Steering Committee Forms
For Retired and Aging
Over the past few weeks sev.
eral professional and lay peo
ple of various civic and relig
ious groups In the community
have been meeting In an effort
to Identify and probe Into some
of the concerns of retired peo
ple, those preparing for (near-
lng) retirement and those peo
ple who are generally concern
ed about older people, whether
they be family or friends.
The committee recognizes the
fact that retired people are and
will be moving Into the com-
minlty more and more to es
tablish their homes, and are
also recognizing the fact that
they are and will continue to
be a valuable resource In the
growth and development of the
community. The following is
sues have been discussed;Nam.
ely the desirability and possi
bility of conducting a series of
Informative seminars and-or
field tripe geared to their spec
ial concerns, Interests and prob
lem s sometime this fall or win
ter as a service to all Inter-
ested people In the community.
These events would be geared
to enable all to more clearly
recognize the value and poten
tial of older people In the com.
munlty. Perhaps these semin
a rs would be of some assistan-
ce to people In enabling them to
express themselves In new ways
and capitalize on the freedom
to choose and direct their life
patterns In these new years in
our community.
A Steering Committee on Re
tirement and Aging has been
established to effect the plan
ning for this commmlty effort.
It Is hoped that the seminars
will be based upon as broad
an awareness of the Interests,
concerns and problems of re
tired people tai the community
as possible. Therefore a quea.
t
tlonnalre will be circulated per-
sonally to a cross section of
older people In the community
in the Immediate future. It will
contain a self-addressed, stamp-
ed envelope for convenience In
returning them. The Informa
tive seminars will be largely
planned on the basis of data
received from the question
naires.
Any questions of expressions
of Interest may be directed to
the Rev. Don Parsons, at Zion
Lutheran Church.

Battle Rock Students Sponsor
Eye Fund Drive On Halloween
This year the seventh grade
cla sses at Battle Rock have de
cided not to sponsor UNICEF,
and Instead will Implement anew
program which they have named
HOPE (Help our People’s Eyes).
The new program will be joint
ly sponsored by the Battle Rock
seventh grade social studies
classes under the direction of
Mr. Jerry Cox and the Port
Orford Lions Club. HOPE will
be conducted similar toUNICEF
only the money obtained will
stay In the Port Orford area,
being donated to the Lions Vi
sion Clinic which provides all
types of optical aid for people
In need of It.
The 4th through 8th grades
will participate In the actual
fund drive taking place on Hal
loween night. Students will be
carrying sm all “ school house”
shaped containers which have
been specially numbered and
decorated. They will be asking
the fam ilies of Port orford for
their assistance In this worthy
endeavor. AU funds obatlned
from HOPE will be presented
to the Lions during a special
ceremony. It Is suggested that
If one desires to make a con
tribution to HOPE that It be In
small amounts. It Is felt that
numerous smaU contributions
would be better than one large
contribution as it would spread
the success of the fund drive
among many students.
HOPE headquarters Is located
In Room 4 at Battle Rock and
currently the seventh grade Is
busy preparing for Halloween.
Committees to make contain
ers, posters and to arrange pub.

visited the school and talked
to the seventh grade concerning
the vision clinic and how It
works. From this presentation
the seventh grade feels that It
has the necessary Information
to
answer questions per
taining to HOPE.
The Battle Rock seventh grade
Is working hard to make this a
successful activity but they will
need the help of the community
In order to do It. Man’s human,
ity to his fellow man has of

the seventh grade social stud,

Fish Co. Asks
Dock Repairs
California Shellfish Co. asked
the Port Commission Tuesday
night for repairs to the south
end of the dock so they could
install additional equipment.
The company said they wanted
to make a freezer Installation
but dock planking would have to
be replaced first.
Dock manager Wayland Liv.
ermore said that planks were
already being cut and that re-
pairs would be made in the near
future.
Livermore also suggested to
the Port that an Inventory of
Port property be taken at the
cannery building and that the
verbal charter boat franchise
be discontinued because of lack
of service and revenue.
Port Commissioner Philip
Wright was appointed to meet
with caps I tsheries to deter
mine the status of their opera
tion and it was agreed to In
vite charter boat operator A1
Doyle to the next meeting to
discuss his services and lnten-
tlons.

Port Orford’s Oregon State
University marine research fa
cility at the former coast Guard
station has its first major pro
ject since offlclaUy becoming a
part of the OSU campus. Three
Oregon utility companies have
gtven OSU $97,535 for a three-
year study of the possibilities
of using heated water for oys-
ter and salmon farming.
The flrm s-Eugene Water and
Electric Board, Pacific Power
& Light Co., and Portland Gen
eral Electric Co. w ill pay equal
ly for the study which wlU be
integrated with the University’s
Sea Grant Programs. Dr. Wil
liam J. McMell, head of the
Pacific F isheries Laboratory at
the OSU Marine Science Cen
ter In Newport, will be project
director.
McNeil will head the salmon
research, which will emphasize
work on chum salmon, and In
clude studies of pink and Chin
ook salmon and eventually sal-
mon hybrids.
Research will be tied In with
McNeil’s chum hatchery pro
gram at Netarts Bay which Is
supported by Sea Grant, Nation
al Marine F ish eries Services
and the State Fish Commission.
There, McNeil Is testing the
feasibility of open sea ranch
ing of chum salmon.
Wilbur P. Breese, oyster
scientist at the Marine science
Center who helped develop a
pilot hatchery, will be In charge
of the heated water work here
which emphasizes the Pacific
oyster. He will test the feasi
bility of using heated sea water
to set up nursery system s to
receive young oysters and hold
them until ready for planting
In estuaries and a factory sys
tem designed to grow oysters
to market size. Hie work ties
In with research at Newport
where the potential of produc
ing hatchery seed has been test
ed.
The advantage of working at
Port orford, McNeil said, is
being able to pump clean water
directly from the ocean, the
same type water coastal power
stations would use, rather than
bay water. Electricity will be
used to heat the sea water.
Hie laboratory here, a former
boat house, Is being changed to
add more electric power. This
winter a former communica
tions building on the bluff will
be converted into a heated lab
oratory.
LARGEST SEA GRANT
OSU this summer received
the largest Sea Grant In the
four-year history of the nation
al program, $1.7 m illion,for Its
continuing program of research,
education and advisory ser
vices.
