WE WISH YOU A
By Don Moffatt
The celebration of Christmas
takes on added meaning each
year—or at least it should.
It reminds us that material
success holds little value if we
neglect the spiritual. The
strongest tie in human endeav­
or is that of the family, and
through this tie we project our
good wishes and feelings to
those around us. How fortun­
ate we would be if all our
families could just make it
home for Christmas. To me
that would be the finest Christ­
mas present of all—just hav­
ing the family home at this
Joyous time of the year.
Of course I feel that we
have put far too much em­
phasis on the tinsel and gifts,
but on the other hand it is fun
to exchange gifts, and to ex­
change cards, personal visits,
and telephone calls. All these
things focus on the main
theme of brotherly love.
It is the time of year when
we mellow to some extent and
look for the good in our fellow
men. We may not agree with
everyone—but that does not
necessarily mean that he is a
bad type of person. We should
learn to be more tolerant of
the other fellow and his point
of view. Of course this is
sometimes hard to do. and as
long as we have differences of
opinion and greed, we will
continue to have wars.
If I had a wish it would be
—try to extend the quality of
the Merry Christmas of Christ­
mas day to the other days of
the year—by looking for posi­
tive ways to further the well­
being of all mankind..
One of our most interesting
Christmas letters each year
comes from old time friends,
Mr. and Mrs. Christ Evanson
of Camas, Washington. We
have known these fine folks
for over 30 years. They always
end their letter with a prayer,
and we would like to share
their prayer with you this
Christmas.
“Let us pray that strength
and courage abundantly be
given to all who work for a
world of reason and under­
standing. That the good that
lies in every man’s heart may
day by day be magnified. That
men will come to see more
clearly not that which divides
them, but that which unites
them. That each hour may
bring us closer to a final vict­
ory, not of nation over nation,
but of man over is own evils
and weaknesses. That the true
spirit of this Christmas season
—its’ joy, its’ beauty, its’ hope
and above all it’s abiding faith
may live among us. That the
blessing of peace be ours—
the peace to build and grow,
to live in harmony and sym­
pathy with others and to plan
for the future with confidence.
God so loved the world that
He gave His only begotten
Son. that whosoever believes
in Him. will not perish, but
shall have everlasting life.’’

At a recent meeting of the
North Santiam Chamber of
Commerce it was voted to con­
tinue tile sponsorship of the
Whitewater Challenge. How­
ever, the Chamber will not
have the Memorial services at
the bridge in Mill City, nor
will it handle the queen con­
test as in the past. Any other
organization in the area can
sponsor this facet of the cele­
bration if they so desire, pro­
viding they take care of the
expenses. Whatever money
they realize from the event
will be theirs.

DETROIT—In a small town
when anything different oc­
curs everyone comes out to
watch. This is just what hap­
pened in the small town of
Detroit Friday. A pickup truck
came down the highway afire
and everyone flocked to the
scene to observe Just as every­
one started home, sure that the
excitement was over, down the
highway came a “crummie”
loaded with men.
Just as the vehicle reached
the spectators, as if by cue,
the dual back wheels of the
crummy sheared off and went
flying and bouncing down the
road. The first one outran the
crummy and bounced high
enough to clear the electric
and telephone lines overhead.
Just then the second dual came
whizzing past, bouncing high­
er than the buildings and sail­
ed into a stand of second
growth trees.
The crummy driven by Carl
Stavang and owned by Park-
ett Logging pulled to a stop
with no one injured. Another
vehicle was dispatched to De­
troit to take the men home.

Committee Hunts Doctors
At a meeting of the Board
of Directors of Santiam Me­
morial hospital held Thursday
night, the nominating com­
mittee presented a list of can­
didates to fill seven spots on
the board. The nominating
committee made up of Jae
Samek, chairman; Hattie ■ Gol-
liet, and Richard Schuetz pre­
sented the following names:
Gates-Mill City—Don Mof­
fatt.
Stayton—George R. Duncan,
Jr., T. G. Freres, Kenneth
Farwell, James Bethell, Rich­
ard Schuetz, Frank Crow, El­
mer Fehlen and Robert D.

Nick Heuberger, Orville Lu-
lay and Eugene Butler. Two
to I k ? elected.
A committee has been
named to search for new doc­
tors for the area. On this com­
mittee from the board are
Richard Duncan, and Mert
Cox, Administrator Gale Chris
tensen, and from the medical
staff, Dr. William A. Moreno,
and Dr. Thomas A. VanVeen.
Several leads are bing follow­
ed at this time, according to
Christensen. Beginning the se­
cond Friday in January, Dr.
VanVeen will be chief of staff,
according to President Duncan.
Utah Crowson of the Stay­
ton Fire Department was pre­
sent to give a report on the
hospital ambulance, which Is
taken care of by the depart­
ment. He stated that a new
ambulance is needed to re­
place the old one. Mertox Cox
has been working with Admin-
trator Christensen seeking the
best buy on a new ambulance
Mr. Crowson stated that he
was not in favor of any van­
type ambulance, as it is not
adequate in this area where
many times four people are
carried over long distances.
He said it was next to impos­
sible to give first aid treat­
ment in a bus-type vehicle,
and that they are not comfort­
able for the patients. Mr. Cox,
who has been working on this
committee will continue to get
bids on different types and
present his findings at an
executive board meeting.
President Duncan reported
that many meetings have been
held in recent weeks, between
the medical staff, the joint
conference committee, and the
executive committee, and that
some of the past communica-
ti n difficulties between the
medical staff and board are
being worked out.
Many Yule Trees
In Detroit Area
DETROIT—There was not
qidte as many peiple In the
area this past week-end search­
ing for Christmas trees. Those
who were here found it pretty
wet tramping around in the
woods. However, their trip
was not in vain.
A spokesman at the Ranger
Station said Monday that a
total of 2,626 Christmas cutting
tree permits had been issued
this year for the cutting of
trees on the Detroit District
Forest. Last years permit yield
of the Willamette National
was 2,033.
The total last year probably
would have been much greater,
except for the heavy snows
that piled into the area in mid­
December.
