Ref and Doc D it Newspaper, ' U of o Library 07403 City Enterprise The ON THE SCENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY — OREGON’S FAST GROWING VACATION WONDERLAND VOLUME XXII NUMBER 5 Up and Down The Avenue By Don Moffatt It would appear, according to news over the weekend that Bobby Baker of “Wash ington “fame” is finally going to get his come-uppance. Pos sibly though, they will make some kind of a martyr out of him, appeal his case, give him 10 days in jail a small fine and hail him as some kind of a hero who knows how to defy the law, beat the income tax, or what have you. And then comes Adam Clay ton Powell. He could have been a great man and possibly might have been a great aid to his race, but with the ar rogance he showed on a TV show this past weekend, any thing which he might have done, went down the drain. The picture of himself which he portrayed in that interview nullified any good he could have accomplished for the Ne gro race. I hope they throw the book at him, and put him out of public life forever. He is a disgrace to any public office he might hold. ♦ * * While belting away at things in general in Washing ton, D. C., I was given some more ammunition when I visited with Herb Whitaker over at Mill City Hardware. This following tidbit of in formation is taken from Hard ware Age, and shows more and more people are becoming aware of the goings on in Washington, D. C. Here is the quote from this magazine: "Should the Government Train Persons to picket and demonstrate against stores? Right or wrong Washington is doing just that. President Johnson’s current budget in cludes sums to teach ‘How to Demonstrate Effectively’ and 'Methods of Picketing.’ Such training is done under con tract to the U. S. Department of Health, Education and Wel fare. It won’t be long before the government will try to train subversive groups of all types on how to undermine our great country, as if they need ed any help. This is being published just to show you what is going on in our Cap itol in Washington, D. C. Time is ripe now for each and every citizen who has any in terest at all in our govern ment to write our representa tives in Washington, D. C. to ask them to please try and curb their spending desires on at least some of these un essentials. We know that It Is a fact that each person we send to Washington is trying to get federal money for pro jects in their respective dis tricts. That is one reason they go there, but on the other hand, some of the pro jects may not be really es sential. These are the ones we should tr to curtail. My comments in this column pro bably will not have much ef fect in Washington, but if I encourage just a few to think for themselves, I would fi gure any effort I have ex pended along these lines was justified. ♦ • * Now on the brighter side— really everything happening today is not bad, it just seems that way to some of us. We attended a Safety Council meeting last week and heard Howard J. Straud of the Ore gon Heart Association tell of some of the developments in heart surgery. This was in deed good news to those who have had in their lives, some coronary trouble. With the open heart surgery, miracles have been performed, and more will be performed from year to year as our scientists make new discoveries. Right in our own University of Ore gon laboratories in Portland, breakthroughs in heart re search have been astounding. Money spent for this is far more important than the gov ernment shooting to put a man on the moon. THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE—MILL CITY, OREGON Santiam Loses Game At Foul Line North Santiam Pilots Working On Air Strip Project Last week Farris Benton, president of the North San tiam Pilots and Jerry Coff man, secretary, met with re presentatives of the U. S. Corps of Engineers in regard to obtaining property on the shore of Detroit Lake for the much-desired air strip. This was the fifth meeting with as many government agencies, with one more to go. All agen cies contacted have been en thusiastic about the project and the benefits to the area said Coffman. Before the project can be come a reality it is going to be necessary to co-ordinate all agencies concerned and come up with an approximate cost of $300,000.00 The plan encompasses the air strip, a small boat basin and launching area and a new athletic field for the Detroit schools.
