Oral Hull Unit
Annual Meeting
Slated Saturday
The Oral Hull Foundation for the
Blind will hold Its annual mee ting
Saturday at the Presbyterian
church in Sandy.
The foundation is developing the
Northwest’s first outdoor recre­
ational facility for blind and vis­
ually handicapped persons on the
Sandy river.
A number of Gresham andSandy
groups, one of the largest being
the Gresham Elks, have taken part
in the project.
The meeting will be preceded by
a 12:30 p.m. luncheon, with the
business session to be held at 1:30.
Foundation members are invited
to bring their wives or husbands.
Main item of business to be
conducted is election of seven
board members of the 21-member

ceipt of a $50 donation from the
Gresham Jaycettes.
Hood Land Woman’s Club
Will Meet Monday
Women of the mountain area are
reminded the Hoodland Women's
club will hold Its first meeting of
the new year on Monday, Jan. 6,
at 12 noon in the Mt. Hood Lion’s
Club Hall at Wemme. A sack
lunch should be brought and cof-
fee will be furnished.
The newly organized Women’s
club extends a membership invi­
tation to all women of the area
between Alder Creek and Gover­
nment Camp. The group is plan-
ning a money raising project for
each month of the year and pro­
ceeds will be used for the bet-
ferment of the Mountain commun-
ity.
One of the main items of busi­
ness before the city council when
It meets next Monday will be the
setting of a date for a special
election to let the voters of Sandy
state their preference on the in­
stallation of water meters within
the city.
Section 23 of City Ordinance
93 specifically permits water me­
ters to be Installed. However, a
petition brought before the city
council in December and signed
by 205 Sandy residents requested
the issue be brought to a vote
of the people at a “special elec­
tion.”
Also expected to be put on the
ballot at the special election is the
question of consolidation of the
Sandy Fire Department with the
Rural Fire Protection District.
The c: .'.solldation vote was reques­
ted by a petition to the city coun­
cil in November.
The almost non-existent Sandy
Fire Department at present con­
tracts with the Rural Department
to fight city fires, paying the
RFPD $6,000 annually for the pro­
tection. Many feel it would be
cheaper in the long run and of
mutual advantage If both fire units
were to consolidate.
Robert W. Strubel, 69, of Bright­
wood, a certified public account­
ant, died Monday evening after a
brief illness.
Strubel was secretary of the Mt.
Hood Lions club and secretary and
treasurer of the Hoodland Cham­
ber of Commerce and active in
the Mt. Hood Pow-Wowers.
A longtime Brightwood resident,
he was also a director of the Oral
Hull Foundation for the Blind.
Services will be held Friday
at 1:30 p.m. at Bateman funeral
chapel in Gresham, with private
commitment.

Business
License
Tax Lags
When the business license tax
for the City of Sandy became
due and payable on Jan. 1, 1964,
according to city recorder, Ruth
Loundree, less than 50 per cent
of local businesses had purchased
licenses.
The new city law, ordinance No.
547, which was adopted by the city
council last November, was de­
signed to collect revenue for the
purpose of “Improving the general
business climate within the city
limits.’’
Application forms for the license
were mailed last month to 90 mer­
chants and individuals within the
city limits, as well as to many
outside the city, who do business
in Sandy. The tax is to be paid by
proprietors and Includes those en­

The Studebaker company has
stated positively that there is no
truth in the rumor they are go­
ing out of the auto business. The
rumor started last October when
the Company announced its future
production would be concentra­
ted in its Hamilton, Ontario plant.
Because of the rumor, which
spread like wild-fire, many people
hesitated about buying a Stude-

Mayor Establishes Committee
For Meinig Park Planning
Mayor Paluck has directed the
City Planning Commission to es­
tablish a committee to coordinate
plans for the future development
of Meinig Park. Convenient loca­
tion of the recently acquired ten
acre tract, on which is the site
of the proposed new city hall,
enhances it recreational possi­
bilities. Various suggestion for use
of the land much of which is
wooded, have been made by local
organizations.
Meinig Memorial Park, to which
the city received title last month,
was so named at the request of

A. G. Erickson, District Direc­
tor of the Internal Revenue Serv­
ice for Oregon, announced today
that the period for filing 1963 Fed­
eral income tax returns will ex­
tend from Jan. 2 to April 15, in­
clusive. In order to provide ade­
quate
information to taxpay­
ers during this period, the Port­
land office, 827 NE Oregon St.,
(Telephone 234-8211), wlllprovide
information service Monday
through Friday, from Jan. 2
through April 15. Office hours for
tax information at Portland will be
from 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.
Erickson stated that, “The tax­
payer coming in for help will be
asked to fill out as much of his
return as possible, and he will be
given information needed to com­
plete the return.” He suggest­
ed that the taxpayer telephone
for information before coming to an
Internal Revenue Service office,
since essentially the same serv­
ice is available by telephone as at
the office.
A two-year-old girl drowned
early Friday afternoon shortly
after wandering away from her
home.
The half - submerged body of

Scheberger
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred
Schneberger. Rt. 1, Sandy, was
found by her father caught under
a log in nearby Whisky Creek close
to the Old Barlow 1 rail cressing.
It was reported that Deborah had
been playing on the back porch of
her family home a few minutes
before she was missed. A search
for the tot. which was started im­
mediately, became more frantic
by the minute until a tiny shoe
caught in the mud on the creek
bank led her father to the scene
of the tragedy.
It is supposed that Deborah went
in wading or was trying to cross
the rain-swollen stream when she
lost her footing and was carried
downstream by the unusually swift
current.
