Congressman Robert B. Duncan
(D -O re ) this Monday announc­
ed hb intention to file for the
Democratic nomination for re-
election to the House of Repre­
sentatives from the Fourth Con­
gressional District of Oregon.
" I intend to campaign on the

fecting residents of the Fourth

At his meeting h e r e with
constituents M o n d a y, Duncan
pledged continued pressure to

freshmen m em ben of Congress.
He is the only Oregon Congress­
man everto serve simultaneous­
ly on the Interior and Insular A f­
fairs Com m ittee and the Agri­
culture Comm ittee.
"One cannot overestimate the
value of seniority on Congres­
sional Committees. A change of
com m ittee, l i k e a change of
Congressman, results in a loss of
seniority. On both Agriculture
and Interior my seniority ranks
all other freshman members, "
Duncan explained.
"M y main emphasis during
these past two years has been to
work as effectively as possible
to promote all legislation which
w ill Improve the economic,pol­
itic a l and moral w ell-b ein g oi

Duncan is one calling for es­
tablishment of the Oregon Dunes
National Seashore and another
providing for increased oenefits
to veterans.
It was also decided that the
chamber contact the State Park
Commission asking that more
s ig n s designating campsites,
boat ramps, etc., be erected «md
that various trees and shrubs in
those, and other, areas also be
designated by signs.

nation and a motion to appoint
alderman idoyd Bates to f i l l
Cribble's unexpired term fol­
lowed In rapid succession, and
were approved in order. Bates
had been serving as acting m ay­
or during Cribble's absence from
the city.
Frank St. C la ir won the unan­
imous vote for alderman to re­
place Bates. Two other names,
Don Stole and W alt Covington,
had been suggested. Both posi­
tions w ill be up for election in
November.
Plana for another sewer hear­
ing, floridation of city water and
a stop light at the school were
other mein items of business.
The city w ill hold another
public hearing on the «ewer but
a date w ill have to be deter­
mined; ointly by the city and its
engineer. The council said that
more detailed information con­
cerning assessments and hook-up
plans should be presented and
discussed with the vo tes before
asking them to pass a general
obligation bond issue for con­
struction of the «ewes.
The city agreed to look Into
a suggestion f r o m the State
Board of Health for the flo u ri-
dation o i city water, by asking
for literature on advantage« and
coat of flour!de and any special
equipment.
A request from the PTA ask­
ing the city to approve a stop
light at the grade school cros­
sing was granted. The stop light
w o u ld be an overhead push

to a id small cities on streets
that receive excessive traffic.
A request that the city par­
ticipate with police departments
in Gold Beach, Brookings and
the sheriffs office for the in­
stallation of a police teletype
