It is to be noted that this is an increase of 107 over last year, or 23.7 per cent. Census figures or the last six years show almost a 70 per cent J increase in school population: 557 1950 450 1949 422 1948 370 1947 366 1946 309 1945 Noting the figures, it may be pointed out that the increase over last year is greater than in any one of the proceeding five years. It might be further noted that the age groups from 7 to 13, inclusive, total 312, or an aver age of 44.5 for each age group. By actual figures “eight-year- olds” include 52 and 9-year-olds, 38; with the rest of the age groups ranging from 41 to 48. It might be noted also that this year the problem of increased enrollment was cared for by the renting of the Community church basement to house a combined first and second grade, and by moving one section of the seventh grade to the high school build ing. Inasmuch as this year’s 8th grade includes only one section, and next year’s eighth grade will include two sections, it will not be possible to house any seventh graders in the high school. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1950 Gift of expensive saddle last Thursday surprised him until he almost ‘'lost his speech” knew’ of Rev. Mumbower’s love of horesback riding, and coveted his Palimino mare. Kept at Bradley Page farm, this horse gets her regular work outs from there. One day Rev. Mumbower missed the bit from his bridle. In his complaint to a few' of the “Wranglers,” much sympathy was given. Thursday, the truth came out when on the new bridle was the missing bit. Said Mrs. Mumbower, after the presentation: “That horse has al ways been a competitor—now I presume I have no more chance. That gift was one which he will never forget—never.” SCHOOL NOTES Plans for the high school car nival are being made by the com mittee, with date set as Dec. 9, as previously announced. • The four high school classes have an nounced candidates for queen: Freshmen: Lois Chapman and Sandra Parker.

[TOTAL Pastor and Mrs. Leo VanDol- son of the local Seventh-Day Adventist church have accepted a call to connect with the Ja pan Union Mission of Seventh- Day Adventists for evangelistic work in that country. “The needs in Japan are great and the opportunities are out standing.” they* told the Pilot. “We feel that Christianity is es pecially needed there right now to provide a solid basis for Jap- anese democracy, even as it has provided the sound basis for our own democracry.” The VanDolsons and their two young children plan to leave Brookings the middle of Febru ary after the completion of the new' Adventist church here. They will visit their parents for about a month and will sail from San Francisco the middle of March. No word has yet been received as to who will take the Advent ist pastorate here.

Tragedy Stalked Family As no one witnessed the acci- dent, last Friday afternoon, de tails may never be know just how Mr. Carr w’as killed, but it is supposed that a log which had been “bucked” rolled over him. His presence was not missed un til about quitting time. His body was said to have been badly crushed, especially about the legs, when found. It was slightly more than a year ago that his brother, Ben- nie was killed in a logging ac- cident, and late last spring a son was drowned in the mill- Money On Hand: Serial Tax .......... Hosp.

Last year Gold Beach won it after a bitter struggle with Brookings, and went on to lose the county title in the play-off, but did rep resent the district in the state play-offs. Coarh Guthrie has plenty of absorbent towels for his crying. Two of his veterans, on whom he was depending a lot: Don Jaklewicz and Carl Kinion, are in the navy. Their loss to the team takes away some of the center height and experience Art Guthrie was relying upon. Guthrie has been counted out before his coaching career, but has come through to win out— or at least make the race quite interesting.

On their week’s trip they saw” much flooded land from swollen rivers, during recent storms.
