THE PEOPLE SPEAK - - -
M ’ . Jay Ahlborn
County Commissioners Office
St Helens. Ore 97051
Dear Jay,
As you know I have d ifficulty
expressing myself verbally and
so I humbly submit this letter for
your consideration
Three years ago we met in the
offices of N.W.P. to discuss the
rebuilding of the lodge at Co­
lumbia Countv’s Camp W ilker­
son At this time, I felt the need
to rebuild the lodge for basically
two reasons F irst. I was com­
pelled by the personal challenge
to do the work Secondly, by the
urgency to get something started
before the public sentiment
could die down At this tim e I
feel that both of these have been
generously fulfilled The ensuing
three years have brought to me
more than my measure of re­
ward The cooperation
and
working relationship with you.
Jay. and men like W illard Flock,
John Peter and Gene Hebisen.
Del Burnham, Orvil Gilkey.
Franklin Anderson and many
many others whose names now’
excape me, w ill prove to provide
some of the mast rewarding
memories of my life I have felt
from the beginning that if coun­
ties facilities at Camp Wilkerson
could provide the key to turn one
young boy or g irl away from a
life of dark street corners and
dissipation all the effort on our
part and the part of the original
builders would be compensated
to full measure
The building of personal or
national assets requires the
dearest of prices paia but when
achieved also provide
the
strongest of personal or national
security I firm ly feel that the
assets of Camp Wilkerson w ill be
one of the pillars of Columbia
County's building for tomorrow
I now must get on to the part
that bites Jay. due to the
increasing demands of my busi­
ness and the ever grown de­
mands of my fam ily. I find that I
must tender my resignation to
Columbia County Park Com­
mission I feel that my com m it­
ment to Wilkerson has been
realized and I have been more
than rewarded I am confident
that you and the board w ill find
no difficulty in obtaining a
replacement
I now would like to thank you,
Jay, and all those people in­
volved for the personal fu lfill­
ment I received the last three
years
Yours very truly,
Stuart B Johnson
To the Editor
It is with profound regret and
deep sense of loss that I accept
the resignation of Stuart B
Johnson from the Columbia
County Park Commission This
resignation was necessitated by
growing business and fam ily
demands
On behalf of the Park Com­
mission and the citizens of
Columbia County. I would like to
thank Mr Johnson for the fore­
sight and devotion exhibited
during his three year tenure on
the Commission The amazing
success of the Camp Wilkerson
rehabilitation would not have
been possible without the sense
of urgency and perseverence of
men like Stuart Johnson Most of
all. I would personally like to
thank Stuart for helping this
county to give tangible proof of
our commitment to our child
ren’s future

Editor s note: The following is
a collection of correspondence
between Mrs Gertrude Sulleng
er of the Warm Wayside Market
and various federal officials
each state based on total number
of licensed drivers in that state
Divide this amount
equally
amongst all current retailers,
wholesale distributors and gas
company owned outlets, regard­
less of past gallonage or size of
outlet on a strict calendar
monthly alotment. As we are all
now doing we each would alot
ourselves a daily quota The
large retailers would than pump
less and the smaller retailers
could not pump all of their quota
This would slow down sales
drastically but stop wholesalers
from selling to private individ­
uals with up to 500 gallon tanks
for personal use. also stop co-ops
from selling to their employees
in an unlimited amount Let the
public buy as they need if they
need to drive they w ill buy If
they don’t need to drive they
won’t and when the retailers
have pumped their daily ration
there just won’t be any for the
public. Just heard, no Sunday
sales, please don't. This w ill k ill
many small retailers who uses
this day to cover their mortgage
payments while the large re ta il­
ers are now closed This w ill
cause a lot of high school boys to
lose their jobs.

Dear Friend
Thank you so much for your
wire of November 25 setting
forth certain suggestions for
gasoline distribution and con­
sumption
Please be assured that I read
your wire with great care and
interest, and am very glad to
have the benefit of your thoi
iought-
fu) suggestions
I am bringing your w ire to the
attention of Governor Love, in
order that he may be apprised of
your specific suggestions Cer­
tainly, I shall have your views
firm ly in mind at such tim e as
energy legislation should come
on the Floor of the House for
consideration
Best wishes
Sincerely yours,
Wendell Wyatt
Member of Congress
Dep of Sec Treasury Simons
Washington D C.
M r Simons in reference to
my November 25th m ailgram to
Geo P. Shultz-please try equal
allocation to all gasoline whole­
sale and retail outlets. The
metropolitan areas where there
is public transportation is get
ting so much more gas than
outlying areas, where we don’t
have public transportation We
are all conserving every way
possible but we ask-like the
truckers-to be treated equally
and fa irly This way of allocation
would cut down on usage and get
gas out where people need it to
get to work My customers, who
drive 25-40 miles to work are
getting only 6-10 gallons at a
time and I have only 600 gallons
per day and am out of gas by 3 to
6 p.m I am closing on Sundays
and Wednesdays.
Thank You sir
Gertrude D Sullenger

Dear Ms Sullenger
I am replying to your mail-
gram to Secretary Shultz con­
cerning suggestions on gasoline
distribution and consumption
As you may know, the Presi­
dent announced the establish­
ment of a new Federal Energy
Adm inistration to be headed by
W illiam E Simon, who w ill also
serve as Deputy Secretary of the
Treasury The Federal Energy
Administration w ill be dealing
with energy policy and opera
lions including the m atters con­
tained in your letter to Secretary
Shultz For this reason. I am
taking the liberty of sending
your letter directly to the appro­
priate section of the new Federal
Er
Ralph’s Chevron Station. According to the
sign “Comments or Complaints? Call Standard
Oil or Richard M. Nixon.”
Fifth Annual
Vespers Held
Candlelighted windows and
blue and red robed members of
the VHS chorus shared their love
and warm th of Christmas in a
special gift of music Saturday
evening at the F irst Christian
Church as they presented the
fifth annual “ Christmas Ves­
pers’’ under the direction of
Ward Nelson
The “ Vespers’’ are patterned
after "Lessons and Carols’’ by
Kings College Chapel in Cam
bridge. England. Nelson adapted
it for the high school group since
he believed there was a definite
need for a Christmas program of
this type in the community.
Since the school doesn't own an
organ it was decided to hold the
‘ ‘Vespers’’ in various churches
each year where not only the
music but the warmth of the
religious setting would add to the
program
BEST WISHES
It's Old Lang Syne
time — have yourself
a Happy N ew Year.
