Information Sought About Locality
In the last three weeks, the Pilot has had numerous inquiries
cencerning opportunities in this section of Oregon, for: (1) dairy
farms; (2)stock ranches and (3) homesites. 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.

IT SEEMS TO ME
This admiration also goes for
Rip and Swede Gardner and Rol- J
Un Crump and any others whof
। took risks in an effort to locate
and save the lad.
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.

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.
I wish to take this opport un-
ity of telling not only the Pilot
readers, but as many people as
the Pilot can reach, how glad
