No longer will the billboards be plastered with pictures of candidates and their slogans. The newspapers can go back to their normal style and report the news without giving it a political flavor.

V... — citizens, — ■ _ government. *, We should —whether they be in national, state, or county not hesitate to let our views be known—both to the elected officials and to the public at large. It is only in this manner that our representatives in government will be able to act intelligently, and for the best interests of the people. Repre sentatives in government are merely our servants. It is the duty of all to see that they act in accordance with our wishes. On this line of thought, the Canyon, in its voting, did not follow the trend in the remainder of the state. Why these communities gave Demo cratic candidates a majority in all but one instance we do not know—unless this area was better informed. To you, the successful candidates—we extend our heartiest congratula tions; and promise our co-operation towards making of this a better world. On you, the responsibility is heavy. We ask of you this—that you rise to the occasion to the best of your ability. You are the choice of the voters. To you of the defeated—there is no sought for glory. Your efforts though were not in vain, for it in only through a two-party system that a true democracy can function.

Consequently, I’ve been some thing of a busybody, wandering around rooms and corridors and passing the time of day with other patients. During my wheelchair travels I happened to come across a story which you might like to use in your column. It has to do with a black lace I had a talk with the nurse, and negligee that I got for Christmas a with the permission of the doctor couple of years ago—one of those we brushed back Mrs. Benoise's lovely bits of peek- hair and put some make-up on her a-boo that every face, and for a final touch I got woman adores.

Black Lace Negligee, Little Lie Pleases Dying Woman The Mill City city council took a “Paul Bunyan’’ step towards city street betterment this week under the careful and patient guidance of Mayor Albert Toman. Affairs of our city hit a new peak when Mr. N. W. Haner and associates, registered Oregon and Washington engineers were commis sioned by the city to gather and assemble engineering details for a working control plan for street and city drainage. First. Engineer Haner, must make and set down on paper a city-wide survey of engineering facts on such things as elevation differences, location of afreet boundaries, etc. These engineering facts and papers provide Mr. Haner the fodder for an over all street drainage and sewage disposal plan fitted to Mill City's need. This work costs Mill City very little and is a thing of use even after our streets are surfaced and sewers are installed. Mayor Toman, the Mill City council, and other civic-minded citizens should be complimentt-d for their choice of Mr. Haner and Associates. Mr. Haner gives every appearance of being one capable of shepherding Mill City's efforts towards municipal improvement. We earnestly desire to assist and to be a part of this effort bringing about a more liveable »nd loveable Mill City.
