Bicentennial
State
"Oregon is a Bicentennial
Slate." reports Samuel S.
Johnson. Redmond, chairman
of the Oregon Bicentennial
Commission Local Participa
tion Committee.
Oregon joins Hawaii (with
all of its six islands certified
communities) and Connecti
cut (with all of its cities
certified i as the third state to
complete Bicentennial Com
munity certification. All of
Oregon's 36 counties and one
confederated Indian tribe are
officially certified by the
national Bicentennial Admini
stration as Bicentennial Com
munities. The certification process
begins with officials of the
county or city government
appointing a chairperson or
co-chairpersons to head a
local Bicentennial committee
representative of the entire
community. A program of
Bicentennial events and proj
ects using the themes of
"Heritage ". "Festival" and
"Horizons" is then developed.
The local government certi
fies this plan as the official
Bicentennial program of the
community. After Oregon Bi
centennial Commission re
view and approval of the
application for certification,
the document is forwarded to
Washington. DC. for final
approval by the American
Revolution Bicentennial Ad
ministration. An official Bi
centennial flag and certificate
of recognition is then present
ed to the community.
In addition to the 36 coun
ties, the Confederated Tribes
of the Warm Springs and 50
Oregon cities and towns have
also been certified to date.
Seven Oregon colleges and
universities have instituted
their own on and off campus
programs and join the Bicen
tennial family. Johnson stated
that cities not certified may
make application to the Ore
gon Bicentennial Commission.
P.O. Box 1399. Portland. OR.

Bicentennial chairperson be
fore Dec. 31. 1975.
All Oregonians can now fly

Flags may be purchased from

mission or local flag dealers.
