State Softball Tourney Orchids to the businessmen of Mill City for their bringing to Mill City the State Softball Tourney for 1952. Old Mill City will be in the throes of softball come August. The lights at Mill City’s Allen Field have been burning quite regularly recent nights. The struggle for top spot for Mill City seems in favor of Kelly’s team. Could be that is the incentive for Russell Kelly’s great push for the state tourney here in Mill City. The old home town can furnish the greatest pep for his team. Aside from the fact that Mill City is a wee moved that the big-wigs of softball have chosen it as the site for their tournament, Mill City has a good deal as a result of the attention the public will give this softball event. Without being boastful about it, we can say that there is a heck of a lot that can be seen here in the North Santiam. Those citv slickers in Salem are getting right fancy with our going’s on out here. Guess we can expect more of that, however, because of that new highway cornin’ up in the near future. Come on up boys and see us under lights—we dare you. If you’re good enough may be that some of you too will be permitted under our NEWS TO NO ONE big lights.

Asked about the conditions under which thet Kremlin might be expected to start aggressive war, he replied that one such condi tion would be serious dissension among the western powers. This should be news to no one. Yet it is a basic fact of international life that is consistently ignored by an ultra-nationalistic minority in each of the western democracies. This minor ity may be left-wing, as in Britain and Germany, or right-wing, as in the United States and France, but in each case it seems more disposed to sow dissension and distrust among the At- lantic partners than to close ranks against a common foe. One has only to picture a world in which Aneurin Bevan was Prime Min ister of Britain, Charles de Gaulle Premier of France, Kurt Schumacher Chancellor of Germany, and any "go it alone” advocate was president of the United States to see the condi tions of disunity ideally suited for Soviet aggression. Fortunately things are not going that way. So long as a genuinely co-operative spirit exists . in the west as a whole, no one of these figures is likely to come to power— at least on his present platform.— From Christian Science Monitor. This is what we wish we had said: “If you want to live like a Republican, vote like a Democrat!” The Democrats keep that Chicago convention hall rather noisy. We must admit that some Democrats are a bit bitter about how they have been handled in the past. Spokesmen like Barkley heal those wounds pretty fast however. The fact that the Democrats are facing the issues on foreign policy and on all fronts lends confidence in their deliberations. We are irked at the poor attitude of those Democrats from the South. There is ample reason for boxing their ears for their out-look on life in general. Like bad boys, much of their mischief stems from lack of attention. The convention has generally done a good job of hearing them out. Those who con tinue bull-headed sound pretty sour. There are those of our gentle readers who insist that we “guess” who the Democratic nominees will be. Our own enlightened self-interest dictates that we leave this matter entirely up to the delegates at Chicago, The news-papers seem bound and determined that Stevenson will be the nominee. Kefauver is attractive and familiar to most of the public. Barklev took himself out of the running. Let he who is young and foolish do the pre dicting, we have had our share of nursing that bottle!

KLAMATHS MOULD WIND UP TRIBAL STATUS The Klamath Indians are among the more advanced and prosperous tribes of American Indians. For some years they have considered giving up their tribal status; and at their election last Friday adopted a motion to end all tribal enrollments by June 30, 1959. After that when the last person on the tribal roll dies the Klamaths will cease to exist as an organized tribe—which extends its existence of course, to the life span of whatever member lives the longest. The Klamaths also voted to restrict membership in the tribe to those with at least one-quarter of Indian blood as of June 20 last. This prevents further dilution of the tribe and its property interests. The approval of the Secretary of the Interior is required on both these res olutions. _ The affirmative action, (Continued on Page 3) July 24. 1952 2—THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE From where I sit... ¿y Joe Marsh ; Me—Advising a Banker! The Missus and I were invited to dinner over at Balesville the her night. I sat next to a banker from the state capital. "Mighty nice country you’ve got down there,” he says. “Don’t be surprised if I come to live there myself. In a few years I plan to get away from everybody, buy a farm and just take it easy.” “Well,” I told him, "we’d like to have you. But when someone plans to buy a farm and ‘take it easy' he often winds up working harder than ever. It takes work to run a farm right no matter how many hands ' ou can afford to hire. “And from where I sit,” I con tinued. "you won’t ‘get away’ from people either. Neighbors are plenty impor.'ant in a farming community —whether it’s helping one another out or just friendly visiting over a sociable glass of beer.” “Hard work and. neighbors dropping in all the time?” he asks, looking at me over his glasses. Then he smiles and says. "Sounds wonderful.
