RECREATION HIT
FOREST GROVE—-Forest Grove
certainly can stand more and
better facilities for use in its
leisure hours.
Willard H. Shumard, Northwest
field representative for the Na­
tional Recreational

ers during his visit and inspection
here recently.
“I don’t know of any city this
s’ze which needs facilities worse
than you do,” he stated.
IMPROVEMENTS OVER $20,000
SHERIDAN—Improvements to
the city’s water system during the
past year amounted to $22,112.00,
according to a report submitted
by City Water Commissioner, E.
M. Huntley. Major item in the im­
provement was the installation of
500 meters on the system for a
total of $12,500.
Fifty new taps to water lines
brought in $1,250, and nine larger
type meters cost $540. One new
’ine was $300.
COPTER SEEDS 640 ACRES
SEASIDE—It took a helicopter
about two hours to distribute
several million seeds over 640

water meter installations were
made during 1947.
Department officials, figuring on
the national average of 3.8 people

this would indicate a population

From where I sit...
Joe Marsh
Who Are We, Anyway?
Subject came up at Bill Web­
ster’s, the other day, as we were
chatting over beer and pretzels.
Just who are the folks who make up
our town ? Where’d they come from ?
Well, Doc Hollister’s Scotch-
English ancestry; Will Dudley's
folks were mining stock from
Pennsylvania; Skip Powell’s fam­
ily were brewers back in Holland.
Guess our bloodstream's got a
bit of every country of the globe—
and every section of America. We've
still got differences in taste and
background—whether they apply to
music, history, or beer. Only those
differences don’t mattes—because
we’re self-respecting people, in a
free, united laud.
And from where F~sit, that's
what makes our towns and cities
— our America — so strong, pro­
gressive, tolerant. Our champion­
ship of individual liberties has
brought us people from all faiths,
all lands—to prove that respect for
one another’s rights is the greatest
bond humanity can know !
