Sea Scouts Have Fun In Snow GATES — The Sea Scouts went on a sledding trip to Elkhorn, across from the W. Horn residence, on Saturday. They had a bonfire and put up torches when it got dark, so they could sled longer. They roasted weiners and marshmal lows and had hot chocolate for refreshments. Those going on the trip were Lee Stafford, Lee Olmstead, Leo Poole, Jerry Hutchinson, Herb Carpenter and Kim Ga briel. Guests attending were Allen Severs, Jerry Sarff, La- Donna Bradley and Delrena Carpenter. Chaperones for the group were Tom Drynan and Hazel Gabriel. Flood Danger! Not Critica Yet, But.. OREGON STATE UNIVER SITY—While the flood out look in Oregon Is not critical at this point, a combinatLn of warm rains over a three or four-day period w:uld likely result in damaging floods to Western Oregon, state officials say. Oregon’s flood forecast could change very rapidly, reports Chris L. Wheeler, Oregon State engineer. If flooding does start up, Wheeler believes that dams :n major Willamette River feeder streams are “in good shape” at the moment to hand le sudden overloads. The chances are that less Oregon land would be inundat ed this year than in 1964. Ore gon State University geograph ers caution, however, that to tal dollar loss from flooding could surpass that of the dis astrous December, 1964, flood which covered nearly 500,000 Oregon acres. Population growth, increas ed development on Oregon’s flood hazard lowlands togeth er with rapidly rising property valuation in most areas ex plain the higher potential dam age, according to Keith W. Muckleston, assistant professor of geography. Muckelston notes that public works and recreational devel opments built since 1964 fur ther increase property valua tion in flood-susceptible zones. Flood damage continues to rise nationally at a faster rate than does protection resulting from construction of new flood protecting dams, the OSU wa ter resource specialist says. In some sections of Oregon, for example, increased flood protection brought about by dam construction has been off set by booming nearby devel opment whose increased pro perty tax valuation has raised the area’s potential flood dam age estimates beyond that of the increased protection, OSU geograpners maintain.

National Forest The Willamette National Forest will have approximate ly 30 summer jobs open in 1969 but to qualify, applicants must take the Civil Service Summer Employment Examin ation. This applies to new summer employees only. Those who worked on the Forest during the summer of 1968 should di rectly contact the Ranger Dis trict Office at which they had been employed. (About 125 people are expected to return to their former summer jobs.) Those who want to apply for the 30 positions still open, however, will have to move quickly. 'The final summer ex am will be held March 8 in Eugene. To take this an ap plication must have been re celved in Washington, D. C. by January 30. Copies of Summer Employ ment Examination No. 414 that outlines procedures are avail able through college placement offices, high school counselors, or first and second class post offices. To qualify for a summer job with the Forest Service an ap plicant must be a U. S. citizen and 18 years old at the time of appointment. (Age require ments can be waived for high school graduates who are at least 16 at the time of appoint ment). Positions open on the Wil lamette range from GS-2 to GS-4 with a salary of $81.20 to $98.80 a week. Successful can didates may get jobs in Fire Control, Forestry, Recreation, and Engineering, and also as Clerk Typists in business ad ministration. DETROIT—Shovel brigades were very much in evidence as snow continued to pile up in the Upper North Santiam Can yon in last weeks storm. In an attempt to keep walks, drive ways and the roofs of build ings cleared of the white stuff residents have been on the business end of shovels since the continuos snow began fall ing January 7th. Snow plaw crews have been working around the clock to keep highways, roads and city streets open. In the Marion Forks area where over six feet of snow has piled up, a two lane road leading from the highway to tne Fish Hatchery has narrow ed down to a one lane road and even this has been threatened by the continuous snow. i^o™.es in the area are not visible to one another due to the heavy accumulation of snow which has been plowed out, plus surplus snow shovel ed from the roofs of buildings. In the Detroit area where ground level snow reached al most a depth of three feet, huge piles of the white stuff dots both sides of city streets giving the appearance of large snow drifts. This coupled with snow shoveled from the roofs of buildings gives the area a real winter appearance. No official snow depth is available in the Idanha area, but since the elevation is high er than Detroit the snow depth may lie considered more. Most logging operations in the area are closed down and most so cial activities have been cur tailed. School however, has re mained open and all basketball games on schedule, except the game scheduled at Valsetz last Friday. Tentative make up date for this game is February 22nd. While our great forest has the appearance of a winter wonderland the deer and elk and other creatures of the an imal and bird kingdom of the forest are finding forage scarce. A baby owl looking for shelt er flew against a window at Detroit Patio and knocked himself out. The Frank Han- cocks, owners of the drive-in. nursed him through his head ache and have given him a home for the winter. Mrs. Howard Drago at Marion Forks said Tuesday that the birds resembling wild canaries are still in the area and that the flock has grown to some 100 to a 150 birds. When a small flock was first noted on the ground earlier last week they acted “dopey” and could be picked-up. It was thought that the birds queer actions was caused by the cold and the lack of food. They apparently have rallied somewhat because for the past week they have taken to the air and have been noted perched in trees. Employment Tax Return Due Jan. 31 Employers have an import ant tax deadline Friday, Jan uary 31, 1969. This is the due date for re porting social security and withheld income taxes for the calendar quarter ended Decem ber 31, 1968, according to A. G. Erickson, District Director of Internal Revenue for Oregon. Employers who receive a preaddressed Form 941, “Em ployer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return,” should use this form to report their tax liability. If the balance due on the return is over $100, it should be deposited in an approved commercial bank or Federal Reserve bank using Federal Tax Deposit Form 501. Employers who made de posits in a Federal Reserve or authorized commercial bank sufficient to pay their full tax liability for the quarter ended December 31, 1968, have until Monday, February 10, 1969 to file Form 941. January 31, 1969 is also the due date for reporting and paying Federal Unemployment Tax for 1968. Employers liable for this tax should file Form 940. “Employer’s Tax Guide,” (Publication 15), furnishes de tailed information on these taxes.
