The Oral Hull Foundation for
the Blind, Inc., has extended
an invitation to the general
public to visit the park site
this coming Sunday, July 17th.
The new caretaker’s house will
be opened for Inspection at
10 a.m., and the dedication
ceremonies will commence at
1:30 p.m. Harmony House, as
it will be called, has been made
possible through the generous
contributions of numerous per­
sons and firms, but especially
through the fine efforts and ben­
evolence of the Gresham Women
of Elks. It is in tribute to them
that Harmony House is being
dedicated, and it is they who
will welcome visitors with
punch and cookies from the mo­
ment of opening to the end of
the day.
Following dedication cere­
monies, the Gresham Women
of Elks will provide games
and entertainment for blind per­
sons both young and old. They
will be aided by members of
the BPOE 1805, also of Gresh­
am. There will bebingo, musi­
cal ball, nail-driving contests,
races, horseshoe pitching, and
other games. Prizes have been
made available by the Gresham
and Sandy merchants in suffi­
cient quantity to Insure that
every visually handicapped per­
son present will go home with
at least one memento of this
occasion.
Of interest too, is the fact
that food and beverages will be
made available free to blind
persons by the Sandy Lions Club
from their chuckwagon. Also,
this Club will have a booth
containing
blind-made pro­
ducts, which will be for sale to
the public.
Rev. Harold Fuller, pastor at
the Sandy Baptist Chapel, will
deliver the invocation at the
beginning of the ceremonies.

Hearing Set on Proposed
Hoodland Fire District
A public hearing on the recent
petition for the formation of a
Hoodland Rural Fire Protection
District has been ordered by
the board of County Commis­
sioners. The hearing, scheduled
for Wednesday, July 27 at 10
a.m. will be held in Room 201
of the County Court House, Ore­
gon City.
The territory to be included
in the proposed
district is
described in detail in the legal
notice of the hearing which
appears on page four of this
issue. Roughly the area covered
begins at the eastern boundary
of the Sandy Rural Fire Pro­
tection District west of Alder
Creek and extends east on US
26 through Rhododendron and
the summer home area of the
Forest Service corridor; north
on Lolo Pass Road, including
all homes thereon, to the edge
of the National Forest; and
south to Arrawannah, to in­
clude homes In the Wemme and
Welches areas.

Public Invited to Attend
Oral Hull Park Ceremonies
A delegation from the Hood-

will represent many concerned
citizens at a hearing with the
State
Highway
Commissiixi
Thursday, July 14, at Salem
regarding Uji. Highway
26,
which is the main route from
Portland to Mt. Hood.
Highway 26 serves as a com­
mercial route for two-thirds
of the area of the State of
Oregon. The two-lane stretch of
highway from Alder Creek to
Zig Zag, Oregon poses a con­
tinual safety
hazard
for
truckers,
loggers, hunters,
fishermen, skiers ana tourists.
Several planes and qualified
pilots will also be available
at a small charge for those
desiring to get a bird's eye
view of the beauty of our scen­
ic Sandy area.
This year, instead of rent­
ing stoves as has been the prac­
tice in the past, the club will be
cooking on stoves made by
themselves.
Members have
spent many evenings and Sat­
urdays in recent months fitting
and welding the stoves together
in Dirk Steffi’s shop. Under
the chairmanship of Spike Em­
erson and the tutelage and
"know how” of Dick the heavy
production task was finally
completed in time for use this
If the petition is approved by
the Commissioners, the next
steps necessary will be, ac-
cording to Ranger Peter Wingle,
(who has long been one of the
proponents of the formation of
a Hoodland rural Fire district),
the selection of a temporary
board of directors; ammend-
ment, where possible, of the
district's proposed boundaries
to include those wishing to join
or to exclude those who do not;
to determine a tax base for the
district; to nominate a per­
manent board of directors; and
finally, to hold an election on
the matter.
These steps may, or may not,
be taken in the above order.
Certain legalities must prevail,
but it is possible that several
questions may be voted upon
at the same time Instead of
holding seperate elections for
each.
However, if the petition is
approved - and it is expected
it will be - supporters of the
planned fire district feel there
is no doubt that the next steps
will be rapid ones and that
a final proposal on the ques­
tion will be ready for a vote
of the residents sometime in
the fall of this year.

RFPD Directors
Praise Firemen
Prompt action and efficiency
of Sandy volunteer firemen In
fighting the still unexplained
conflagration at the Firwood
School building site received
praise from the Board of Di­
rectors of the Sandy Rural Fire
Protection District at their
monthly meeting earlier this
week.
The Board noted that only
the cpiick arrival of the fire­
fighters and their equipment
at the scene of the fire, which
had already completely engulf­
ed one building, prevented the
loss of the other three build­
ings and commended them on
their ability In containment of
the fire to the already doomed
building and averting what, at
first, had appeared to be a to­
tal disaster.
Equal praise
went to the
neighboring fire departments of
Boring and Estacada, whose
prompt response to the call
for help was felt to be a vital
factor
in extinguishing the
threatening blaze. The impor­
tant roles played by the Happy
Valley fire unit that moved
into Sandy and the Clackamas
unit that moved into Boring,
to fill the vacancies and in­
sure continuing protection for
the districts in case of other
fires, was also lauded and a
vote of appreciation to ail fire
departments Involved unani­
mously passed.
Other business at the meet­
ing Included the acceptance,
with regret, of the resigna­
tion of Assistant Fire Chief
Deane Wesselink. Wesselink
sal<1 business committments
prevented him from fulfulllng
his proper duties as assistant
chief but asked that he be al­
lowed to continue In the de­
partment in a lesser role.
The Board named Len Bur­
dick and Bud Fischer to the
vacancy as co-assistant fire
chiefs and voted to Increase
their salary to $300. per year.
A salary increase from $600'
to $800 annually was also voted
for Tire Chief Lyle Seasman
311(1 fireman’s pay was raised
from $1.00 to $1.25 per hour.
