BROOKINGS,
Andersons Return To
Parade of Quartet Old
Home at Baker
Will Be "Event"
Of Oct. 28 and 29
Music, the kind that made the
gay ’90s lots gayer, will be the
treat in store for people of this
area, Saturday and Sunday, Oct.
28 and 29, when a “Parade of
Quartets” will be held by Brook
ing Chapter, 675. SPEBSQSA.
Big name quartets will be here
to pour out “sweet” music as
interpreted by the various quar
tets. Perhaps all the favorites of
n*cre than a half century ago
will be given the modern twist
and tempo.
Among the sought quartets by
the local chapter will be four
from Eugene, one from Forest
Grove, the House Bros, of the
Klamath Falls chapter, and the
possibility of the Queen City
Four, of Seattle, national cham
pions. It still is a question about
the appearance of this famous
group, but the local chapter of
Barbershoppers is trying to find
ways and means to bring the
group.
Master of ceremonies for the
occasion will be Al Pearce, noted
raaio M. C., who had charge of
a like event at Klamath Falls
several months ago. Pearce is
expected to be one of the big
attractions of the event. Tickets
will be put on sale with a week
or ten days, the Pilot was as
sured late last week.

“contrast” that quality of a view

Power Outage
Delays Press Time
Mr. and Mrs. Jens Anderson,
who have lived in this area for
almost three years, left Wednes
day morning for Baker, their
former home, to live. Mr. Nelson,
who' had to leave that high alti
tude because of health, said he
felt much better, and since their
property was at Baker, they felt
obligated to return there.
“If, after I get there, and find
that my old ailment returns, I
believe we will sell, and cer
tainly return to Brookings. I do
want you to send the Pilot.”

Pilot Will Become
County-Wide Paper
Application is being mailed to
the post office department this
week, asking change of name
of “Brookings-Harbor Pilot” to
“Curry County Pilot,” a move
long planned by the management.
Since it inaugural issue, Mar.
1946, the Pilot has gained in cir
culation to a point it has the
greatest coverage in southwest
Oregon, but many of the resi
dents of northern Curry county
prefer that they subscribe to a
county paper, than to one pub
lished for interest of a single
community.
Coming with this announce
ment of name change, is the
announcement that the Pilot, in
conjunction with its Gold Beach
office, the Typo-Print, has com
plete photo-engraving facilities,
enabling this publication to car
ry pictures each week, of those
items which may be enhanced by
pictures.
There were many w’ould-be
hunters in this area at the start
of hunting’seison Saturday who
found that the supply of deer
tags from the state game com
mission hadn’t been received by
the local hunting license dealers.
The tags arrived on the Monday
mail, but that din’t help those
who wanted to go out during the
week-end.
