The conference is divi ded in twelve committees each of which will serve an industry or discuss problems of importance. This type of thing is not new to Clackamas county.In the past this type of planning was called an economic con ference. The rural people have conducted similar con ferences each 10 years begin ning in 1925. The last one was held in 1946. Committee members of the past were almost exclusively rural. But because of the rapid growth of urban popu lation 1956 committees will see urban folks well repre sented.

PLUMBING, HEATING SHEET METAL WORK PETERSON Plumbing & Heating Co. Clackamas county farm op erators are still licking the wounds caused by the un precedented November freezeup. Nor do they yet know of the extent of these j wounds or the time it will | take them to heal entirely. But we do obtain a little in formation on the subject as time progresses. Charlie Finch, Garfield, was in last week and reported that all of next year’s filbert crop has been destroyed— at least in his neighborhood. ‘I expect to have to cut off all of last season’s boysen- berry cane growth,” he ad ded. ‘This means no boy- senberry crop for [me next summer. And where the wind blew the snow away our strawberry plants are gone. Prune trees appear to ' be damaged to some extent and we will have no cherries in 1956” “Strawberry plantings seem to have been severely damaged in unprotected lo cations in the Damascus ar ea” according to Odis Men- ser, Damascus berry and vegetable grower. ‘During the coldest weather the east wind blew all the snow from -fk tu e u ta /m & i STO PS WINTER C-O-L-D S TA N D A R D FURNACE OIL K h ti'T keM M M o l NOW THE NEW BEL AIR SPORT COUPE W ho tvouldn’ t mistake this new Chevrolet for a high-priced car!
