Editor, The P ilot:
To the
Mayor of Brookings, O regon:
Sir: I have been instructed by
a com m ittee
of
Del
N orte
county. Calif., residents to send
you this desperate appeal:
We are in sad plight. The Gil
bert creek detour is strew n with
the wrecks of once proud cars
suffering
from
broken
axles,
springs, b attered fenders, and
afflicted with ra ttlin g bolts. The
road is the w orst of any in Amer
ica. You mended it once for us
during the recent flood. W on’t
you please come and mend it
again?
Will you m ake an appeal to
your S ta te Highway D epartm ent
to come tb California and repair
the Gilbert creek bridge? You
did a fine job in Oregon when
miles of highway w ere washed
out in the sam e flood. You had
traffic rolling m errily along w ith
in a few days. We. however,
have no way of repairing th at
bridge. It is a small job, but our
Governor W arren is filled with
dream s of W ashington and our
state highway boss is busy plan
ning super highways for Los An
geles county. More than 370,000
tourists will be stalled at the state
line this year unless Oregon comes
to our aid.
While you’re about it will you
clean up the 1000 feet of g a r
bage strew n along 101 a t our
state portal ? Cans, bottles, ca r
tons, paper, towels, handkerchiefs,
and assorted w aste lines this
stretch of road year a fte r year
from the border to the quarantine
station. It is our welcome to
tourists, but we of Del N orte
think it a disgrace and a hum ili
ation.
Please s ta rt your road work for
us at the q u arantine station. Be
careful as you pass out of the
building . . . holes in the road will
wreck your car if you’re not care
ful.
Help us, please. Help us . . .
and God will rew ard you. Cali

the lam blike appearance of the
Bedlington fool you as he is eager
to a tta ck anything from a badger
to a fox. He usually averages
16 inches in height and weighs
approxim ately 25 pounds. He is
truly a plucky little fellow and
has an adventurous past. Back
in 1782 the Bedlington roamed
w ith the gypsies over the borders
of England and is named from
the town of Bedlington, N orthum
berland, England, and as this was
a mining town he was very val
uable to the m iners in helping
them keep m eat on the table.
The gypsies of Europe still use
them to bring in the rabbits. His
love for a good fight made him
eager as a contestant in the pop
u lar sport of pit-fighting against
o th er dogs and is still used in
England for this sport. This cud
dly little dog is a favorite Am er
ican pet as he does not shed hair.
He is very affectionate and loves
