The Avenue
By lion Moffatt
Mill City is fast taking on the look
of a thriving community. 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. All these things point
toward good solid advancement. They
may not mean much by themselves,
but it does show pride in our city.

Have any of you folks taken a trip
into the State of Washington lately?
Better use a light food on the gas.
They are using radar now to pick up
offenders, and they really mean busi­
ness. 1 found out last week. 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.

to be a good place to concentrate and

I’UE PARABLE OI
4 Sin is the anchor on a man's soul. 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!
