Mill City ON THE SCENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY—OREGON’S FAST GROWING VACATION WONDERLAND VOLUME xxvn NUMBER 5 THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE—Mil J, CITY, OREGON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1972 Rewards of Winter Up and Down The Avenue $4.50 a YEAR — 10c a Copy ■= —— —~ I Gus Kirsch, Stayton, Elected Pres, i Of Santiam Memorial Hospital Board; New Doctors Being Contacted Now I Hv Don Moffatt Hooray for Monday. . .YUK! And this Monday forenoon finds it snowing like crazy. Not only here but as far away as Portland. Mostly likely this is a general storm. Maybe it will distribute the snow all over the countryside, so it won’t be too deep at anv one location. Noticed Jerry Pittam out with a hammer Monday morning, knocking the ice from the wheel wells of the mail bus so Jessie Bodeker could go up the mountain with the mail. I’d just as soon be back here in the office where it is at least warm. The thermometer out back of our shop this fore noon stood at 35 degrees, which is better than it has been, so maybe there is some good in the snow storm that is going on outside. We found out from relatives in the Portland area that it was colder there than here, and of course they have that cussed east wind there a lot more than we do here. At least the cold weather did slow the snow melt in the mountains, and that is good news to every one who had flooding troubles during the recent heavy rains.
