f ° library __________ ________________________ ON THE SCENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY — OREGON’S FAST GROWING VACATION WONDERLAND VOLUME XXI NUMBER «43 THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 196« Up and Down The Avenue By Don Moffatt I have long been an advo cate of the principle that if your want to earn, you have to learn, and produce. You should be paid on your ability to produce on your job. This week I received the following article from Vai White. It is taken from an advertisement of a machinery manufactur ing firm in Ohio. I feel it cer tainly bears repeating at this time. Let’s Declare War on the CAUSE of Poverty "There will always be some people mentally, morally, phy sically unable to earn a living. They should be under expert care or in institutions. “Others don’t want to work —living off the working tax payer is too easy. If "relief” were reduced to necessities, we’d be surprised at how many of these would sprout ambition. "But by far most of the poor don’t know how to win their war—and they are the only ones wo can win it. They need skill more than money. “The inexorable rule (which all the laws in the world can never change) is that you are paid out of what you produce, so to earn more, produce more. Therefore let’s stop telling people we can give them something for nothing. No one can. Let’s help them understand they must produce more, and then help them do it. Not by cutting the work week “to spread the work.” (All that does is spread pov erty by raising costs and prices.) Not by emphasizing minimum wages but by em phasizing maximum produc tive earnings. Not by teaching hatred of the prosperous but by stimulating ambition to join them.

U. S. National To Host Trust and Estate Forum Honor Roll for First Six Weeks Released Today Watch Out for Kids on Hallowe'en “Hallowe’en calls for tricky driving,” said Police Chief Jim Taylor, “because trick-or- treaters may step in front of your car.” He urges all drivers to be alert. He advised parents to make sure their youngsters could be seen. Dress them in light-col ored costumes or put white or reflectorized tape on their clothing. “And make sure your trick- or-treaters can see oncoming cars” Taylor added. Masks slip easily and can block a child’s vision. Instead of masks, use make up or water paints and a little imagination to dis guise your child’s face. Tell your children to stay on the sidewalks and be care ful crossing streets. Fred Bassett on College Opinion Panel MT. ANGEL—A television panel of two students from Mt. Angel College and Mt.

Ed Davis Heads UGN Drive in Area Lookout Station Is Dismantled 97403 Candidates Appear at Lions Meet Candidates night at Lions club Monday was a success. All but three of the city can didates were present and each one was given a short time in which to express his views. It was a quiet meeting and each one expressed a desire to work for city progress. Those present were Jim Rose, Jack Sullivan, Veryl Hoover, the only candidate for mayor, J. C. Kimmel, Herb Schroed er, Woodie Heller and Delbert Goforth. They all were din ner guests of the club. Immediately following the dinner, Charles Kelly, post master showed a film on zip coding mail, which proved how service could be expedit ed by using the zip code. Us ing the zip eliminates much of the mail handling used under the old system. Citizens interested in hear ing what the city candidates had to say were invited to Fel lowship hall, and several were present. The candidates were in formed that they had a few minutes to air their views. At this time, moderator Lee Ross said each candidate could then state which position on the council he would like to fill if elected. All said they would serve in any capacity selected by the mayor, who has the power to appoint the various commissioners. Mr. Sullivan, when asked, said if elected he would like to serve as street commission er, stating that he had visited with many people in the city on hebalf of his candidacy. He said he was successful in get ting a lot of people registered to vote at the coming election. He said those he talked to believed the streets could be improved, as there were some chuck holes which should be taken care of. Another candidate expres sing preference for appoint ment to a specific position if elected was Jim Knodel, who said he would like to serve in the capacity of police commis sioner as his heart was in that line of work and he had had had some experience in that line. Knodel said the job is a thankless one, but he be lieved that the city should be careful in hiring policemen. He felt they should hire a man who has held similar jobs in cities the size of MUI City. He would like to see the policeman spend more time on the street and less time In the office doing routine paper work. Herb Schroeder said he figured he could serve as building commissioner as he has had much experience in the building business and felt he could handle that particu lar job. When J. C. Kimmel, present mayor spoke he said the po lice commissioner and street commissioners had more hours of work to do than the others. He said Mill City could be proud of its streets, saying we have more paved streets than any other city in Ore gon of comparable size. Not only that, we have no bonded indebtedness. Veryl Hoover, candidate for mayor stated he saw no sweeping changes needed in the city, and that If he were elected he would do his best to do a good job. He said he felt progress should be the alm of all city officials. Weather, Detroit Dam 7 a. m. Dally Weather Reading Pool Max. Min. Elev.
