Just 17 More Days Before Christmas To the kiddies it might as well be a month or two, but to the harrassed parents who have been trying to get that shopping done, the time already is much too short—for there is but 17 days left until Christmas. This seventeen days means but fourteen shopping days until the day when the youngsters will need no alarm clock—to arise before the "crack of dawn." Merchants of this area have made considerable effort to buy wisely and in sufficient quantities this year so that people of the area will find no need to travel elsewhere for their shopping. It is noticeable, about the area, how fesstive the spirit has be come how* Christmasy stores do look.

The wreck was disco vert'd by a number of young men who had just completed their shift at the Swan planer. They (including Jack and Roy Johnson) rushed to town to summon the ambu lance and notify authorities. The driver of the car. a young man by name of Green from Coos Bay but employed with the paving crew, and a Mr. Baker, said to be a foreman, and a lady companion were released from the hospital at Crescent City early this week after being treated for bad cuts and shock. The woman was detained longer for observation, but also was released. Green was thrown free of the car which did not ne- gotiate the curve. Baker and the woman had to be freed by use of axes after the seat had wedged them into the car. The car, a new Dodge with but about 6(M)0 miles, is said to be almost a total wreck. 1949 Crescent Dock Was Explained Tuesday To Local Rotarians Vaughn Pyke, of Crescent City who has had much to do with the dock development in that city, told the Rotary club.

"We had built a football field by soiling $5 bonds. A few’ of us figured the same type of fi nancing might work on the pro posed dock. However, events of all types took place too fast. We went to work before we had ob tained the land, before we had approval of the army engineers, and permission to use the land. "When people of the county saw’ that we really meant busi ness, money came in in sizeable bunches, so we have been able, to date to have about half of the proposed dock completed. It is marvelous how ‘the little men’ have come in with a few' dollars and some donated some labor in addition. To date we have almost $15,000 of the proposed $27,000 construction work done.
