ON THE SCENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY — OREGON’S FAST GROWING VACATION WONDERLAND
VOLUME xxin
NUMBER 50
Up and Down
The Avenue
By Don Moffatt
Residents in these parts were
surprised Saturday night when
a high wind came from the
south, really shaking things up.
Pacific Power got in for its
share of the miseries. There
was a power outage of over
eight hours, which naturally
didn’t make home owners very
happy. It was one of those
things that couldn’t be helped.
When a tree or pole goes
through a power line, it is big
trouble, and men work like
crazy to get power restored.
Most of us complain bitterly
when these things occur, but at
least we were not out in the
weather repairing the break.
Let us be thankful that it was
no worse than it was. Some
roofs were torn up and many
trees downed, but it was “just
a breeze” compared with the
October 12th storm.
It seems that every night
when I want to listen and
watch news events on TV,
about all we can get is this
protest stuff. Loud chants that
sound like, yaa, yaa — yaa,
yaa, yaa, or some such racket.
It’s not only the colored people
who are making the fuss, but
a lot of dissident whites, too. I
wonder just what they are
doing all the bellyaching about.
Especially these college kids.
Many of them never had it so
good, yet never have so few
hollered so loud.
Possibly we are becoming
too lenient with them. I can
well remember when I went to
school. What the professors
said was law. We had certain
rules to follow and it was a
sorry thing when we disobeyed
them. Some young pepple were
kicked out of high school and
college for not abiding by the
i-ules. If they caused disturb
ances, they suffered the conse
quences. I would hate to think
what would have happened to
us if we would have done some
of the things then, that are
common practice now.
For instance, if our high
school and college newspapers
printed some of the four letter
words that are being printed
now, it would have been like
kicking the Prexy in the shins,
and we didn’t do that. Now
adays this is supposed to be
some form of self-expression.
It takes no brains to get up be
fore an audience of any kind
and spout off foul words. Any
moron can do that. I was under
the impression that we sent
our young people to college to
improve their minds. Surely,
even our high school kids
know most of the answers and
have heard foul words, but we
have no reason to parade these
things in front of them con
stantly, until they feel that it
is the thing to do.
Some college papers, printed
utaide of college print shops
are being turned down by
printers, who instruct their
people not to put obscenities
into type.
One college writer said:
“Some of these old duffers, (re
ferring to printers) God-fearing
men with hair in their ears
have a feeling for the printed
word. They feel metal type Is
sacred, and you just don’t use
words like - - - - , or - - •
Well, thank God, I am one of
the old duffers, with hair in
my ears, who still feels that
the bulk of our people would
rather read something clean
and wholesome, instead of
something filthy.
I am sure our young folks
here In Mill City have the pro
per schooling, and I certainly
hope, and I believe, that our
school administrators and
teachers are of the type who
neither approve nor condone
some of the things done in our
colleges. I hate to see our
kids exposed to some of the
nit wits who are enrolled in
our institutions of higher edu
cation. however I feel with
their basic learning of truth
and goodness, they’ll be able
to pick out the wheat from the
chaff when they do enter these
-chools. Certainly they will
know better than follow this
-mall minority of trouble-mak
ers who have infested our halls
cf learning.
THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE—MILL CITY, OREGON
Gas Stations
Form New
Organization
Service station operators in
the area from Sublimity to
Gates met at the Riverview in
Mehama recently to form the
North Santiam Gasoline Deal
er’s Association. This group is
affiliated with the state or
ganization and is formed to im
prove service given to the pub
lic.
At meetings which will be
held the second Tuesday of
each month, they will discuss
mutual problems confronting
them. They will remain com
petitive in every respect, but
they felt that by being organ
ized they would have a better
opportunity of meeting their
obligation to the public. They
also will work for legislation
which would benefit gasoline
dealers.
Harold Wiltse, of Mehama,
was named president; Larry
Guenther of Stayton, vice pre
sident, and Delbert Goforth of
Mill City, secretary-treasurer.
Leading the discussion at the
organizational meeting was
Wayne Bowlby, executive di
rector of the state group from
Portland.
President Wiltse stated he
was pleased with the turnout
of station operators in the area,
and • hoped other would join
later.
Those joining at the initial
meeting were: Ripp’s Richfield
and D & E Mobile of Sublim
ity; Larry’s Shell, Webb’s Tex
aco and Dale’s Texaco of Stay
ton; Harold’s Texaco at Me
hama; Cec’s Garage and Seig’s
Richfield at Lyons; Dell’s Shell,
Bob’s Phillips 66 and Mill City

This region was visited Sat
urday night by high winds
which caused considerable da
mage. There was a power out
age of some eight hours when
a gust of wind blew a tree
through the power line just
west of Mill City.
At the Ralph Budlong home
their camper was tipped over.
When it turned over, it pushed
a piece of plywood into the
house with such force that it
cracked the plaster of one wall.
At another home, a step lad
der was blown off a back
pirch, and deposited on top of
a hedge. Dave Hiebert said a
big fir tree near his place was
toppled over into the Santiam.
He also reported that two deer
were seen swimming in the
river near his place. They
made it to shore all right. He
thought they possibly had been
chased into the water by dogs.
Some roofs were damaged
and chimneys blown down.
This was a bad blow, but noth
ing like the Columbus day
windstorm.
