ON THE SCENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY — ORE GON’S FAST GROWING VACATION WONDERLAND

This Thursday, Memorial
Day is a day of memories—a
day when we should pause
and pay tribute to those who
have died for their country.
We should think of our early
history when the men at Con­
cord bridge and Lexington
green died that this country
might be free and strong.
Sometimes we go far afield
from the principles which our
men have fought, and arc
fighting for right now. Our
country is becoming soft in
many respects. Many of our
people have lost all respect
for law and order, and soon
we should get back to the
principle of working for a
living instead of marching in
minority groups trying to get
the government to give them
a handout. Good hard work
never hurt anyone. Some of
these young punks should
try it. If they’d get their
hair out of their eyes, maybe
they could see the light.
The Enterprise is going out
early this week, so we, too,
can enjoy our great National
Holiday, and our Whitewater
Challenge.
Have fun. and take care of
vourselves.

Pacific Power
Has Accident
Free Record
Albany district employees
Pacific Power & Light Com­
pany have completed their
fourth consecutive year of
work without a single acci-
dent resulting in time away
from the job.
John Kohls, PP&L’s local
manager from Stayton, re­
ported that the safety record
places the Albany district in
third place among 39 PP&L
districts and departments for
most man-hours worked safe­
ly.
Albany district employees
have accumulated almost a
millions hours of safe work
—957,856 man hours of safety
on the job.
The last lost-time accident
in the district occurred m
May, 1964.
“This outstanding record
of safe work in a potentially
hazardous occupation is the
result of a combination of ap­
plied safety training tech­
niques and an awareness on
the part of men of the need
for safe and careful procedur­
es,’’ the manager said.

New Whitewater Queen
Demands upon the Grade
School Gymnasium has neces­
sitated a change to Santiam
High School Gymnasium for
graduation.
The grade school gym is
equipped to handle 500 people
and no more. The Santiam
High School graduation class
with 51 members, the largest
in the history of the school
here, will require seating for
800 people as a minimum.
Total possible seating is 1000
and it is the hope all seats
will be filled.

Crowned Whitewater
Queen Saturday Night
Madalyn Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Smith of Idanha, was named Queen of the 6th Annual
Whitewater Challenge at ceremonies held Saturday
evening at the Mill City Grade School gymnasium.
She was crowned by last year’s Queen Larie Goss
of Stayton. The new queen is a senior at Detroit High
school and played a piano solo for her talent portion
of the program. The attractive, tall brunette was very
