CITY ENTERPRISE—MILL CITY, OREGON THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1971 $4.00 a YEAR — 10c a Copy j— Up and Down The Avenue B> Dun Moffatt It seems to be getting mote difficult each year to get people to come out for club meetings. Maybe it’s a change of the times, I just don’t know. I do know this, however, that last Wednesday a North San- tiam Chamber of Commerce meeting had been slated. Not even enough people turned out for a quorum, and it was at this meeirig that the nominat ing committee was to present their slate of officers. So what happened? Nothing! Chris King, who was chair man of the committee did name part of the list of of ficers for the coming year. There will be another meeting, a general membership meeting on Wednesday, July 7 at the Riverview when it is hoped there will be enough members present to get the business at hand taken care of. The com mittee submitted the following officers for .1971-72. They are, Jerry Coffman, president; John Kehls, vice president, and J. C. Kimmel, secretary - treasurer, with Hattie Golliet acting as corresponding secretary. For directors, those nominated to date are Harold Wiltse, out-go ing president, from Mehama; Ed Davis for Mill City and Jim Tedrow from Stayton. Still to be nominated are men from Gates, Idanha and Detroit. Why not try to come out for this next meeting, it is import ant! This Monday morning, as I sit pounding out this column I note by the calendar that it is the first day of summer. Hooray, and the sun is shining. The weather report is not too promising but at least we are making a good start. The only thing bad about the coming of summer, is that now the days will begin to shorten. It is a slow process, but nevertheless it is on the down side to wards another fall and wint er. Let’s hope that we do have some nice days in between before we have to dig out our rain clothing again.

It is interesting to note that our major timber operators in this state are really doing some thing about increasing the growth of timber on their hold ings.
