Newspapers, U of O Library 97403 Enterprise ON THE SCENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY — OREGON’S FAST GROWING VACATION WONDERLAND VOLUME XXIII NUMBER 42 Up and Down The Avenue Bv Don Moffatt The airwaves lately are pret ty well taken up with the polit ical candidates telling the pub lic why they should vote for them or their party. It will soon be over, and I for one, will be thankful. As the polls stand now, Nixon, the Repub lican, is ahead. I hope he stays that way. Wallace has some good points, but I would hate to vote for a third party man. Humphrey I can’t see, as in his frantic attempt to get sup porters, he seems only to ad vocate more spending to pro mote more programs of give away, and believe me, anyone who pays taxes in any form, and who doesn’t, should defin itely turn hands down on this man and his proposals. I read in the morning paper a story covering a polit ical rally held at San Francis co’s Cow Palace. There were the usual hecklers, trying to prevent any candidate the right of free speech. Jerry Ru bin, head of the Youth Inter national party who describes himself as a “revolutionary and an anarchist,” shouted invec tives at Wallace. If a person of his professed ilk can roam our streets and be protected by our laws, certainly our courts should be changed to do something about it. That type of man is a menace to our freedom, more than Russia is, therefore he should be banned from this country which pro tects him while he spouts non sense. A Berkeley professor had ad vocated a “freedom brigade to go fight the American imperial ists in Vietnam. Wallace said, “I think they ought to go ahead and raise a freedom brigade and send them over there. That would be a good way to get rid of them.” That’s a pleasant thought. To think we have col lege educators of his ilk makes me sick. I do not think he is fit to clean stables or pig pens, let alone teach in college. He should be kicked out of college, the same as a lot of these long haired kooks that litter up our campuses. If we are to remain a free nation, and enjoy the freedoms we do, we’re going to be forced to UDhold our policemen, who are trying to do a good job protecting us from such nin compoops. We’d better wake up before it is too late. The following article headed •Twenty-Five Years L a t e?” was written by Vem Scofield, of the Nebraska Press Associa tion. It was taken from the Cottonwood Chronicle over in Idaho, published by Lloyd Rose, a former Enterprise em ployee. Read it. It has some real meat in it. Americans, both men and wo men, are more than disturbed —shocked, shall I say?—at the lawlessness, the thefts, the rapes, the killings in our Great Country. I think it all started—to the degree we now know it—about 25 years ago. That takes us back to World War II. Why then? We adults—the old folks past 35—found out that if we were enlisted men we could “get by” with things. If we were junior officers we could “get by with the big boss. We are now parents, most of us. Too many of us tend to blame the young people—the 12-year-old who gets a $15-a-month allow ance for doing nothing, or de fies his parents when they want his hair cut decently . . . the “hippies” ... the 28-year- olds who feel they would rath er be on “relief” than to ac cept a job that pays less than $15,000 a year. Don’t blame them. Blame the parents, and. yes, the grandparents. We taught them these things. Most—and I hope I am not talking about the majority of Americans—have forgotten the word “no.” It’s easier to hand a youngster $2.00 to go to a movie than to argue about it. So then money has to be one of the things wrong. And mon ey started getting “easy” dur ing World War II. And now money is getting even easier to get—one way or another—for the average per son. So. f blame money, too. Time was when you had to THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE—MILL CITY, OREGON Wolverines Down Scio Loggers 26-6 Speaks at Stayton Meet Carl Frederick, representa tive of the Association of Ore gon Industries was guest speaker at the Stayton Cham ber of Commerce meeting Mon day noon. He was invited to speak on “Financing Govern ment.” His talk centered on Measure 7, which is the 1&% true cash value of property Constitutional Amendment which is on the general election ballot. The Association of Ore gon Industries is against the passage of this measure as it could “increase the taxes of property owners in future years.” Frederick said big in dustry would be the benefic iary if this measure is passed, and the small homeowner, out side of Multnomah could very well be called upon to pick up the tab.” It would be up to the Legis lature to find other means of raising the taxes to maintain our schools and other govern- ments. In citing figures of where our tax dollar goes, he said that the cost of education has risen 152% in the past 12 years while enrollment has gone up only 51%. He was also under the im- pression that school budgets are being defeated because of the huge tax bite put upon tax payers by the Federag govern ment. People have come to the point where they are rebelling against nearly all taxes. He said it was necessary to have quality education, but business leaders are now looking for ways to get more out of the education dollar. He said it would take a 4 or 5% sales tax to pick up money lost if the 1H% limita tion, proposed by Measure No. 7 were to pass on November 3. Attending the meeting from Mill City were Floyd Eastwood and Don Moffatt. Randy Marshall, Makes All-American Team LINFIELD COLLEGE, Mc Minnville. Ore.—Five Linfield varsity football players have been selected by the American Football Coaches Association as nominees for Kodak’s Col lege Division All-American team. Those given the honor in clude: Joe Robillard, senior safety from Hood River,; Ran dy Marshall, Junior defensive end from Mill City; Mike Kin caid, senior linebacker from Honolulu, Hawaii; Tim Brown, senior center from Medford, and Bob Haack, senior tackle from Dallas. This marks the first college division Kodak team, as they have selected a large-college team since 1960. A selection committee comprosed of 24 A FC A members headed by Springfield’s Ted Dunn will pick the squad. Marshall has started defen sively for Linfield for the past two seasons. After undergoing a knee operation during the summer, he appears to be In top condition for repeating as a NWC first team selection which he held a year ago. Juanita Emerson Killed Friday When Two Mill City Scouts Car Goes Into River Win Leader Awards Mrs. Juanita Emerald Em erson, 31, of Gates was killed Friday morning when her car hit a rock on rain soaked high way 22 west of Mill City about 7 o’clock. She had swerved to miss the rock but hit it and the car was flipped into the North Santiam River. Officer Tom Drynan said the Emerson auto was traveling west when it struck the rock which had been dislodged by the heavy rains. Mrs. Emerson was enroute to her work at a Salem Insurance firm. She and her small son, Chris, made their home with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Thomas, sr. The Marion county medical examiner said death was caus- ed by drowning. The car land ed upside down in the river and only the wheels were above water. Two Boy Scouts from Mill City’s Troop No. 49 passed a Junior Leader’s Training Pro gram held this past week-end at the Boy Scout Cascade Area Council office in Salem. Zachary Hampton and Floyd Peterman went through a busy and varied program which cov ered topics such as leadership, camping skills, teamwork, and patrol activities. Upon complet ion of the program, the boys both received graduation diplo mas. Floyd demonstrated both the ability to sing a solo about birdies and the ability of help ing his patrol win the Honor Patrol Award. Both boys feel that they worked quite hard to pass the program, but enjoyed every minute of it. Herbert Bastuscheck is Mill Albany Man Hurt in City Scout Master. work—and work hard—for a buck. No more. There are even 4-day weeks for certain people. And I’ve even read that the 3-day work week is not far away. So I say it all started 25 years ago, and “it” has grown in "popularity.” With “it” has grown lawless ness and disobedience of auth ority. Just how proud do you think you’d be if you were a policeman and could give very little information on a crime to a reporter—or any American —for fear of losing your job, Thanks to the recent Reardon Report, that’s just what’s hap pening. The recent tragedy in Los Angeles, you might say. was the result of one “nut.” But those “nuts” are all over the country. I hope and pray that this “first 25 years” is not the start of a pattern for our Country that will end up as it did for another great and powerful country —the Roman Empire. I have fears and concerns we’re heading that way. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1968 Led by the passing cf Ron Johnson, the receiving of Lar ry Hillesland, and the running of Howard Lyness, Santiam’s Wolverines marched to victory over the Scio Loggers in Cap ital Conference football action Friday night on Allen Field. The win gave the Wolverines a 2-2 conference record. Things started off rapidly af ter Doug Cline’s opening kick. Mike Long tackled Scio’s re- ceiber; the receiver fumbled; Santiam recovered and went on to score a touchdown on a three yard run by Howard Lyness on the first play of the game. Santiam’s ex tra-point attempt failed. Minutes later Quarterback Johnson passed to end Hilles land for a 53 yard touchdown Play, lAillback Dave Ruby’s kick for the extra-point was good. In less than 10 minutes of the first quarter, the Wolver ines scored for the third time. This time on a 30 yard touch down pass from Johnson to Hillesland. Ruby’s kick was again good. This left Santiam ahead 20-0 at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter the Loggers slipped by for a touch down on a 5 yard run by Bob Truitt. Their attempt for the extra-point failed, leaving the score at half-time 20-6. The third quarter proved bet ter for the Wolverines than the second. Lyness scored again on a 2 yard plunge into the end zone. The kick for the extra point failed. The fourth quarter was a stalemate with neither team scoring. Total yardage gained by San tiam was 356 yards. Santiam’s offense was sparked by Larry Hillesland and Ron Johnson, with 129 and 113 yards respec tively. Johnson also completed 6 of 9 passes in the game. Defensive stand outs for the Wolverines were Mike Long with 11, and Ron Johnson anti Lee Stafford each with ten tackles.

The only exceptions to this rule are: (a) if the voter is un able, by reason of physical dis ability, to attend the election and (b) the voter will, by rea son of an emergency occuring within the five days before the election, be absent from the County on the day of election. Tn both instances where appli cation is made within the five day period, a sworn affidavit stating one of the above rea sons must accompany the ap plication. Because it is desired that every qualified person have the opportunity to exercise the right of franchise in our gov ernment, Penfold urges those, contemplating making absentee ballot applications, to do so im mediately. Penfold added that 557 absen tee ballots have been mailed virtually to every comer of the world with a high percen tage going to servicemen in lo cations Indicated only by an APO number. Penfold suggested that per sons who were going to avail themselves of a right to an ab sentee ballot do so at the ear liest opportunity in order that the ballot may be marked and returned in ample time to be counted with the regularly cast ballots on election day. The four rules for voting ab sentee ballot are if the elector is (1) going to be absent from the County on election day. (2) physically unable to go to the polls. (3) is a service voter, (4) resides more than fifteen miles from voting place. DETROIT—Old Man winter is getting progressively closer all the time Over the week-end he moved, one might say, al most into the upper Canyon back yard. Snow was visible at a pretty close range. Salem Chemeketans, an out door club, who made a hike Saturday to Firecamp Lakes in the Cascade Range 20 miles east of Detroit, reported three to four inches of snow near the lakes. A spokesman of the group said they traveled in heavy snowfall and high winds at times Saturday, Their goal was the 4,800 foot elevation at the end of Road S918A South east of Breitenbush Hot Springs. Hunters returning home late Saturday afternoon and even ing also encountered snow on Santiam Pass. Several report ed hunting in snow in their respective areas in Eastern and Central Oregon. Board Studies Multiple Use Auditorium The Board of Directors of Administrative School District 129J is currently studying the feasibility of building an audi- tcrium facility as an addition to the Santiam High School plant. A number of auditorium installations have been inspect ed, with an eye to what they could do for the educational program at Santiam High School. Funds for the construction of additional facilities are avail able, thanks to the fact that the patrons of Administrative School District 129J five years ago voted a serial levy for con struction purposes. This serial levy has matured, providing the district with construction funds and eliminating the nec essity for bonding. The Board is in general a- greement that unless an audi torium can be made to serye a multiple use, it would be Diffi cult to justify in terms of the educational needs of the dis Lonnie Bodeker will take up trict.

Lonnie Bodeker To Reign As Homecoming Queen Homes in Mill City May be Renumbered At the October meeting of the city council there was dis cussion on the possibility of the Jaycees taking the uniform numbering of houses in the city as a service project. Houses were numbered about 10 years ago with the Lions club members doing the work. Since that time many new homes have been built and thus renumbering on a more uniform basis is being consid ered. At the time of the original numbering it was one of the steps that would have been ne cessary for house-to-house mail delivery; however, this service did not materialize. Police Chief Don Gillenwat er said there were 17 cases processed through municipal court in September with 16 traffic warnings given and 11 traffic citations issued. There were 2 prisoners lodg ed in jail; 15 complaints an swered, the police car patrolled 2,043 miles and used 202.4 gal lons of gas.
