UHU Newspapers, U ui 0 Library VOLUME XXIV « < » ON THE SCENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY — OREGON’S FAST GROWING VACATION WONDERLAND NUMBER 34 THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE—MILL CITY’, OREGON THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, l‘M>9 Up and Down The Avenue By Don Moffatt I was talking the other day with a friend. He was griping all over the place about some people seemingly had every thing, while others had to be satisfied with just scraping a- long. Occasional griping is a part of human nature, I guess, but wouldn’t it be rough if we sometimes got what we really deserved? For the mast part, life in these United States is pretty good. There are cases of mal nutrition, but this is some times the fault of the people themselves. Some people would be undernourished in a land of plenty just because they don't know how to plan. Schools and colleges will socn be back in full swing, and I suppose with these openings there will be more action by so-called militants. It would appear that these few disgrunt led people are trying to wreck the American system of edu cation. It also seems that this action has set in motion two dangerous trends—the use of violence and an almost instant willingness to violate the law. The pattern has been to base the use of both weapon® on what the militants cite as their ’rights under the Consti tution’ and then, after being countered by authorities, to insist or amnesty; in other words tc be set free and not held responsible for their ac tions. By such actions they are in the process of breaking flown the very American sys tem which is the real hope foi progress toward attainment of whatever reasonable goals are included in their long list of "demands.” Numbers on Houses Here May Change In Training Sunnyside Phone Co.
