"The project also affords an op portunity to demonstrate the part that forest homesteads can play in the evolution of the forest industries from migratory employers of tran sient workers into permanent Indus tries supporting permanent and pros perous family and community life." The Oakridge project, said Thomp son, was originated here five years ago, long before rehabilitation on a national scale had ever been dreamed of. The preliminary plans were then sent to Washington, and during the past year the local office of the Wil lamette national forest has been con stantly at work to obtain the federal funds. "The fact that the first project was awarded to this region Thompson opined, "was that there 1b in exist ence in that region a sustained yield timber unit, the only one of its kind entirely within a national forest.' The land to be used is a tract of 220 acres on the new Willamette high way just east of Oakridge. It is now under two ownerships, one portion be. longing to Felix Dompier, the other to i Delia Hiebert, Options for the pur chase of both tracts were closed last week. The trams will be divided up into plots ranging from two to five acres. A community will be formed, and residents will be furnished with a water system, electricity, sanitation, and graded streets. Those who live in the new commun ity will be selected from railroad workers, timber workers and forest ers now in the Oakridge district, who, although having sufficient support for themselves and their families, do not have adequate living conditions. Their new homes would provide them with modern, clean living conditions, at the B.ime time Riving them an oppor tunity to raise some subsistence products Whiteaker Given Sentence of Year Fred Whiteaker, transient, was sentenced by Judge G.
