S u b s e q u e n t Insertions: Two cents per word or 50 VEINS February Economy Slowed Down By Extreme Weather Conditions People as a whole appear to be very forgetful; take fo r In­ stance that firs t snowfall that occurred a week p rio r to the really BIG snow storm which created such havoc lo ca lly; my car was snowbound fo r six whole days. My description of that firs t snowfall when apparently not one single flake of the white stuff descended west of High­ way 101 S but plastered the h ills heavily to the east of the highway, was truthful in every detail; however, due to a misunderstanding concerning tlie filin g of my copy in ad­ vance of publication which oc­ curred between ye editor and this scribe, the a rticle re­ garding that firs t snowfall ap­ peared in p rint a week o r more after the big snows blanketed both Coos and C urry counties. So, naturally, the readers of this column-having forgotten that fir s t snow, imagined that I had reference to the “ big event” . In other words, re­ calling to memory that old song entitled: “ Everybody Was Out Of Step But J im ,” it appears that in the case of the two snow storm s, and which I dweltupon, that it really proved to be that everybody was out of step but Lans, and which I must admit, was indeed a very rare occur­ ence, to state the least. What really occurred was that the readers became confused re­ garding the two snowfalls; they apparently entirely forgot the firs t one—who can blame’ em fo r doing so— ? and con­ centrated upon the BIG and dis­ astrous one which occurred the week following the one I wrote about. properly. Sorry to take up so much space in order to c la rify tlie m atter in question, but con­ sidered doing so, a matter of self defense-even one of self preservation on my p a rt-fo r who knows but that some reader believing me to be really off my rocker, due to his mis­ interpretation of the subject, might feel it his duty to summon a squad of those white suited guys equipped with big butter­ fly nets, in order to take me out of circulation. . .believing me really to be completely and entirely off my rocker. So now let there be peace between our houses, fellow sportsmen and readers in general. A BREAK FOR THE STEELHEAD There’ s not an existing doubt whatsoever, that the escapageof steelhead in all coastal streams during the winter months, in­ volving their migration up­ stream to th e ir spawning grounds, w ill prove of a very beneficial nature to tlie future propagation of such fish-an in­ creased propagation conducted on a large scale, and due to their upstream migration being of a steady, and at tim es, of an interrupted nature due to the inability of anglers to register catches during such migrations and further due to the adverse water conditions that fo r days at a time prevented the taking of the steelies, by anglers in general. It really proved to be a break fo r the garney fight­ ing, silve r scaled w a rrio rs from tlie waters of the Pacific. More power to them!.. .and may they propagate to untold num­ bers during their spring mi­ gration back to the salty waters from whence they came. “ Bad weather conditions, due to the heavy snowfall, generally contributed to an extremely slow start economically In Feb­ ruary fo r the South Coast Area,” reports Edward J.K on- ka, manager of the Coos Bay office of the State Department of Employment. “ Tlie overall economic and employment situation Improved until fa irly satisfactory levels were reached at tlie month's end,” he continued.
