MORE GROWTH IS IN THE OFFING
A glance at the files of the Pilot reveals to the person reading
•them a steady, but sure growth of this section since the first is-
sue, March 7, 1946. 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? Want to place odds?

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.
IT SEEMS TO ME

Gold Beach business men who
for a Rotary

club lor that
most pleasant surprise ► in store
for them, once the club begins
to function. Rotary is an ad-
venture in service, in fellowship,
in those better things of life, a
better understanding of peoples
of the world. These men will also
find that the world will soon be
“more” aware of Gold Beach —
visitors will seek that place as
they have sought Brookings the

there* is no other organization
capable of filling. They will be
thrilled, week after week, to feel
that they are part of a great
movement which is striving dili
gently to have foreign countries
understand us, and that tee wtt-
derstand them.
Rotarians of Brookings and of
District No. T54 will be glad to
welcome Gold Beach to their
midst, and will be on hand in
full force come charter night. A
charter night in Rotary is as gor-
g vous as a wedding could dare
to be. It will be an event none
will ever forget.
Rotary, like an education, does
something to the individual, it

Do You Want A New Home Soon
The answer to the working-man’s prayer is here—a new
home which will meet the finances of the average pocketbook.
Many of you saw, at open house, Sunday, “The Redwood Home
of the Future,” manufactured by White Rock Construction Co.
and were pleased. We havd been made representatives for
this area for these homes. In addition, we are making ar
rangements for the financing of these homes by those whose
initial outlay may be limited. Check with us as soon as you
can and get one of the plans. You might as well pay that
rental money into a home of your own—it’s thrifty.
