Newspaper», U of O Library 07103 The Mill City Enterprise VOLUME xxni ___________ ON THE SCENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY — OREGON’S FAST GROWING VACATION WONDERLAND THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE—MILL CITY, OREGON THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1968 NUMBER 32 Senator Wayne Morse at Sportsmen's Club Up and Down The Avenue Bv Don Moffatt We read every day about the unrest and the violence in our country and sometimes we think of our country as being sick. This especially happens when someone prom inent in the affairs of our country such as the late Sena tor Robert Kennedy is killed for no apparent reason. But even this is no reason to think of America as a sick society. I think it is time we stop all the nonsense of self- reproach and self-ridicule. We should throw off the guilt complex which is threatening to envelope our country. Just because some individual has an axe to grind or some pri vate beef against some one person and even goes to the extent of killing this person, is no reason for the whole country to be condemned. The fact that a man is shot does not mean that all fire arms should be confiscated, nor that everyone who owns a gun is a suspect of crime. Even if we registered every firearm in the country, or even if the government con fiscated all these guns, it would not deter the harden ed criminal. He would still be able to get the weapons by some hook or crook. So I don’t think all this talk about firearms is really the issue at all. We never have been able to legislate morals into people. This is something that has to be instilled in a person in his youth, then nurtured throughout a life time. I feel that historically, we Americans are doers, not wor riers. Our country has done, and is doing more for its own underprivileged citizens and for the unfortunate people of the world than any other country. We shouldn’t be a- shamed of what we are ac complishing—we really have a lot for which to be proud. We’ve helped more under priv- leged people than anyone else, and many of these really have no reason to holler. We are not infallible and we do make mistakes, but a lot of the peo ple who are making the most noise are complaining about things they themselves have helped create. These people now want our whole society to plead guilty of being wrong. This is most foolish. One columinist commenting recently on the guilt complex sweeping the country said: “I am tired of the hangdog American. . . a guy who lives in the greatest country on earth and feeling he has to ap- pologize for his own exist ence . . . The hangdog Amer ican is in danger of loosing the fierce independence and self-pride of his pioneering an cestors. He is not only capitu lating to his carping critics— he is becoming his own worst critic by doubting or distrust ing his own obvious virtues: courage, ingenuity, loyalty, generosity, idealism. That is rhe worst thing that can hap pen to any man—to lose faith in himself.” This really makes sense, be cause courage, ability, and pride are hallmarks of success in any endeavor. A defeatist attitude is seldom associated with a winner or leader. Our country is a world leader in the case of justice, liberty and the dignity of man. We have no real reason to act or think as losers or second-rate citizens. Therefore let’s shed our apologetic manner and stop be littling ourselves. Let us hold our heads high and be proud of our country. Let's show some respect for it, and keep on trying to make this a bet ter country in which to live. Our society is not sick—let’s -tart acting like it is not. Barry Goldwater seemed to make the biggest stir of any one during the Republican convention Monday night in Miami. Florida. He received a standing ovation. During his talk, asking for harmony in the party, he said: “This is a wonderful country—this Am erica.” How right you are, Barry. Sen.
