LETTERS editor QJ City Council Saidy, Oregon Gentlemen: Even as a non resident I feel that I must protest pro posed ordinance #554, as it was published in the Sandy Post. I find no fault with re moving junked cars from the streets, but I feel that 74 hours is far too short a limit for repair or storage on private property, VIEWABLE FROM THE STREET OR NOT. To cite my own recent ex perience. Entirely for financial reasons, I felt compelled to repair my own motor. Working at my own pace, interrupted by visitors, other work, trips to town for parts, yes inef ficiency on my part required two trips, I used about three weeks to do the job. Perhaps this schedule was unreasonable, I do not feel that it was. No one can argue that this job could not have been done faster, but surely there must be men in Sandy who are not much better mechanics than I. Are these amateurs to be compelled to drop all else and concentrate on one job, provid ing that job happens to be mechanical work, not screened from the street? I hope not, to do so will be to deprive of some freedom. Freedom lost in small amounts is still freedom lost. Sponsors of ordinance #554 will no doubt feel that the pro posed loss of freedom is very small, and that the loss is more than compensated by im proved beauty. I feel in direct apposition to this view. I urge my neighbors in Sandy, do not trample freedom, even a little C FOOD LISTED IN LOOT These holiday pretties are too good to eat and almost too pretty to believe anyone you can make them. But you can, and the U and I Sugar demonstrator will be at the Sandy Big Chief Market on Friday, Dec. 2, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. to show you how you can make these fascinating and clever ornaments and decorations.

Walter who was a prisoner of war in Germany during World War II, tokl of his experiences and of the aid prisoners received from the Red Cross. He stressed the importance of the Red Cross Blood Program and stated that because of the many services of the Red Cross there are op portunities for volunteers in many fields of interest. was also a part of the pattern, as well as suitable sites for schools, parks and recreational areas. This pattern, often described as a master plan, was imple mented by the adoption of zon ing and subdivision regulations by the board of commissioners and the adoption of a building and plumbing code. The acUon taken by the county commission in 1955 in estab lishing the planning commission for the purpose at setting com munity goals has sounded a call for unity among all thoughtful, creative an! interested persons willing to focus honestly on both the assets and liabilities result ing from county planning. There is much to be said for this type of undertaking. A care fully conceived plan and anhon- est effort to Implement good planning will enable the county to anticipate advantageous changes in its envirement. This means the countyites will be better able to meet competi- tive threats Instead of having to act in a defensive manner as Is often the case without proper planning. They can also maintain a measure of control over total area environment rather than control by outskie enterprises. Proper planning, accepted as a long term objective, cun help in solving many day-to-day op erating problems as we strive to meet our pattern design. Many persons fail to accept their responsibilities in county planning. Many are reluctant to accept their duties tomake their county u better county. These individuals have much more to fear from what could ha|>peii to our county if they do not assist than if they become Involved in a cooperative manner. Clackamas County, with its many unique features, Itsdiver- slfled land uses, the close prox imity at its mountain peaks to tiie metropolitan center of th«» state, presents many problems to the planning commission and its staff. Only a few years ago the end of an urban street car Une was the beginning it the farm and forest lands. With the coming of modern travel many persons are affected by our county planning and zoning ordinances in agricultural areas, which soon could tie suburban residential sites. It is in this area that opposition has arisen to some ut our plan ning regulations aid which will be the subject of your writer’s next report.

For example, a 9 KW two-zone heating system suitable for the average 800 sq. ft. home can be completely installed for as little as $3 89 per month—or a 12 KW baseboard system for a 1050 sq. ft. home for as low as $8 33 per month on ’GE's Budget Purchase Plan.
