Plans for organized summer recreation are underway to pro vide recreation opportunities for Mill City residents. The tenta tive agenda presently includes softball. Little League base ball, tennis, horseshoes, organ ized games, touch football, and two or three "sports days.” In order to get things under way, a sign-up is now being made for all areas. Little League ball players fall into two age brackets: 8, 9. 10 and 11. 12, 13. Prospective partici pants should sign up in their proper age group. Tennis players should sign up for a perpetual summer tournament. Classes will be held for both beginners and in termediate-level players in re gularly scheduled sessions and/ or by special arrangements. Recreational softball will be under the jurisdiction of the re creational director. This will facilitate scheduling of the field and will provide the league with lights for their night games at no extra cost to the league. Teams planning on competing in the recreational softball league should get their own sponsors and set up team or ganization. A meeting of the team managers will be held in the high school library at 7 p. m. Wednesday, June 12. to or ganize the league and start a summer schedule. Since the program seems cen tered around the boys, girls will have to make their wishes known. Softball and tennis are areas open to girls plus a var iety of organized games. The recreation director must get some idea of who wants to par ticipate in these areas and if some other area should be ad ded. Girls are asked to be sure and sign up. "Sports Days” are to be a part of the program. They will consist of games and contests for every age group. Events , could range from bicycle races Girl Scouts To Hold No Meetings During Summer Months Mill City Girl Scout Troop No. 91 will not hold any more regular meeting until fall ac cording to their leader, Mrs. Marshall Worley. At their last two meetings entertainment for the girls was featured with a wiener roast at the etiy park and a swimming party at Paradise Island in Salem.

Water Filter System Being Installed Here Installation of four pressure filters for the Mill City water system is nearing completion, and the equipment will be ready to operate in the fall and winter months when high river flows cause tap water to become murky. , The Pacific Power A I-igdt Company installation includes the pressure filters and associa ted piping, housed in a prefab ricated metal building adjacent to the pumping facilities. Wayne Goin. Pacific Power's focal mane ger. said the building was completed last week and that working is moving ahead on the piping. Resembling' huge cooking pota, the filters will be connect ed to the water system between the pressure pumps and the storage reservoir. In periods of high river flows, which usually occur in the winter months, the filters will substantially reduce the murkiness of the drinking j water supply, Goin reported. The manager emphasized that Mill City's water system has I always maintained the highest standards of purity in compli ance with State Board of Health regulations, and the turbid con dition affects only the water’s appearance and taste. Officials Inspect New Water Filters Contracts On Park To Be Let In June The few warm days of last week centered more attention on developments at Fishermen's Bend park, just west of the city. This is a $.350,000, 100-acre pro ject for which all contracts are to be let by Jun«' 30. The park will include facili ties for overnight camping, pic nicking areas, baseball fields, electric kitchens and several sandy beaches. Major portion of the land is owned by the Bureau of Land Management but Marion county has a 12-acre tract that they are leasing. A small crew of men has been employed for several months clearing out roads and doing preliminary work on the site. As each new park is finished more tourist trade is brought to the area and the highway, particularly on weekends, show a steady stream of visitors to the canyon area. Outdoor living, both at home, and in the many parks in the area, has become a way of life for the American people. Jerry Coffman, new presi dent of the North Santiam Chamber of Commerce, attend ed Governor Mark Hatfield's "Welcome to Oregon” kickofi campaign last week and said there was a "very good mes sage" in the Governor's speech one all people of Oregon should have heard. It would be well to put it into practice he said The theme is "make visitors to our state welcome, make them feel welcome and want to stay a little longer and come back again.” It was brought out at the meeting that tourist business is our third largest industry and it is growing. It will keep grow ing if the people roll out that green welcome mat. not for just a week but all year around. Last year, tourists brought $217 million to our state. Welcome to Oregon buttons will be made available this week through the efforts of Wayne Goin of Pacific Power & Light company. He is chair man of the local committee and the buttons are being paid Ru by local people interested in promoting Oregon. Buttons may be obtained at the Pacific Pow er & Light office, U. S. National hank. First National Bank and Jerry Coffman at Gene Teague Chevrolet. Coffman said an immediate effort is going to be made to have all persons serving the public wearing these buttons all summer. Installation of pressure filters for Pacific Power & Light Company’s Mill City water system is moving ahead. Loc al officials inspected the filters last week, just before a prefab metal building was installed to house the equipment.
