Anglican Priest
On Unusual Mission
THE
An Angelican priest on an
unusual sales mission visited
here last week as a guest of the
Society o f St. Paul at Mt.
Resurrection
Monastery in
Sandy.
The priest. Father Andeweg,
heads a clinic for deaf and
dumb children in Beirut.
Lebanon. Object o f his trip to
the L’.S. is to find outlets for
sale o f the colorful icons
(images of saints) handmade by
students
in
his
shelter
workshop.
Money
realized
from their sale will help
support further expansion of
his multi-faceted rehabilitation
work in Beirut.
Born
in
The
Hague,
Netherlands. Father Andeweg
is
a specialist
in
child
Pscyhology and rehabilitation.
He is a graduate of Leiden
University, and Cuddleston
College Oxford, England, and
attended seminary in Bern,
Switzerland. He also studied at
the University o f Minnesota
before going to Lebanon 12
years ago where he was
ordained in 1958.
From a small beginning, his
clinic for rehabilitating deaf
and dumb children has grown
® into
a school
with
an
enrollment of 150 students and
a staff o f 35 teachers and
medical personnel. In addition
to the youngsters his clinic is
teaching to read, write and
speak, Father Andeweg also
formed an “illiterate club” for
deaf and dumb adults that he
“sort of just collected.”
In the “club”, deaf and
dumb and otherwise afflicted
adults are taught not only how
to read and write but are
trained in productive skills
within their ability to learn.
Andeweg’s work is part of a
special
education
program
conducted by the Lebanonnese
Diocese headed by Arabian
Angelican Bishop Cuba’in.
Several years ago the World
Council o f Churches gave its
support to his project. With
this aid he has been able to
continue to meet increasing
demands for his rehabilitation
work that has now expanded
to include a clinic in Jordan.
An interesting offshoot of
Father Andeweg’s ministry in
Beirut is his work with Hippies,
many o f whom were attracted
to the Near East in the wake of
the
popularity
o f Hindu
mystics.

Cornerstone
Final
estimate
revisions
made on the new city hall were
prounced satisfactory by the
city council at a meeting
Monday night with architect
Charles Selig.
However, before contracts
are signed with Pearson and
Prade. low bidders for the
contract, revisions must also be
approved by the State Library
Board and the contractors.
At the counclusion o f the
meeting, evidence that Mayor
Harold Edes feels certain o f
these approvals was given when
he asked the architect to “Get
a cornerstone ready for laying
as soon as you can.”
FATHER ANDEWEG
The priest said that he found
Hippies were usually easy to
work with and said that they
had often been o f great help to
him in his projects.
Speaking on the contrasts
observed between U.S. and
Lebanonnese life, Andeweg
noted that there were many
great homes and big limousines
in Lebanon, as well as great
poverty, but in America there
are many, many comfortable
homes and nice automobiles,
and not so much poverty.
“However,” he added, “in the
United
States
everybody
works, works, works, all the
time. 1 guess that must be the
biggest difference.”
Father Andeweg ended his
monastery visit Friday and will
stop in Minnesota and New
York
on business before
returning to Beirut.
Driver Convictions
Increase in January
Oregon drivers got off to a
bad start in January with
30,333 of them convicted of
violating traffic laws.
Last year convictions for the
m o n th
totaled
28,127,
according to the Department
of Motor Vehicles.
The monthly report also
noted that the department
suspended 3,453 driver licenses
under mandatory provisions of
Oregon law and 389 under
discretionary action of the
agency.
License suspension periods
vary from 30 days to one year.
Some are indefinite. This
means licenses are suspended
until drivers comply with some
provision o f the law. For the
m o st
p a rt,
in d e fin ite
suspensions involve failure to
comply
with
the
state’s
fincncial responsibility law.
The DMV noted that the
relatively small number of
Oregon drivers who fail tc
carry
insurance
liability
coverage are often unaware of
the
difficulties
they
are
producing for themselves when
they run afoul o f this law.
In the event o f an accident
such drivers face suspension of
auto and driver licenses, as well
as
in cr ea se d
insurance
premiums. Once required to
comply with the law, coverage
m u st
be
m a in ta in ed
continously for five years or
suspensions are again ordered.
The best advice, says the
department, is not to drive
without coverage.

Mobile Home Parks
Seek Area Sites
News
last
week
of
applications to build several
mobile home parks in the
Sandy vicinity was received
with mixed feeling in the
community and brought a
sizeable delegation o f area
residents to the Clackamas
County Planning Commission
meeting
in
Oregon
City
Monday night.
Among those attending were
members
of
the
Sandy
Elementary School Board. Bob
Grokett o f the Sandy Planning
Commission and John Mills
representing the Sandy Area
Chamber o f Commerce.
Mills
reporting on the
meeting at the Chamber of
Commerce luncheon Tuesday
said
that
one
of
the
applications on the Planning
Commission agenda was that of
P o rt-W est
C o n str u c tio n
C om pany
requesting
a
conditional use change to
develop a 151-unit mobile
home park between Kelso
Road and Jarl Road. The area
is now zoned R-30, single
family residential.
Another conditional
use
change was requested by
William C. and Ruby Schneider
to establish a mobile home
park for large mobile homes
with recreation, utility and
residential buildings on the Old
Mt. Hood Highw.iy, between
Dunn Road and Kelso Road.
Present zoning o f the area is
RA-1, Rural (Agri.) single
family residential.
Mills told Chamber members
that although he endorsed the
proposals before the Planning
Commission he made it clear
that this was purely his
personal opinion. He believed,
he said, that in the long run
properly constructed and well
equipped mobile home parks
would be a good thing for the
area and that we could not and
should not try to keep them
out.
Jack Callaghan, upper grade
p r in c ip a l
and
a c tin g
superintendent
of
Sandy
Elementary school, also spoke
at the luncheon. He explained
that the school board was
con'erned about the mobile
home parks because they could
bring a sudden influx of
children into
the already
crowded school district.
“Even if you estimate only
one child per unit,” he said,
“that would put 300 more
youngsters into the schools
from these two proposed parks
alone.”
Callaghan pointed out that
this could spell disaster for the
present educational programs
and force the schools into
double shifts. He said this
number could be absorbed
gradually in a normal growth
pattern, but not overnight.
New schools or additions to
present schools would have to
buik' to provide for them he
said. He added that this takes
not only time but money and
present bonding capacity o f
the district could not provide
the funds.
Callaghan emphasized that
he had nothing against the
mobile homes themselves that
unlike
normal
suburban
development that takes years
to mature mobile home parks
can emerge fully grown in a
matter o f a few weeks.
Hearing Called
On Boring Area
Zone Change
Revision o f the Sandy River
Development Pattern will be
discussed before the Clackamas
County Planning Commission
at a public hearing Monday,
March 10 at 7:30 p.m. in
Circuit Court Room 2, County
Courthouse.
The proposed revision would
amend the present pattern
from ‘potential single family
residential”
to
“potential
industrial.”
All
p ro p erty
under
consideration is located in the
Boring area Section 36 T1S,
R3E, W.M. Further details may
be found in the legal notice
section o f this issue.
In discussing the proposals,
most chamber members agreed
that mobile home parks could
be of great benefit to the
business
climate
of
the
community. However, many
felt that they would be more
welcome
if
existing
tax
inequities were amended so
that mobile homes were taxed
more equally with the home
owner for school support.
It was brought out that the
Port-West application had been
eleted
from the Planning
Commission agenda Monday
night because of insufficient
notice prior tc the meeting and
that because o f the Schneider
application had been taken
under advisement. Hearings
will be held on these and other
similar applications at a later
date.

By Den 4. Pack 248
Sandy
We have been trying to make
a paper weight. We followed
the directions exactly.
Place a small figure in
play-doh. Place this in the lid
o f a baby food jar. The
play-doh will adhere to the lid.
Meanwhile, fill the jar with
water, add some glitter and a
drop o f baby oil. Put glue
around the lid and screw onto
the jar. Shake and watch the
snow fly.
Something happened to our
paper weights. The glitter stuck
in globs to the back of the deer
figure we had used, the dye in
the play-doh turned the water
a murky color, making the
figure invisible.
We didn’t give up; we tried
another recipe.
This one said to put some
instant tapioca in water and let
soak. Then run water through
it until it was clear. We tried
the play doh again, this time
letting it dry thoroughly,
hoping color would not seep
into the water if it were dry.
When the play-doh was dry
and the tapioca washed, they
were put into the jar with the
water.
We regret to say this was not
a success either. Now the water
turned cloudy and the tapioca
looked like a mass o f frog eggs
and settled around the base of
the figure, again making it
almost invisible.
We are not licked yet
though, the other day we heard
that
if
you
use
moth
crystals.....
