'Incorporation' Gains In Sentiment
Incorporation of Brookings has been gaining in sen
timent in recent months, if talk at the chamber of com
merce meeting is indicative. It seems generally agreed
among the citizens that this area needs an identity—
needs a governing body to which local problems may

b'oremost among remarks by those favoring incorpor
ation is the belief that law and order must soon be en
forced, Lick of which stands in way of further progress.
A committee, appointed to make a study and report all
its findings to the community, is functioning under di

It is moving time for several
businesses in Brookings, These
moves are primarily for expan-
sion: Gould’s Shoe Store will,
possibly by the end of the week,
be located in the former Vin-
cent’s Shadow Room, more than
doubling their former site, Bert
DeMoss will soon occupy the
store being vacated by the shoe
store, adding considerable to the
space he now occupies.
Weather still prevents start of\
construction on Manley build
ing, between the Vincent Build
ing and Pine Cone Theatre. The
delay hampers Young's 5 & Id
from its proposed expansion of
business. Wilson Freeman is al
so being hampered by the wet
whither in getting his construc
tion under way. His new build-
ing will double the size of his
present Chctco Store.

Am tickled to note the ~ en
thusiasm with which people of
area are working at Chamber of
Commerce assignments. This is
gratifying because it means 1951
should be another year of prog
ress. Noted, too, is a new dis-
play of harmony among mem
bers of that group.
Threat of war may hamper a
lot of plans but this area has
a place in the economy of the
nation, so cannot sit idly by and
not strive lor greater things. I
really predict many things for
this coming year.
Over the week-end, radios re-
vealed the power outage at Eu-
reka, and the flood stage of a
few rivers in that vinicity. It
makes most of us glad to be in
this area, for the brunt of the
big storm which lashed the west
coast, spared this area much of
its fury. We had wind, and rain
but not in proportions which did
damage as elsewhere.
Taft, to the north of us, had
plenty of wind damage to the
new high school under construc
tion, which will cause much de
lay in its completion. Perhaps it
is fortunate for the local people
they could not get started. At
any rate, they were not alone in
being delayed.
University of Washington, the
school which most of the hoop
experts predicted to be the di-
sion winner in the northwest, is
having more than just tough
sledding in its 1951 season. The
Huskies, on their home floor, put
the Oregon Ducks down, but the
OSC Beavers split with them on
a road trip more than week ago.
Last Friday and Saturday the
Huskies got in the WSC Cougars
lair and came out second best
in two games.
