Community Co-operation The want« and need« of a community always are more or less in the public mind. In like manner above is an attempt to set down the City of Mill City’s wants and needs into a short statement. Number One in the 10-point program is the SANTIAM MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. Through this medium creative work by the individual can be done which will stand as a worthwhile accomplishment for all time and will kindle the spirit of a healthy community. When it comes to saving human lives and protecting the health of our neighbors, there can be no such thing as city boundary lines. Spurred by this humane motive, busy men pre working to obtain a modern hospital to protect the people who live in this section of the Santiam 3 alley and Canyon area. These 10 points are assembled in order that public thought be not clouded with gloom and doubt concerning the future of the ( ity of Mill ( ity and of the world. This 10-point program is the answer this area gives to those forces loose in the world which are bent upon the destruction of those things held most sacred. The MILL CITY ENTERPRISE will carry this 10 point program on its editorial page henceforth. As one after another of these 10 points is accomplished, it will be checked off as a job well done. The thought of Korea sobers and shocks. The fact remains, however, that we must continue to lift our conscious minds towards the creative and the unknown. It is not typical of those of the United States that they devote their remaining days to tears and wailing when cuffed by the rough and cold hand of the world's course of events. Dedicated as we are to the finer and more decent beliefs of Mankind —let us not depart now from them when a little effort means so much in the right direction. Long it has been known that many doing but a little can accomplish that which is miraculpiif when viewed by an individual. Thus did we survive World War I and II—thus can we survive Korea. let us cast petty desires into the ash can and fix our gaze upon the community in which we must live. How much easier the burden when all assume a tiny responsibility for its welfare. The 10-point program above is a capsule statement of the ( ity of Mill City's burden. Now is the time for each individual citizen to lend a hand in accordance with his or her ability. 3Ve think the 10-point plan speaks for itself—Don t you hear it too? I Gift Suggestions .

I’m always glad to get it as there is always something about my old friends and neighbors. “I lived in Gates 38 years, so I know most of the old timers and love to watch the changes as they are made. There are many things yet to be done. New industries that will employ the people after the dam is completed and timber taken off. I have always wondered why the waste timber on the hills could not be used. There is so much of it. The early settlers didnt’ want new people in the canyon very much. But they could not hold on to everything forever. “I’m proud of the school system. When I came up there the children mostly stopped at the 7th or 8th grade, but after we got the high school they take that as a matter of course. Many of them follow thru with college. “Your paper is quite an uplift to During my time the people also, there, I believe there were some four or five attempts to publish a good newspaper. I wish you luck and a happy Thanksgiving and Christmas. —MRS. RUBY E. HORNER. 2574 Cowper St., Palo Alto, Calif. ■ Never a Dull Moment I FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY 4 United States Navy ships have galleys equipped to serve bounti- ful portions of nutritious food lb re the chef has breakfast cooking on the range surface while the poultry for later in the day is already in the ovens. A . .. This all-electric cooking equipment made by Hot point is in the galleys of more than 90 per cent of Navy ships. Meanwhile, these kitchens as spotless as in your own home are being placed in leading restaurants, hotels, hospitals and schools throughout the nation. -- Hotpoint is now producing this equipment in bright colors with complete thermostatic control of all cooking units. It formerly came only in black. Just as in the home, where thousands of the domestic models of these all-electric kitchens are in use in restaurants they become “show places“ where assembly-line food production meets speed requirements. The kitchens of this leading manufacturer have been used by the Navy continuously since 1914. Gates—Reproduced in part is a . letter received and submitted to the Mill City Enterprise Gates news cor respondent, Mrs. Albert Millsap, by Mr. and Mrs. Burrel Cole of Gates from their son, Thurlo Cole, who is with the U. S. navy in Korea. The letter, dated November 16, at Inchon, Korea, follows: “Dear Mom and Dad: — Received two of your letters so thought I had better get busy and answer them. We are really having cold weather here at Inchon! It has hit zero a couple of times. One thing we have a good warm place to stay here at the school house. We sleep pretty warm at night. I wear all my clothes I to bed plus two blankets and a sleep ing bag. I do not feel so bad when I think of those poor fellows up at the front line, sleeping in foxholes and in the snow. The sun comes out each day but still does not melt the ice. “I guess we can expect snow in December. I feel sorry for these people over here. You can’t realize how bad off they are. You should be thankful for everything you have back there. Yesterday, while I was on watch a little kid about 15 came up and stood by the fire I had. All he had on was a little jacket, an old pair of pants and rubbers. I had on all the clothes I could get on and was still cold. He said his father and mother were killed in the inva sion, and that he didn’t have any home. He said he hadn’t eaten for two days, so when I got off watch I went in and got some biscuits for him. . . >♦ daughter, Sharon, celebrated Thanks giving in the Jack Coryell home in Terreboone near Redwin.

FIRST, ALBANY ------------------------------------------- By BILLY ROSE-------------------------------------------- This morning’s batch of mail included the following from a man in Great Neck, L. I.: Dear Billy Rose: As you probably noticed in the papers one day last August a boy named Henry Turrill found a sack of undelivered mail in the rear of a junked automobile on the outskirts of Great Neck. It consisted mostly of Christmas cards which had been mailed in December, 1947, and the post office, after apologizing for the delay, prom ised to deliver them the next day.
