One ehiecken thief is sure of it.
A fter avoiding children of the fam
ily of Pete Peterson a brazen
chicken thief carried the last two
chickens of the fam ily flock into
the Chetco Cafe on Tuesday night
His intentions from there on
were unpredictable, because as he
entered he spotted Mr. and Mrs.
Peterson in the cafe and making a
joke of the two live »chickens he
carried by the neck he approached
them. The chicken feed cost Jiim
five dollars.

Curry Co. Booth
At State Fair
The 1952 State F air held nt
Salem, Oregon from August 90th
to Septem ber Hth had the la rg e st
attendance in the history of an-
i mini State Fairs.
There were 15
county exhibits at the F air this
y» a r out of the 36 counties in the
Stute.
The Gprry County booth
was supervised by Mr. and Mrs.
Charles G rayshel and thud on d is
play the natural resources of the
county. Also featured in the booth
w ere'C roft E aster Lilies, King Al
fred Daffodil bulbs, (plywood, wool,
myrtlewood, Langlois Obeese, m in
erals, finisher! myrtlewood pieces
and rnbrum lilies. L iterature from
all p arts of the county was on dis
play a t the table to give aw ay to
anyone i n t
«*<1, and a large
number of persons asked about the
m inerals in the county, as well as
w h it to do while in our county.
Many inquiries were received from
fishermen and hunters as to the
best time to come for th<* fall fish
ing in the stream s along the coast
of Currycounty. ThevariousState
parks in our area created a lot of
in terest as well as places for fam
ilies to stay overnight. We would
like to have a large display of
m inerals for the Pacific U nterna-
tional Livestock Show to be held in
Portland from October 4th to 11th
inclusive. We feel th a t m inerals
are going to play an im portant
p art in the future of C urry county
and we should advertise these
natural resources to the rest of the
State. At the Pacific International
Livestock Show there will be peo
ple from the entire Pacific N orth
west, as well as m id -w e ste rn
States. So if anyone has samples
of copper, gold, silver, crome, coal,
tungsten, cobalt, zinc, molybdenite
and any others, p h ase leave them
with Charles Grayshel in Brook

Extension office at Gold Beach.
