Chetco Inn Soon To Serve The Public Long idle as far as travelers were concerned, Chetco Inn will soon be made available to the public, according to an announce, ment on page six of this issue. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Taylor of Los Angeles, new owners, have never let cost deter them from restoring this famous old land- mark to something of its orig- inal appeal to the public. So thoroughly have Mr. and Mrs. Taylor gone at their task the entire interior has been re plastered, re-decorated, re-wired and re-furnished tastily with the modern appealing furniture for the most discriminating guests. There will be a few small apartments available ^or “steady tenants” and also available are two kitchens especially designed for the fishermen or sportsmen who wish to cook their own meals I and conduct their own parties! on such excursions. “Many fish ermen and hunters for that mat ter, have their own special way they like their game cooked,” Mr. Taylor asserted. These men may have their own fun here.” Entering from the front, one is amazed at the lobby, finished in new black and green tile, so cheery on cool evening from the roaring fire in the huge fire place. The dining room, still not completely re-finished, strikes a person in a peculiar way: Here “the same old place, only better than ever.’’ New furniture is be- ing installed in all rooms. Restoration of this old hotel will go far toward making this area attractive to tourists, es pecially those who once stayed at this famous inn. Miss Hurst Given U Of O.

An ad vertisement appears on an other page of this issue. The Cycloramic screen is so constructed as to make the projected picture equally as ivell viewed from the front and side seats as it does frpm the center rear seats. All glare and eyestrain are com pletely eliminated, and an added depth, clarity and real ism is effected. The new lens es also help to sharpen the color and detail of the pic tures. giving almost the il lusion of a third dimension. A new popcorn machine, an improvement on the former one, plus an orange drink dispenser machine are among new additions at the Pine Cone, Mr. Kemp added, while placing the advertisement. Rod & Gun Club Books First Round Of Curry County Shooting Championship Who's the best shot in Curry County? They say that differences of opinion make for good horse racing—or good shoot ing. Gold Beach noised it about that they had the best shot in the state — one of their fellows took the state meet staged by the Elks. Langlois comes up with “So What?" and Brookings fellows aren't without some “pride" in the eagle eyes of the area. So what does that bid for Sunday, next when Chetco Rod and Gun Club is host to the first round of the county cha impion ship match.

Now, to put up some fancy precedent Chetco Rod and Gunners are going to do a little extixt, if club advertising means any thing. Pressed for any prediction on the final outcome, local shots say that it is the best team score that wins—and smiles are prevalent, because the bunch here are all good shots so they say. The date is Sunday, and the time has been set for ten-thirty a. m. Win Costs Freeman A 'Chicken Dinner' Arthur Guthrie, mentor of all things athletic at the high school who has become bald because of it, could not be reached for any comment, but the story leaked out early this week that Wilson Freeman, who likes his athletics in any fashion, gave out wit h a chicken dinner, all because he wanted the Bruins to whip the Bandon club a week ago. The Pilot found out that sev- eral of the basketball boys had been benched for disciplinary reasons (withheld because of their youth) and the picture did not look good. Wilson, who thought (maybe) he would be safe in offering a treat like this, told the remain ing eligibles he would gladly put up a chicken dinner if Brook ings was able to tip over Ban don. The second team did the stunt, so the first team had to do likewise. Fans who saw the game, arc fully aware of the effort these boys put out to accomplish the feat everyone of them swear no one can cook chicken like Mrs. Freeman no one is doubting a word of it. The inéligibles, it is said, did nothing more than just pick at their teeth.

Affiliated with this character- building organization, there art? 2,750.000 boys, but statistics re veal that only a negligible per centage of boys who have scout training ever become delinquents or have brushes with law. The February project of the local scouts will be sale of tick ets to raise funds to finance a scout building and everyone who is approached, is urged to buy. Boys Scouts locally need lead ers and anyone interested should make themselves known. The scout committee, headed by Rev. Father Don Denman, is seeing after finances of the new proposed building. Odd Fellows sponsor the Boy Scouts; P.-T. A. the Cub, and Explorers by the local Catholic church. , Realty Transfers Mr. and Mrs, Lewis A. Peter son of Portland have purchased the Walter S.
