Buildings are sprouting un here and there and it looks as if things were moving for ward at a steady pacer The new high school gym is going up rapidly. Concrete work is coming along fine, and the good weather this year has been a great aid to the workmen. A new duplex is being constructed over in Riverview addition. That is what we need, more housing for more people. Then Mr. and Mrs. Hartman have moved into their new home on the highway. The jeweler and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Baker are building a new ranch type home on the bank of the North Santiam river, on the Linn county side. They really have a fine view, * • • Another thing that looks good to me. is the project of the Garden club in putting up waste paper receptacles in the city.

We were drifting along nicely on our w’ay home from Tacoma and bingo—out j stepped one of those fellers in the | neat uniforms. My wife had warned me, but of course, I didn’t think it i could happen to me. After the patrol man had finished up with the “cus- I tomer” he had tied up in his “web” I went meekly back and got into the police car. ’Twas nice and warm in there and he was one of those big guys that make you realize right off the bat that it's better to sit down and listen than stand up and talk. He said: “you came over the hill at 55 miles an hour and the limit is 50.” I just said, “yep.” Bruther, what more was there to say. He had me dead to rights with than infernal radar dingus. We visited while he was filling out the necessary blanks, and all the time I could see my few pennies going out the window. Finally I asked how much the “tarrif” would be and he said, I "this is just a warning ticket.’’ I be gan to breathe again then, and felt pretty brave. I then asked him what they did to the slow “Sunday” driv- ers. You know, the rubbernecks that sort of go to sleep at the wheel instead of bed. “Oh, those guys,” he said, “we just haul them off to the side FRIDAY-SATURDAY The powers that be have set the I date for the school election which will determine w hether or not we will have a consolidation of the districts | comprising Detroit-Idanha. Gates and | Mill City. The election has been set I for March 29. This is one date resi dents in these districts should circle with a red pencil. Probably I am no great authority on education but I feel that with a larger school the stud ents have more advantages, more sub jects from which to choose their cour-1 ses and all-around better balance in education. One thing, I haven't been here long enough to build up any predjudice one way or another, so what I say here is strictly from the heart. I sincerely hope that old feuds can be forgotten and all people w’ork for the good of the child ren. There are those in the area, who will disagree with me, that is sure, but my only plea is for everyone to get out and vote. Forget old animosi ties, and think of the good of the ones w ho are going to school. Another thing to think about is the cost. It is cheap er, by far, to educate a student in a larger school. These facts will be brought out later, and they are the result of a study of men from all three districts. Watch The Enterpise for further details.

It lets him drift with every current and be buffeted by every storm, but it keeps him tied to the FLOOR of the sea. A Faith is Qie sail that rises from man's soul, It links his life to a Strength ABOVE and carries him forward to his destiny. What good is the sail if the anchor is down? 4 That, in parable, was man's spiritual dilemma through all the ages before Christ. And, in parable again, the simple truth of the Christian Gospel is that Jesus Christ in dying for the sins of men has forever cut away the anchor! ¥ a CHURCH FOR AU AU FOR THE CHURCH cho,acl.r and Joo.j* ,bu,ld,n» “ a •tor.hou,.9, d Clll«n»hip I, '"•'hout a ,“‘o„a S' ^moerac, no, c^!"Ch Th.,. ¿7 uj‘°n co" -.a.on. why .y.,7* tour ‘«und »"•nd should •up- or hi« own m I. /«.
