____________ ON THE SCENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY — OREGON’S FAST GROWING VACATION WONDERLAND
VOLUME XXIV

Maybe this column hasn’t
sparked much enthusiasm in
the old city on cleaning up and
beautifying their places of
abode, but we’ve struck a re
sponsive note in both the Boy
Scout and Cub Scout groups,
and they’ve been busy working
at the job. Now maybe we can
get a little mjre civic pride
instilled into the rest of the
population. We have one indi
vidual here in the city, Otto
Koeneke, who wages a const
ant war on debris all up and
down his street. Too bad we
have so few of his type. You
know that fishing season opens
on the 19th, and we’ll have
thousands of people from the
valley visiting us at this time
Why not pick up the winter
accumulation of junk and put
on a “happy face.”
This clean-up and keeping
things neat is sort of a pet
peeve of mine. Right now I’d
like to serve notice on all and
sundry that they will be re
ported if they are seen dump
ing their automobile rubbish—
that means scrap paper, cigar
ette butts, and paper wrappers
from candy bars, hamburgers,
or any other litter in front of
the office. Think I’m mean?
Possibly, but if your parents
didn’t teach you common man
ners, then someone else is go
ing to. The police will call on
you, as all we need is the num
lier of your vehicle and the
law can easily catch up with
you. The fine, or even the in
convenience of going to court
may make you think twice be
fore you use the street as a
garbage dump. Just this fore
noon, a carload of young peo
ple from Santiam High drove
up in front of the office, eating
as always, and dumped their
paper wrappers onto the
street. They know better, as
one of those in the car throw
ing out the paper is the daugh
ter of a local faculty member.
Shame on you!
This is not likely the way
to gain friends or influence
people, but it certainly might
encourage these people to use
lhe litter cans placed by the
Lions club in strategic places
around town.
If everyone could learn to
pick up after themselves, the
state could save hundreds of
thousands of dollars. It could
even mean better roads, and
possiby a cut in taxes—but
that would be expecting too
much.
Church services are still be
ing held every Sunday—just
like they were when you were
taught to go regularly.
It would appear that we
need better managers, or few
er managers in politics and
government. Many economists
tell us that government fiscal
and monetary measures can
maintain an equilibrium sc
that the country can enjoy per
petual stability and growth.
It would appear there are sev
eral flies in the ointment from
the standpoint of common
sense. Two of the biggest are
the political shenanigans and
tricky devices that apparently
have become standard in reck
oning government financial op
erations.
When the last administration
left office, it was said tax in
come would exceed tax outgo
Immediately, various author
ities point out that part of this
happy situation was merely a
matter of bookkeeping—jug
ging accounts to make the bud
get look good. Now, according
to the latest news, the whole
idea of a budget that repre
sented government living with
in its means was a piece of'
political wishful
thinking.
New budget director Robert P
Mayo warns that higher spend
ing and less than expected tax
revenue is “squeezing” the pro
jected surplus. Unless the
government can learn to man
age its own affairs, how can it
expect to control the whole
economy so as to Insure per
petual stability and growth?
Did you hear about the guy
who had so much fun at his
bachelor party that he post
poned his wedding’
