Mill City Enterprise
NUMBER 18
Up and Down
The Avenue
By Don Moffatt
We hear so much these days
about air pollution that some
times I think it is ridiculous,
but I suppose there is some
merit to the problem, especial
ly in the larger cities. I can
see where burning of huge
piles of trash in Portland, or
even Salem, would cause some
trouble—but in towns like
Stayton, or Mill City, and the
other towns in the Canyon, I
just can’t buy it. Certainly it
is more sensible to do a little
backyard burning than to try
to bury everything, and event
ually have garbage up to our
necks.
