SANDY, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1965
Kay Randell Honored At Banquet
Perry J, Long, Northwest
distributor of the Kirby Co.
invited Kay to be guest of honor
at a banquet last Sat. night at
the Multnomah Hotel. She was
presented with a brand new Kir
by vacuum cleaner and $500.
gift certificate from the Kirby
Co.
The gift certificate was pur
chased from Ellen’s Klozet at
Sandy and is to be used by
Kay and her two daughters,
Tinker and Mary Liz, to re
place some of the clothing she
lost during the flood.
Kay credits her sheep dog,
Toby, as having had the in
stinct to know disaster was
close at hand. Toby caused Kay
to spend a fitful night Dec. 21,
by waking her every little while
as he paced the floor and whin-
ned.
"That’s you," seems to say Perry J. Long, northwest
distributor for Kirby Co., as he points to picture of Kay
Randell clipped from Life Magazine and hung on the wall
of his Portland office. "Yep, that’s me," acknowledges Kay.

At about 9:30 A.M. the foi
ling day, Kay phoned her friends
and neighbors, the Jack Saund
ers, and said, "Come on over to
my place and see the river -
this is a sight you’ll never see
again!” In telling her story
Kay remarked, "little did I
know”!
County Dump Is Closed,
Road Work Progressing
Clackamas county commis
sioners
have
temporarily
closed the county dump located
at Brightwood and ask coopera
tion of local residents.
According to Commissioner
Stan Skoko the dump will be
closed until further notice. He
emphasized “this is a tem
porarily closure until the roods
are widened here, not over one
month.”
For the time being residents
are requested to take their
trash, etc. to the Sandy dump.
Over the past weekend limit
ed access has been afforded to
all residents and other persons
providing adequate evidence of
ownership in these flooded
areas they stated.
Most county roads are in
satisfactory condition for car
and smaller truck travel. An
exception to this is Lolo Pass
which is still closed and on
Larsen Road at Brightwood.
Runs to Sandy
Portland Stages is prepared
to add a daily run betweenSandy
and Portland to provide partly
for service being abandoned by
T railways.
The company says a new run
will start from Sandy at 7:40
a.m. and from Portland at 5:19
p.m., augmenting its service
already provided between those
communities.
Associated Press reports
Trailways obtained permission
from the state public utility
commissioner

bus schedules between Portland
and Rhododendron.

Kay Randell of Rhododendron
appeared in the Jan. 8 issue
of Life magazine being hauled
across the Zig Zag River in a
bo1 sun’s chair. She was not
alone - she carried her vacuum
cleaner in her arms.
That the vacuum cleaner was
easily recognizable as a par
ticular kind and that the picture
was captioned to bring atten
tion to the vacuum as being the
"only possession she saved,”
has brought surprising results
to Kay.
At Larsen Road county crews
are working from both direc
tions but it will be impossible
to place a portion of the road
back into its original path at
the present time.
In a few cases it still neces
sary for residents to walk into
their homes. In these instances,
the roads will allow them to
reach within 1000 feet of the
residences.
The commissioners indicated
renovation of county roads on

this week they intend to form-
ulate plans for the complete
restoration of the county’s

ADS ARE FAMOUS
FOR FAST RESULTS
Some of the mothers appar
ently were excited about this
class project, too, for they sent
homemade bread, and even
some coffee cake, along with
their children to school. (After
all, what good was the butter
if there wasn’t something to
spread it on. And, of course,
grandma would bake home-

have a supermarket to run to
for a store-bought loaf of
bread.)
About 10:15 this particular

Just in time for lunch the
butter was made and placed in
the glass tray prepared for it.
One of the main objects to
be learned from this class,
explained the teacher, is the
contrast in modes of living
during the early days compared
to modern times. Talking with
the students one found they had
learned their lessons well but
by observing them for a short
time there was another trait
discovered--they like to eat,
too!

Approval of a$200,000feder

Jackson, civil defense direc

The plea for funds in this
area was sought last week after
Jackson and a group of Army
Engineers surveyed the past
destruction and recognized the
potential disaster should a sud
den rise in the river develop.
Also, considered was the spring
freshet expected in the next

funds were granted for neces
sary measures to stop further
bank erosion and in some cases
to put the Sandy, Salmon, and
Zig Zag Rivers and Wildcat
Creek back in their normal
channels.
Survey groups are now in the
area and an emergency opera
tion center is being opened at
Wemme Lions Club, same site
as the Red Cross Disaster Re
lief Center. Army Corps of En
gineers will headquarter here
with Harry Hendrickson, con
struction engineer, in charge.
The surveyors have already
started surveying above Sleepy
Hollow Bridge. This will be the
first location for work under
the emergency grant. In this
location the shore on the right
bank belongs to the county and
immediate permission is avail
able to go to work.
Permits and easements for

Jackson, they must get this
permission from the property
owners. A reasonable amount
of leg work and time is involv-

law 875. It Is an unlimited
fund provided by President
Johnson for disaster areas.

primary goals be set - up for
this year and that the chamber
strive to accomplish them. One
of his proposals Included the

were the need for a new city
