NIEMANN ATTENDS
JUSTICE MEETING
Justice .Arthur F. Niemann re
ports a very worthwhile and in
formative state-wide m eeting in
Tillam ook last week. Thomas
Swanton of Coos Bay was e le c -
t e d president of the Justice of
t h e Peace .Association for the
State of Oregon.
Two Admit
Tool Theft
Two Gold Beach men have
a d m i t t e d to taking between
$2,000 to $3,000 worth of tools
from the Grosbeck and Durbin
Contractors operation on t h e
Soutn Bank Road, some 19 miles
up Rogue River, according to
the Curry county sneriff's office.
The two are also charged with
t h e t h e f t of a "short logger"
truck from the Brownie Coldiron
Logging Co.
Bail of $3, 000 each was set
for Collins O' Neil, 18, and Arthur
Cobb, 20, and they were bound
over to tne grand jury by Dist
rict Court Judge Sam Hall.
The tools were recovered at
the tim e of the arrest at Nesika
Beach Thursday. The log truck,
discovered hidden back in the
brush up Rogue River, had been
extensively damaged with an
iron bar before it was abandoned.
The windshield and lights had
been broken and the cab and
fenders smashed i a

Starr, for the Business and Pro

liams, for the chamber of com
merce.
In addition to a brief from
the chamber, McWilliams also
entered as supporting exhibits
photographs of a Coast Guard
boat rescue and a harbor full of
fishing boats, several clippings
from the Port cJrford News con
cerning port activities and re
action to announcement of the
intent to close the lifeboat sta
t i o n in the form of published
statements by local people. /An
editorial that appeared in the
News last April was also pre
sented by George Hahn.
In a personal statement, Cur
ry county sheriff Bill Gauntlet!
noted that his office has relied
on assistance from the lifeboat
station in land rescues on recent
occasions and that Coast Guard
patrols on the Rogue River have
been a major factor in the pre
vention of l i v e s and property
losses.
Carl Back, State Representa
tive, appearing as a private c it
izen, noted that Curry county
h a d recently been the fastest
growing county in the state, that
progress is continuing here and
Coast Guard services are further
required because of the port's
potential and future.
The Coast Guard saved me
from possible disaster recently,
said EX. Chester Boots, and pos
sible the lives of the three peo
ple on my new boat. He explain
ed that he had developed engine
trouble in the vicinity of Fish
Rock. His anchor wouldn't hold
because of deep water, making
his situation d r a s t i c But the
C o a s t Guard responded to his
call and rescued the boat about
SO f e e t before it would have
crashed against the rocks.
Adolph Windmaiser, Ameri
can Legion Commander, noted
that the Coast Guard had been
v e r y helpful in assisting with
local fire protection, even quel
ling one fire by themselves. He
also cited their help in provid
i n g a bugler, color guard and
rifle squad for various observ
ances.
Charles Haines said the Coast
Guard has becom e an institution
here, a friendly beacon to fish
ermen, sportsmen and others. To
lose it would be both a physical
and emotional loss. The poten-
t i a l here is undetermined but
extensive, we need the Coast
Guard.
Answering a question by Pat
Starr, C a p t Carlson said that
plans call for maintaining the
boathouse, boat and fuel storage
as a standby u n it and the re
maining property would revert
to the state for use as a park.
Lawrence M iller was told that
money was not the prime reason
f o r discontinuing the station,
but that it was to put a station
where it would do the most peo
ple the most good
Orris Smith, com m ercial fish
erman, said he was fam iliar w ith
both Bandon and Port Orford and
that because of physical char
acteristics, it would be better
to leave the station her and put
a standby lifeboat at Bandon,
where you can't even get across
the bar about nine months out
of the year. Smith also cited
comparative rescue cases at the
two locations that pointed out
his reasoning.
Port Orford has now been heard.
Presentations at the hearing w ill
next be evaluated by C o a s t
Guard Headquarters in Washing
ton, EL C.
However, we should continue
to be heard, M cW illiam s said,
rather than sit back and wait. He
u r g e d that residents keep the
fires going by writing their con
gressman and urging their sup
port in keeping the lifeboat sta
tion activated. The more fuel,
the bigger the fire, he said.

said nothing was definate yet
but a minimum proposal wouli
