and license requirements for foreign trained crewme~bers and i_mproving oil spill clean up technology. The appropriate committees undoubtedly will begih to consider legislative proposals in this increasingly critical area in the near future.

In the meantime, it is encouraging to note that the Carter Administration, through the Department of Transportation, has used already existing authority to develop stronger maritime safety regulations.

Recently, Transportation Secretary Brock Adams issued safety regulations setting a minimum level of proper navigation practice and associated equipment for all self- propelled ves­sels of 1, 600 or more gross tons operating in U. s. navigable waters. They are designed to reduce navigation hazards from unprofessional performance or substandard equipment aboard vessels.

Now require~ on.these vessels are: regular posit ion fixing, better communications between master and pilot, and per­sonnel and equipment readiness. Certain optional navigation equipm_ent will now become mandatory and critical ship ma­neuvering systems aboard each vessel must be tested within 12 hours prior to entering or getting underway in u. s. waters .

DEVIL'S SLEDDERS SNOWMOBILE CLUB

The Devil's Sledders Snow­mobile Club of Milo met on J Thursday at the Milo Town Hall with a Pot Luck supper preceding the meeting. There were 57 in attendance.

The trails were reported as being in fair condition: Route 2 (Derby to Sebec) and Route 6 having been dragged recently with the Bombadier and Route 2 to Schoodic being dragged each night with smaller drags.

Plans were finalized on the trail ride for Saturday, Feb­ruary 6; to start at the IGA parking lot, up Route 6 to Sebec and Bowerbank, then to Dover, De rby and end up at the C. D. Center for a chow­der. Also, plans for the Val­entine Dance· were reported by the committee. That will be on Saturday, February 12, at the Town Hall. Admission is $2 per person and advance tickets are on sale by the members.

The members decided to have an exchange trail ride with the Hampden Club; Hampden com­ing here on February 26 if that date is convenient for them. -..I

The next regular meeting will be March 3, at 7 :30 p,m. , at the Civil Defense Center with refreshments and enter­tainment.

Vessels must also have a complete set of appropriate charts and publications and operable navigation equipment aboard r-::::----:----::-------- ---"-- -----when in navigable U. S, waters. · c I d N T k

Last but not l~ast, a new Marine Safety Task Force has been cr:ated at th_e htghest levels in the Department of Transpor­tat10n to review marine safety regulations and to determine what measures can be taken at the earliest possible date to reduce the potential for oil spils.
