land and timber holdings in the vi
cinity. "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
