Oral Hull 'Fun Day/
Dedication Rites Set
Sandy’s Mayor Mike Paluck had a $20,000 headache when
last week's Sandy Post came out—and a ringing in his ears
tiiat just wouldn’t stop. The $20,000 was inadvertently added
to the $7,000 park price by a prankish machine in the Post's
print shop. But Paluck’s telephones began to ring and kept
right on. Everyone wanted him to know that $27,000 was way
too much for the city to pay for that land. Paluck and the
Post agree. The land was actually offered to the city for
$7,000.

Parkers Set to Start
Restaurant and Lounge

Chet and Edith Parker planned

"We are just waiting f or
word that our liquor license

adds that a number of Sandy
area folks have written letters

The new restaurant will be
located just seven • tenths

Sandy's fastest g r o w i ng
"youngster," the recently or
ganized, Oral Hull Foundation,
has hatched some big plans for
a supercolossal "Fun Day" at
the Oral Hull Park.
Planned for the blind, their
sighted friends and all who are
interested in this project, the
list of "fun things” leaves out
practically nothing.
The hours designated are 12
noon to 6 p.m. and it's to be a
picnic at the park on Sunday,
July 28. Food a plenty will be
free to the blind, their friends
and all other guests.
Food for tn. j big
'.g picnic
is a project undertaken by the
Gresham Elks who have a deep
interest in the foundation.
Heading the food committee is
Pete Zandell, who will be as
sisted by Chuck Emerson, Phil
Cowleman and Chuck Howard.
They say they'll solicit meat
companies, dairies, beverage
houses, bakeries and amuse
ment concessions for such
goodies as ham, chicken, beef,
weiners, buns, salads, potato
etc., potato chips, popcorn, ice
cream and sno - cones, lemon
ade, ice tea, milk, coffee, cakes
and cookies.
Donations Welcome
This committee welcomes do
nations from any source.
Probably the most signifi
cant item on the afternoon’s
fun program is the formal
dedication of the park. The
American Legionaires have giv-
en a flag which will be raised
at this time. Gov. Mark Hat
field and the Clackamas coun
ty commissioners have been in
vited to attend. It is hoped that
the Governor will make a short
talk.
The recreation plans call for
a merry - go - round, under
th guiding hand of Pete Zan
dell; airplane rides, Rich Wes-
selink; horesback rides, Mrs.
Carroll; tractor rides, Duane
Knapp; simulted rocket, Pete
Zandell;
helicopter
rides,
Russ Petree; horse drawn hay
wagon rides. Pete Zandell;
four - car train - type rides,
Pete Zandell;
heavy equip
ment display, Duane Knapp;
fishing (from a tank) Jj m
Chase; dance platform, Pete
Zandell; balloons, etc., Dave
Starks.
‘Twilighters’ To Play
Music will be furnished by
that highly popular group of
young men whose lack of sight
has been more than compen
sated for by their wonderful
musical talent, the "Twilight-
ers.”
Chuck Morgan plans to furn
ish a group of square dancers.
There will be a booth on the
grounds to distribute informa
tion and receive membership
donations. M a r io n Bucholz
chairmans this facet of the op
eration.
Big plans are afoot to see
that all blind persons who can
not find transportation will have
a way to reach the beautiful
park above the Sandy river
gorge.
All in all, it should be day
to remember, whether one sees
with eyes or with fingertips.
All the "fun things” are there
especially for those who see
with their sense of touch and
smell. And the roses and pop
pies are all in bloom to scent
the air.
Big Milestone Passed
Another milestone that's just
been passed, and one that gives
the dedicated workers for the
foundation a real thrill, is the
donation of enough money to
ger the master plan for the
foundation whipped into shape.
The topographical survey,
which was the necessary first
step, was financed by the
Gresham Elks. Then everything
had to wait on the master plan
—and of course that had to
wait for money.
Now an architect will be hired
and when the plan has been
developed members feel there's
little doubt that any number of
interested service groups will
want to undertake different
projects on the site.
So this "fun day" has been
organized, that those whose
eyesight has failed them may
enjoy their own special park
and all those who are their
friends may come to enjoy it
with them.
Following the dedication and
fun day, plans are to keep the
park open for picnicking and
perhaps for camping through
out the summer months.
