/braiv The Mill City Enterprise VOLUME XXII NUMBER 47 Up and Down The Avenue By Don Moffatt Here it is Thanksgiving Day again. It seems only a few short weeks ago that we were celebrating this event a year ago. The older we get the faster time goes, or at least that is the way it seems to me. We should stop for a time on Thanksgiving Day to give thanks for our many blessings. True, we have had a bit of bad luck in this area this past year. Forest fires have caused many dollars worth of damage and we lost two plywood mills this season. Still all is not bad. Remaining mills have in creased production and new mills are In operation. The weather this Fall has been such that loggers are “hitting the ball’ to build up cold decks to keep the mills rolling this Winter. For all the good things that have been receiv ed, let us give thanks unto God. Have you ever thought about this? If you do some thing bad, everybody always knows about it. But, you could go to church every Sunday of your Life, take home stray kittens and help old ladies across the street forever and never find your self classed as a celebrity. The younger generation and most particularly the older teen-age section of it are in this position. We have the few who lead riots, and so- called “hippies” and trouble makers, who seem to get all the publicity. Every adult should remember that this minority of the younger gen eration is not indicative of the ambition, intelligence or solid accomplishment of the vast majority of our younger generation. We should tell more of the achievements of our young people and mini mize the publicity of the few odd balls which encourages them to seek the limelight. Jim Rose, who drives school bus on the old road to Lyons said today that some people are not observing the law which says they “shall not pass a school bus while the red lights are flashing.” This is a practice that should be corrected Maybe it would be a good idea for a state police car to follow the school bus on this route a few times, to make believers out of those who are ignoring this import ant law. The school children, especially on foggy or rainy morning, should be given every means of protection. The school bus law was enact ed for just this reason. Just because you see no children getting on or off a bus, is no reason you can pass as long as tl ? red lights are flashing.

Now completed is the aerial seeding of 188 acres on two skyline units’ in the Humbug and French Creek areas. These were seeded with Douglas fir, planting a half pound of seed per acre. It is interesting to note that there are 20.000 seeds in the above quantity. Some hand seeding has been done, according to Mr. Wet tergreen, in one unit in the Humbug area. Some 146,000 seeds of White Pine have been used as both Oregon and Washington have been losing a great deal of their White Pine due to blister rust These are special seeds from resistant tree parents and the study Is being made to see if the blight can thus be controlled.

Talk Slated December 2 A meeting was held Satur day night at the Union hall in Lyons when three represen tatives of NEWS Plastics In dustries met with a full house to talk of plans for starting a plastic manufacturing com pany in the area. Bob Lawson, production development research man for the firm spoke, telling of the many benefits which would accrue to the area if it is possible to locate the firm here. He was introduc ed by Fred Lindemann, Lyons real estate and insurance man. Others from the pro posed firm were Joe Venti, secretary and Harvey Kerr, llason man. Lawson said there was no manufacturing firm making plastic products in this part of the state and that with an unlimited supply of raw ma terial not coming from the woods, it would be of great benefit to this area. The firm possibly would manufacture some 32 different products, and possibly get some con tracts from Boeing in Seattle. Lawson said Boeing is trying now to get subcontractors to work outside of the Seattle area. Lawson, who has had 16 years in plastic research and development work, said the firm could use the Simpson plant if arrangements could be made to get it, or they could construct a new build- ing. Fred Lindeman said today that another meeting would be held at Mari-Linn school at 7 p. m. Saturday, Decem ber 2 when anyone interested in acquiring stock in a closed co-op should attend.
