U. of O. Library Motorists Warned Of Violations Of "Sreet Parkina" On page two of this issue ap- pears a resolution handed to the Pilot by a member of the high way department who prefers to, remain anonymous, but who was; emphatic in his statement to | this paper that people of this! area must stop angle parking on the mainstreet, from the entrance of towm on the north, past the Hendricks Furniture store. “We wish you’d publish this resolution and appeal to the peo-1 pie to stop this violation on their own acocrd. If they will not, on! some day, when east expected, i a state police officer will be here, i and there may be many fines, i and some disgruntled people. “We know’ that your main i street is wide, perhaps wide i enough for angle parking, ex-H cept that it is also a state high- way, maintained and policed as such. “The hazards here are about the worst in the state, if I may that blunt. Take your cars parked along the street at an angle, narrow the street, until one is obliged to back out into the lane of traffic in order to get away from the curb. Fortunately you never have had. an accident, and we hope to keep it that way.” Some two years ago. the high- day department renewed markings for parallel parking on the street. People, in a hurry, never seemed to observe these, and once begun the habit grew* until no regard is made for the signs. However, a talk to this highway department man would convince that the practice will and must stop, even at the cost of several dollars before a police magistrate. Our Hame, Too!

EMERY WALLACE BELIEVED DROWNED ¡Oregonian Sold To IN CHETCO; MISSING SINCE DEC. 2nd Eastern Publisher Osteopath Locates In Area This Week In the office adjacent to Dr. R. E. Smith, dentist. Dr. Roy M. White, osteopathic physician and surgeon, has opened up a prac tice this week, according to an announcement elsew’here in this issue. Dr. White is not exactly new’ to Oregon, having been located at Jacksonville for some time, but could not resist the attraction of the coastal country. Dr. Smith was graduated from. University of Arizon, and Kirks-1 ville College of Osteopathy and| Surgery, and served his interne- ship at the Portland Osteopathic hospital. Born in Arkansas, Dr. Smith served almost six years in World War 2. most of w’hich was in the Southwest Pacific. He returned to civilian life after rising to rank of Lt. Colonel. He is mar ried, has a boy 6 and a girl 8. He is a Mason and both he and his wife are members of OES. The family will remain at the Jacksonville home until suitable residence may be found here. In a statement to the Pilot on Tuesday, Dr. White said he had hopes of building a clinic here! some early date, and to expand' his fi< ilities Word was brought into the area Monday evening by Earl The Oregonian, founded Dec.

ART STONEHOUSE DIES Just as the Pilot was being put to press, it was learned that A. E. “Art” Stonehouse had died about 11 a. m. Wednesday morn ing at his home. No details have been learned. Mr. Stonehouse, who had lived in the area for several years, had not been in too strong health. He attended Rotary luncheon, Tues day noon as usual. No funeral arrangements were announced. | "Trade-At-Home" | Aids Home Cause Merchants Aver Going on the assumption that “home dollars work best at home” local merchants have appealed to people of the area to try to leave their dollars here in ail possible ways, not only in Christmas buy ing, but the remainder of the year. Business men of the area, at great costs in the past four years, have improved their places of business and have bought all the stocks they are able, in older to meet local demands and wishes. At the time the Pilot was founded here in 1946, this was not true—• stores were not fully stocked— handicaps were many and almost too big for the business people at the time, right after war ration ing was lifted. For the past six or more weeks local merchants have made invi tations through the columns of the Pilot, appealing for the local patronage. These merchants be lieve firmly that they have about the best selections that are ob tainable even in comparison to larger towns and cities. Almost without exception, every business in the area is using up to double the floor space used as few as two years ago. A survey of the area proves this statement. More expansion is being reveal ed almost every day. Latest of w hich is the Hendricks Furniture Co., which is doubling its floor space in the new addition under construction. Redfield Grocery, upon its com pletion, has set a pace for the remainder to follow. In 1950, just about to close its books, survey reveals several new’ businesses in the area, all signs of progress once thought to be only in the realm of “fanciful thinking.” Read the message of the local merchants, on this page. All Aliens Must Be Registered Soon According to a statement made by Goldie V. Smith, local post master, all aliens residing in the United States are required, on Jan. 1, or within ten days, to re port to the commissioner of nat uralization. These cards, said Mrs. Smith, are available at the local post offices which will give instructions to any who may call for them. Firemen Will Set Christmas Tree The annual Christmas tree, un der sponsorship of the volunteer firemen of the area, will again be erected in front of the Central Building, according to Ed Thorn ton, on the committee for ar rangements. This will spike a rumor to the contrary, he told the Pilot, Mon day, while announcing the an nual Christmas dance, to be held Dec. 25. probably at the Grange hall, although that is not certain.
