Fall at Bit. Angel;
Skiing Popular -
MT. ANGEL The streets of
ML Angel looked a bit odd for
Sunday morning this Sunday, with
most streets limited to one-way
traffic and tractor-drawn trailers
and trucks interspersing the
sparsely parked cars about St.
Mary's church where regular serv
ices were held despite the cold and
snow. :
The people from the town prop
er walked, mostly in the middle of
the street, and the farm folk came
In whatever vehicles were able to
make the grade. Where roads were
unbroken, tractors were used to
bring in the church goers. Most of
the cars that ventured out were
supplied with chains though a few
braved the slippery roads without
them. ;
Stalled cars were many, but
no auto accidents had been re
ported. One elderly woman,
Mrs. Zumstoek, however, was
quite seriously hart when she
fell on the church steps.
The common hardship brought
about a feeling of good fellowship
in most cases. Neighbors clubbed
together to transport other neigh'
bors who could not use their cars.
In one instance, one generous man
used his tractor and trailer each
morning to pick up his neighbors'
cream and milk and bring them to
the creamery. The creamery
trucks were unable to make It on
the unbroken roads.
A few young people indulged in
the dangerous but exciting fun of
sleigh riding behind cars. Skiing
and coasting were enjoyed on the
college hill and even ice-skating
on frozen ponds was listed among
the suddenly available winter
sports.

Planning Board Adds Protest
On Walton Parh Timber Sale;
City Zoning Map Studied
SILVERTON Protesting the
acre Izaac Walton league park in the Portland General Electric
company timber sale this week to the Evans Logging company,
the Silverton Planning commission Monday night was the first
local group to go on record as
opposing this inclusion.
It was explained at the com
mission meeting, presided over by
Lowell Brown, president, that the
league had a lease on the 69 acres
until December 31, 1943, and that
its membership had always felt it
would be given an opportunity to
purchase this parcel should the
300-acre tract of timber land be
sold. Whether or not anything
can be done now to save the tract
from the logging ax, was thought
doubtful but efforts to do so will
be f orthcoming, from Silverton at
once, according to indications at
the Monday night meeting. It was
explained that the timber on the
69 acres was not of such great
value to logging interests, as the
heavy timber lay back of the park,
farther up the creek.
Preliminary plans were also
made Monday night for zoning
Silverton and creating a building
ordinance. Members studied the
zoning map, begun by City Man
ager E. K. Burton, some months
ago when representatives of the
League of Oregon Cities met here
to help formulate plans for plan
ning commission. Lowell E. Brown
will later appoint two commit
tees from the commission mem
bership to make a study of the
zoning ' and the building ordi
nances. At the completion of
committee study, the groups will
again join for further action.
