By re-opening talks with the state highway people now, lets hope we can get a promise from them to budget funding to have the road completed sometime in 1973. It would be a nice addition to the Centennial Year events planned for Sandy in 1973. Tom McCall: Independent Gov.

It is estimated that it w ill take at least 30 volunteers to get the program going. The Chamber in their regular weekly meeting on Tuesday voted to support a float if enough volunteer workers showed interest at this meeting. The Sandy Centennial Committee has also expressed an interest in supporting such a float. Jim Patrick of Sandy Truck Lines has volunteered to co-chairman the float committee if enough persons show interest in working on the project.

Disclosure that long before Pearl Harbor, Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt actively was seeking to involve us in World War II comes as no great surprise. To anyone who lived at the time, Roosevelt s decision to eventually involve U.S. forces was pretty ob vious. For better or for worse, he early decided that we would fight the Germans. Papers just now being declassified by the British government picture FDR as “going out of his way” to provoke incidents between ourselves and the Hitler regime. In fact, Prime Minister Winston C hurchill is quoted as saying Roosevelt was “ obviously deter- mined to enter the war. Our governm ent has not yet declassified any significant body of World War II papers but they probably would say the same thing. For our part, we long have felt that the full story of Pearl Harbor hasn't been told. There have been abundant hints that we had advance warning of what was coming but for some reason, did nothing. Pearl Harbor, of course, galvanized the American people and utterly sealed our entry into the war. When these p ap ers finally a re declassified-probably long years in the fu tu re- we predict historians will have something infinitely more in teresting over which to pore. The expert prognosticators say that the number of automobiles in the M etropolitan Portland area will double in the next 20 years Population will be up from 1 million to 1,700.000 Faced with these figures CRAG (Columbia Region of Associated Governments) is making studies on how the area can continue to be feasibly controlled for liveability. (CRAG is an association of representatives of govern ments in five counties: Mult nom ah, W a s h in g t o n , Clackamas, Columbia and Clark County in Washington. All members of the association are elected officials from the several governments. The executive director is Homer ( handler who has been with CRAG since it was formed in 1967.) CRAG is attem pting to develop an over all plan for the entire area. But before this can be done a mountain of facts must be gathered. Also the attitudes of people must be learned. Chandler spoke to Gresham Kiw anis Club members Monday night and outlined what had been learned up to date. It has been determined that people s till w ill want to live in a suburban atmosphere. A survey showed that 90 per cent of the people wanted to live in single family homes. Chandler said that even though a number of apartments seemed to be going up it did not mean that people did not want single family homes. The survey also showed that people wanted lots of ground around their homes. There were 94 per cent who said the> wanted building lots at least IOC by 110 feet. The survey people are con vinced that the auto, in the next 20 years, w ill continue to be the mode of transportât ion. They learned that mass transportation was low on the list of priorities in peoples minds. It is almost at the bottom of the list. The only lower priority was parks and recreation. Heading the list was police protection, followed by fire protection, w ater supply, hospitals and sewage disposal In their studies CRAG people have determined that local governments w ill continue to (Continued on Page 12) YOU NEVER _ CAN GET ANYTHING FOR a song - you always HAVE ID GIVE AT LEAST A FEW NOTES FOR IT Y o u 'll sing w ith satisfaction, once you learn a bo ut th e fin e service a t Sandy Rexall Drug.
