ENTITLED TO SAFETY— > The Sandy city council has made efforts in the p&st- for installation of some highway traffic "safety devices on the Hood Loop highway through our city. Each time, the powers .-that be in the state highway com mission- offices have refused to take any action-. " Not even so much as a cross walk designation at any intersection of the Loop highway and a city street has been granted. Pedestrians have been struck by cars while ta-ossing the highway. Fortunately none otf these accidents have been very seriousj up to this time. But any of them - might Save been. Any others could he. The fcity council again is taking the mat- : ter of jgafety measures up in its meetings. It should again press the matter wifh the highwaSy commission and, if necessary, keep right oti pressing it until that body comes to the Realization that the Loop highway, howevar an important artery of through travel f t may. be,• also is, a city street in Sandy,^intersected, at several points on its course through the city ;- that there is a con siderable flow of essential pedestrian traf fic across, that Lnop highway every day and that,*these'pedestrians are entitled to all the lirote.cfipn which, can be given them. The 5‘ptmmissiOh also should be constantly * reminded that the Loop- highway is primari- * ly an .access road to. one of Ofegon’s great- 55 erit reereatibnal areas, which makes it an even rfrore hazardous road than most higli- Sw ays. Pleasure seekers rushing to the ’Bwpuutarin fbo often disregard the ordinary »precautions of driving, and thoroughly fa- ‘ tigued (Irivers’ returning from zestful hours or days on,, the hill’s, slopes frequently are ¡not sufficiently alert to react quickly enough to avoid emergencies. Sandy does not want, nor expect, instal lation of devices which. ,>v9uld so delay traffic as to ina^e them a curse. Such in- /’ 'SmiFtfttons would only serve to make those if^ v lio pass thrbti'gh the city cuss it and avoid * it whenever they could. Ri$ht,ni>w,<paivt;ju ing of a couple of cross walks which would give pedestrians the right-of-way while Lroi fossiiq* the street should (loathe.,job. B f Moving t of tjie Sandy postoffice to its new jfricatioft on the north side of Loop highway has made such safety measures imperative. ; T hat i^pne ha$ greatly increased foot traf fic across the highway and with each addi tional pedestrian the chances for accident increase in .direcjt .»proportion. Add. to that the fact th&t schools will soon be opening again, with great numbers of children daily crossiif^ the Loop highway and the haz ard; gr^ws still bigger. Sandy and the people of this community certainly are entitled to a just measure of protection in the pedestrian use of Loop highway. It is up to the highway commis sion ter see that they have it; and it is up to Sandy to make persistent demands and presentation of its case until the highway 'Commission takes action. The matter should be pressed now in an effort to bring about •that action before the opening of the Sandy schools in September. ftV ÁT E K ItE&E K Y 0 1H E I L L Á G A 1N— tA break in the weather at just the right moinent (which seems characteristic of Ore g o n )' has replenished the city of Sandy’s suppiyjfcf water and at the same time re duced file need for excess use of water for iawp sprinkling and other liéavy hot weath er consumption. What might have been a critical community crisis, thus has been averted¿by nature’s own hand. Coblecr weather, accompanied by high morning fogs and some cloudiness contrib uted much to the change. Scattered show ers early tlii’s .week added their bit to allevi ation of the* situation. The showers were more than welcome. Not only did they help I us, in ■ effir near-crisis of water supply, but i they also brought much needed moisture to ; abnormally dry fields of crops, to tinder dry ¡ forests^hi which, the' showers also helped to ' increase humidity and thus lessen danger i of forest fiyes. - The J^ater reservoir is full again. We ! dan go jfbout our daily tasks unconcerned ¡ about il#(>ending danger from a water short age. ftl#m what a relief. OREGON .M A K ES M A JO R H IST O R Y__ j The siafeTif Oregon last Monday officially ! wrote into the history records action of ma- j&r importance not only to this state but to :t$e nation and the world. At. Owl Camp,. A^est of Forest Grove in the famed Tilla- nfook burn area, the. state formally opened a $10,000,000 forest rehabilitation program approved by Oregon citizens at the Novem ber 101 <S general election. • Opening of the program., recognized as by far The' largest of its . kind' ever undertaken in this nation, was fittingly observed with due ceremony. Some' 250 'State officials, civic and lumber industry areas from Oregon and Washington were present. Gov. Doug las McKay officially opened the project for the state and the state board of forestry held a special meeting at the site to author ize issuance of the first block of $300,000 in state bonds to finance, the immense under taking. The action was taken within; a few hours after the Oregon law setting up the program and permitting the.sale of bonds became e U fective. That was an especially appropriate; feature of the progrant since it' gay^ CbUii crete' .evidence of recognition by th.e- state that.there is no time to be lost in cleaning,up' and reseeding and replanting the 300,GOO acres of fire denuded forest land in .the T illa mook burn area,, ‘It signifies that the refor estation work will he carried forward with all possible speed so that its fruits may be shared by future generations, of Oregon citizens at the earliest possible time. The great task of forest rehabilitation will not be confined to the Tillamook burn. It eventually will encompass every acre of burned over timber land in the state, and'in so doing will practically guarantee' the un interrupted. continuance of forest products harvest in the state. It is impossible. to over-estimate the importance to Oregon and the nation of so great a program.. H is torians of the future well may attempt to ap praise its value, but they. will find it nec essary even then to project, the return on into infinity.

When or P h o n e 491 S an d y where else has there ever been a govern-’ ment agency which calmly announced that it had completed the task asigned to. it and still had funds remaining to return to the public coffers? John Kelly did just that. To add to his glory, the commission did one of the finest jobs of the kind accomplished in any state in the nation. Largely through its efforts numerous opportunities for creation of in dustries were pointed out that would absorb Oregon’s newly arriver war-workers in the post war days and cushion what everyone then believed would be a severe economic blow to the state. Many of those oppor tunities have been turned ^ t o thriving businesses which today not only-furnish hundreds of jobs but also are adding to Ore gon’s wealth and stature , in many other .ways.
