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.

Pine Cone Modernizes With Addition
Of New Cydoramic Projection Screen
In the continued effort to
bring patrons of the Pine
Cone Theatre the best phys
ical presentation of its pic
tures, the latest type of screen
called the Cycloramic, and
fast, coated lenses have been
added, Norris Kemp told the
Pilot last Saturday. 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.

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.

Scout Building To
Become A Reality
This is National Scout Week.
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

seeing after finances of the new
proposed building. Odd Fellows
