of Commerce.
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

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.

FDR as “going out of his way” to

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

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.

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

The survey also showed that
people wanted lots of ground

20 years, w ill continue to be the

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

Heading the list was police
