The annual school picnic was held at the school Tuesday, at noon, with parents attending, Cof fee, ice cream, and pop were serv ed by the Parents-Teachers As sociation. Due to rain, the baseball game, with Crescent City, was cancelled. A musical program was furnished by the primary grades, directed by Mrs. Lloyd Morris, and ac companied by Mrs. Bernadine Steel. Some of these numbers had been planned for the Azalea Fes tival, but were forced out when the program was held at the theatre instead of park, as had been planned. Pie Feed Popular The annual pie feed, staged at the high school last Friday eve- ning for benefit of the baseball fund did not attract as many as had been hoped, but its popular- ity was certainly established. A skit, staged by high school boys, and motion pictures made up the entertainment.

Weather Report Thursday, June 2, 1949 Chamber Meeting Attracts Small Crowd, Tuesday At the May meeting of Brook ings chamber of commerce, Tues day evening, only a small group responded to call, partly due to the holiday. Merle Hanscam and Bob Swan were announced as the new directors, by Pres. Charles Grayshel. Members of Azalea Garden club who were responsible for success of the flower show and art ex hibit were guests and were in troduced. They included Mrs. Fay Hardesty Mrs. Bradley Page, Mrs. Roy Weideman, Mrs. Guy Rice, who spoke for two absent mem bers, Mrs. Dorothy Lockland and Mrs. Alice Perkins. Georgt* Funk told the group of the interest at Oakland Flower show’ for the forthcoming lily festival, and also told of the com mittee appointments made at a recent meeting. Since other towns, to adver tise their events, stage some sort of plan such as whiskers, etc., it was suggested that each resident of this area wear a lily in his coat lapel. Results of the entertainment of members of the highway com mission on a recent trip through this section, were pointed out by Pres. Grayshel. Survey work is completed and w^ork soon will start on recall ignment of road to the bridge. With Gold Beach consenting, it was announced that the joint road sign at Crescent City may be dis continued. In its place an illum inated sign may be erected by the highway commission. Plans are being made to include dedication of the Joseph Loeb myrtlewood park with Lily Blos som Time activities. Mrs. Rico, president of Azalea Garden club reported on this matter. Elmer Parker, of Parkers An- chorage, appointed on the' rivers committee by the chamber, told of the value a jetty would prove to th(' mouth of the Chetco in re storing it to a salmon stream it once boasted. He also told of the commercial angle possible by a wider and free-to-boats mouth. A caravan of chamber mem bers will make a trip to Lake view sometime between now and June 15, it was announced by President Grayshel. The date de pends largely on a date set by the Lakeview group. Realty Transfers Mr. and Mrs. Homer Haggerty, of Haggerty Twinservice, purch ased the new house on Pioneer road from Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Zollman of Klamath Falls. The deal was completed by C. O. Leon ard Real Estate Agency. Local News Items Service club signs, placed at both entrances of Brookings on the highway, by state highway commission, tell of the meeting dates of all local units. These are the samp type es seen en tering any city in Oregon. Mrs. Frances Tolman and her daughter, Mrs. Birdie Lane of Cottage Grove arrived last week for a visit at Mrs. Tolman’s home. Usual routine about the area seems to be out of step, with a holiday causing many to believe Tuesdav was Monday. Noticeable was this especially in attendance of many meetings scheduled the first of the week.
