The World’s Best Climate PAGE EIGHT PIONEER THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1949 BROOKINGS-HARBOR PILOT, BROOKINGS. OREGON TRAILS STOP FOR SCHOOL BUSES! Emil R. Peterson, Historian, Coos-Curry Pioneer Association, R. 1, Box 528, North Bend, Ore. Roland Prairie, on the south fork of the Coquille river, was the pioneer home of the Lehnherr iamily in the late fifties and the early sixties. Fannie Lehn herr Dixon, in the biography of her father, Christian Lehnherr, pioneer, says that their home was a regular stopping place tor judges, attorneys, and otheis in going to and from the county seat twice a year for the regular term of court. Her father always looked forward to this opportunity to visit with well-in formed men from the “outside.” # . The question is: Was the Roland Prairie-Eckley- Sixes River trail one of the main-traveled routes in going from Roseburg, through ( oos county, and down into Curry county in the early days ? I would like to hear from anyone who can shed any light on this subject. Let me hear by letter! M6MMY • til « UI t î U..Î -G» fl STOP lines t SCHOOL BUS LOADING OR.

Confused about Oregon’s new school bus stopping law? This is the way it works, un a two-lane roadway, you must stop w’hen meeting or overtaking a school bus which has halted to load or unload children. On roadw*avs having three or more lanes, you must stop only if you re traveling in the same direction. After having stopped, you must not proceed as long as any children are leaving the bus or crossing the roadway. To assist in holding traffic while children cross the road, all buses aie being equip ped with red stop signal arms as rapidly as possible. You must stop for the bus whether or not the stop arm is displayed. Use of this signal by the bus driver simply indicates the situation requires you to remain stopped. The law applies equally to city streets and rural roads and highways. Sheriff’s Recall Sets Precedent In “West” Portland's recall of Sher iff M. L. Elliott has set a precedent for western coun ties to follow, it seems. by ousting corrupt officers from the payrolls. In retaliation, deposted M. L.

They that trust in their wealth and boast themselves in the mul titude of their riches: none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a sansom for him: that he should still live forever and not see cor ruption. This their way is their folly, yet their posterity approve their sayings." Ps. 49:1,8,13). This is one of God’s great snap shots of humanity.
