ARC' works to improve the lives of children and adults who are mentally retarded or developmentally disabled. ARC has been active in Lane County since 1952, the largest and strongest organization assisting the mentally retarded in Oregon. Bob Bury, owner of the Euphoria Chocolate Company, believes that ARC' is an extreme ly valuable program in the com munity. "It doesn’t get the at tention that other groups in the area like Easter Seals or Red Cross get. That’s one reason I feel good about the race," he said. The Truffle Trot netted $3,000 last year and during the last five years, $10,000 in pro ceeds has been given to ARC', Bury said. In 1982. there were 400 entrants as compared to Colliders Continued from Page 1 because of its proximity to elec trical power, water, major universities and an interna tional airport,” he said. “Secondly, we do have substantial representation with (Sen.

Both parties must respond to the suit within 30 days of receiving it. Force said. =============== “Believe me. if it came down to us needing to donate land to the SSC, we would do it in a minute,” Mason said. Mason believes participating in the process is beneficial even if Oregon isn't chosen for the site, he said. "The SSC is not the only high energy physics project.” he said. “To eventually get some of those projects, you've got to have been down the path once. It brings Oregon kind of into the high energy physics field,” he said.
