School District No. 17 found ditself “right back where it started’’ about three years ago— more pupils than rooms to hold them, when the grade school experienced a 69 in crease in registration over the first day last year. More are ex pected to register the Wednesday, too late to get information for this issue of the paper. With many high school boys still working registration of the high school, Tuesday, was three below the opening da> last year, but the enrollment is expected to near 100 mark by the end of the week, or early next.

It is said to be the beginning of a state-wide clamp-down on over-weight loads by log truck ers. Not since 1938 has such drastic measures been taken. No definite date for surrender of plates was specified but most in this area were suspended for 10 days from the date turned in. Many operators relinquished their PUC’s to State Police by .Thursday and Friday of last ^eek. This put more than 35 Boucks out of opeartion, affecting about 15 logging operators and the timber supply of many mills in both Coos and Curry counties. Some mills have already shut down for lack of logs and it is said that several may be in short supply by winter because of no hauling at the peak of the sea son. The Bandon weighing station has been opearting from day light to dark every day recently. Before the suspension was or dered the weigh-master requir ed that longs in excess of weight or height limits be dumped at the station which has resulted in quite a pile of logs by the wayside. According to loggers, it is too costly to salvage these. August 25, after the state high- way commission made its ruling, a representative group of truck ers and mill ow’ners met w’ith Commission Chairman, Ben Chan dler, in Coos Bay, to discuss the situation. In the opinion of sev eral of them laws for load lim its based on scale instead of weight would be more satisfac tory and easier to judge when loading trucks. It is known that a truck has to carry right up to the load limit in order to pay. Chandler, while in terested in the views expressed, made it plain that the highway commission’s duty is to enforce the Inv’q in e^Tect.

THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 7. 1950 PISTOL RIVER FIRE THREATENS TO DESTROY MILL AND HALL, SUNDAY PISTOL RIVER From the burning of slabs at the sawmill, south of the bridge, Sunday afternoon, started what was considered for a time to be one of the worst fires of the county’s history. A strong north wind, coming up quite suddenly, whipped the flames and spread the sparks over quite an area of dry grass and pine and spruce needles. Fire patrol men and equipment were rushed to the scene in an attempt to stop the blaze before it reached any mercantable timber. Fortunately, the mill and the newly- | constructed community hall were untouched, although threatened. -------------------------- Fire-fighting equipment, due C& _| • £ I snndy S°H and rough ter- “Do foreign missions pay?" □ tuds Dump Chiefs! rain, could not be moved to the asked Leo VanDolson, pastor of spot to stop burning, and the the local Seventh-Day Adventist spotty nature of the fire only church, Tuesday as he was prin Cheney Studs, conquerors of added to the confusion. cipal speaker at Rotary lunch Brookings Pelicans, Sunday, on Motorists W’ere stopped by the eon, “The best answer is to ask i Labor Day, behind the one-hit fire fighters and told that they any of the 200-odd American I pitching of Joe Chez, ace Stan- must proceed at their own risk. aviators, who were saved by a 1 ford University pitcher, and ex At that time the Hames were few of the Fuzzie Wuzzies of the Medford High player, shut out close to highway. south sea islands, who came to the Roseburg Chiefs, 5 to 0. at learn Christianity through the Central Point. foreign misisons sent there by This win gave the play-off tro the Adventists in the past. phy to the Studs, as well as the Totals .................... ..235 304 “To give you an idea of how regular Southern Oregon League Schools Show Steady Growth hard it was to educate these championship.
