The Mill City Enterprise ON THE SCENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY — OREUuN’S FAST GROWING VACATION WONDERLAND VOLUME XXIII NUMBER 16 THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE—MILL CITY, OREGON Girl of the Month Places To Change Sites The Avenue Bv Don Moffatt FEAR HATE DISTRUST IGNORANCE VIOLANCE These are some of the words that come to mind today. These are ugly words in our vocabulary that are causing much of the trouble in our cities. These are words that people of all nationalities must learn to live without. The first one fear. It is a ter rible thing to live in fear. Why must people live in fear of life itself. Fear comes a- long in many ways. Some peo ple are afraid of the dark, others are afraid to be them selves. Some people are afraid to speak out, and express themselves for fear of what their neighbors or friends may think. Hate is a bad thing. Have you ever noticed that when you hate something or some one you become sick inside. Things never go right. It would be much better to for get the hate and work to wards some form of under standing. The world today is full of distrust. Lack of confidence in our fellow man. Ignorance, too, must come into the picture. Many people who do not know the facts do strange things. Many times we are at odds with our fel low man just because we are ignorant of things that make him tick. And last of all violence. This is a culmination of the first four words. If we do not know how to cope with life, we turn to violence to ac complish our desires. All of these things are wrong. What we need today are: LOVE TRUST TOLERANCE FAITH UNDERSTANDING When we learn to have a little more love in our hearts and less hatred, we will then have the basis of a lasting peace in our country and in the world in general. When we learn to trust one another, it will be much easier to understand what causes all the unrest in our country and in the world. When we practice tolerance, it will be another step to wards living together in a wholesome community. This will possibly put a stop to some of the rioting and fool ish demands made by one race of another. One of the most potent words in our language today is faith. Without faith all else seems futile. If we have faith in God, in our neighbors, our friends and our country, we then can begin building a sta ble future. And last, understanding. How easy it is for us to con demn the other fellow for his faults. Maybe if we could be a little more understanding, many of our problems could be ironed out without violence and bloodshed. AU of these things could be a part of a scheme, and if we really worked at it, think what we could accomplish as a nation. Detroit Grade School Students Receive Grades DETROIT — Francis Dum mer, superintendent of schools at Detroit reports the follow ing honor grades for elemen- tory students for the past six weeks Eighth Grade Glenda Beachy Sue Morgan Ricky Alley Marv Bittner Randv Gardner JoAnne Honson Grank Golden Seventh Grade 4.0 Diana Reachy 10 Lucv Young 3.6 Carol Sheldon 3.3 ,’udv Benton District Polling Judy Pate, a senior at San tiam High School, was chosen girl of the month for the month of March. Judy is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Pate of Gates. She has been active in Pep club for four years and is cur rently their treasurer, Class treasurer her Junior and Sen ior year, Editor of the Annual and a member of G. A. A. Judy plans on going to work in the business field after her graduation from Santiam in May. Recent changes in school district election laws have ad ded considerably to the cost of conducting school district el ections. In the past polling places were opened from 2:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Under cur rent regulations polling places arc required to be open from 8:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. This has doubled the cost of school district elections. Districts of our size and class normally have only one polling place, and the Board of Directors of Administra tive School District 129J has decided to hold the Annual School Election, May 6th, in just one polling place. San tiam High School will be the designated polling place for both the Mill City and Gates The Annual School Election will be held for the purpose of electing a member of the Board of Directors for a five- year term. Clare D. Henness is running unopposed for the position.
