Centennial Plans Given G reat Boost W ith $1,750,000 According to many of Oregon’s Legisla tors the State made a great investment in its appropriation of nearly two million dollars to the Centennial Commission.'; What\ is expected to be the country’s biggest birthday party in the past decade was given a much-needed shot in the arm early this month when Governor Mark Hatfield signed into law a bill authorizing the Commission to spend this sum on a shop ping campaign that is hoped to return the amount many times over to the state. Great plans are now well underway to attract the nation’s populace, along with industry, once again to the sites of Amer ica’s “scenic wonderland” . Instead of an arduous trek over plains and mountains in covered wagons, which took the pioneers months to travel, present-day travelers will only be from a day or so to a few hours away from the greatest, celebration the Northwest has ever experienced. Preparations for the huge affair are not in the hands of just a few. Ted Hallock, State coordinator for the Oregon Centennial Commission, estimates that ^50,000 people will volunteer for Centennial jobs by March. Under the guidance of the Gover nor’s 14-member State Advisory Committee, each, county has named its own Centennial ( chairman; more than 95 communities have elected city chairmen; approximately 3,000 Oregonians are working on specific proj- ccts. Make yourself indispensable and you’ll move up; but, act as though you are in dispensable and you’ll move out.
