• n w r » ., i ”. nS.nZ““* Xw By NELL HOWE Hood-Land Reporter A tte n d e d a surprise birthday and house warming party for Virginia Seal in Sandy. Thelma Riggs and I w ere the ones from the mountain. There were 28 women and nine children p re s e n t fo r th e b u ffe t lu n c h e o n . V irg in ia was certainly surprised. She was under the impression that we were going out to lunch, as one of the regular outings of our club. When more and more women started showing up, she went in a rather small state of shock, and I don’t think she recovered for the rest of the day. We all presented her with a beautiful maple cupboard and an envelope with cash. Our thanks to Lois Hoffart for doing such a magnificent job of organizing the whole affair. Two weeks ago I attended the annual reunion of the graduating class of 1932 of Sandy High School. This year we also had the class o f 1933 join in with us. There were about 60 people present at the Mayfair House in Portland. I went down with Johnny and Arletha Mills. Last year the class o f 1932 decided we would have a reunion each year, and at the meeting it was voted to have the 1934 class join us next year. So that will be 1932 *33 and ’34 for the next reunion. It is always interesting to visit with the people that you never get to see from year to year. This year a few were there that were unable to attend last year. We just go on and on. It was decided that the guest book would be handed down from member to member, until the last one here would take it with him. That should be interesting. This may be hard for you to believe, but some of our teachers still attend and seem to be in better shape than some of their past students. Guess getting rid o f us, lengthened their stay among us. Keep it up. Took our jaunt over to Hood River and it was raining here when we left, but turned out to be fairly nice over there. The pear blossoms were thick, and what apple blossoms we could find were just at their best. Not quite open, and real pink. All the orchards had their smudge pots out, and were having to use them at night. Coming home we had heavy snow fro m P arkd ale to Government Camp. So winter is still around. We had snow at home Tuesday and Wednesday. Congratulations to Frances and Boyd North on the birth of their new baby daughter. She arrived last Wednesday less than a half hour after they arrived at the hospital. Glad they hurried. A couple o f very happy parents and a delighted brother. Ed and Helen Cook just returned from a trip to Reno, Lake Tahoe, San Francisco and Sacram ento. They had a wonderful time. Tried to make it up to Virginia City, but it snowed so hard they couldn’t make out the road, so turned back to Reno. Afraid they would make it up there, and then be snowed in. Cathy Durr is home from the hospital and most happy to be there. She is still pretty wobbly, and won’t be turning her head for a spell. She had a spinal fusion, and these things take time. Anyhow we are glad she is home and doing so well. Will be moat happy to have her back in the shop. Gladys Perkins home from the hospital, and know she is most happy to be there. No happier than we are that she was able to return to the mountain she loves. Charlie and Judy Lake off to Hawaii for a ski resort meeting for 17 days. Some o f the Darrs are also there. I am positive they are having a ball. The Forest Service held a joint farewell party for Lyal and Joyce Zaugg and Keith and Carol Schnare. Lyal is being transferred to the Portland office, but they will still live here. Keith is being transferred to Estacada. A buffet dinner was at Zig Zag Inn. They put on a skit, about the bumbling engineeers, which was taken in the humorous was it was intended. Gifts were presented to the departing familes. There were 35 people attending. That’s the trouble with the Forest Service employees, we just get them all busy in the community, and then they up and transfer them, and we’ve to start all over breaking in a new set. Congratulations to them both on their new employment and the very best to them. Mr. and Mrs. Chuck Smith of the Shake Inn wish to announce to their many friends that a lovely girl named Pat, is marrying their youngest son Duane Saturday, May 10, in Seattle. They also wish to e x te n d m any thanks to everyone for giving them such an unexpected warm welcome to the community. They wish everyone to join them in their happiness at the marriage of their last child. Now they can relax. They have five lovely grandchildren, at the present time. Steve Twombley, son of Mrs. Evelyn Trumbly, returned home from Vietnam April 10 and has been discharged from the Army. Steve is palnning on starting school at Mt. Hood Community College in June.

Schools, cities and counties in the state would pay nearly $5 million in sales taxes if the law passes. State Sen. Vernon Cook, D-Gresham, said that he has learned this from the State Tax Commission. He pointed out that this w ould mean these public agencies would be paying one tenth of all sales tax collected, Also, most o f the sales tax paid by local districts would come from a property tax increase, he said. “The deeper one goes into the facts o f the proposed sales tax package, the less attractive it gets,” Cook declared. And added, “the amazing thing is that the sponsors o f ihe sales tax have the nerve to describe it as tax relief. The fact is it will increase almost everyone’s taxes, including those of state and local government.” Gresham Joins Floral Parade The Gresham Chamber of Commerce will have a float in th e 1969 Portland Rose Festival Parade and Gresham, Centennial and Sam Barlow high schools will provide a band and princesses for the Parade.
