W.’ Yhe City ▼ • . i 4 ON THE SCENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY — OREGON'S EAST GROWING VACATION WONDERLAND VOLUME XXIV NUMBER 46 Up and Down The Avenue By Don Moffatt Maybe a guaranteed annual wage is the answer to the pro blem of low-income, or unem ployed persons, but I think that it is the wrong approach. 1 think a human being grows and prospers through the dig nity of work. Rather than give a man money, simply because he exists, let us educate him to personal rewards than can be found in work, then bend every effort toward helping him find and hold a job. A young person raised in an atmosphere of defeat and apa thy, and taught to expect that his every need will be taken care of whether he w^rks or not, stands little chance of developing a strong character. His own natural eagerness to learn and grow and to excell is cut off at the very beginning of his life, and he may never know the thrill of achievement on his own. Any child who is encouraged to earn extra mon ey by picking berries, doing odd jobs, even a paper route, or doing household chores, stands a much better chance of achieving his goals than a child who is taught to do noth ing. How many times do you see parents raking leaves, or do ing other chores around home while their young folks are loafing. Maybe that is part of what is wrong with things in cur country today. If we don’t teach our children to work and understand some of the responsibility of living in a country such as this we are letting them down. We must learn to defend our form of government, and teach them that there are not very many places on the globe today where they even have the right to protest and be heard. They must be taught that marching and destroying pro perty are not an orderly pro cess of law. They should be heard, but only when they speak with respect and dignity. This shouting is not the ans wer. I think many of our young people today are being robbed of their right to be heard by a minority of dissen ters, who possibly really don’t know that they’re talking a- bout. 1 think it is time a lot of grown-ups, especially politi cians and heads of our educa tional systems, from the pri mary grades to our colleges and universities, take a good look at what they are failing to teach, namely, pride in the United States of America, its constitutional government and individual opportunity under our economic system. It may not be a perfect form of gov ernment, but for the present time. I believe it to be the best < n the face of the earth. THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE—MILL CITY.
