This Friday night representatives of the citizens of the Canyon com munities begin the highly important task of building a sales organization for the North Santiam and all that it now means and can mean in the future, Flach community certainly is aware that it has problems and is doing something about them. Most of the problems of the Canyon have to do with growing pains. Growing pains occur because the North Santiam has large resources in the process of development. A Canyon-wide attempt at developing those resources in an orderly manner is of first importance. A Santiam Canyon association can promote careful and intelligent develop ment of our resources. We must not lose the Santiam Canyon association among the trees of the forest—rather such an association must point the way to proper care lor the forest. It is possible that the Santiam Canyon organization could easily become the central agency where individual problems could be aired. If the Santiam Canyon organization is to succeed however, one thing must be clear —if one community is split on whether or not to have a dog pound the Canyon organization stays out of that fight. In joining together in a central unified effort towards selling the North Santiam to the world the various communities involved agree to look upon their own individual problems as problems potently and directly tied to North Santiam development. Just as a business man obtains a new machine, prepares it for sale and sells it so also must a Santiam Canyon association gather materials on the resources of the Canyon, smoothe the way for con venient sale of the resources and then do an expert job of selling them to industry. From the word “Go!” the Santiam Canyon association must be a demo cratic and representative organization full of the spirit of working for the general welfare of the entire citizenry of this Canyon. Men enthralled with such a spirit can surely sell the wonderful goods of this Canyon with tho greatest of ease. Long have the individual communities stewed in their own fat instead of selling it for profit to those in need of it and ready and willing to buy. The various communities of this Canyon have presented a sight similar to that of one football player running on the playing field and going through his duties as if playing on a team, but the remainder of the team is absent from the field and yet in the stands are thousands of fans dying to cheer and paying good money for a football game. Of course one lone football player can not defeat an opposing team. In the same manner one community in the North Santiam can not defeat the multitude of Canyon problems that daily present themselves. Those meeting Friday night have the task of molding a plan of Canyon wide organization and then taking such a plan back to their local organiza tions for approval or suggestion. These representatives coming to Mill City have a promotional job on their hands. After a. workable Canyon group has been knitted together, the first thing that must be done is that of taking inventory of the industrial sites, water power, timber, minerals, soils and individual talents which are assets of this North Santiam Canyon. Observers have indicated that we will be amazed at what Mich a survey will turn up. The Canyon association must he qualified in and doing the work of pointing out to industry and sportsmen alike the wonderful possibilities of the North Santiam Canyon. Our sincere best hopes for success shroud and enfold the minds those meeting in the Mill City fire hall Friday night for the purpose suggesting a plan of organization for a Canyon-wide sales agency.
