Isn’t wonderful what a little faith can do, was By Dewey Faith like that “can move mountains. in the community could become imbued with a will to do, no matter how small, something to further the in- to tally the advancements which could come. \\ a land on the west It now has become “a man" and must act in the way usual to men. It cannot go on as it has in the past just being an area—it must become a city, it you will. Of course there will be many who say “wc must not which an unincorporated area is missing, and sec if there is any “saving". 1 Ins area has problems, but none merce meeting, including Edwin Sund, who recoommendcd immed iate steps be taken to incorpor- ate this town. Certainly those who may oppose the move, never expressed their sentiments. Incorporation must come be tore any great amuunc fore amount vj of ad- vancement can be gamed in this vicinity. There must be a prime- mover. There must be a planning body and there must be a re sponsibility assumed by the area for its own government. Powers, who won this district ( playoffs two weeks ago, went a long way in the state ‘B’ tonina ment at Salem, coming second in the finals. Powers had a group which had played together two years, almost intact, and with tournament play spurring the boys, their best was almost good enough to win the state title. , Phoenix, a southern Oregon l team, took the coveted honors,1 but not without a do-or-die con-j flict all the way from the very first game. Those boys won not only the honor, but a satisfac tion that they had played teams which were plenty good. Prom this thought comes great pleas ure to both coaches and boys. Five business men (maybe a number more were in the party) from the area near Grays Har bor, Wash., have been in this area the past week, surveying possibilities for opening up of a business for each. While they re mained more or less anonymous in their survey, they did tell me that they knew Noble Ellison of the plywood corporation and Mr. Sund* and also what a plant of this nature would do for anl area. While they never revealed too\ much information, as I stated, I\ did note a determination on the part of two to locate here soon. What, where, when, why or how, remains a secret as far as I was told, except that they were defi nitely coming. That, Pilot read ers, is the story of how this vi cinity will grow in the next few months there's no hoax about the outside world knowing the possibilities where plywood man ufacturing takes place. Took a stroll down by the site of the plywood plant Saturday afternoon. It is amazing the big ness of the plant, if you can picture it in your mind. The new building will cover more than two acres, all on concrete slab. That, friends, is something of a shanty I walked around the spot and tried to imagine what the completed work might look like. Plywood ‘ is manufacturing — it utilized almost all of the logs they take. They really leave a lot of wealth in a community, as does a n y manufacturing plant employing that many men uho u ill build homes. who will pat-, ronize local business. who u ill hare children in the local school, who will take part in local ac tivities. ♦ ♦ 5, at a public mcetin toward becoming citizens of a citv and not ot die country.
