Fly-In Breakfast
To Aid Crippled,
Retarded Children
Among those who will benefit from your generous support
of the 7th annual Kiwanis Fly-In Breakfast this coming
Sunday morning are these retarded children. These chil
dren, many of whom have never been away from home be
fore, and crippled children are guests of the Kiwanis Chil-
dren's camp at the foot of Laurel hill on Mt. Hood. The
first group arrived Sunday afternoon for a week's stay,
they are shown having an evening songfest. Six such groups
are scheduled for the summer, in what often proves to be
the only outdoor experience of their lives. The Fly-In Break
fast will be held at Rich’s airport Sunday from 7:80 a.m.
until noon.

Moonlight Sale
Tops Expectations
Last Friday night’s Moonlight
Sale, apparently Sandy’s first full-
scale mercantile promotion, sur
prised even the most optimistic:
it was a whopping success.
Shoppers thronged to the stores
in numbers reminiscent of Christ
mas Eve, all eager to take ad
vantage of the many specials of
fered by the merchants. One mer
chant claimed that Friday was
even better than last Christmas
Eve, and another, still dazed, re
marked that his specials were all
sold out 17 minutes after the sale
began.
Cafes were packed, with wait
resses running themselves rag
ged to keep up with the orders
and dishwashers spending the en-
Prexy of Kiwanis
International Elected
Edward B. Moylan Jr., Miami,

Berger, president of the Kiwanis
club of Sandy.
tire evening with their arms in
soapsuds.
The six Percheron horses spon
sored by Mike’s Drive-In had a
busy night of it, with young and
old alike standing in line to take
a free ride through the streets
of Sandy. The large horses, weigh-
uig a ton each, caused many of the
children to stare In wide-eyed
wonder.
Though perhaps many of the
shoppers were in Sandy for the
Gayway weekend to be held the
following two days, by far the
greater number, according to the
merchants, were local people—
people who will come again to shop
in Sandy.
The promotion was put on In
something of a hurry, with several
merchants contributing their time
in making a canvass of the Sandy
merchants to enlist their support.
But though hurried, it was well-
done, and a real credit to the com
petitive spirit of Sandy business
men.
As the 11 p.m. closing time drew
near, sales clerks appeared ready
to drop from fatigue. They were
tired, every one of them, but they
all agreed that the sale was a
smasheroo.
When you go to the Kiwanls
Fly-In breakfast at Rich’s air
port Sunday morning, you will
not only be able to fill your belly
with good food, you will also help
fill the heart of a handicapped child
with happiness.
For among the many children’s
projects aided by the Klwanlans
Is the Kiwanls Crippled Children’s
camp at the foot of Laurel hill
on Mt. Hood.
The first group of children ar
rived at the camp last Sunday.
There were 35 of them, mostly
retarded and most of whom have
never before had the chance to
enjoy the out-of-doors for a full
week at a time. This week's group
Is the first of six scheduled for
the summer.
For every four or five children
there Is a teenage counselor, and
senior counselors, nurses, and
other elders superintend the
week’s activities. Every effort Is
made to keep regimentation to
a minimum because, the counse
lors feel, one of the things most
lacking in these children’s Ilves
Is freedom.
The Laurel HUI Camp Is not
the only project to benefit from
your generosity, however. Klwan-
lans have as their motto “we
build’’ and they are renowned for
to inspect numerous light aircraft,
to watch sky-divers In action (bring
your binocualrs), and to take a
ride in an airplane.
To get to Rich’s airport, go
down Melnlg hill road. At the
hairpin curve Intersection, go
straight ahead, continue for about
a mile until you come to Cook
road. Turn left, go on for a quart
er-mile, and you’re there.
We’ll see you there.
Thousands Attend
Go-Karts

Gene, proprietor of Gene's Market and Grocery, isn’t just
smiling—he’s laughing, at the photographer. "Evening wear”
worn by the merchants (and the photographer) proved to
stimulate not only wisecracks but business as well.

Brown-Eyed Leona Schultz
Karting as an organized sport
entered our area in 1959 when
Perry Jones, Dee Wescott, Cliff
Heard, John Hedderley, and other
enthusiasts from the S. E. Port
land-Gresham area discovering
the great fun attraction of the min
iature racers and also the poten
tial hazard produced by their
increasing power, and speed, or
ganized and chartered the Damas
cus Rev’n Riders Kart Klub to
formulate rules to control racing
and safety standards so that all
might enjoy a true family sport on
a maximum safety level.
Since that time over 3,000 peo
ple have ridden over the twisting,
turning 1/4 mile course at Da
mascus. Many of these people have
gone on to national recognition as
champion racers.
Sandy’s ears are still ringing
from the roar of the go-karters,
and the bright red skins of thous
ands of visitors are reminding
them of the fun they had at Sandy
last weekend.
This year’s celebration was the
best yet, with large crowds turn
ing out for the races, the sky-
dlving exibltlon, the carnival, the
dance, and the chuckwagon break-
fast.
The Jaycees and all of the clt-
Izens of Sandy who cooperated
so will in his venture are to be
congratulated.
Rather than give you one big
story about the weekend, we’ve
put In several smaller stories
throughout the paper. Read them
over; we hope you like them.

attractions seemed to be this roller coaster.
