BROOKINGS HARBOR PILOT. BROOKINGS, OREGON THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1950 Census Work Will Start Here Soon Mrs. Charles Echols, census ^enumerator for C.urry County told the chamber that she want ed helpers to aid her in the work as rapidly as possible. I have a few in the north end of the coun ty, but none here, except prom ise. All these must be trained for this work. “Please admit these people in to your homes. Please answer a’.l questions honestly, and re- member these people are just do ing a job. Census work is in con- f'^ence. None of this information will be revealed to the world. “In order to get the job done in the required time, help me in this work by being as co opera tive as possible,’’ she asked the people. ing a new site for an air strip, Charles Echlos, of the airport committee, reported to the meet ing of the chamber of commerce last Thursday evening. The proposed site, a portion of Harris State Park, would be sufficient, Mr. Echols told the chamber, but the highway de partment would not permit take offs and landings that close to state highways. By moving the runway back some 500 feet, we can get away from this hazard, but this move would mean lots' of excavation of rock, which is an expensive process. However, the committee saidj it was still working on another spot, but could offer no immedi ate hope for an air port. inn nwy uepr.
