Our Va By CHARLES IRELAND i ! It was nice to see a newcomer receive the Junior First Citizen award Tuesday night at Dallas. ... It was recognition not only for Stan Malo, whb has lived at Dallas tor two years, but in a sense for many other newcomers to the valley both in Dallas and elsewhere. . . The Willamette Valley is a latter day melting pot, not of Swedes, Irish and Dutch, but of Da kotans, Nebraskans, Ohioins, Minnesotans, Texans, Indiana Hoosiers, and New Yorkers'! who discovered that the sun didn't set on the Hudson River, after all They have been crossing the plains ever since "Oh, Susanna" was a hit; tune, and the Oregon Trail was never more traveled than in recent years. . . .jWhile Stan Malo may not be a newcomer to Oregon, he is a comparative newcomer to Dallas, and it was nice to see a newcomer honored. ! It was nice to see the Polk County Itemiier-Observer honored t the Jaycee banquet, too . . This was recognition for both pub lisher Earl Richardson and for Wes Sherman, a fine newspaperman who probably did the legwork on most of the Jaycee stories during the past year . . . Wes is an effective behind-the-scenes worker in securing good publicity for Dallas ... I have always felt it was his reporting of the Fitzgerald fire at Valsetz that opened the door for Howard Fitzgerald to receive a national lifesaving award from Pres ident Eisenhower . . . Wes was probably the first, too, to suggest that Dallas have a homecoming for Johnnie Ray . . . Dallas is doubly fortunate to have a lively Junior Chamber of Commerce and good news coverage from the Polk County Itemizer-Observer. Josiah Wills has retired as Polk Coupty School superin tendent, but his talent as a Spencerian penman lingers on. . . . Literally thousands of perions who graduated from the eighth grades of Polk County's rural schools during the past 30-plus years hare certificates signed by Wills. . . . And this week the Dallas Jaycees remembered his flowing penmanship and had him! write the names on certificates that were awarded to lead ing Dallas cifirens Tuesday night. j i ! j IGov. Patterson didn't have a chance to forget his speak in eln eta oempnt a Da11a TupsHav niffht. Hp said thai Stan Malo had been writing him a letter every week "since last August" reminding him of jit. . . . Malo was a big award winner at the banquet. ... He had to, front-and-center twice within a few minutes to receive twq separate awards from the governor. . . Somehow this reminded me of Admiral Richard Byrd, who made a number of expeditions to Anarctic regions during the years that the one-and-only Jimmie Walker was mayor of New York. . . . Every time Byrd returned to New York from the: South Pole, he would ibe honored by a ticker-tape parade through New York streets to the City Hall where Jimmy would present the key to the ciryto him. .... About the third time this happened, the mayor greeted him by saying, "Dick, this has got to stop!" ! Four Corners Families Move I , . !

SHERIDAN The South Yamhill and has created a crisis. Storm stream near the bridge in background. State authorities demand that Sheridan construct a sewer sys tem.Residents twice have rejected a bond issue. A third vote will be held Friday. i '! I inira vore oet Costly Sewaqe Plant Have City By DEAN HOLMES Staff Correspondent SHERIDAN Apparently be lieving the old adage "third time's a charm," Sheridan's City Council is submitting its $350,000 sewer bond issue for voter ap proval! Friday for the third time in two; years. If this! week's election follows the pattern of the other two there will be -little voter interest shown, and the measure will go down to defeat by a small mar gin. With approximately 800 reg istered voters in the city only 428 voted in ihe first election in 1952, when the proposal was de feated by 22 votes. Last Septem ber even a smaller number, 294 turned out and the project went down to defeat by 8 votes Warned in 1930' . Storm sewers carry sewage into the South Yamhill River which runs through the center of town. Many business firms and home owners have hooked onto the storm' sewer to eliminate their sewage disposal problem. It is on this point that the State Sani tary Authority is "cracking the whip'!, i The Authority warned the city back in the late "30's that this would not be permitted, and would be in direct violation of the state's anti-pollution law. As a result the state bureau has been pushing for a sewer system in the city, but the community, for the most I part, has paid little atten tion. In 1949 the state authority officially told the city to nave the project complete by Dec. 31, 1953. But two elections have not brought; voter approval, and this must come before bonds to fi nance construction and debt serv ice can be put on the market The past week a group of bus! nessmen and housewives, headed by Leland R. Sackett mapped plan$ to get out a large vote Fri day, iwhich they believe will bring a favorable vote on the project The i housewives, headed by Mrs. Vernon McKibben and Mrs, Dalej Cooley, seek the project be cause of the health hazards cre- cettesat Dallas Seat New Officers !

' Many home owners are getting by in what they Call a "satisfac tory manner" with their septic tanks. They don't like the idea of helping out those who have trouble with their tanks or those who are dumping' sewage in the river via the storm sewers. The state authority claims a commu nity sewer system is the only answer to the problem. The tough problem for Sheri dan is that with a valuation of little over $1,000,000 the project will cost around j half a million dollars. A very small part of the funds have been accumulated. Result is that to finance the big job and lay sewer lines all over the city of 2,000 population, about $435,000 will be needed for the job. The Council has not listened to ideas that the project be scaled down in size. $75 Hook-up Cost To keep the bond issue as low as possible, and to be more at tractive to the bond bidders the city council hasset the issue at $350,000. But, to pick up an other $52,000 they expect to charge each user a $75 hook-up charge. This charge is bringing protest. The answer has been that if the bond; issue would be any larger bidders, if any, would be rare, because lit would be too much of a share of the city's valuation. Plans are for a mini mum water users monthly charge of $2.25 and an advalrem tax of 5 mills. Sheridan now has a combined millage rate of 109 mills,' but this is due mostly td a. greatly ex panded school system to take care of increasing enrollment The municipality's financial con dition is considered "good" in comparison to jmany towns of similar size. The city has a small debt and a millage of 17 mills. The town claims- to have the fin est streets for any municipality its size in the state, as well as one of the outstanding volunteer fire departments in the North west. Local residents claim the water it the be?t anywhere.

HOME FROM HOSPITAL WILLAMINA Mrs. L. E. Page and Clarence Park have returned to their homes after undergoing surgery and treatment at Mc- Minn villa hospitals last week. i Sheridan where sewage pollutes ft firms and many homes into the Deman city has also shown considerable improvement in recent years. Opposition is chiefly on the basis that the project Is too clostly and the community can not afford to obligate itself to finance construction. Others argue that all the cost hou!d be on ad valoram tax basis. Francis G. Bradley, Sheridan's mayor for about five years, until he resigned a month ago,! called for a citizens committee last fall to propose a financing plan that would get voter approval. The committee was named and they had trouble in agreeing on a plan. Some favored all the cost cost going on the tax roll while others wanted jl user's ipharge. The committee's- proposal was not accepted, so the council came up with the plan due fora vote Friday. Soon after as the plan was announced Mayor Bradley resigned and Fred Bzeman, president of the council, took over the mayor's job. I Because the issue is icontro- ! versial, many who favor the pro ject have been reluctan to do anything to get approval bv the voters. The council is hot ex pressing anv public opinions on the issue. However, thev have indicated this will probably be the last time it will come up for a vote. i Face Legal Action C. M. Everts, Jr., secretary and engineer of the State Sanitary Authority, told the city 3ast fall to get the project going or the city will face legal action by the state. Barney McPhillips, McMinn ville banker and member? of state board, told the Chamber of Commerce three years ago "you build this sewer system for have 'it' hauled away in buckets." In spite of the threats and warnings some residents feel they would like to see what the state can do. Others don't want the city to get the publicity that would come from a legal action, and want to comply with the state's anti-pollution law. which Sheridan voters approved in 1936 along with other pregoni- ans. i 1 Cascade HS Annual Gets Top Rating Statesman News Service TURNER The Cascade Union High School yearbook, The Cas :adian," has been awarded a first :lass honor rating by the Nation al Scholastic Press Association.
