Up and Down
Committee To
The Avenue
By Don Moffatt
It seems that the years roll
around real quickly. Here it is
almost October, and next week
is National Newspaper Week.
So what, you say? There is a
lot to be said about the free
press of our country, and I’ll
dig a little deeper into that
next week.
I guess the wife and I had
better stay home. We took a
nine-day trip into Canada earl
ier in the year, and guest what,
it rained and rained for five
of the nine we were gone.
This past weekend, we sort
of got fed up with things
around the shop so took our
trailer and headed for the
coast. Know what? It rained
almost all the time we were
gone. So now, Monday comes
pretty good. Oh well, we did
get some rest and that is what
we went there for. The Spout
ing Horn at Depoe Bay was
working and that is always in
teresting, so all was not lost.
We visited our favorite spots,
and got filled up on good sea
food, so what’s the use of com
plaining too much.
I see now where the Auto
workers, who are on strike,
say they want an automatic
retirement plan for all those
who have had 30 years in their
line of work. Not only that,
they want $500 to $550 a
month. That would mean a
man who started at the age of
.18, could retire at the age of
48. Now who in the world, ex
cept a real lazy person, would
want to knock off work per
manently at that age. Many
people reach the age of 60
and still do not want to be
put on the shelf. I for one
would go nuts if all I had to
do was get up in the morning,
eat, read the paper, then take
care of the yard, and sit, sit, sit!
Not only that, I think I’d drive
my wife nuts at the same time
—being as restless as I am.
Some of these days, though,
if I don’t kick the bucket first,
I’m going to take a crack at
laying around—at least part-
time. I have a lot of things to
do, and a lot of places to visit.
Of course, if a person had a
lot cf money and could travel
a lot, it would make a big
difference too. If I had a big
fat pension, like that being
asked for by the auto workers,
it would help too. Remember
this, these union demands
come right out of YOUR pock
et, in higher prices for your
automobiles. Someone has to
pay, and I don’t believe that
the auto makers are going to
absorb this expense. After all,
they are not in the business
for their health.
Now that the clubs and
lodges are beginning to meet
for the fall and winter, how
about getting up out of the
easy chair and come to the
meetings. The North Santiam
Chamber of Commerce could
do with a little more interest
in their meetings. The club
president. Harold Wiltse of
Mehama, is trying to do some
thing with the Chamber for
the good of the whole area—
but it is hard to accomplish
much if members do not turn
out and express their want3,
and help provide some pro
jects to work on. The Cham
ber has tried noon meetings,
and then there is a clamor
from some areas that they can't
make it—so a night meeting is
tried, and these areas are still
not represented. What to do!!
Looks as if everyone is willing
to sit back and let a few do the
work which should be done by
many. Think it over — the
North Santiam Chamber of
Commerce has accomplished
many things since it was or
ganized. so why don’t you do
something to help out.

THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE—MILL CITY, OREGON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1970
Pick Officers
The Santiam Boosters Club
met Friday after the Gervais-
Santiam Football game with
only a few attending.
Highlights of the game were
discussed and how the team is
improving.
A nominating committee was
appointed to select officers for
the year. They are Clare Hen-
ness, chairman; Mr. and Mrs.
John DeMain and George Long.
It is hoped the committee will
have a list turned in to the
president, Rex Davis, by Oc
tober 9, so the election of of
ficers can be held on that date.
Davis said he hoped to see
more Red Jackets at the JFK-
Santiam game Friday than
were in evidence at the last
game.
