In each case money was enclosed to pay for a year’s subscription to the Pilot, that these prospective buyers might follow the trend of things in this county and section of the state. These inquiries have come from central Oregon for the most part. This community now has a chance to shine in a manner which will attract the right kind of investments. The Pilot hopes to be able, through its columns, to convince these people. Curry County Come Out Of Darkness * olate, glucose, apples, grapes, bananas, raisins and carrot.

Kilgallen, INS cor respondent, writing from Ar gentina says, “After the war South Americans went on a buying spree. They rushed into the market and bought all sorts of goods. Then they ran out of money.” James did not have to go to South America to get material for that story. According to the Obrana Lidu, a Czech by the name of Slama went to work at 0700. By 0930 he was going at the rate of 250 per cent of his daily quota. At 1130 he was speeding along at the rate of 300 per cent and at 1600 he hit 550 per cent. There after he rushed out into the county and lent a hand w’ith a volunteer harvest b rigad e. Among the Czechs this what is known as a grand slama.

Weather men report that the I summer, 1949, ended on Friday, । Sept. 22, at 1:08 o’clock a. m., 1 Pacific standard time, as it was at that moment the sun was di rectly over the equator. The re port further predicts that the sun will now travel south but shall re- turn to a pisition directly over the equator, again, on March 21, 1950. Imagine our astonish ment if the weather men are wrong in this forecast.

While it’s a bit early to make many statements about Pacific Coast Conference football as it matches that from other sections, Unversity of Washington’s humbling defeat at the hands of Uni versity of Minnesota does not give much boost to the coast’s stock University of Washington, in the opinion of this writer, long has been a poor example of coast football, yet that school craves the spot light by staging early games intersectionally. Notre Dame will slaughter the Huskies when that game time rolls around. For a school as large as Washington, its football stock never has been too high since Gilmore Dobie left for Cornell about 1916. True, Washington has had a few good teams in the intervening THAT'S RIGHT . . . A Portland.

It naturally, then, goes back ! to the parents, and the supervi- sion of the children. Cruel as this may sound, this tragedy and the one that happened just a few short weeks ago, can be laid directly on the parents. This re mark is not being made to hurt any feelings or to point an ac cusing finger at any parent di rectly. However, I hope that the parents will sooner or later wake up to this fact. Sheriff R. G. Sabin was in this area, Sunday, to assist with the rescue of Jimmy Carr. By Dewey Two drowning tragedies of the last few months should warn parents that they should be more alert to doing of their children, at all times. In both these trag edies, had adults been handy, the story might have been quite dif ferent. Children must be made to realize the hazards of watei unless they are taught to swim or to have swimmers present. The Pilot is making no attempt to preach a sermon, but from a newspaper man’s standpoint, it is certainly not pleasant to re- port such affairs. Both children drowned were young, were new to water surroundings and of the pent-up power of water. In both these instances I have noted the dozens of willing peo ple who braved the elements in rescue efforts. It is a human trait to want to save a life, but these same people would much prefer to do their life-saving by meth ods much differently—it would be much more fun to teach the lit tle youngsters to swim. Tragedies such as the one last Sunday, and of the little girl a few months ago, have come to children who little realized the dangers they were courting by going near the water without any knowledge of swimming. Parents of such children should sooner or later become aware and warn ; their children. It certainly would save plenty of heartaches. Ttow^iKnow! The answers to everyday Insurance Problems* By Pete Lesmeister Question: My husband's firm is temporarily transferring him to another community to assist in opening a new branch office. We plan to be away for sev eral months and will close our home here during our absence. Should be notify our insur ance company that our house will be unoccupied? Answer: By all means! You must always inform your in surance company of any de viation from the conditions un der which a property w as orig inally insured. The dange of fire damage is higher in an un occupied property os tha in surance rate is also a little higher but if you plan an ab sence of several months, you should pay the slight addition al premium and make certain of your protection against loss. •If you’Tl address your own insurance questions to this of fice, we’ll try to give you the correct answers and there’ll be no charge or oblibation of any kind.
