The <««¿11 City Enterprise ON THE SCENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY — OREGON'S FAST GROWING VACATION WONDERLAND VOLUME XXV NUMBER 18 THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE—MILL CITY, OREGON Up and Down; Snow Hits The Avenue ; Area Over Weekend By Don Moffatt Individualization Stressed At "Open House" Programs I Parade, Program | I have been quite interested in all the publicity given to Earth Day, and I feel that the movement is good. The only thing I have against a concert ed drive with a l:t of ballyhoo, is that when it cools, and it usually does, people will drift right back into their wayward ness in disposal of litter. It is a lot like revival meetings. A lot of people come forward, all in good faith, but when the pressure is ff, they forget. Let us hope that this will not be the case for this worthy cause. Many people put forth a lot of effort in talking about our ecology. We need to be made aware of the mess we are in and we must d j some thing about it. It is going to be a costly thing, this clean ing up our mess, but if we wish to preserve our country, it will be necessary to put some money where our mouths are. It is a simple thing to say we’ll do it—but s mething else to carry the program for ward. A lot of politicians are mak ing “noise” along these lines, but then we’d better not put too much stock in what they are saying, as they certainly have a lot of ther things to do. Recent drives have proven one point, however, and that is if you put a price on return ing containers, they will be retrieved, or at least many of them will he taken out of our highway ditches. $4.00 a YEAR — 10c a Copy THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1970 I ' A meeting of the Mill City Steering Committee was held on April 2lst to make plans | for the 1970 4th of July parade . and park activities.
