IT SEEMS TO ME BROOKINGS-HARBOR PILOT Entered as second-class matter, at the postoffice at Brookings, Ore., March 7, 1946, under the Act of March 3, 1879. ♦ Nstionsl Advertising Representative SBBVICB. INC. Subscription Rate Per Year, in Curry County, Oregon Per Year, outside Curry County....... J $2.50 $3.00 There are nine measures appearing on the November 7 ballot, carefully, and wisodm put on the execution of the ballot. The first to appear in the amendment, to raise legislators’ pay to $600. Thought should be given to this for an underpaid legis- lator might be tempted to vote certain ways, if expense money is in the offiing for him. The second, an amendment lending state tax credit for higher educatiton buildings deserves thought. Colleges, like secondadry ristricts, have problems of lack of room. No. 3 is the Veterans bill. This should be remembered in the right way by Oregon people. No. 4 is the school support bill. A yes vote is a must if Oregon will keep abreast with other states of the nation. No. 5 is the old age bill. Needy aged people have never been given too much by Oregon in the past. Study this bill carefully. No. 6 is a trickily worded amendment. A yes vote means that we will not go on daylight savings time, and a no vote means we will have daylight saving. What does your conscience say? No. 7 is another veterans bill the bonus bill. This bill, like its sister bill allowing credit to veterans on home purchasing, has a definite place in the state’s obligations. No. 8 is the re-apportionment bill, to re-group the districts of the state, and to allow representation in legislature by virtue of population as it is today. The last one, the Alcohol bill is another tricky one. Why it was worded n the present form the Pilot will never know, but the passage will not get the results the people lighting liquor hope. The Pilot does not wish to take any side in the voting, but it does hope that Pilot readers will vote judiciously Nov. 7. ONE INVESTMENT THAT When It’s Needed WORST -LIFE INSURANCE! EVA LEA LONG P.

People have said to me: “Isn’t $2.40 plenty high for the tickets to the Parade of Quartets?’ It never occurred to me before the’ price for this entertainment, but I am inclined to say it is not out of line for similar enter tainment, one would pay any where else. DEWEY AKERS, Editor and Publisher NBW8PAPBB AaVBBTI&lNC THURSDAY, OCTOBER BROOKINGS-HARBOR PILOT, BROOKINGS, OREGON The Home of Winter Flowers By Dewey Oregon, after a quarter cen tury, had Idaho take her meas ure in football, last Saturday afternoon at Moscow, Idaho, as the feud between the Vandals and the Webfeet flared anew, this time for keeps as far as the Vandals were concerned. Attesting the bitterness with which this game was fought, a glance at the penalties will tell you quite a story. Bitterness in this game reached its zenith, a point quite high for these two schools. Animosity dates back a couple of years ago when the two had quite a battle at Mos cow, and tempers flared up. While listening to the Cali- fornia-U. S. C. game, Saturday, 1 was reminded of another feud which waxed hot for the allotted 60 minutes—and California al most lost to an inspired U. S. C. team which had been anything but pontent before this season. I will wager that Pappy Waldorf put on a few more gray hairs in that short time. What are these feuds doing to college football? I can see, perhaps within a few years, a lot of de-emphasis put upon the sport by all schools all over the nation. In this case football is becoming the tail that is wag ging the dog. Big schools, with their bigger alumni, are buying up the bet ter players through all kinds of schemes — scholarships, grants, and such. Gone are the days ot having the game for the sport which it is. Coaches are in bet ter position than college presi dents to command the salaries. Gone, too, is the incentive for the you to play the game for the sake of the game. It has been told to me by a I - . who claim to number of men know, Notre Dame has begun a • de-emphasis program.
