U. of O. Library' XX mlims-miw filai Nowhere a Finer Climate - Nowhere A Finer Community VOLUME FOUR, NUMBER XXVI. Sea Scouts Guests Of Rotariaas, At River Affair, Tues. Pelicans Given Peed For Season Succeses S. S. S. Drifter, Sea Scout ship 232’s vessel, was officially launch ed in the Chetco River, Tuesday noon by the Rotary club, spon sors of the ship. Miss Pauline Hendricks, daughter of club pres ident A. P. Hendricks, did the christening honors. Following formal opening of the club meeting, the ceremony was held when the boat was officially turned over to the scouts. Elmer Parker, skipper, accepted on the part of the boys. Following a lunch of weiners, potato salad and pop, the Rotar ians were taken for a ride around the river mouth. The shaft, which had just been installed, worked loose, and the old fellows had to resort to oars to come back to the starting point. Rotarians from Grants Pass and Santa Barbara were present for the occasion, as well as the bridge pretty well decked with people watching the affair. With the age limit for senior scouting (sea or air scouts) low ered to 14 years, it is expected renewed interest will be manifest by a number of boys who here tofore were not eligible. Splash Made Monday Evening However, the visitors at the river. Tuesday were cheated of the “splash” of launching. A num- ber of Rotarians, headed by the club president, late Monday, had done some work on the boat, and were elevating one end so the boat could be pushed into the water. The boat was “elevated” too much, and went in on its own doings. Hendricks is sporting a skinned shin and other bruises when he couldn’t clear his feet from the anchor rope. Vaughans Injured In Auto Collision Mrs. K. D. Vaughan suffered a broken arm and others in the car varying degrees of cuts and bruises, Tuesday afternoon, when the Vaughans, with their house guests were returning from Cres cent City. Just as the Vaughans were leaving the redwoods near Fort Dick, they met a lumber truck. A car, following this truck, turn ed out to pass, hitting the car of the Vaughans, head-on. Their car was badly demolished. NOTICE The Veterans of Foreign Wars "ill hold a pot luck picnic, Sun day, Aug. 28, at 1 p. m. on the I ^outh Bank of the Chetco, at the DeMartin Bar.
