The Sm all Business A d­
ministration (SBA) has an­
nounced that Wednesday,
March 27, is the last day it will
accept disaster loan ap­
plications from persons suf­
fering loss as a result of heavy
rains and flooding in 77 Oregon,
Washington and Idaho counties
on or about this past Jan. 14.
Clackamas County is one of
the counties elig ib le for
disaster assistance.
Daniel B. Ward, regional
director, SBA, said that loan
applications had fallen off
sharply in the last few days.
Last week, he said, very few
applications were filed
“Any person who, for one
reason or another, has been
unable to complete his loan
application should make an
effort to do so as quickly as
possible. Our offices in Port­
land, Spokane, Boise and
Seattle are able to give in­
d ividu al assistance where
needed, and will be glad to help
with any unusual problems
some persons m ay have
regarding preparation of an
application,” Ward said.
The regional director said
that SBA had approved 97
disaster loan totaling 8471,605
in the three states as of Feb. 18.
Funeral services for Willard
Sullivan, Rt. 2 Box 1890 Sandy,
were held on March 15 in the

Willard Sylvester Sullivan
was born Dec. 24, 1888 in
Missouri. He was raised in the
eastern states where he
received his education.
As a young man, he moved to
Oregon to make his home. He
lived in Salem and Corvallis
where he was employed by
Blue Lake Cannery. M r.

Teamsters Local 170.
After retirement in 1966, M r
Sullivan moved to Sweet Home.
In 1973 he moved to Sandy to
live with his daughter.
W illa rd Sullivan died in
Gresham on March 12 at the
age of 75 years. He is survived
by a daughter, Johnie Anderson
and six grandchildren, all of

If we weren’t able to borrow money to buy
big items such as cars and homes, very few
of us would be able to make much progress.
It’s really just the same with your telephone
company. For example, we couldn’t provide
you with the kind of telephone service you
want today if we couldn’t borrow money.
We borrow for the same reasons you
borrow. We want to improve. And we don’t
have enough money if we just use our
monthly income. Most of that goes to
daily operating expenses. Borrowing gives
us the means to keep telephone
service progressing.
Of course, like you, we can’t get a loan
without a balanced budget; without income
and expenses in line. So just as you do,
our telephone company sometimes works
for increases in our income to match
increasing expenses and keep our budget
balanced. When we ask tor income
increases, we’re asking for the chance to
get credit. For, with a little credit, we can
go a long way toward maintaining and
improving your telephone service
