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.
