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."

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.

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.
