Nov. 14-20 American
Education Week
Sponsors of American Education Week (November
14-20) say that parents and other concerned citizens
who seek excellence in their local schools and education
generally, should support teachers with outside activi-
ties that heighten classroom interest and involvement.
Such efforts would help mark the theme, "A Strong
Nation Needs Strong Schools."
"If we do not concern ourselves with the schools,"
says Rich McCullough, superintendent of Dayton
schools, "we are forfeiting some of the responsibility
we share for the future of our community, our country~
and successive generations."
This special week will be observed by Dayton schools
and the staff and students would invite you to visit the
schools.
Mr. McCullough, noting that the schools and
education leadership face increasingly complex prob-
lems, said that "we can help minimize the pressure of
current crises" by helping teachers at all levels instill a
sense of educational values among their students.
Joint sponsors of American Education Week (Na-
• tional Congress of Parents and Teachers, National
Education Association, National School Boards Asso-
ciation, The American Legion, and United States
Department of Education) have noted a number of
~;roaches for expressing commitment. Among them
PAsk teachers how you can support their activities
at home and in your neighborhood. Learn the objectives
of various types of instruction so as to be able to explain
those goals to young people.
--Encourage young people toward a sense that the
schools belong to them as well as to adults.
--Help young people to involve themselves as com-
pletely as possible in their learning by showing that
intellectual curiosity is natural and valuable. For
example, encourage them to view the programs on
television that focus on current events, or American
history., o%.the various peoples, animals, plants,
customs of other parts of the world. Foster young
peoplc's interest in Public Broadcasting System pro-
grams that might supplement their classroom studies.
Remember that "Good schools are one of the reasons
you live here."
nental Telephone of the Northwest to increase its phone
rates.
The hearing will be at 9:30 am in Hearing Room D of
the Labor & Industries Building in Salem. It will be
conducted by PUC Hearings Officer Lowell Bergen.
In March, Continental submitted a proposal to
increase annual revenues by $1,920,661, which would
raise local residential and business rates by varying
amounts for customers in service areas that include
Dayton, Lafayette, Silverton, Yamhill, Sunnyside,
Detroit, Aumsville and Murphy.
The company also proposes to increase telephone
rental and service charges.
Public Utility Commissioner John Lobdell suspended
the proposal in April for study by the PUC staff, which
has recommended that company revenues be increased
by $1,042,000. The PUC staff recommendations include
lower rate increases than those proposed by the
company in all service areas.
The PUC staff also has recommended that measured
phone service be introduced as an option for residential
and business customers in the Sunnyside area. Under
the plan proposed by the PUC staff, customers who
wish to take advantage of measured service would pay a
lower monthly rate for local service and be charged a
small amount for each outgoing local call.
At the hearing, testimony will be presented by the
PUC staff and the company. Customers of Continental
also will be given the opportunity to testify on the case.

selling going on in Dundee, Newberg, Dayton and
Lafayette. Free hookups will be granted up to 30 days
after initial contact by company sales representatives.

ncil plans safety
fence for footbridge
The Dayton City Council decided at its meeting
Monday night to hdd safety fencing to the footbridge
across the Yamhill River which was recently construct-
ed. A citizen complained that the present structure
would allow a child to slip underneath the bars and fall
into the river. The Council authorized the city recorder
to get three bids on 42" high wire fencing with holes
not to exceed 4". If the low bid does not exceed $700
city crews will install the safety fencing. Other
alternatives will be checked if the bid exceeds the
allotted amount.
The Council also voted to proceed with abatement
proceedings against a, home at 535 Church St. Findings
of fact will be presented at the December meeting of
the Council.
The Council then studied possible changes in the city
charter as outlined by the city attorney. The Council
made some recommendations and will again review the
changes at the December meeting. If time permits the
Charter will again be reviewed at the January meeting
for a possible vote on the March ballot.
Two ordinances increasing water and sewer user rate
charges were adopted. Ordinance 397 raises basic
water rates from $3.50 to $5.00 and those paying $5.00
will .pay $7.50. There are additional changes for
multiple use structures.
Ordinance 398 increased basic sewer rates from $5 to
$7.50 with additional changes in multiple user fees.
Outside users of facilities will also pay higher rates.
Connection fees for utilities were raised from $750
each for sewer and water to $1,000 each.
All increases will go into effect with the December
billings.
Under police business, Dave Egleston reported that
work is proceeding on rules and regulations for the
police department and will be reviewed by both the
Bureau of Police Standards and Training and the chief
of police and brought back to the Council for action. Les
Turner reported that an extensive record-keeping
system is being set up to be used by the police
department personnel. Letters from both Police Chief
Harry Yount and officer Elmer Hibbard were read in
response to letters of reprimand issued by the Council
last month. Both reprimands and answering letters will
remain as part of the permanent police personnel files
until the first review of the police department, probably
in six months. Chief Yount, who has been off duty, is
expected to return to work after Nov. 15th, following
physical and psychological examinations.
Paul Jensen reported that the 911 emergency
number will go into effect for the local telephone area
by May 30, 1983.
Two easements for utility lines at Mill and Second
will be corrected, the Council decided. The easements
do not encompass the areas where the present sewer
lines are placed.
The planning commission reported that a home
occupation application had been approved for Mr. and
Mrs. Bill Saunders for the making of lollipops. There
