OREGON THUURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 1968 Aerial View of Frank Lumber Co., Inc., Mill City Up and Down The Avenue By Don Moffatt We received a news release recently from the YMCA in Salem and the heading was “Learn To Live With Your Teen-Ager.” By golly, that is a good idea—but on the other hand how about the Teen- Ager learning live with his parents and other adults. That is where he will be thrust be fore long, and he had better learn to meet that responsibil ity, or we’ll have ever in creasing relief rolls, and cases where youth can’t adjust. Of course this works both ways. Parents should accept their responsibility in teaching the basic ways of life in the home They should not rely entirely on the schools.

Recipient of one of the first cards was Mrs. E. E. Logsdon. The Logsdons who live at West Linn have a summer home in Detroit. The gold card entitles senior citizens to a free pass to events at Clackamas Community col lege. and also to free tuition to classes. This is something that could be inaugurated right here at Santiam High. I think that it would be a good thing to give our senior citizens this courtesy, and as long as we have a big gym, their attendance would not crowd out those paying for their tickets. How about it? A friend of mine said the ether day that his wife had ft und three good diets this week. and decided to go on all of them—at the same time. Santiam High School Receives Rating of Full Approval Santiam High School has been rated a fully approved Secondary High school. The annual reports of the North west Association of Second ary and Higher Schools for Oregon secondary schools have been processed in keep ing with the procedures of the Association. They were examined first by members of the State Committee, assist ed by members of the Advis- oryor Committee from the Oregon Association of Secon dary School Principals. All reports were then re-examin ed by special committees ap pointed by the chairman of Secondary Commision at the Annual Meeting in Portland. December 11-13, 1967. The accreditation ratings for member schools are listed as fully approved, approved with comment, approved with advice, or approved with warning.

Scoreboard Project Still Short of Funds For Completion Have Busy Week GATES—The Gates Volun teer Fire Department were busy Sunday and Tuesday with a drill and an emergency call. Tuesday morning January 23 a* approximately 11:00 a. nt. a fire alarm was turned in by Mrs. Sarah Rains. A flu fire, caused by some type of obstruction in the chimney, was quickly taken care of by a number of volunteers who turned out. There was no da mage to the house reporter! at that time Mrs. Rains had been notified by a neighbor of excessive smoke and then investigated. Sunday afternoon. January 21 the volunteers were called out on a practice drill and then proceeded, for practice, in burning and controlling a i.arce rubbish fire at the homo of Monte Carpenter. Prior to January, a paper paid the post office 10c for each such notice. Now it pays 15c. In a year's t me, even on a small paper like The Nlill City Enterprise, there are a great many such notices, for quite a few subscribers fail to remem ber to notify the paper when they move or otherwise change their addresses. The postage hike thus gets the paper going and coming. Its second class rates were increased, and when It is not de livered because of an address deficiency, it has to pay the advanced rate for the post office notice. Sometimes several papers pile up in a post office undeliv ered, all destined for the same address. And the |>aper may get several notices—at 15c each—notifying that the address is insufficient or has been changed. If all subscribers will be thoughtful and courteous enough—as many are—to notify The Mill City Enterprise In advan<-e when an address will be changed, this post ofiice charge will be avoided and the paper will follow the sub- scriber to his new address without delay. The Enterprise has been absorbing increased costs in mailing for some time, but the time is coming In the near future when we will no longer be able to operate under the present subscription nite. Possibly within the next few months, a moderate rate increase will be necessary. One thing more when you notify the paper of your ad dress change, will you please also give your former address. We cannot keep track of all our subscribers, although we can figure out most of them. This little courtesy will be helpful In enabling us (o keep The Enterprise coming to your proper address.
