Newspaper», IT of O Library 9740’ Enterprise ON THE SCENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY — OREGON’S FAST GROWING VACATION WONDERLAND VOLUME XXIII NUMBER 44 THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE—MILL CITY, OREGON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1968 $4.00 a YEAR — 10c a Copy ====================3=====»=—5==—— Up and Down The Avenue By Don Motfntt Oregon residents who on last Friday didn’t listen to the de bate between Candidate for the U. S. Senate Bob Packwood and incumbent Wayne Morse, real ly missed something. I was apprehensive about the debate from the beginning, feeling like many other people that Morse would tear his young adversary limb from limb. Not so. Packwood really twisted the old tiger’s tail and brought him out of his corner really fighting mad at one point when he said he couldn’t cutspend Morse, as he seemed to have a lot of money coming in from outside sources, “more than he had from Oregon.” This brought a cry of personal at tack from Morse, who said he did not like dragging the of fice of Senator through the mud. If Packwood did drag the office through the mud, and I do not think he said any thing out of line. Morse uses his position of Senator to vll- lify personalities, even the pre sident of the United States, and other top-ranking officials. That has been the elder Sen ator’s main stay during his years in office—that of dissent. You must give him credit for being a fearless man—as he doesn’t care who he steps on— as long as he gets his own way.. Another barb that Packwood sent home was when he quoted Morse in a statement used years ago by Morse who was supporting the late Senator Richard Neuberger against Guy Cordon when he said: “never confuse seniority with ability because when you go to the mat ability will win every time. Whenever you’ve got a chance to replace an incumbent U. S. Senator, even if he is a committee chairman w’ith a dy namic young legislative leader, take that opportunity.” Pack wood also said that he felt we ‘couldn’t afford any more sen iority.” If by some chance Packwood doesn’t win, Morse will know that he has been in a fight for his life as a Senator. Maybe Packwood can take him off his throne. I certainly hope so, as 1 feel Packwood is the type of man we need in Washington right now. This political campaign will be history after November 5, and I for one hope that every registered man and woman in the country will go to the polls and vote the way he feels will lie best for his country. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you must vote a straight ticket. Many voters cross party lines to elect those they feel best qualified for service to the country. Let us hope that this will be the case again this year. I still feel that Nixon is ‘the one” for president of the Unit ed States, and whether or not you vote for him, I think he’ll do a good job as president. Just to prove that I’m not a one-party man. I certainly feel that Al Ullman is the best man for U. S. Representative and I’ll vote for him. He is a good sincere man. So is State Re presentative Gerald Detering. He will work for all the people of Linn County. One thing for sure, after this election is ever—let’s all get to work and support the men who come out on top, as after all, this is the American way. The Marion County Welfare Commission learned Monday that there is a new regulation which alters the policy that requires able-bodied welfare re cipients to work on community projects. For the past eight years in Marion county people receiv ing welfare have worked for their money. That’s good isn’t it? It is supposed to help a man feel like he is earning his keep, instead of pushing him down with a government dole. I guess work programs will still be available, and the wel fare people are trying to create iohs for those who are Interest ed in working. They will also try to offer the type of train ing that can lead to permanent ■'¡bs. Timber Sale Fund Now Restored Camp Fire Cookie Makers The erder for reduction in timber sales from national for ests has been rescinded, Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., Monday. He said the Forest Service would move immediately to re schedule sales that had been cut back. The entire 400 million board feet that had been eliminated from projected sales will be re stored within the fiscal year ending next June 3. The reduction had amounted to 10 per cent of the allowable cut on all national forests. Morse said it all was restored in all forests. The Department of Agricul ture, under which the forests are handled restored the money to the Forest Service from funds that became available when Congress excluded Com modity Credit Corp, crop insur ance money from the $6 billion national budget reduction en- acted in July. Although the restoration of funds will allow resumption of the full timber cut, Morse said Local Camp Fire Girls were busily engaged in bak the restriction on personnel ad ing cookies Thursday afternoon. The cookies were ditions still stood. served to mothers at a meeting that evening.

Republican candidate, Rich ard M. Nixon, defeated Demo crat Hubert H. Humphrey, and the American Independnt Party candidate, George C. Wal lace, on Santiam High School’s Straw Ballot recently. Nixon came in with 64 votes, 12 above Hubert Humphrey’s 52 votes. Wallace surprised most observ ers, coming in a strong third with 37 votes. Write-ins were political comedians Eugene Mc Carthy and Pat Paulsen, re ceiving 4 and 2 votes respect ively. Cross-over votes appar ently helped Nixon’s victory as four out of five of the other offices went Democratic. Robert Straub’s well organ ized campaign proved effective as he was the leading vote get ter with a 125 to 30 triumph over Ancil Page for State Treasurer. In the race for State Attorn ey General Robert Thornton came out ahead of Republican Ivee Johnson with a vote of 101 to 87. Keeping things going for the Democrats, Al Ullman, got to the root of things with a strik ing victory over his opponent, Marv Root, for the office of U. S. House of Representatives, Second District. The vote was 113 to 40. Senior Citizen. Wayne Morse Morse, trying for his 5th term in the U. S. Senate, won with a vote of 89 to 70.

In an indecisive vote, Walter Blake squeezed by Dale Parnell 41-39 in the bid for State Sup erintendent of Public Instruc tion.

In a negative mood, the stu- dets voted down both ballot measure No. 6, the Bond Issue to Acquire Ocean Beaches and No. 7, the Constitutional Am endment, changing the proper ty tax limitation.

Blackleg Found in Mehama By Jean Roberts MEHAMA—Cattle ranchers in the Mehama area are being advised to vaccinate for black leg pending a vérifiée! report of blackleg in a young animal near Mehama by Erwin Pear son, Stayton veterinarian. Death by blackleg is sel dom diagnosed as most animals are elead within 24 hours and illness is not noticed until it is too late. This animal, belong ing to Austin Longfellow was discovered in the early stages of the disease and proper medi cation given, followeel by gen erous amounts of penicillin. Most susceptable to blackleg are cattle 6 to 18 months old. Sucking calves under 4 months and cattle past 2 years are seldom attacked, states Pear sen. Cattle of improved breed ing and fat, thrifty calves and yearlings usually develop the disease first. Vaccination is the only ef fective and reliable means known for protecting animals against blackleg. Blackleg should be suspected when calves and yearlings die sud denly. The disease is so sudden that animals affected are us ually found dead in the pasture without showing previous symptoms. Some animals re cover but most affected ani mals die within 12 to 36 hours. Detroit Civic Club Hosts Federation Stanley Ogden and Betty Bostwick, who headed the Democrats arranging for the Meet the Candidate Reception at the Fellowship hall of the Presbyterian Church, said they would liked to have seen a larger crowd. However, those attending were able to ask the Linn and Marion county candidates some pertinent questions on issues and their candidacies. Refreshments were served throughout the informal talks by the committee in charge. George Thompson, a retired Las Vegas police chief, who has made Mill City his resi dence, was main speaker at the Lions club dinner Monday night. He gave a resume of the growth of that “gay city", find said in i905 it was only one mile square. He moved there in 1909 when the popu lation was only 250. He made several remarks about the city, and stated it was a good place to raise a family. He stated the children see everything out in the open, it takes away a lot of the glamor of “living it up”. He said there was less crime among the young people of Us Vegas than in many other cities. “The clubs give generously to churches and to charity.” He said the 100 churches in the city have most ly been built by contributions of the clubs. In Nevada there is no income tax, and property tax is low. Las Vegas has about 5,000 negroes living there, in their own city, separate from the main town of Vegas. He said they have no racial trouble, because most of the negroes are employed in the clubs. As long as they abide by the law, and keep their “noses clean” there is no trouble. They know when they are well off, and cause no trouble. They mingle in the stores and get along just fine. He said there is lots of oth er types of recreation in that area. It one time most of their water supply came from artes ian wells, but now some comes from Lake Mead. Fishing is good at the lake, and outside of the intense heat of the sum mer months, it is a good place to live. President Bill Metteer ap pointed Martin Hansen, Bill Lewellen, Fred Krecklow and himself to the new club com mittee. The men will attempt to get a club organized at De troit for the upper canyon ar ea.
