THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE—MILL CITY. 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. He
will replace Chief Jim Taylor,
who resigned to become po
lice chief at Mt. Angel.
In other business the coun
cil:
Paid bills totaling $772.50.
Granted the following build
ing permits: Howard Farmen
for a carport at his home;
Burl Music to build a two-car
garage at his home; Harvey
Blaylock to build a house on
S. E. Kingwood; and Dave
Hiebert to build a house on
S. E. Fairview.
Passed Ordinance No. 100
creating the office of City
Recorder-Treasurer, as the old
ordinances regarding these
offices were repealed as they
were outdated. Ordinances
Nos. 101 and 102 were also
adopted.

nounced the program, and in

Morgan of the Willamette
Council of Camp Fire Girls.

for the camp, Many girls

Mrs. Paul Brady lead the

The program consisted of
numbers by the various

The second grader’s program
depicted France; third grade,
Spain; fourth grade, Switzer
land, and fifth grade, Japan.
Mrs. Barnhardt stated “this
year we could have had many
more girls in our program,
but it was impossible to get
enough leaders to take care

marines have two complete
crews, called Blue and Gold,
of about 130 officers and men
each. 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. Hunt, com
manding officer of the tanker
USS Kennebec, telling of the
work the men on the ship
have been doing in recent
weeks. They had just left Su
bic Bay and will be pumping
fuel to the many ships operat
ing in that area, and then
they will be moving along the
coast o f South Vietnam.

Lyons as a crew member of
the Kennebec.
One of the thrills they ex
perienced was a verbal “well
done” from the USS Enter
prise after they had refueled
her. The Enterprise is the
biggest nuclear carrier afloat.
In the closing paragraph
Commander Hunt said: “we
are still, as of now, schedu'ed
to i eturn in September. We
all hope that nothing happens
to upset this planning, but a
schedule is uncertain that
far in advance. Give your
men a boost, write to us
often.”

Pacific Power
Cautions Kids
Flying Kites
Citizens of Mill City lost
one of their oldtimers
warning from Pacific Power
& Light Company of the haz
ards of flying kites near elec
trip power lines.
Parents should check the
type of string and kite to be
flown by their youngsters,
the company said, keeping in
mind these
recommended
safety rules:
Never fly kites in wet wea
ther, because damp string can
conduct electricity;
Always fly kites away from
power lines and TV and rad
io aerials;
Never use kite string with
metallic strands;
Avoid kite frames with met-
al bracings or metallic tails;
and
Always avoid busy streets
and highways while flying
kites.
Parents are urged to cau
tion youngsters to stay in
open fields and away from
power lines. If a kite becomes
entangled in a power line,
call Pacific Power. Never at
tempt to climb a power pole
or trees near the line to free
the kite.
