The Senate has adopted a $75 tax credit for heads of households over 65 years of age, according to Idaho's U.S. Senator Jim McClure. McClure, a sponsor of the provision, said the refund- able income tax credit is designed to offset tax increases on energy which should increase o v e r a I I energy prices. "The elderly and those on fixed incomes will be hit hardest if energy taxes are applied," McClure explained. "This tax credit for the elderly heads of households is an attempt to soften the blow of the administration's pro- posed energy taxes." The amendment would allow for a $75 refundable tax credit to every head of household, who is at least 65 years of age and earns an adjusted gross income of $7,500 or less annually. McClure noted that he does not favor the adminis- tration plan of energy taxes and would continue to work to defeat the Carter tax increase. "If the energy taxes go into effect," McClure said, "this measure will at least provide some tax relief to those who need it most." residence outside the city. THE RECORD has invited the three candidates to sub- mit a short statement of their reasons for seeking the office, and we are pleased to print their statements. Troy Schwartz Troy's wife is Peggy. He has 2 sons, 3 year old Ben and 6 month old Travis. Troy has lived here most of his life. Troy is interested in sewer and street improvements, and he thinks new sewer lines should come first and doesn't want to have to tear up any newly installed black top to lay them. He is self employed. One of his major concerns is over the tax increases. Idaho's S e n a t o r Jim McClure has requested official Senate Committee hearings to be held in Idaho concerning the 160-a cre limitation restriction on farms receiving f e d e r a 1 water. The Carter Administration has said it will begin to enforce the 1902 provisions in the Reclamation A c t although enforcement has been almost nonexistent for the past 75 years. In a statement to the Chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Com- mittee, McClure s a i d, "There is nothing more urgent to many I d a h o farmers, ranchers and water- users than the sudden administration enforcement of the 160-acre limitation. Idaho farming families may be faced with the sudden loss of their farms, and it is imperative that their views be heard." McQlure has also requested that Department of Interior hearings be held in Idaho as well. Ten hear- ings were scheduled, but none in Idaho. The Idaho Republican encouraged the Energy and Natural Resources Commit- tee to schedule hearings on the 160-acre limitation after Congress adjourns sometime in November. McClure, a member of the Committee said he would participate in the Idaho hearings, or con- duct them when they are approved by the Committee. "Ultimately Congress must deal with this matter t h r o u g h legislation," McClure said. "I have introduced legislation in the past which would have helped this problem, but now it is especially important that Congressional Commit- tees hear the effects of the 160-acre limitation on the farmers and a solution be found from the results of those hearings. I will be considering legislation at that time." In a season ending effort, the Council Lumberjacks rode a high tide of scoring to a 50-6 victory over the Mid- vale Rangers. Although the Rangers were operating with a skeleton crew because of disciplinary action against certain players the Lumber- jacks went right to work on the opening play again in the person of Kelly Hemenway who raced fifty-four yards off the right side for an opening touchdown. Kelly scored again on the next possession with a thirty yard scamper. Lisle Pogue also added another TD in the first period on a five yard plunge. With the Junior Varsity carrying the offensive load in the second quarter, Rich Laine, defensive linebacker for the "Jacks" picked off a Ranger pass and raced into the end zone from fifteen yards out for the only score of the second quarter, mak- ing the score at half time, 24-0. With the first line offen- sive back in to start the second half, Tim DeHaas moved the squad quickly down field and topped off the drive using Lisle Pogue again with a eight yard run. The third quarter was the only .time the Rangers were able to tally as they salvaged a shut-out with a Seid to Potter pass that covered about twenty-five yards. The Junior Varsity again took over the offensive and continued to score as Denys Murphy, a freshman, skirted right end on a reverse play for a twenty yard touchdown. now in effect for The following general rules are presently in effect to govern use of the athletic facilities at Council High School.

(Board ruling, 1976) Thank you for your cooperation! issue with Senator Frank Church has taken sharp issue with a proposal now circulating within the Department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment {HUD) which would require new regional layers of government at the local level to obtain Federal funds for housing, community development and other pro- grams. The proposal is now being circulated as a "discussion paper" and takes the posi- tion that HUD need not s e c u r e Congressional approval for the required regionalization of Federal programs at the local level. In s letter to HUD Secre- tary Patricia Roberts Harris, Church questioned HUD's ability to initiate such a program "without the con- currence of Congress" and told the Secretary that "I would strongly urge you to consider the co sequences with care." Local regional efforts to provide housing, community development and other ser- vices already exist in Idaho and other states through local councils of government and economic development agencies. Idaho, in fact, has been in the forefront in developing regional pro- grams at the local lewd, Church noted, "particularly in the areas of health am] education." But Church pointed out that in these cases, "the initiative for a regional approach has come from the local and state level. That has been their hallmark, and that is the reason for their Success. ' ' Furthermore, said C h u r c h, Congressional intent in providing for Federal participation in local regional programs has been that the initiative come from the local or state level. Randy Shelton topped off the scoring for the afternoon as he ran the right side again for a four yard paydirt score. Kelly Hemenway finished the contest and his high school career with a 245 yard effort for the day and a season total of 914 yards of offense for the year. Steve Ogden, injured on the last play of the game, managed 16 tackles to give him an even 100 for the season. Kevin Madsen had 8 tackles as did Rich Bean in the gan~e. This victory, coupled with the Meadows Valley defeat of Garden Vally allowed the Lumberjacks to share the runner-up position in the Long Pin League. "Coach Verner and I are very pleased with this year's football efforts," commen- ted Head Coach Les Nash. There were a couple of times when the kids could have layed down and quit, but they got it together and made the season a real success. The seniors did a great job throughout the season as did the younger crew, which will be very important to next year's program. I wish Skip Craw-. ford could have seen action in the last contest because his efforts throughout the season were tremendous. I hope Coach Verner and l wiU be able to secure some positions for out men on the "All League" team as well as the All-State se ions, we certainly have some deserving individuals" added Coach Nash.

Symms, R-Idaho, said the bill p r o h i b i t s interstate transportation of minors for the purpose of prostitution and also prohibits use of minors under 16 years of age in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of promoting any visual or print medium in interstate or foreign com- m~. "Essentially, the second clause prohibits u s e of in films, photo- grahps, and other print media," Symms said. "This deals with the production of the materials, instead of the distribution." The c h i I d prostitution clause of t h e legislation strengthens the Mann ACt. The Mann Act made illegal transportation of m i n o r females across state lines for "The proposals contained in the diseusskm paper..,fly in the face of this good sense," Church said in his letter to Harris. "Idahoana involved in reg/onal pro- grams have told me bluntly that they (the new proposals) will be a disaster. It is their view that if offered the carrot of Federal ftmds for Feder- a.y- re ona za- tion, the Federal funds will be refused. Furthermore, the delicate compromises that bind sub--airy dif- ferent local interew ts together in regional entities will be tom asunder" if the Federal government begins to impose new t luirement from above.

"As the problem of young boys being exploited and forced into male prostitution grew, it became clear that an extension of the act was needed." Symms said. Symms said laws govern- ing distribution of porno- graphic materials using children are a "gray area." "There is a question of constitutionality and possi- ble violation of First Amend- ment rights, although I find it hard to believe that the founders of the country saw the First Amendment as a way to protect child pomo- graphers." "I wholaheartedly support the legislation passed today bythe House," Symms said. "It provides fines of up to $I0,000 and up to I0 years of imprisonment for violators of these provisions." "I hope that is a signifi- cant deterrent for those who would exploit children for their own financial gain.'"
