R e p r e s e n ta tiv e s Martin, Cancer Crusade Ends Soon Ned Dyal, Sandy CPA, has agreed to accept donations to the American Cancer Society during its annual Crusade against Cancer.

Strawberry Crop Fair Strawberry growers in the area are watching the calendar and the weather to determine if berries will be past ripe when school is out June 6. During the warm days berries started ripening rapidly but with the rain they have slowed. However, berries will be larger. Growers now believe there will not be many berries ready before June 6. School children are the chief source o f labor supply for the berries harvest. The crop in most areas is pretty fair but there are a few fields in windy sections that suffered from the winter cold. Pynn and Thornton said they strongly support a revised liq u or revenue distribution formula which would boost the share of revenues that cities receive from 14 to 20 per cent Legislative approval of the plan, they said, would result in an ad d ition al $4 million revenue to hard - pressed city governments during the next biennium. TI^j aidicateu that Sandy would receive $11,411 during the next two years under the present formula. If the revised formula is adopted, the city would receive $16,302. T he share received by Clackamas County will remain at its present percentage. The increase for cities will result in a reduction in revenue to state government. The Clackamas County Legislators said “This is just another example o f the efforts being made by this Legislature to return every dollar possible to local government for direct or indirect property tax relief.’ The Legislature’s joint Ways and Means Committee had been directed by Legislative le a d e r s to strip all new programs from the proposed budget in order to send as much money as possible back to financially struggling local governments. In A d d it io n , B u d g et increases for existing programs have been cut back to make savings on the state level. T h e Clackamas County Legislators indicated that $75 million o f an anticipated state revenue growth o f $100 during the next two years will be sent back to cities, counties and local schools to help with local financing problems.

NEW WING PROPOSED FOR Timberline Lodge is shown at left in this artist's concept. View is from rear of lodge and shows corridor connecting wing to main building. The wing was part of original design but was never built. Although skilled craftsmen such as those who built original lodge are no longer available, it is planned to move many of their carvings and panels from upper floors of present lodge, where they are rarely seen, to walls of corridor where they can be enjoyed by all. Among other things, wing will provide dining and convention space for 250 persons. Such accommodations are not now available. (Drawing courtesy U. S. Forest Service! District Ranger Tells Hood, Timberline Plans Land utilization plans for the Zig Zag District and proposed improvements and development o f the Timberline recreational complex were detailed by Forest Ranger Dick Buscher at the Sandy Area C ham ber of Commerce meeting Tuesday. Stating that the National Forest is dedicated to ‘ its highest public use,’ Buscher said this calls for long range planning and vision to protect the limited amount o f space available for recreational and a s s o c ia te d c o m m e r c ia l uses-even though it might be years before development. The Ranger spoke of the $3 m illi o n p r o p o sa l for development o f a Timberline Lodge recreational complex and pointed out that over 800,000 persons visit the lodge each year. Of this number he said only 12 per cent were skiers. The majority com e to enjoy some of the many other recreational aspects of the area. The proposed plans call for construction o f a new wing for the Lodge itself, a Day Lodge, a vehicle maintenance and storage building and quarters for employees to consist of dormitories for men and for women as well as apartments for married couples working at the Lodge. He said Timberline Lodge is overcrowded and rapidly deteriorating in atmosphere.

At present, he pointed out there is no service entry nor elevator operating at the Lodge. The same entrance must be used for bringing in laundry, hauling out garbage, welcoming visitors and carrying out injured skiers. In order to restore and preserve the unique and esthetic beauty o f Timberline Lodge, Buscher noted that there is really no alternative than for the Federal Government to provide the funds necessary for the suggested development. He said the proposal is now before Congress and it will be up to it to add, delete or approve it as it is. Buscher said it would take only about three years to complete the project once funds are available and contracts let.
