Hanscams Suffer
Smoke 'Damage'
Early Monday
The Harbor store, owned by
E. E. Hanscam & Sons, nearly
suffered a devastating fire Sun
day morning, when a can of floor ‘
oil, put on the stove to heat,
boiled over onto the hot stove:
while no one was in the build |
ing. It was only by heroic meas
ures that the can was removed.
Planning to oil the floors, the
Pilot was told. Vernon went to
the store to prepare for the work
and decided to get a bite of
breakfast. When he returned the
flames were shooting to the ceil
ing and the smoke was so thick
that it was impossible to see
more than a few feet.
The can of burning oil was
slid from the stove onto a scoop,
and carried out. This week the
entire crew is busy cleaning up
the stock and fixtures, coated by
a microscopic film of oil smoke,
difficult to remove.
The Carson - Moore Custom Planing Mill, between Pacific ami Easy Street, is now
functioning at capacity. Employing from eight to ten men, will do custom planing.
This is another business which goes to make up a better economy for the area, ha

Home Building To
Begin Immediately
All Over 'Vicinity'
The coming of about 300 more
families to the Brookings vicinity
within the next six months to
a year has added impetus to the
home building program of the
area. One needs but glance in
any direction to see a home un
der construction, and perhaps at
the very side of one of these an
other foundation is in the process
of completion.
New subdivisions a b o u t the
area are being opened to pros
pective home owners, with these
subdivision undergoing leveling
and grading work.
Four contractors of the vicin
ity are going at top speed to try
to keep abreast with demands for
homes. Building material places
of the area report unprecedented
sales in lumber and materials to
go into homes.
Talk about town, especially by
those who have sufficient land on
which to build, is to either sell
the lots or to build a place for
rental. This source of home is
still indefinite and cannot be de
pended upon by any who seek
a place to live.
Ellsworth On Tour

WASHINGTON, D. C — (Special

the European War in Sept. 1944,
at my own expense, and twice la

congressional committees, said
Harris Ellsworth in a letter.
"I feel that these trips have
been of extreme value to me in
my work as a representative in
congress. Whether we like it or
not, we are deeply concerned with
the affairs of Europe. Congress
is faced almost constantly, it
seems to me, with decisions re
garding our policies and our ac
tivities there. I have learned a
lot on the previous trips but I
have always felt a bit dissatis
