Gates Women's Club Discus New Plates GATES Mn Mary Wilson was hostess for the Gates Wom en's club meeting held Thurs day at her home. New business dicussed at the meeting was whether the club should select a new Santiam Canyon plate. Many area residents have the old plate, which is colorful and depicts the local industries, towns and recieatamal areas. Mrs. Lola Henness. secretary, stated that there had been quite a few inquiries about purchas ing plates with the old pattern, however, she said the plates have to be ordered in such large quantities that there was con cern that they could all be sold. Therefore, the organization will probably order plates with a different pattern. 4—The Mill City Enterpr ae, Thursday, Jan. 24, UMW sen cted as «Hitstanding citizen GATES lly Marion Stov all Sunday visitors at the home of Mrs. Velma Carey were Mr and Mrs. Norman Carey ami two sons of Albany ami their iriends. the Holman brothers, Mr. and Mrs. Don Carey and two sons of Stayton. and Mr. and Mrs. James Carey of Al bany.
