GROUND BREAKING ceremonies for the new sub station at Dover for the Sandy Fire Department took place last week. The Dover station will house one engine and is expected to be ready sometime in Sept. The sub station located on Bear Creek Rd. was one of the im provements approved by voters in the spring budget election. It’s that time of year again when thin wisps of fog stretch across bits of landscape in the morning. Some evening breezes are sharpened by a coolness that tells us that the time we will yet enjoy out of doors is shorter than we would like it to be and we had better get busy if we are to enjoy nature to the fullest. What is there to do outside? Some ask why the outdoors is so great and to that person lies the greatest adventure ever ex perienced in a lifetime. A quiet hike to the isolated areas where the sound and smell of motor vehicles cannot be found will open the eyes of anyone. There are two ways to take such a walk into the world of mother nature. The most ex citing is by yourself, of course with at least one partner or all of your family. Take food, water and clothing to let you be gone a couple days. If you want a record of your wanderings, take a camera and supply of film. The second way is with an experienced guide and plans to venture even deeper into the fast disappearing wilderness area for an even longer stay. The guide need not be the professional type charging $50 a day but someone who is ex perienced enough to keep you out of trouble. What will you see that you want your children to record and tell to others? Chances are that you won’t see a thing but trees and plant life of the mountains unless you abandon your mileage marathon and relax to an easy pace free of I noise. The whole forest will sud- I denly burst into life of all kinds. I Some animals quite small and I agile, plants and birds never I Nursing homes examined Dr. Dean N.

Try sitting quietly for more than a 10-minute rest period and watch in the direction from which the breeze com es, Animals and birds of a shy nature will avoid the area you accupy when they are down- ivind from you. A quiet, patient search of the lorizon and then sweeps of loser areas will show life you iave never seen before. Men who work in natures garden are not numerous and they have come to know the wilderness area creatures and their habits. You too will know more as you watch and if you want detail, take binoculars to allow an even closer look. You probably wonder the reason for such encouragement to hit the wilderness trail but it is time for us to learn something of nature and put aside the material things in favor of being able to ap- preciate and enjoy those things Thur»., August 26. 1971 (Sec. 1) SANDY (Ore.)
