A ll of us are interested in knowing what the new year will hold for our town. If all the scheduled events come to pass it should be a year of boom and progress for the entire area. Let’s just look ahead a little to some of the things that may happen. 1. Construction on the Mt. Hood Plywood plant could very well begin some time in January. This mill should be in operation in 1956. 2. There is an excellent chance that the rail road into Estacada will be rebuilt in 1956. 3. PGE will begin work on its $17,000,000 hy droelectric project five miles above Estacada in the spring of 1956. This will mean that 500 to 700 men will be employed on this dam alone. Personally, we feel that all three of the above events will take place as scheduled and we think they will have a profound effect on the entire econ omy of Estacada. There will be lots of activity in '56. There will be a national election next year to choose a new president of our country. Oregon will either re-elect or reject Wayne Morse for another six-year term in the United States senate. On the local level there will be an election for mayor of Estacada. Several councilman will be chosen at the same time. In the past year a tremen dous amount of civic interest has been generated in local affairs. This interest may be reflected fur ther in 1956 municipal elections by a record turn out at the polls. Early in 1956 Estacada‘s new water system will be put into use. Improvements will be made in the present sewer treatment plant. For Estacada, 1956 will be a year of progress and change. It will be a busy, full and interesting year. It m ig h t ev en b e a boom y ear. Publisher Completes First Year This month marks the end of your editor's first year at the helm of your Clackamas County News. When I say “ your Clackamas County News” I do not say the words lightly ,but with a certain amount of reverence and appreciation, for it truly is your paper. You have the good fotune (and on this point I know I can get arguments) of having an editor who can make more mistakes and create less excite ment without being hung, than any editor in our county— with a couple of exceptions. Yoiu good readers only have to remember one thing, that if I do get o ff on the wrong foot, all you have to do is sit down with pencil in hand and vent your own feelings in printable verbiage. While as an indiv idual, I may not agree with you, it is still your paper and its pages belong to you. You good people have been very patient and more than considerate. Words cannot express the appreciation for reader loyalty and our wonderful renewal and new subserption response. The growth of our subscription list places your paper well in the forefront of weekly newspaper growth of any weekly paper in Ord£on. The cooperation, loyaity and support of our advertisers has been heart-war ming and truly magnificent. This has not been an easy year for your Clackamas County News. W e went ahead with one of the most extravagant of modernization programs in hopes of being able to continue to merit your support. W e have our reward, and just “ thanks” seems so inadequate. Your real thanks will be our continued and more conscientious efforts to do a better job of bringing you a better Clackamas County News. I am sorry that it has been necessary to raise our subscription rates. I only hope that our paper and operating costs will be stabilized so other increases will not be necessary.
