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.”
