Tfc Mill City Enterprise ON T j HE SCENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY — OREGON’S FAST GROWING VACATION WONDERLAND VOLUME XXVI NUMBER 23 Up and Down The Avenue By Don Moffatt I believe this year that stu dents getting out of our high schools and colleges for sum mer vacation, or if they are graduates, are going to find it difficult to find employment. This is going to place an ad ditional burden upon parents of these young people if they plan to go on to institutions of higher learning. It is real bad when a country which is spend ing as much as ours, that there can’t be more job opportuni ties for these young folks. Pos sibly if businesses did no: have to pay so many taxes they could put more into re search and in this manner, possibly develop new products which could keep our factories humming.
