You will be able to sleep
for an additional hour this
coming Sunday before you go
to church, as daylight saving
time ends this Saturday, or
early Sunday. When you go
to bed Saturday night, re
member to set your clocks
back one hour, then we will
again be operating on Pacific
Standard time. That is one
way to say that the summer
is over, as it will be dark
when we go home from work
next week.
Abraham Lincoln said:
“YOU CANNOT bring about
prosperity by discouraging
thrift, nor strengthen the
weak by weakening the
strong, nor help small men
by tearing down big men, nor
help the poor by destroying
the rich, nor help the wage
earner by pulling down the
wage-payer, nor keep out of
trouble by spending more
than your income, nor furth
er the brotherhood of man by
inciting class hatred, nor es
tablish sound security on bor
rowed money, nor build char
acter and courage by taking
away man’s initiative and in
dependence, nor help men
permanently by doing for
them what they could and
should do for themselves!”
Isn’t it too bad that we
can’t have a Lincoln in the
White House today? Of course
he would have a lot more
opposition now than he had
in his day, because then,
people were accustomed to
doing for themselevs. That
was before big government
became the “wailing wall” for
everyone who had a belly
ache or who had run into a
bit of bad luck. I often won
der just what would happen
if about half of these welfare
type programs were cut out.
There would be a real hue
and cry from the populace
hut the time will come when
it must happen.

Wolverines
To be Held Oct. 31
Win Seventh At Detroit School
Game in Row
The Wolverines won their
seventh straight game of the
season by downing Philo
math 27-14 on Allen Field
Friday night.
The Warriors got the first
score of the game on a 60-
yard pass to Dan Anderson.
The PAT was good and Phil
omath went ahead 7-0. The
Wolverines didn’t let down,
as they marched down the
field and
Mark
Bennett
scored on a five-yard run and
kicked the PAT to tie the
game.
The next Wolverine score
came on a one-yard run by
Monte Lalack, but it was
called back because of a hold
ing penalty. The next play
Mark Bennett connected with
Alan Yankus for 10 yards and
the T. D. The kick was good
and Santiam led 14-7. The
Wolverines dug in to hold a
14-7 halftime lead.
The Wolverines determin
ed to win scored again on a
35-yard punt return by Denny
Cline. The PAT was again
good, putting Santiam in the
lead 21-7.
The Warriors also fired up,
marched down the field
where Dan Anderson again
scored for Philomath. Ander
son added the extra point and
put Philomath within seven
points of Santiam once more.
The hall exchanged hands
several times before the Wol
verines scored their final TD
on a four-yard run by Monte
Lalack. The PAT failed but
the Wolverines held a 27-14
lead until the final gun.
The Wolverines (5-0) trav
el to Gervais (4-1) to play the
game which should decide
who will meet the Major
league winner.

Did you know that the gov
ernment spends more than Volunteer Firemen
$425 million a year on its pub
lic information, news, views,
and self - pleadings — more
than double the outlay for
news-gathering by the two
major U. S. news services,
and three major television
networks, and the 10 biggest
American newspapers. Much
of this huge expenditure as
reported by the Associated
Press is devoted to convincing
Americans (with their own
money) what the government
does is for their welfare.
And again I say, why take
land out of timber production
and designate it only to re
creation and wilderness? Let’s
keep it as much as possible
in multiple use management
and whenever possible leave
it in private ownership which
has the added benefit of pay
ing taxes. Personally, I wish
all of the timber in the coun
try were privately owned.
When it comes to cutting
the budget, I wish President
Johnson AND Congress would
quit passing the buck. I wish
each would do his part in
cutting out the frills of gov
ernment. I do not think we
can make a blanket cut on
the budget and come up with
a sensible document. I do,
however, believe that a lot
of fat could he cut out of the
best programs, and the worth
ies ones should be eliminated
altogether. Just pointing the
finger at the President is not
sufficient to do the job. Each
one in Washington, D. C. will
have to settle down and take
his own share of the blame
for spending huge sums of
money that are not available,
thus causing inflation.
Two Santiam High School
Boys were discussing girls
the other day. Said one:
“Why do you make such a
fuss over girls? Don’t you
know a girl is only a rag,
some bone, and a hank of
hair?’’ "So.” said his friend,
“shake hands with a happy
junk dealer.”

MEHAMA — The Mehama
Fire department was a little
confused about an alarm Fri
day night, but answered it
none the less. The siren blew
and Fire Chief Gene Coles
announced a “bus” fire.
The volunteer department
thinking he said “brush” fire
were somewhat reluctant to
answer a brush fire alarm in
the midst of a pouring rain,
but hastily came to the fire
hall anyway.
It was a Stayton school bus
enroute home from a foot
ball game, and the brake lin
ing was afire. The dry chem
ical fire extinguisher on the
bus was not effective when
used for this type of fire.
A wheel bearing was faulty
and friction had heated the
brake and welded it to the
drum.
In this type of fire a cool
ing agent, such as water, is
the only effective means of
suppressing a fire explained
Coles.
The volunteer department
had a large audience of
young people as they extin
guished the blaze.
Only 36 Voters
Turn Out for
School Election
There were only 36 people
voting Monday for a director

trict.
Hobart McQueary of Sweet
Home was running unoppos
ed in Zone 1. There are seven
zones in the district. There
were 13 votes cast at Gates,
one a write-in. There were 23
votes cast for McQueary in
Mill City.
No advance notice of this
election was published in The
Mill City Enterprise, possibly
a reason for the poor showing
at the polls.

Sell Tickets
DETROIT — A second Mar
ion County Well Child Clin
ic is scheduled October 31
from 9:30 a. m. to 3:30 p. m.
in the faculty room of the
new high school building.
The program will include
immunizations, physicals and
measles shots. Physicals will
be made by appointment only.
Appointments for children
to be examined by physicians
can be made by calling Mrs.
Howard Drago, Marion Coun
ty Health co-ordinator at 854-
3122 or the school 854-3363.
Children receiving physicals
or measles shots must be ac
companied by a parents, said
Mrs. Drago.
The Health Conference will
include children from Mill
City, Gates, Detroit, Idanha
and the Marion Forks area.
Members of the Mill City
Volunteer Fire Department
will be making a house to
house canvass this week to
sell tickets to their annual
benefit.
The evening of fun, includ
ing many concessions, games
and a dance, climaxed by the
drawing of the lucky winner
for the $100 bill, will be on
November 18.
Members will be selling
tickets the evenings of Oc
tober 25 and November 18.
They will also be soliciting
business houses in the area.
This is one benefit that most
people find it “painless" to
help if at all possible. Money
obtained goes toward equip
ment purchase and upkeep,
which means less added to
the tax roll.
Clifford Crook is general
chairman of the event this
year.
