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.

The bid submitted by Roy Weideman, now’ building the addition

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

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.

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-

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.

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

may continue scouting in the lo
cal sea scout ship, and that he
was counting on them.
Scarcely a scout in Troop 32

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-

honors given Dave Putnam also
did not include it.

the group of this troop in about
one year. He was also awarded
dx merit badges. Mrs. Edna

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

“miscued” on the type of precip

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
