H. J. Erickson, Columbia county
veteran's service officer, cautioned
disabled war veterans and war wi­
dows today that they have only until
April 1 to apply for their annual
property tax exemptions.
The application must be filed with
the county assessor in the court­
house, Erickson said. The exemption
amounts to $7500 of the true cash
value of the property.
Those entitled include unremarried
widows of war veterans, and vet­
erans with disabilities of 40 percent
or more. Spanish-American war vet­
erans don’t have to prove disability
to qualify.
Erickson warned three World War
I veterans and widows who gained
entitlement to the exemption by ac­
tion of the 1963 legislature and were
given an extended time period to
file for the 1963-64 exemption, that
they must apply again by April 1
to receive this year’s benefit .
A separate benefit is provided for
widows and disabled veterans re­
siding in house trailers, in the way
of an annual license fee reduction
of up to $100.
Erickson said further details con­
cerning both benefits are available
at his office,
lie is at the Vernonia city hall the
first and third Tuesday of each
month from 10 a m. to 2 p.m.

To the Editor:
For over a year now there has
been much talk about what to do
about the Columbia county court­
house and it certainly will be an is­
sue in the coming primary and gen­
eral election. With the filing of many
reports, studies and conclusions of
committees, isn’t it about time that
the county court opened its doors to
the press so the public could have a
complete comprehensive report? Af­
ter all, isn’t a well informed public
what is needed to resolve the prob­
lem in the final analysis? I know
that this will be a departure from
Jig S ^ w iU S y £
I would like to inquire, why it is,
that all news items reaching the
press are made up of data compiled
through the efforts of all the peo­
ple who work for the county but
released to the press personally by
the county judge for its political val­
ue. It seems to me credit should
8iven where credit is due, as
we have many capable and dedicated
officials and employees who have
earned the right for recognition by
properly utilizing funds through ef-
fiency and understanding.
As a candidate for county judge,
I am putting into black and white
that: If elected, I will refer any
courthouse building program to a
vote of the people for their deci­
sion.
Sincerely,
Earl Seawright

To Whom It May Concern:
Have you noticed as I have the
last couple of weeks we in the Ne­
halem Valley have been moved back
on the banks of the beautiful Ne­
halem river.
To me this proves that we can
have industry and a beautiful river.
Let’s keep it this way for the next
generation to see and enjoy as we
have. Let’s hope it’s not too late
for the fish.
Let me take this opportunity to
thank each and every one who had
a part < no matter how small or
large i in it. I realize it was no small
task.

Resumption of the regular sum­
mer schedule of the famous Port­
land Zoo Railway has beer, announc­
ed by General Manager George
Slingerland, who said the trains re­
turned to dally operation March 16
at 11 a.m.
The PZR has been on a limited
schedule during the winter months,
operating only on week ends.
Beginning on the mid-March date,
trains will run a full schedule of
both the Washington Park and the
shorter Zoo Loop trips. Tickets re­
main the same. 50 cents for the
Washington Park round-trip and 25
cents for the Zoo Loop trip for
adults; 30 cents and 15 cents for
youngsters.
The exciting rides on the unique
recreational railway include glimps­
es of zoo animals. Passengers mak­
ing the 30-minute round trip to Wash­
ington Park also get a look at spec­
tacular scenery — and a five-minute
"observation” stop at the terminal
overlooking the Washington Park
rose garden and the city.
Resumption of the daily operating
schedule March 16 assures full train
service during spring vacations and
also means that train trips will be
regularly available for visiting school
tour groups during the balance of
the academic year, Slingerland said.
GENETICIST Joe Wheat told the Columbia county delegation that this
plot is used to depict some of the great genetic variations possible in
Douglas fir. Trees of the sam e age showed short bushy growth suitable
for Christmas trees to the slender, rapid growing trees with long leaders.
Some of these looking on are Elmer Jensen, St. Helens; Bob Skeans, Rai­
nier; Art Paschelke, Portland; Joe Schrieber, Rainier; Ray Peterson,
Vernonia, and Joe Parsons, Deer Island.
