Gen. Ret. and Doc. Div. Newspapers, IJ of o Library 97403 ON THE SCENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY — OREGON’S FAST GROWING VACATION WONDERLAND VOLUME XXIII NUMBER 20 THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE— MILL CITY, OREGON City Council To Up and Down Contact County on The Avenue Debris Removal Boy of The Month By Don Moffatt There is a lot in the news these days about rioting stu dents in our colleges. This is a disgrace, and I often won der if this minority of young college people really know what they are rioting for. Pic tures in a recent news maga zine would lead me to believe that these students are not the type of people who should have too much to say about how the colleges are operated, or for that matter, anything else. I feel that the college ad ministrators should just ex pel these students right now, and not give them a right tc any education—as it looks as if they are" the type that would be trouble mongers all through their lives. Just why should a few unkempt stu dents be given any voice in an institution of higher learn ing? It beats me. Give them the "big toe” and let them know what real authority is. Do not let these few deprive the good sincere students an opportunity of a good edu cation. As long as we have a namby pamby form of leader ship, we’ll have this type of person, who will take ad vantage of it. It is high time the law aserts itself, and sees to it that all people abide by the laws of our society. I think this present march on Washington is without merit. I feel that a few chos en representatives of these people could do a much bet ter job. If Mrs. Martin Luther King would pick a dozen or so of her people to visit Wash ington, without all the fan fare and chance of further violence and murder, I feel just as much would be ac complished for her people. As far as the government at tempting to buy peace and tranquillity by bigger govern ment spending is a dubious course at best. Personally I do not see how the govern ment is going to find some two million more jobs in the next two or three years, without creating these jobs itself. If the government does, we’ll have more inflation than we have right now. The idea of expansion of welfare payments and a guaranteed annual income for everyone leaves me cold. I cannot see bow it is to be accomplished. At the May meeting of the City Council there was con siderable discussion regard ing the trees and old posts that had been dumped over the river bank on N. W. Alder when the Marion County crew was working there. The work crew had been placing a new guard rail there and the old posts were dumped over the bank. The council members can vassed the May 7 votes re garding the special sewer system on the north side of town. Result of count showed 63 yes, 205 no, and one void. There were 17 uniform traffic citations issued during April; 20 municipal citation warnings; 19 cases that went through court; 18 complaints were answered. The police car patrolled 2,162 miles us ing 218 gallons of gasoline. Bills in the amount of $932.31 were ordered paid. Summer Must Be Here; Recreation Report Comes In The first recreation report of the year from the Mill City ranger station was issued this week. Even though the weath er has been on the cool side many fishermen and other outdoor enthusiasts have “ta ken to the trails.” The Breitertbush road is open all the way to Estacada and the French Creek road is open for five miles. Also op en are the Boulder Ridge and Cedar Creek roads. Most elevation trails are op en and all campgrounds are open except Elk Lake which still has snow. Fishermen might note that in the Detroit Reservoir troll ing is best. Catches are good around Piety Knob. The San tiam arm is best for bank fishing but the fish are small. Catches are reported fair at Breitenbush river. Little North Fork of San tiam has fishing closed above point 200’ below salmon falls until June 15. For flower lov ers the rhododendron and dogwood are in abundant bloom. Santiam Fishing Good Says Gene Teague Girl of The Month nize this registration is im portant to your child and to the school.

I Jaycees To Sponsor Safety Check The Mill City Jaycees have chosen for one of their com munity projects the Vehicle Safety Check program. This project entails the free check ing of automobiles for faulty brakes, lights, steering, tires, exhaust, glass, wipers and washers, mirrors, horn and seat belts. The purpose of such a pro- ject is to assure the safe con- dition of each car and to draw attention of the driver to these conditions in need of repair. Drivers of faulty cars are hazardous to them selves and others. Even the best of drivers are poor risks if they are driving cars with bad brakes, worn tires, or other neglected items. The success of this project depends entirely upon com munity support. The Jaycees can only offer a chance for the free safety check. The volunteer safety check gives every driver a chance to do his part toward making the community a safer place in which to live. The safety check program will be conducted Friday and Saturday, May 25 and 26 on the employee parking lot at Hilltop Market. This program is co-ordinat ed with the National Vehicle Safety Check for communities sponsored by Auto Industries Highway Safety committee and Look magazine, with the cooperation of the Association of State and Provincial Safety Coordinators. $3.50 a YEAR — 10c a Copy Metteer Heads Lians Club f Bill Metteer on the left is being congratulated as new president of the Mill City Lions Club by immediate oast president Maynard Smith.

Log Exports Stir Warning Àmpie Water Promised for Word was received from the Corps of Engineers that ample water would be releas ed for the annual Memorial Day Whitewater Challenge sponsored by the North San tiam Chamber of Commerce. The North Santiam River guides heaved a sigh of re lief. It would be rough go ing for some if the river level were held down to a mini mum as it is now. The Guides are also grateful to the Sher- riff’s office for their help. As usual inquiries are coming in from Seattle to San Fran cisco in regards to the Chal lenge both from a participa tion and spectator point of view. It is too bad that someone had to appropriate the mark ers off the Mill City bridge last year. No parking signs also were taken. Some of the participants depend on the markers for a safe r.oute over the falls at Mill City. The Chamber has been notified that there will be closer sup ervision at the take off point by Sheriffs, and Liquor Con trol officers. The 14-foot drift boat that will be awarded to some lucky person, will be on dis play across from the U. S. bank In MUI City next week.

The North Santiam River Guides are asking that par ticipants refrain from discard ing anything in the river on littering up the banks. If you have to discard anything from your boat, there will be a refuse container In all guide boats. The guides will also have life rings and ropes. All guide boats will be fly ing a yellow pennant.
