The Mill City Enterprise volume xxm NUMBER 30 lip and Down The Avenue Bv Don Moffatt This is the time of year when America is on the move. Anyone can see this on the weekends—and all during the week for that matter. When you are on the coast, you feel certain that everyone in the state plus hundreds of tour ists are there too. But when you start out for home, there are just about as many cars going to the coast as they are coming inland. When you get to Salem, there is a solid string of cars, campers, boats, trailers, and all the other ve hicles that make vacation time more enjoyable. In some places I suppose this summer period means riots, marches, and all the other modern forms of some type of protest. Here, at least for now, we are more or less free from the odd balls of the world. Until this summer, we have had no hippies, or other off-beat people, but now they are moving into Fox Valley. Even if they do no particular harm, I feel they are of no real value to the community either. Unless a person can earn his own living, and con tribute something to an area, except those who are ili or retired, we would be better off without them. The days of dusty roads, ba refoot boys and the old swimmin’ hole are nearly gone. Now it is no problem to travel several hundreds of miles for a weekend. Of course the barefoot bit is now extend ed to a larger segment of our society, and many times it is hard to tell the boys from the girls—but by and large, we do live in a pretty wonderful country. Let’s all work to keep it that way.

The steel bridge over the Little North Fork was closed Tuesday to all logging trucks. Marion County Public Works Director John A. Anderson an nounced the closure shortly before noon. He said a log truck did an undetermined a- mount of damage to the bridge Tuesday morning. It is still passable to auto mobiles, he said. An investi gation is under way to deter mine the extent of the dam age. Officials do not know who caused it. The bridge, commonly known as the Meyers Bridge, has been damaged frequently by log trucks carrying loads too high to go under the struc ture.
