S Christmas Seal Design Contest Now Open Local artists today were in vited by Mrs. Mabel Shiffer, executive director of Willam ette Tuberculosis and Respira tory Disease Association (WT- RDA) to enter the nation-wide competition for the design of the 1973 Christmas Seal. A $1,000 cash award will be given the artist whose design is chosen to spearhead the an nual drive against emphysema, tuberulosis and other respira tory diseases, and air pollu tion, Mrs. Shiffer said. The design itself will appear on the Christmas Seals mailed to Millions of U S. homes during the 1973 holiday season. It also will appear on posters, billboards and televison screens. Production schedules require that the Christmas Seal de sign be selected two years in advance of issue, Mrs. Shiffer i explained. The 1971 Seal, cre ated by James J. Clarke of California, goes in the mail this fall. The 1972 Christmas Seal, now in production, was designed by Linda Layman ol Massachusetts. Deadline for entries is Octo ber 1, 1971. Contest rules and informs tion, and copies of Christma; Seal designs from 1907 to 197l are available from Willametti TB-RD Association at 189» State St., Salem 97301, phone 364-0131. “Such well known artists a: Stevan Dohanos, Heidi Brandt and Dale Nichols have contri buted Christmas Seal designs in past years," Mrs. Shiffer said. “‘But the national con test also has been won by ar tists just beginning their careers. We hope that a Ben ton, Linn, Marion, Polk or Yamhill county artist will sub mit the design of the 1973 Christmas Seal.” 3—The MEI City Enterprise, Thursday, August 19, 1971 Subscribe to The Mil CitV [ntPrnrKP Pictured above are those attending was held Sunday at the old Gates High 1 * 1 r1 the Gates High School Reunion which School. Stan Ogden Photo I 1he Oldltinut, This new power plant will supply the Northwest with 1,400,000 kilowatts of electric power. The first unit, on the left, begins operation in September. The second unit is scheduled to start up a year later. Centralia power plant Progress Report: ON SCHEDULE! The large coal-fired power plant near Centralia, Wash ington, is right on schedule. In September its first 700,000- kilowatt generator will be ready to start producing electricity needed to keep this region adequately supplied. A year later its twin will go to work. This huge and modern plant is a milestone. It is the ■first major plant making electricity from steam in a region which traditionally has used hydroelectric power. It also is the first step in a far-sighted program worked out by the area's power producers to guarantee the Pacific Northwest sufficient electric energy with which to live—and on which to build. Seven other power agencies are participating with Pacific Power & Light Company in this important under taking. Pacific Power The next several months will be a "tune-up period" for this $200,000,000 plant. We ll be checking not only the plant's power production, but other things that are im portant, too. Such as the massive installation of electro static precipitators. We have to be sure they're tuned up just right so the plant will more than meet the strict stand ards of air quality for the area. And the closed circuit water system. We must be sure it will avoid pollution of the Skookumchuck River as it is designed to do. And the res toration program for the nearby lands from which comes the coal to fuel the plant. After all, the Centralia plant has a bigger job than just producing electricity essential to the region. It has to be a good neighbor,” too! Light Company
