SRFPD Auxiliary
To Raise Funds
EDITOR’S WORK is never done. With deadlines
to meet and news yet to write it was still
necessary to take time out yesterday morning
to clear the sidewalk in front of the Post’s
office on Main St.

To help raise money for a
new light-weight resusettator,
members of the Sandy Fire
Dept, Auxiliary will put Zip
Code directories on sale this
week. Casting about $1.00each,
the directories will serve fam
ilies as a quick and handy
means of tracking down the
Zips of those to whom you send
occasional mall or packages.
Compared to a new light r e -
suscltator of 12-15 pounds
which can easily be handled by
one person, the present resu s-
cltator In use by the Auxiliary
weighs 80 pounds and requires
two persons to handle It,
Directories will be on sale
starting Saturday In front ct
the U. S. Post Office on Main
St. and will also be available
at the Sandy Post newspaper
office.
AN ANGEL’S EYE VIEW gives

parking lot. Cold weather held
It appeared as though nearly
every child In the area - - and
about two-thlrds at their par
ents — were assembled in the
center of Sandy Saturday after
noon to greet Santa Claus on
his official pre-Christm as in
spection tour and to hope for a
winning ticket in the Gift Draw
ing sponsored by Sfandy’s Cham
ber of Commerce and business
people.
It could hardly have been a
le ss auspicious day. Too cold
to snow and too dry to rain —
It nevertheless managed to do
both at one time or another
during the afternoon.
Good
humored spectators huddled In
groups, crouched in ca rs, lurk
ed in sheltered corners or
shivered on the street for
almost three hours as the
hardier
members
of the
Chamber of Commerce manned
the platform and gave away gift
after gift (54 in all) ranging
In value from $1 to $25 or
more dollars, and then topped
off their generosity with the
grandest gift of all - - a color
TV set.
Things
started
right on
schedule with the arrival of
Santa Claus by dog sled shortly
before 3:30 and continued at a
fast pace for the next two and
a half hours. Around 6 p.m.
the last gift was claimed by
one of the high - spirited,
thoroughly
chilled
throng
which, depending on personal
stamina, came and went during
the afternoon but was unoffic
ially estimated to number close
to one thousand at the peak of
the proceedings.
The rule that you had to be
present to win was strictly ad
hered to, although after many
presents were still unclaimed
after the second round ofdraw-
ings the rules were relaxed
and those holding tickets with
only several matching digits
were declared winners.

donated presents for the draw
ing were:

Hood TV Signal Much Improved
Cablevision Inc. reports a
much improved TV signal with
the new antennas and headend
am plifiers on DeShaven Rd.
Cutover to the new equip
ment was a step by step pro
c e ss and took about two weeks.
Last to be connected were cu s
tomers in the golf course area
where some power connections
were necessary for the trans
fer.
The TV signal now delivered
to each set Is said to be virtu
ally ghost free and strong
enough for good color recep
tion. Fine adjustments to the
in-line am plifiers will be made
early next year by technician
Jerry Beach who will soon at
tend a 5 -day school on the equip
ment now tn service.
Washington State Educational
TV Channel 4 was not provided
because of a weak signal. It
may be provided in the future.
