BROOKINGS.
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.

arranged. My partner and I’ve

charge of that location.
"I am remodeling the planer
shed so that a 6-foot dock will

mitting people to drive trucks
there for loading. There will al
so be plenty of parkinkg space.
"I will try to have all types

needs really are,” he added.

man were hospitalized Saturday
night shortly after midnight, af
ter their car had left the road
and landed, nose down in* the
ravine directly across the road
from Archie Anderson’s home.
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.

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. Tues-
day noon, how ('rescent City
had gone ahead with the proj-
ect when hope seemed lost, and
how this united effort had re
sulted in help from every source.
"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.

teeth has caused us to got many
