RAINY W EATHER
This week, the Beaverton Jun
ior Chamber of Commerce has set
about to wind up its program ded
icated to impressing the message
of fire prevention upon the com
munity. Original schedule was dis
rupted when the weather turned
wet and rainy.
On Tuesday afternoon, blessed
with rare Indian Summer sun
shine, the Jaycee boys and mem
bers of Beaverton’s volunteer fire
department dressed up fire hy
drants of the community with a
bright coat of yellow paint.
Home inspection blanks, which
were distributed through the city
schools, have been
sorted and
turned over to the fire department
for whatever action may be re
quired.
An official scrapbook is being
compiled on the fire prevention
campaign and when completed will
be entered in the state Junior
Chamber of Commerce, at the
time of the organization's state
wide convention, to bo held in
Baker during February.
The Beaverton group considers
its campaign highly successful in
its aim of alerting the community
against carelessness and stressing
the advantages of fire prevention.
Their program included inspec
tion of business houses and homes,
a series of films exhibited at the
local theater, schools and other
meetings, in addition to bombing
the area with handbills from the
air and distribution of pamphlets
and posters in business places.
The Jaycees express sincere ap
preciation to merchants, schools
and others in the community for
the broad cooperation given in
carrying out the campaign.
In addition to generating much
favorable response from towns
people with their efforts, the Jun
ior Chamber o f Commerce attain
ed seven new members, bringing
its total rolls to 37.

Norblad observed, and all talk Is

“ Russia doesn’t want war at the

not have the ability to make war.
During World W ar II she employ
ed the scorched-earth policy to
prevent anything from falling into
German hands.
Stalingrade, for
example, was left in shambles.
However, war with Russia is very
possible within the next four or
five years.”
In order to do something about
it, Congress has done two things.
The first is the increase In the
defense budget and the second is
the passage of the Marshall plan,

tuted for the ERP.

so that they can build up their

In passing Ordinance 262, at
its special meeting of October 11,
the Beaverton city council took
the first step in realizing a san
itary system by authorizing the
construction of a main trunk sew
er and disposal plant and calling
for the layout of plans and spec
ifications as well as acquisition of
necessary private lands for the
purpose, by purchase* donation
or condemnation.
The plans are to be so drawn
that the cost of the trunk sewer
portion which will serve as a
collecting system can be appor
tioned to benefited property in the
sewer district through which it
passes and which district it is to
serve partially as a collecting sew
er.

Because the city is desirous of
constructing the sewer system at

To be acted upon at the next

city council to lay out and estab

systems. Such collection systems
may be established in and upon
private property, which can be

of Oregon.
In the establishment of such
districts, hearings will be duly held
