Men for the Vietnamese Maw
Just how many American soldiers
eventually will be sent to Viet-Nam?
The ultimate answer probably rests
in Peking or Moscow but even if the
war continues to go ‘ well", probably
far more than twice as many as we
have now.
Former Vice-President Richard Nix
on says the figure of 500,000 is likely.
Nixon recently completed a tour of
South Viet-Nam and gave his 500,000
hint after conferring with military
leaders there. Other estimates range
up to 750,000.
The Johnson administration obvi
ously is saying nothing with fall
elections so close at hand. But the
sharp increase in October draft calls
makes it pretty evident what is hap
pening.
We currently have something like
290,000 men in Viet-Nam and this
force apparently is far too few for the
job. A massive American commitment
obviously lies ahead.
And with draft calls being doubled,
it's difficult to see how the Adminis
tration much longer will be able to
give privileged sanctuary to reserv
ists. Some senators are demanding
that reservists be given the same
chance to serve in Viet-Nam as draf
tees. Sec. McNamara thus far doesn't
agree.
But w’e suspect that with more and
mere men being drafted, reservists will
begin to feel the pinch, too. There's
little reason for them to stay at home
while draftees are being sent into
battle.
College Enrollment Looks Good
Preliminary indications are that
Mt. Hood Community College will
meet or exceed its enrollment projec
tions this fall.
Actually, something over 30 percent
erf the expected number of students
already have signed up. Another 30
per cent are expected by Sept. 1 and
the balance by the time classes start
in mid-September.
The encouraging enrollment fig
ures are especially significant in view
of what has happened at Portland
State. There, little more than half
the expected students have showed
up.
Mt. Hood really doesn’t know what
to expect since there is no past his
tory to draw upon. However, the
State Dept, of Education has esti
mated a first-term student load (full
time) of 751.
Obviously, then, something like 250
full-time students already are reg
istered. And more are coming in daily.
Mt. Hood is enjoying the growing
appeal of community colleges. It's an
inexpensive type of education, close
to home, and with a broad appeal to
all types of students.
As we've said a dozen times before,
people just haven't seen anything
yet. The College bids well to become
one of the biggest things ever to hit
our area.
Inis beautiful Sandy yard could easily be permitted to turn to weeds and tall grass, but
the owner takes pleasure in presenting a lovely scene for the benefit of passersby.
Yes, this optical oasis is smack dab on Main Street, our town. Recognize it?

We hadn’t realized we’d been
workmg in a glass house until
some of the stones we have
been throwing lately were pitch
ed back at us. It was shattering,
too, to find they were right on
target, as we discovered when
we peeked out of the seldom
used back door at the lot be
hind the office. Such weeds!
Such trash! Such a mess!
Not wanting (if you’ll forgive
the metaphor mixing) any more
of our pigeons to come home to
roost, we went right to work
with our red faces and cleaned
It up. Anyhow, now we KNOW
the pictures we’ve been taking
lately Aave had some results.
Jo Lewis, the other 50 per
cent of the office staff, took In
the recent fair in Gresham
and told us of her interview
with Dennis Day. Jo reports
that he was just like real peo-
pie — “only nicer than most”
and was particularly interested
in talking with her children —
“perhaps” she said, “because
he and his wife have nine of
their own and expecting their
tenth in October.”
Jo took several pictures of

most prized possession, since
he autographed it for her with

Combine the personal warmth
of this man with his vocal talent
and It’s no wonder that his pop
ularity has survived over two'
decades in the fickle field of
entertainment and th it his fans
include people of all ages.

Commissioner Reports
Lhirlng the days of yester
year, following the days of har
vesting the hay, grains and
crops, and after the round
up, there was a time prior to
the beginning of the fall and
winter farm work when the rural
population relaxed a bit. This
was the time of the community,
county and state fairs.
As new areas developed In
exhibiting, the time table for
holding these fairs was some
what rescheduled. The county
fairs, normally held in mid
September, were advanced to
mid-August to allow greater
participation tn fair activities
and exhibits by youngsters in
4-H and Future Farmers of
America. While this was so,
many a student’s heart was sad
dened as one of the principle
pleasures of the school year was
eliminated - “the day at the fair
with his or her classmates”.
Your writer recalls the years
of the mid 20’s when an allow
ance of a dollar would provide
a gala day of entertainment
and goodies at the fair. Pop
corn, candied apples, or a huge
scoop of real ice cream could
be purchased forfivecents. For
a nickle or a dime you could
get the best ferris wheel or
merry-go-round ride. It was no
wonder so many school young
sters, who looked forward to
that grand day at the County
Fair, were disappointed when
the fairs were rescheduled.
It was amusing to listen to
and watch the hucksterpromotg
his various wares and glmicks,
which on occasions resulted in
harsh comments being made by
his victim. The huckster soon
gave way to the super salesman,
the hackney and trotting races
gave way to horseracing and
catching the greased porker on
the run became a thing of
past.
Yet, Clackamas County Fair
has continued to Increase in
popularity. Dedicated persons,
serving on the fair board, have
kept the Clackamas County Fair
Bn a true community and county
atmosphere thus making our
fair the finest county fair on
the Pacific coast.
The in
gredients of quality and quantity
of exhibits are outstanding. The
number of agricultural exhibits
this year will be greater than
normal due to the early grow-
Cool Off,
Ing season.
More than 1500 4-H boys and
girls will exhibit many projects
including work in home econ
omics, general projects, live
stock, poultry and rabbits and
Judge the same. Over 200 Fu
ture Farmers of America will
exhibit dairy and beef cattle,
sheep,
swine, rabbits and
poultry as well as crops and
construction units.
Added attractions, dear to
all, will be many. Hundreds of
head of livestock, some valued
in the thousands of dollars, will
be shown. Five night« of bar
becued dinners will be avail
able at a nominal cost. There
will be style revues galore,
are exhibits,
quarter horse
showings and a multitude of
exhibits.
Grand professional
entertainment will be at the fair
for the enjoyment of everyone.
A free rodeo will be another
added attraction every night
with a grand finale Saturday
night, August 20th, of a fire
works display.
All this and ample free park
ing is available for the price of
admission to the grandest
County Fair at Canby, Oregon
on August 16, 17,18,19th and
20th. Let’s go!
