OREGON THURSDAY^ MARCH161967 Girls Entertain at Camp Fire Dinner Friday Evening The Avenue By Don Moffatt Saturday citizens of Mill City lost one of its oldtimers when they laid to rest C. E. (Pink) Mason, who had spent 60 of his 72 years right here. During this time he had serv ed in many capacities in the dischaige of his civic duties, but the one I will always re member is the many years he spent as street commissioner. During these years one could see him driving around town in his pickup, checking up on what needed to be done to the streets. During his tenure as councilman in the capacity of street commissioner, we have seen nearly every street in town paved—and without a bond issue too. Each year more streets have been paved, until Mill City can boast be ing a city of nearly all paved streets, and also being debt free. Much of this is due to the untiring efforts of Pink. He had a love for the city, and was proud of being a part of it. He also was an ardent out doors man. He loved to hunt and fish, and many residents were the recipients of his catches. Indeed, we have lost a good citizen, and one who will be hard to replace. If the city were presented a bill for the many hours he spent at his duties, it would be hard pres sed to pay the bill, or at least we would have to raise our taxes considerably to pay the bill. Let us remember then, this man who has been our friend, and who did so much to improve our city. To his family we extend our heart felt sympathy, but at the same time, they should be rightfully proud of him. Don Gillenwater of Leban on was hired as Chief of Police at the recent Mill City Council meeting. Gillenwater has been with the Linn Coun ty Sheriff’s office for six years and has been a ser geant for the last two and a half years. He comes highly recommended to the city.

The crews alternate on patrols with the off-duty men employed in specialized train ing ashore. Mr. and Mrs. Art Kerr were the recipients this week of a letter from R. F.
