Week-end Complete
The week-end observing the in- '
stitution of the new area began!
with a dance Saturday night at |
the V. F. W. hall, when more i
than 200 bought tickets.
A parade about noon down
town. with Chetco Wranglers in
the lead, gave color to the pre-
institutional ceremonies. A bugle
Corps furnished the music tor the
parade.
Tried Four Years Ago.
Attempt was made by Glenn
Titus of Coos Bay, in 1947. to
institute an aerie here, but at
that time a hundred members
was needed to start an aerie. Also
at that time there were not
enough people interested in the
founding of an aerie. Since then
the number was reduced to 50
members, which prompted the
recent successful attempt.
Fraternal Order of Eagles are
noted for their chairtable work
and community-building activi
ties. David Crawford, organizer,
suggested to the Pilot that the
local group will get to work soon
on its part in the community ex
pansion.
New Petition Must
Be Circulated Here
Insufficient
names,
together
with too little money guarantee
for an election, was reason given j
the committee seeking date for t
election on incorporation for the
town of Brookings, at the Wed
nesday meeting of the county
court.
Probably too hurriedly done,
the petitions presented to the
county court did not contain suf
ficient names of legal voters, ac
cording to a check made. In ad
dition, $250 was said to be need
ed to conduct the election, once
the date has been set.
The incorporation committee,
after being informed of the lack,
met last Thursday night, to re
write and re-circulate the peti
tions. Adequate money has now
been raised.
The petitions, as presented, did
not have a notary seal to insure
their validity to the county court,
due to the hurried preparation
and apparent lack of legal ad
vice in the matter.
Presentation, therefore, will be
delayed one month.

Brookings Dump
Is "Handier"
Smith River’s garbage dis
posal problems have been
solved and 54 families and
business places are utilizing
the new’ Brookings Garbage
service, it was learned this
week.
The garbage problem was
started when August Holtorf,
former collector, notified his
customers that he could not
afford to continue collection
of refuse for delivery to the
Crescent City garbage dump,
a 28-mile round trip.
Del Norte county subsi
dizes the Brookings service
and provides $25 toward the
truck maintenance. Garbage
is dumped on the land of the
owner on the Chetco River.—
