Pioneers Win Another,
Nine Straight in Wilco
By Norman Fox
It’s nine in a row for the
Sandy Pioneers, as they down
ed the Scappoose Indians 50-
39 on enemy ground Tuesday
night.
The game was not a thriller
as compared with some other
games, even though Scappoose
took several one • point leads
in the third quarter.
Sandy got off to a good start,
grabbing an 11-5 lead, but set
tled for a 13-11 quarter advan
tage. Dan Nichols led the San
dy cause with six points, and
Lyle Waite kept the hosts in
the game with nine.
Carl Sandstrom came up
with six in the second period
as the Pioneers stretched their
lead to 27-22 at halftime.
The Indians closed the gap
in the third quarter, and held
scant leads, but Sandy man
aged a 38-35 score at the quar
ter rest. Gerald Hale was good
for six, and Mick Hoffman hit
a set shot in his first appear
ance since his bout with mono
nucleosis.
Scappoose's offense collapsed
in the final quarter. The team
hit only four free throws for
their total searing. Bill Hud-
kins sank three from the line,
and Jerry Kucera dropped in
one. Sandy totalled 12 points,
all on field shots.
Nichols and Hale shared team
and game scoring honors with
12 each. C. Sandstrom follow-
ed closely with 11. Dale Car
penter scored seven, Chuck
Croston added four, and J.
Sandstrom and Hoffman hit
two apiece.
Sandy's 39 per cent from the
floor was sub • average again,
but good enough to get them
past the Indians whose record
now reads 2-7. Rebounds, as
usual, told much of the story,
as Sandy men grabbed 36.
The third member of the
Clackamas county board
commissioners, Fred G. Ste
fani, was sworn in before a
packed courtroom. The 48-year-
old Republican mayor of Can
by replaces the late Charles E.
Latourette, who died suddenly
Feb. 10.
Commissioners Stan Ely and
Darrell Jones, in making the
appointment to the $9,540-a-
year-job, sidestepped the rec
ommendations of the central
committees of both the Repub
lican and Democrat parties.
The Republican Central Com
mittee put its weight behind
Eric Fisher, who was defeated
for a commissioner post in the
last election.
The Democrat Central Com
mittee asked that the selection
be from among Robert Elkins,
Michael McKernan and Hal
White.
After the swearing-in pro
gram Dr. Paul Dutton, newly-
elected chairman of the Repub
lican Central Committee, said
the appointment was accept
able to him, although he had
not seen Stefani for several
years.
The new commissioner is a
lifelong resident of Clackamas
county, born in the Canby area
He attended Canby schools and
served several terms on the
Canby city council. He is mar
ried and the father of two
children.
One of the milestones mark
ed by the open house is the
bank's 52 years in this com
munity.
This year, says Howard Ber
ger, Executive Vice President,
the bank will also be observ
ing the 100 - year milestone
of the dual system of banking.
Another anniversary the lo
cal bank observes this month
is its 13th year in its present
building.
The officers and staff of the
bank are urging the commun
ity to come in on Monday and
help celebrate this triple an
niversary with them. They
have planned refreshments for
all and will have orchids for
the ladies and balloons for the
youngsters.
Mrs. Eugenia Alt. President
of the bank, says the past year
has been one in which deposits
and loans increased by about
$400,000 and total assets by
half a million dollars.

Executive
vice president of Clackamas
County Bank, Sandy, will show
a film depicting 100 years of
the dual banking system in
America. This system came
about in 1863 when President
Lincoln signed the National
Currency Act.
It was this act, Berger
points out, that established Na-
tional Banks to operate along
with the already established
State Banks. It created a na
tional currency, where before
each bank had issued its own.
He will also explain a num
ber of later developments, such
as the Federal Reserve Act of
1913.

Chamber Favors
Business License
The Sandy Chamber of Com
merce passed a resolution in
which they expressed their fav
or of a city business license,
with details to be left to the
discretion of the Sandy City
Council.
The resolution will be

the council
John Mills reported at Tues
day’s Chamber luncheon that
the council’s recent budget
meet brought out a stumbling
block to the city’s purchase of
the Meinig property for a park
and city hall site.
This property, or any other
such property contemplated for
purchase by the city, could not
be bought “on time
Mills
said. He pointed out that the
city council is barred from
ligating future councils.
Mills said that he, as an
dividual, thinks this year’s
budget will probably exceed
last year’s budget by approxi
mately $9,000.
“You can’t expect people to
vote bonds for $35,000 for a
park, desirable as this proper
ty is, when sewers, water,
streets and fire protection are
going to have to be extended,"
Mills said.
Area Brix-hure
Marv Prestwood reported on
an area development meeting
at which chamber committee
heads discussed compilation of
an information brochure. The
brochure would present Sandy
area activities so that persons
Interested in coming into the
area to live or to go into busi
ness will have this information.
Paul Henderson, who favored
the chamber’s putting out such
a brochure, said it will "take
a lot of leg woik and coopera-
tion from business people,
ranchers, utility and recreation
people.”
Prestwood said Chuck Cros
ton, Chamber secretary, is get
ting many inquiries. He added
that the initial meeting to dis
cuss the matter had been one
of committee chairmen Harold
Edes, Paul Henderson, Dick
Steffi, Phil Jonsrud and him
self.
Student Fund-Raising
Builds 'Foreign' Fund
The latest word, though un
official, on the fund to bring
Sandy another foreign student
next year, is that the total will
probably top $1,000.
Sandy high students are re
sponsible for accumulation of
the largest portion of this—ap
proximately $700. The four
classes vied with each other in-
thinking up and promoting
money
making enterprises.
Supt. Charles Croston says
three classes-freshman, Jun-
lor and senior raised funds in
excess of $1 per student,

school, a project of the Amer
lean Field Service Committee,
was also highly successful,
both financially and in enter
tainment value.
Over 300 people attended,
stretching the food and seating
facilities, but enhancing the
success of the project.
The program of talks by six
of the seven foreign students
and one “American Abroad”
returnee, found an enthusastic
audience, as did the unique and
enchanting dance of the little
princess from Indonesia
The students, from countries
of Europe, Africa and South
east Asia, spoke with beguiling
candor of the customs of their
homelands. "My grandfather
had 60 wives,” said Sriatun
Sukawati. Then she elaborated
with, "I mean formal wives_
no one knows the number of
the informal wives My father
did not have that many.”

gled a little self-consciously

The Saturday clean-up par
ties at the Oral Hull Park site
are a rip-roaring success, says
Rich Wesselink, a trustee of
the Foundation. He reports a
large and enthusiastic turnout
of both local area residents and
Gresham Elks

came equipped with shovels,
rakes, cutters and such neces
sary paraphernalia.

Knapp furnished two power
saws, complete with skilled
men to run them. The group
cut down the big cherry trees,
took out the old fences and
made good headway at getting
rid of the brush.
At last Saturday’s cleaning
bee Knapp had a D-4 cat with
a bulldozer on hand, again with
two skilled operators, plus him
self The cat was a great help
in clearing for the parking area
and the new buildings.
