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.

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.
