COMMITTEE OFFERS NAMES' Those recommended for positions on Brookings city council by the committee are not a “pct group” but are result of votes submitted by members of the committee. The method of selection was: Each of the committee submitted a list of five whom he felt would be his choice for the council. These were tabulated, and those receiv ing the greatqst number were put up as the committee’s recommendation, as promised weeks ago. As it looks to the Pilot, the men chosen command the deepest respect and confidence of committee members, for it must be assumed that this committee was looking for men who could be trusted to carry out a city pro gram—that is a good recommendation. This docs not, however, deter any other citizen from obtaining the required number of signatures to file his candidacy for the council. In fact, the committeemen believe that should happen, for, after all, the committee has no intentions of “running things.” It must also be remembered that this committee is composed of property owners, who pay taxes, and who will pay city taxes. It was with all this in mind that the recommendations were made to other voters. The Pilot feels that utmost faith may be placed in this group. By Dewey With the opening of Young’s 5 & 10 store, Monday, and with the future opening or Freeman's new store, Brookings has made a couple more steps toward being a town of fine shopping places. Recent completion of the new addition to E. E. Hanscam & Sons store makes that one of the big gest stores in the southwestern part of the state, to date. This all points to progress. The flowers oil display at the opening of Young’s new store indicate the appreciation people hold for this opening. The Youngs are more than thrilled at the response given them at their in itial day of the new store. “Our faith is more than justified” • • • I wish that people here would show only a tiny bit of faith in their fellow citizens who are do ing a yeoman job to' help this town progress.

The second woman in two weeks hase been accosted by a sex pervert, and some manner of dealing with these must be forthcoming—immediately. We in this city need not expect any aid from the state police—and need expect no more than just traffic help when patrolmen are here. • • • Made a trip to Seaside last week, to visit a niece whom I hadn’t seen for 31 years, and my 30-odd hours on the bus to and from Seaside awakened me to many needs of this community— so I studied almost every town I could, and asked many quees- tions. Without exception, I was told by difTerent town residents that the greatest need for incor- portion today is for the health and zoning ordinances and police protection. Who can question, even among those opposing, the lack of all these aids right here? Ask these two women who were subjected to humiliating attacks by a sex pervert. Ask those home-owners who fear that an undesirable bus iness or home will be erected on the adjacent lot. Better get on the bandwagon immediately and help instead of fighting those who are trying to do something? Weather Report For the week ending on Sun- day : Max. Min.
