BEAVERTON ENTERPRISE — FRIDAY, JUN E 17, 1949 I Plant located TWE BARGAIN PAYMENT, SALLY SQ UEEZfW iy CAN SPOT A GOOP THING FOUR AISLES AWAY- n $ \.\9 News Editor Advertising Mgr. f>UT AT THE CORNER # Drawn Out Proposition OF STATE ANP MAIN- Whenever there is major highway construction, a businessman can expect some interruption of his normal flow o f trade if he is located along such a thoroughfare. And when this interruption takes a normal length of time, there is a minimum o f complaints. It happens, along Canyon Road, from West Slope to the West “ Y ” o f Beaverton, that a project of widening the highway is underway. Long worked for and undeniably desirable, the highway plans call for two additional widths of paving, continuing the four-lane route from where, at present, it narrows to two. W ork on this job began about May 9, when the ponderous equip ment for the project began excavation to a depth o f about 18 inches. A t the outset, there was a ditch started which stretched through Beaverton. Traffic on cross streets was sometimes blocked, sometimes open and after a couple of weeks of it, merchants became a little restive. For, rather than doing the job in two or three block segments, the excavation work was projected for the full distance. There are some businesses which very definitely feel the effects of this work and a question circulates among them as to whether or not the Job couldn’t have been completed by sections and so reduce the loss of business that definitely developed. One small business reports a cut o f 70% in receipts. Another declares he will take a vacation to allow paving and subsequent cur ing o f the surface, because it will be impossible for customers to reach his store without maximum inconvenience. Maybe it is of no concern to the state highway commission that taxpayers are so put to a loss. But such a policy is, to state it mildly, conducive to unrest and ill feeling. And if the same procedure is fol lowed on ail highway work, It is flagrantly unjustifiable. What has happened is, of course, without remedy. But the same thing might well occur on the other side of the highway unless there is a re-evaluation of plans. Everyone concerned even slightly with the Canyon Road improve ment is anxious to see the job completed as promptly as possible. Perhaps the highway department feels that largely tying up business for five weeks contributes to speedy completion of the overall job. But to those taxpayers who must depend upon their volume of bus iness for income, it seems like a rather drawn out proposition. 14th A N N U A L ST. P A U L RODEO In The Next Rose Parade! ' ’ < The east end of Tualatin Valley walked off with high honors in the Portland Rose Festival parade, last Friday. Beaverton took a first place blue ribbon while Multnomah was a close second for Oregon cltiea outside Portland. On the preparation o f float entriea in each of the two winning com munities, there was a common feeling of cooperation and good will. Enthusiasm was a real and definite quantity as pluns slowly changed into the reality o f a flower-bedecked float. There Is one thing to he said about Rose Festival participation. It is a sure medium o f activating everyone In the community. There are buttons to be sold, flowers to be collected, the float to be built and with it all expectationa ride high for the coming com petition. All night float decoration la a community affair, practically a festival in itaelf. And the weary workers, who drag themselves ar ound the next day after an around the-clock effort, feel justifiably proud of their accomplishment. In effect, the benefit to a community is In the accelerated spirit which goes with the planning and execution o f a Rose Festival parade float entry. It is sometimes a revelation to a community to know that neighbors can work together on an objective of this na ture. W e would like to see not only two districts of the east end of Tu alatin Valley taking part in future Rose parades We would like to see ail o f them share in the excitement and competition. But to Beaverton and Multnomah, recognising their good fortune in walking away with flrat and second honors, we offer hearty con gratulations. May they be joined by neighboring communities, in the next Rose parade! J ULY 2 - 3 - 4 ST. PAUL, ORE. ★ Thr i l l s! • Sp i l l s !

For Results Try Being nice to other people is a recognized virtue It does not mean being nice to people to whom one would be nice any way, but to those who you con sider need it. It means being nice to people, for example , who play a poor game of contract bridge. It would include being nice to people who come from a distance and have queer accents or hold unpopular political opinions. People who care nothing what 1 ever about the fashions and wear strange clothes are among those who usually need someone to be nice to them. So are people who have bad health and want to tell you about It, or who have child ren and grandchildren who are their chief topics of conversation. You can be nice to people ab out whom there is some scandal or who have lost their money and live In a less desirable part of the town. It is important also j to he nice to those who think they no longer have any friends. Under these circumstances, be ing nice to people is not a great deal o f fun. It Is in the nature of a duty that you put o ff from day to day and week to week. When at least you do get around to being nice to someone, you feel very virtuous about It.

Ore. CPA Society Clarifies With Congratulations I To the Editor: For Future Horsemanship One o f the widespread interests In the Tualatin Valley la horseman Ship. Enthusiasm for this outdoor recreation is highlighted by sad - die clubs, county posses and other groups of horsemen and horse women who breath life and meaning to the storied "Spirit of the West.” So It comes as a matter o f some significance that the 4-H has ac cepted this as an accredited activity for groups of youngsters. Pioneer leader o f 4-H horsemanship is Ted Klebe. of Stafford, who trained a group of youngsters unofficially for a full year to prove the merit of the activity. Having won approval, Klebe Is now star.- tng another club in the Tigard area. rsrllt work and basic instruction is given by Klebe to teach young sters training and care o f their mounts Proper technique in mount ing and putting a horse through his fancy pares is taught, along with grooming and attention to the animal's needs. What the 4-H project, in effect, proposes to do is to impress upon young riders the realisation that a horse is more than a mere de vice which furnishes hobby transportation. It underlines the human itarian approach to animal appreciation and ahouM go a long ways toward discouraging attitudes of cruelty and neglect that grow out of ignorance Thus, Ha objectives coincide with the broad, constructive program o f 4-H. It Is surely complementary o f the 4-H idea to Include Junior horse manship in the approved program The public la well aware of the long fight waged against careless abuse of domestic animals. The concept o f a properly supervised riding club project adds much to the apread of knowledge towards a continuation of this end. Mr. Klebe. also, deserves high commendation from horse-lovers for the persistence with which he has followed up his Idea Victim of an accident which limited hla participation In riding competition, he wtlllngly devotes time In passing along the knowledge of his wide experience to help youngsters be more competent and better qualified In horsemanship. So. to the general Interest In riding that touches the young and the old In Tualatin Valiev here la an actIvltY that deserve« encour agement and extension for the sake of future horsemanship.
