Curry County Will Tax $6,212,370 For Curren Fiscal BROOKINGS, A test of a community at its most exact and best level is how it feels about its children—its growing generation of young cit izens. The beautiful new school for the children of this area is something all may feel so good about. Children and their teachers are proud of the building. How-1 ever, without landscaping it is like a lovely painting without a frame. In a city or larger community, the landscaping could have been added to the budget and passed on to the taxpayer. A professional j landscaping job, if figured in our budget, would have cost between $4500 and $5000, approximately. This could not be considered at this time nor in the forseeable years ahead. But what to do? There must be some other w’ay to accomplish this without further tax burden to the taxpayer—and there is! A group of community-minded citizens approached Warren Smith —chairman of the school board— to discuss this matter and he put this “$64 question” to the Azalea Garden Club. Azalea Garden Club was asked to spearhead a community proj ect of donated man-power, ma chinery and extra community fi nancing to get this job done. The project is already under way with the honor roll of donors growung daily. Mr. Riverman, contractor, has offered $100 toward the project. Elmer Bankus has donated and placed on the school grounds over 200 yards of top soil. More will likely be needed, and it will be forthcoming. Ed Hoar and Floyd Swearingen have offered to use their equipment to scarify the ground and Art Crook has prom ised to move the top soil for this scarifying.

Not that Pete Lesmeister, business manager, is worried about the suit but he would like to have it returned so that it can be cleaned and put away for next season. Chetco Cove To Be Reviewed At New Dote, Soon “A new date, probably be fore 60 days, will be set for the army engineers hearing on Chetco Cove,” Charles H. Grayshel, president of the chamber of commerce, told the Pilot, Tuesday. “There have been many ru mors that the postponed re cent meeting would be held next April. That is not true, for the army engineers as sured me the first of the week that they would call a meet ing within the next couple of months,” Mr. Grayshel con cluded. A meeting, set for Sept. 14, was postponed, Mr. Grayshel told the pilot, when it was evident complete data was not available. That data is now all assembled, and the local people are ready to present their case.

Rogue Fishing Best In Years, Reports Many Fishermen Meeting, Tonight THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1949 Bill Charter Fete For October 29th Newly-organized chapter of SPEBSQSA will hold its charter night October 29. Don’t let that long lino of ini tials worry you. Brookings is not instituting a new* government bu reau to plague the unsuspecting public with a new group of ap parently unrelated letters. Any apprehension caused by the im posing display of all those capi tal letters should be dispelled when it is learned that thev mean Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America, Inc. Formed several years ago by a group of fellow's who believed that the sheer joy of harmoniz ing to some of the good old tunes was being lost to most of us, be cause of the ever-increasing tem po of modern living, the idea be hind the forming of this society has swept the country and it now boasts a membership of over 30,- 000 with chapters in almost every town of any size throughout the United States and Canada. Charter night is an especially exciting event of this organiza tion which believes that each new chapter should be started on the road to success with a big fan fare of music and harmony and that all esstablished chapters of the district should rally ‘round to insure the volume as w’ell as the quality of the harmonizing. To this end the entire Klamath Falls chapter, which is sponsor ing the Brookings group, will be on hand w ith its chorus and quar tets. Quartets from the Eugene, Roseburg, Medford, Ashland and Eureka chapters will also be present- so every song, from “Sweet Adeline,” to “Some En chanted Evening,” will receive their special treatment. Arrangements are being made for sale of tickets to this cele bration so that as many as possi ble may enjoy this Cavalcade of Harmony which is only experienc ed once in the life of each chap ter. As plans are developed, keep watch on the columns of the Pi lot for future details and mark the date now on calender, Oct. 29, Special Clinic Set For School Students Monday, Oct. 10, the State De partment of Education will hold an all-day clinic for vision, hear ing, speech and emotional bal ance. Five individuals under di rection of Vernal Hogue will be present for the entire day, says Lynn Hampton, superintendent. Clinic at Brookings will include the local school as well as those from Carpenterville and Upper Chetco students. Pupils have been scheduled for various appointments during the day and parents are asked to come to the school at the ap pointed time if they desire a con ference with these specialists.
