Timeus invited three mem bers of the press to attend the special session in which he ques tioned D. A. Bob Miller about certain calls. The commission er had previously made copies of the D.A. 's phone bill to show around. Miller explained that he runs a one-man office and some times finds it necessary to be out of town. When this happens, Miller said,he makes it a prac tice to call his office and/or home to check on pending or new business matters in case something may need his im mediate attention. He added that his office staff makes ev ery effort to separate business and personal calls. Commissioner Ryce Wilson, who was acting chairman of the meeting in the absence of Fell Campbell, was satisfied w ith Miller's explanation but Tim eus refused to allow the bills to be paid. Buck Season Open Saturday Phil Schneider, state game director, advised hunters t h i s week that the buck deer season will open October 7.The season was delayed one week because of extreme fire danger. October 7 has been set as a firm opening date,he said,which is also a traditional weekend opening and in the best interest of all concerned. Book Explains Deer Boning Hunters lucky enough to bring back a deer this season will get the most out of their foray Into the wild by boning out the meat. Andy Landforce, OSU exten sion wildlife specialist, main tains that nearly anybody can bone out a deer. All It takes is a flat surface, a knife, saw or hatchet and the courage to try It.

The Northwest is fortunate that the technology in nuclear generation has pro gressed so rapidly in r e c e n t y e a r s that a fairly low-cost thermal power supply can be available w h e n needed, " he said. "Of course, power, even from the lowest-cost thermal plants, is going to be higher in cost than power from the Columbia river system. Bonneville's role will be to provide the forced outage reserves required of large thermal plants transmission to major load centers so that util ities throughout the area can share in the output of the plants. "Coos-Curry Electric Coop erative along with most pub licly owned systems in the area will need to supply Its load g r o w th from thermal plants whenever Bonneville's base load energy can no longer m eet their growth, " he concluded. Theme of the annual mem bership meeting was "Accent On Youth" and the .iftemoon session was highlighted with talks and a slide presentation by Alan Rap- raeger of Brookings and Mary Lou Turner of Bandon of their "Washington Youth Tour" spon sored by the cooperative. President Kolen discussed the cooperative's interest in youth programs in his address to the membership. He outlined the cooperative's goal as "providing the best possible service for the least possible coast, " and also reported system growth as being good. A plaque, in tribute to coop e r a t i v e president Farrell T. Rankin, who died in July, was presented by Kolen, who said: "On behalf of the board of dir ectors I present this plaque for 12 years of faithful service. He w i l l be sincerely missed and long remembered. " W. A. "Bill" Cook, in making a management report discussed five areas of concern facing the cooperative. "Rising costs, cap ital needs, power supply, devel opment of education of th e membership, and the movement of people from the soil to the city. " He urged members "to sell the all-electric w ay.. . it is only this volume that keeps rates fro m rising.

In discussing the number of people who have moved from rival areas to the cities search ing for employment Cook said, "It is up to us to try to make more job opportunities in rural America. We need to broaden our economic base", he added, citing that 70 per cent of the people live on one per cent of the land. Luncheon lor the all-day session was "on the town" with a 11 restaurants participating, compliments of the cooperative. In a special quiz contest "Know Your Cooperative" first prize, and electric roaster oven, was won by Mrs. Carol Zeigler of Brookings.

Colleges W ill Visit Pacific Dangerous Weapon Assault Charged By Heck Timeus, Bail Set at $500 A warrant charging assault w ith a dangerous weapon was issued for Board of County Com - missioners chairman C. F e l l Campbell last Thursday. The warrant was issued on a com plaint filed by fellow com missioner H.E. Timeus, alleging that Campbell assaulted him with an ash Hay by "striking, beating, and cutting about the head. " Bail was set at $500. An earlier charge filed by Timeus of assault with intent to k i l l was refused by District Court Judge Sam Hall on the grounds that facts substantiating the charge were not sufficient. Attorney John Pickett of Co quille isrepresenting Timeus in the civil aspect of the matter, but said in the criminal aspect he would suppose that consti tuted authorities would proceed in the usual manner. District Attorney Robert Mil ler, however, has indicated that he will decline to prosecute the case against one commissioner charged by another. District J udge Sam Hall said in a letter filed in the first case against Campbell that it ap pears to be discretionary with Miller as to whether or not he will appear on behalf of the state "in such kind of proceed ings.

School Heads Hold Sessions Bright Clothes M ay Save Lite The feasibility of acquiring a list of school bus people from the various school districts was discussed with the ultimate goal o f making this available to drivers of school buses on ath letic trips, field trips,etc. in case of a bus breakdown in another town. Such a list could provide the names, addresses and tele phone numbers of people who would be able to assist in an emergency. Mr.Neugartwas re quested to see if such a list could be compiled.
