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

there is any “saving". 1 Ins area has problems, but none

Sund, who recoommendcd immed

who may oppose the move, never
expressed their sentiments.

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

who will take part in local ac
tivities.
