Recently, the growth has taken wings, so to bpeak— it has set a pace many can keep abreast. A recent issue, say that we take last weeks as an example. In it was recorded the opening of a new creamery in this vicinity. It goes without saying that dairying should become a popular and profitable industry for that reason. Then, White Rock Construc tion Company announced opening and sale of the “Redwood Home of the Future,” which should be good news to home-owners who just do not have the price to build a home like they might want. Growth of this community has been studentd for months by International Harvevster Company, truck division, and last week announcement was made of the opening soon of an agency foi Curry county, dealing with transportation, principally. Such big companies as this do not establish new agencies in barrent terri tory—that much is a fact. This community, they say, is “right.” Almost without exception, present businesses of the area have either started or are making expansion plans. This has been done or is being done to keep abreast of the demands in the area. People of District No. 17 have a right to rejoice over the an nouncement that the school tax es had been lowered by 9-plus mills from last year. Last spring when the school board submitted the school budget for the dis trict’s discussion, a group told the school board that this could not be done, and practically in ferred that the board was a bunch of liars, that they had been wasteful, etc. It seems that people will not listen to reason on any matter of late. It seems that there is always someone who will oppose and fdr no apparent reason. It certainly should, through that announcement, make a few of the faces quite red. Will there be any public acknowledgment of error?

This week-end brings us an other county fair at Gold Beach. This fair, Pilot readers, is our fair—we should not take the at titude that it is something for eign. Better by far would it be that southern Curry should take the bit in their teeth, literally, and “show” the world that this area can do this or that. Curry County has no other way except through the fair, to show to the world what Curry county is capable of producing or doing. The competition should be keen .—real keen—in a friendly sort of way. There should be people who like to admit winners as well as be one. The fair is noth ing more than a display window. I Let us always treat it as a dis-. Pete Lesmeister, business manager of the Pelicans, even if he play window, and then it tetZZ cannot win over Central Point next Sunday, can look back at a really prosper successsful season for the Pelicans. Winners last year in the Rogue galley league, which folded up, the Pelicans stepped up into fast company in the Southern Oregon League, and gave a creditable account. Pete, the Pilot wishes to jxiint out, bi ought a gioup of fine young athletes to this community, and the community is glad to welcome these felolws as citizens. Made up mostly of youngsters, many not yet 20 years old, the Pelicans can be expected to go even higher next year, unless some of the lads are not grabbed by still faster teams, or enter into professional playing some are just that good. The Pilot, throughout the weeks since the season started, has chronicled the games, and if one wishes to review the season, the story has always been one with which Brookings and Harbor may be justly proud, despite the losses. The Pelicans weie beaten but they never bowed at any time in shame or disgrace. Baseball, such as has been enjoyed here this season, makes for This community has had better relations throughout the much good publicity directed its way because of the Pelicans.
