Robert J. Bunch and Donald
L. Jackson were bound over
from district court to the Clack­
amas county grand jury on
Feb 14 for embezzelment of
funds at Enco Sandy Save Cen­
ter. according to the Clacka­
mas county district attorney's
office.
The men were placed under
citizen's arrest on Feb. 4 by
Jack Earl Stambaugh when he
discovered discrepancies in the
January receipts at the Save
Center.
They were turned over to

contest, will have a special
program for the representa­
tives of each of the states.
The board members consid­
ered an audit of the Soil Con­
servation District's books and
it was found that no one at
last week's meeting was sure
where the books were. John

and
Mrs.

work with Chairman Byron Ed­

Al Morner told the city coun­
cil that the recent zone change
granted for the W. R. Beehler
property by the planning com­
mission should be voted on by
the city cuncil.
A discusion by councilmen
culminated in a decision to
hold a public hearing on the
zone change on Monday even­
ing, March 25, at the city hall.
Section 26 in the Sandy zon­
ing ordinance was cited as
authority for holding the public
hearing.
The planning commission’s
vote on the change had been
considered final and work is
well under way to clear the
site where Curtis Lofsted plans
a new Mobil service station.
The buildings are almost en­
tirely demolished in readiness
for the start of construction.
Cuuncil Considers
Buying Fire Truck
Fire Chief Lyle Seaman was
on hand at Monday's council
meeting to introduce Jerry Jen­
sen of the American Fire
Equipment company, who had
been asked to attend the meet
to explain financing the possi­
ble purchase of a new fire
truck for the city of Sandy. Al­
so present were Art Brown of
the U. S. National Bank, Stay­
ton, and Tommy Thomas of
Philippi Motors.
Brown described for the coun­
cil methods of financing the
purchase of a fire truck. It
could be done, he said, on a
lease - purchase arrangement
with payments made over a
designated number of years
and could be set up under the
same type of arrangement that
the Rural district now has. An­
other alternative was to pur­
chase it through a bond issue.
Jensen said he had the auth­
orization to negotiate with the
city and that his company would
possibly carry the papers, giv­
ing Sandy six years to complete
payment at a six per cent sim­
ple interest rate.
Repairs Needed
It was brought out that the
class B pumper owned by the
city is inadequate and in need
of repairs. Recent testing by
the insurance
underwriters
showed a pumping capacity of
only 422 gallons per minute
where a minimum of at least
500 was needed.
Even if the truck were re­
pairable only a third credit rat­
ing could be given. The rural
pumper also would receive a
third credit. Should the recent­
ly completed rerating survey
indicate a rating drop of one
rate it could mean about a 20
per cent increase in insurance
rates.
Deane Wesselink said he felt
that if the city could see its
way clear to do anything about
the equipment it should do it.
Jensen expressed the impor­
tance of sending a letter to the
rating bureau saying that the
city was attempting to bring its
fire protection in line with what
is needed.
BUDGET MEET
The next budget meeting of
the Sandy City council has
been set for Tuesday, March

Expansion Plans
What, especially, would he
plan for?
"I don’t think there are any
’especials’,” he says. "There
are all the services a growing
city has to cope with we 11
have to expand our water,
sewers and such things."
Jonsrud says he hopes the
city can get the Melnlg proper­
ty for a city park. He would
like to see the income from the
proposed business license lee
go for this.
"I wouldn't want the business
license put through unless it is
used for something of this
type," he emphasized.
In discussing the proposed
new city hall Jonsrud said he
considers the plans drawn last
year by Schumaker and New­
ton suitable for the present
site. If a different site is decid­
ed on, "we could review it." He
thinks that in another location
it would be advisable to add a
holding cell and a larger meet­
ing room.
Asked about his opinion on
the retirement village proposed
by the Episcopalians Jonsrud
said he is most Interested in
seeing detailed plans for this
development.
Budgeting Studied
In speaking of the present
city council he says, "I am glad
to see this council spending a
great deal of time studying
budgeting procedures. Their in­
terest in learning this phase of
city government is something
we have needed. The council is
also giving many hours to solv­
ing the problems of water and
sewer expansion confronting
Sandy.”

Fast Growing Foundation
Gets Much Needed Support
The Ladies of the Gresham
Elks presented the Oral Hull
Foundation for the Blind with
a check for $1,000 at the
Foundation’s Saturday after­
noon board meeting. Among
other contributions at this
meeting was a $32 check from
the Emerald Chapter of the
Council for the Blind in Eu­
gene for a sustaining member­
ship.
Foundation President Duane
Knapp announced that t h e
Foundation is now the owner
of a wagon and added that in
order to get the wagon he had
to take a binder, too. He said
a buggy had also been donated
to the foundation.
A check with the treasurer
showed that the young but fast­
growing
organization
could
count assets of $1186, two old
horses, some geese, a wagon,
buggy and binder.
A letter from Clifford A.
Stockard, of the Commission
for the Blind, indicated that
federal funds may be available
for the Foundation's work.

no trouble here.
To quality for such grants
the organization must be of
benefit to at least three states,
Howeiler said It must provide
either a special facility, a spe­
cial service, or both.

feels there is an area where
there is a deficiency — when
people lose their sight sudden­

In discussing this he used a
recent experience as illustra­
tion. He told of going out to
Tigard to see a man who lost
his sight last summer. This
man, Howeiler said, was a new
resident of Oregon. He fell off
the roof of his home an<( ap­
parently suffered brain dam­
age that caused loss of sight,
sense of smell and other trou­
ble.
Howeiler said he found that
the man had been contacted
by an agency which would have

Council Chairman Jonsrud Would Spruce Up City
Phil Jonsrud, chairman of
Sandy's city council, feels that
his town is a potentially beauti­
ful little city But Sandy is not,
right now as attractive as it
should be and can be," he says.
"I would like to see our service
clubs and other organizations
get together to spark a ‘spruce
up our city' program We need
to plant trees and shrubs and
flowers.”
Jonsrud is starting his sev­
enth year on the council. He
chairmans the police and health
committee and serves on both
the fire and water committee
and the public property com­
mittee.
A tall, quiet-spoken man who
thinks things through before
making any statements, Jons­
rud says he feels very strongly
that the city should not go over­
board in spending
money.
However, there are so many
things needing to be done that I
feel it is important we begin
now to plan for the years
ahead." he says. "I foresee a

Howeiler pointed out, and be­
cause of his reaction to this
suggestion he rejected all help,
even the important step of

’In Between’ Help
It is in this "in-between"
time, when the newly blind are
adjusting and learning to live
without sight, that the facili­

Howeiler also told the group
that hi1 had called on Mockford

most enthusiastic. "He will
contribute his help toward the
