Paige tells Chamber
of problems of aged
T erry Paige of Salem, hired by Cog
as a specialist for aging, spoke at a
meeting of the Sheridan Chamber of Com
m erce on Monday noon. He has been
working with a 25 member committee from
the tri-county area of Marion, Polk and
Yamhill counties to pin-point areas of
concern and need for senior citizens.
Olive Haugen of Sheridan and former
senator Arthur Ireland of McMinnville
are members of the committee, and were
also present at the meeting.
Paige said this tri-county area has 38,000
senior citizens, of which 12 per cent
are house- o r bed-bound, or partly immo
bile. In addition 26 per cent of them
have incomes under $1750.
Open
After extensive remodeling and instala-
tion of new typesetting equipment, the
Willamina Times will hold an open house
at th eir new offices at 122 N.E. Main,
Willamina, from 10 a.m . to
6 p.m.
According
to
Paige, high priority
problems of this group are transportation,
nutrition, housing and communication. The
committee is working on a tri-county
nutrition program, and will have a com
prehensive plan to Cog by November.
Sheridan is one place designated for a
nutrition program, and it is hoped to
have one going by February.
M rs. Haugen announced that the Sheridan
city council has $500.00 set aside toward
this food program. The program is funded
90 per cent by federal monies and 10
per cent local. The local share can
be either in money o r work donated by
volunteers, which will count at the mini
mum hourly wage.

During the past year, the Times has had
three different locations, but has finally
settled into permanent headquarters. A
year ago the paper was located in the
old tin shed on "C " Street, where it had
been produced for several decades. Last

Three kids
caught in
bam fire
Three Sheridan juveniles, ages 12, 13
and 14, have been apprehended by Sher
idan police in connection with a fire
which destroyed a bam on N. W. Fal
coner St. Wednesday afternoon.
Th three boys were smoking and play
ing with matches when the fire started
and they were unable to put the blaze
out. Owner of the bam , Joe Grimm of
Riverside Lumber Co., said he will not
press charges. He also said that the
insurance on the building had lapsed.
The only thing of value in the bam
was an antique wagon belonging to M rs.
Florence DeL ash mutt. It was purchased
by her late husband, Elry DeLashmutt
when they were first m arried. IT HAS

she preferred to keep it for sentimen

During the early morning hours of
Oct. 11, thieves broke through twindows
in the school auditorium and made their
way to the hallway where the vending
machines are kept. They robbed four ma
