Notes:
I found that in 1956 Don Horter made a film called White Peril which, according to a plot summary of the film on imdb.com, detailed the snow patrol on duty in the Cascade Mountains of Washington state. Also on eos.web I found a film that he also made called Of Ships and Cargo in 1960, which is a promotional film to draw in business to Portland, OR. This seemed very similar in intention to Oregon Today.
While screening this film an old splice broke and I was obliged to repair it. The film is extremely brittle, has extensive emulsion scratching, surface damage, and color degradation. The film is extremely red and in poor condition.
