The California Council on Criminal Justice denied a $50,000 grant for Santa Barbara County methadone clinics, leaving 220 addicts in treatment and 100 waitlisted. State funds do not support clinics and private grants have failed, forcing possible service shutdowns after July 1 unless new aid arrives.
The column discusses the German Russian peace treaties likely facing rejection in Bonn and the impact on Nixon’s Moscow mission. It highlights Brandt’s Ostpolitik, Berlin status, and NATO ties, noting Brezhnev Kosygin’s bets, Rush’s role, and potential U.S. troop considerations amid a mood of isolationism.
A string of humorous proverbs and quips on balance temper perceptions and daily life. The column riffs on self improvement, work, appearances, politics, and education with playful social commentary.
The column panels the beef price rise from prime cattle receipts of 39 dollars per cwt in January 1952 to 38 dollars per cwt in February 1972 while retail prices jumped from Swiss steak 85 cents to 169 cents a pound. It argues costs in labor transport processing and packaging explain the rise. It also notes local cattleman Gordon Davis of the Jalama Ranch and cites a Nebraska stockman’s figure from the Congressional Record.
A letter from Emil Scolari thanks Lompoc residents for campaign support and pledges service in office. A separate letter urges passage of the Clear Environment Act, noting activism by the People’s Lobby and more than a half million signatures, urging June ballot approval.
A four member Beautification Commission urged city parks funding for a Wye triangle and hill planting using lavender and white ground cover. Parks and Recreation rejected the plan amid concerns over erosion, cost estimates, and available labor. City Council reviews the Parks budget tomorrow with a final decision expected in coming months.
