BRUINS TAKE 3 GAMES FROM LANGLOIS, FRI. ------- Substitutions Didn’t Slow Down Scoring Spree in Last Game Making certain.that all oppon-1 ents will be treated with equal ‘courtesy” the Bruins went an-j other step nearer their second county championship Friday eve-, ring by taking three from the visiting Langlois teams, by deci sive scores. Volleyball Game Walk-away Langlois girls knew from the first few seconds of the game! that they could not cope with the Brookings lassies, who lead 23! to 5 at the half and coasted to an easy 39 to 12 win. Apparently the local girls did not put much effort into running up a score. Leta Hassett, with 14 points, led the scoring for Brookings. In second place was Patty Braun! with six, and Lois Ann and Cora| Mae Miller with four each. Second Battle Close At First With no luck at hitting the hoop, the Bruin B squad had real opposition in the first half of the game, Friday, and were glad to settle for a 2-point margin at the half-time wrhen the score stood 12 to 10. However, a little “en couragement” from Coach Guth- ue between halves did winders for the lads who came out with vengeance the second half. So determined were the locals that they simply shut out the Lang lois team the third quarter while chalking up ten points, to lead 22 to 10 at the three-quarter per iod. The fourth quarter was still a little lopsided when the game ended with a 31 to 15 score in favor of Brookings. GOLD BEACH—Death took A. H. Boice, for 12 years county judge, Monday about 1:30 p. m. shortly after he had finished his lunch. Death, it is said, resulted from a heart attack, one of many in the past few months.

Helen Ethel, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Payne of Harbor, became the bride of John Arlandson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Arlandson of Coos Bay, or last Monday evening at a beautiful church wedding at the Baptist Community church, with Rev*. Nick Neufeld officiating. A reception was held immediately following at the Chetco Grange. Mrs. Emil Edw’ardson presided at the piano, with Mrs. Bernadine Steele and Miss Ruth Hassett singing “I Love You Truly” and “Always.” The bride, given in marriage by her father, w’ore the tradition al white satin dress and finger- 'DICK' NEWMAN AWARDED EAGLE BADGE, MONDAY Was Seventh From Troop 32 To Be Give Coveted Honors At ceremonies appropriate for the occasion, Monday, Richard Newman became the seventh boy to receive the Eagle Scout award in the past year. LaVeme Men denhall, the first to receive this coveted honor in the county, re ceived his just about a year ago. Last fall, five more boys were elevated to that coveted rank, when Bill and Bob Shipley, Jim my Lytle, Jimmy Vincent and Rbnald Akers completed their re quired work and were awarded their pins. Richard Newman became a member of Troop 32 about two years ago, and at the last court of honor, when the five received their Eagle badges, he was given his life scout pin. Richard has taken scouting ac- tivities seriously. He enjoyed the work so much that he kept con stantly at it regardless of any other duty. He often could be seen going hikikng. camping or any of a number of scout activ ities, and oftentimes alone. Son of Mrs. Edna Newman, who• was a special guest Monday eve ning.

Hec nephew, Donad Essley, was flow er nephew*, Donald Essley, was dow er boy. Her sister, Miss Ina Payne, was maid-of-honor, and the brides maids were her cousins, Miss Lois Ann Miller and Miss Jacqueline Payne. They wore pastel frocks and carried nosegays of white chrysanthemums. Raymond Reekman, cousin of the bride, was best man; ushers were Doyle Rausch and Gene Reiling. A reception was held after wards at the Grange hall where photographs of the wedding par ty were taken. After the bride and groom cut the first piece of wedding cake, the serving was continued by Mrs. Carl AHand- son and Mrs. Herbert Payne, as sisted by several others. Dancirg was enjoyed to a late hour, al ter which Mr. and Mrs. Arland son left for a few days trip into California. After Jan. 25, they will be at home at Gold Beach where the groom is employed by the Stan dard Oil Co. The bride was born in Harbor where she has lived her entire life, being a member of the giad- uating class of 1947 of Brookings High School.. She attended the Southern Oregon College of Ed- uaction at Ashland the next fall, and it was while there she met her husband. Parents of the bride wish to especially thank Mrs. Cliff Lind- skoug and Mrs. Arthur Pierce who planned the wedding and arrang ed the decorations at both the church and hall, and who gave so much of their time and labor in making both occasions perfect in all ways. Interest in Scout Program Was Given Impetus By Affair Spaghetti and ice cream were plentiful, with fellowship among parents and scouts at its high est, Monday evening, at the first Scout-Parents banquet, when a court of honor climaxed the fes tivities. held at the Odd Fellows hall. Cooking of this spaghetti was donated by Mr. and Mrs, Charles Grayshel. Served by the senior group oi Girl Scouts, who also wanted to see what they may look for ward to as their blessings, almost 80 people added impetus to the scouting movement in Brookings. Scoutmaster John Ginther read a letter telling of the good for- t u n e of Jimmy Vincent to be named representative of Region XI to Boy Scout Week festivities early in February at the national capital. Sea Scout Skipper Elmer Par ker urged the boys who reach 15 shortly to remember that they may continue scouting in the lo cal sea scout ship, and that he was counting on them. Scarcely a scout in Troop 32 missed out on some advancement at the Court of Honor under di rection of Dave Putnam, regional Boy Scout director. Raymond Murray was given his tenderfoot pin; second class pins went to Richard Campbell, Howard Mor ris, Ronald and Roger Snyder. Earl Parker, Demas Horn and I Toward Morris were elevated to first class rank. George Berger and Bruce Yel- ton were awarded Star scout badges, having won five merit badges over first class. Clark Schley, with eight merit badge awards that evening, also received his Life scout pin. Five Eagle scouts, Jimmy Lytle, Jimmy Vincent, Bill and Bob Ship- ley and Ronald Akers were given bronze palms for five merit badg es above Eagle Scout rank. The bronze palm for Lytle was delayed somewhere along the line, and was not given publicity last week in the announcement of this scout affair. The honor ar rived this week, and the list of honors given Dave Putnam also did not include it. The finale of the evening was the awarding of the Eagle rank to Richard Newman, seventh in the group of this troop in about one year. He was also awarded dx merit badges. Mrs. Edna Newman, his mother, was guest of honor at the affair. Hightway 101 Takes You To""Climate" Some publicity which might be splendid for Brookings Chamber of Commerce to use, appeared in Wednesday's Oregonian, showing the snow in sunny southern Cali fornia, where the weather man “miscued” on the type of precip itation which fell. Since the beginning of this re cent cold spell, Brookings area is warmer than any other part of Oregon, all of Washington — and hotter than California. And to aid people looking for that warmer climate, any high way map shows U. S. Highway No. 101, which follows the coast line, through Oregon.
