Oooo Festival Continuing an old tradition, the Portland Rose Festival Association again will enter a float in the Pasadena New Years Day Tournament of Roses Parade, keeping Port land's place as the longest continuous participants in the parade from outside Califor nia. Queen Heather VanWessem will be the float's lone rider. The Rose Festival hopes to repeat its success of last year, when the Portland entry won a major award, the National Trophy. Although the float officially represents the Rose Festival, it also represents Portland and Oregon in the parade and is the state's only representa tion in the procession, accord ing to Larry Campbell, Rose Festival president. "This is the 40th year that the Rose Festival has provid ed this community and state with its only annual represen tation in this parade," said Campbell. "We believe that if this region intends to be a major tourist attraction, we need to be represented at Pasadena. Over a million Californians, our prime tour ist market, and visitors, see the parade live. Millions more see it on world-wide television, providing us with a showcase that can't be duplicated any where else." Accompanying Queen Hea ther to Pasadena will be President Campbell; Clayton Hannon, Rose Festival execu tive manager; Len Hufford, prime minister of the Royal Rosarians, and their wives. The queen will also pay an official visit to Disneyland. "Festivals USA." is the Portland float theme. It de picts highlights of American history and symbols of our national heritage in a huge floral mural, 12 feet high and 130 feet in circumference. The word "America" is boldly overlayed on both sides of the unit in brilliant floral design. For TV watchers, the Port land float is No. 26 in the line, of March, about one-fifth of the way into the parade. The float just before Portland's is Rand McNalley's "We the People."

THE GAZETTE-TIMES. Heppner. OR. Thursday. Jan. 1. 1978 VETERANS Obituary Kathleen Marie and Janet Gail Blackburn, infant twin girls of Pastor and Mrs. Gordon Blackburn, died Dec. 23, 1975, at Pioneer Memorial Hospital, Heppner. Graveside services were held Dec. 29, 1975 at the Heppner Masonic Cemetery. One out of every five among the 214 million Americans changes his address by mov ing ch year, and at least half of these moves are potential problems for the Veterans Administration, according to Mrs. Donna M. Arndt, director of the Portland VA regional office. "Almost half these people are veterans, their dependents or their survivors, and the continuing migration can pro duce massive headaches at Veterans Administration re cord centers," Mrs. Arndt said. To avoid delays in benefit checks and confusion in other veterans records, all veterans or others entitled to VA benefits are urged to promptly notify VA of any changes of address. "Even if a veteran is not presently receiving benefits, it will save time and eliminate possible error should they be sought in the future if the veteran's records always re flect his correct address," Mrs. Arndt explained. "With files on more than 361,000 veterans in Oregon and 29 million living veterans in the United States, duplications of thousands of names are com mon and an incorrect address only serves to increase the possibility of error or delay in processing claims." , - .In. the , case of veterans currently receiving benefits, me new address and the date of the move should be provid ed VA as far in advance as possible, Mrs. Arndt said. Sweeney Mortuary was charge of arrangements. in W y iu nf WWW wm win lip CONGRESS APPROVES Congress gave final appro val to and sent on to President Ford a measure creating a National Recreation Area in Hells Canyon. Unless vetoed by the Presi dent, the bill should end more than 25 years of controversy over use of the Middle Snake River and construction of more dams in Hells Canyon. "I believe we have done the right thing," said Congress man Al Ullman who sponsored the bill in the House with the backing of Reps. Les AuCoin and Jim Weaver, Oregon. Supported by both Oregon Senators Mark Hatfield and Bob Packwood, and Idaho Senators Frank Church and James McClure, the Hells Canyon bill cleared the Senate early this year but faced a lough, uphill battle in the House over the issue of dams. Similar legislation had died in the House during the waning days of the ttrd Congress last year.
