Being its St. Patrick s Day
something has to be said about
the Irish—good or bad. I can't
think of many good things, but
I'll try. They say there are two
kinds, orange and green, and two
types—those that are; and those
that wish they weren’t. I don'»
know which colors fit with what,
but we’ll be able to separate them
by checking the color of their
ties today.
• • • • •
Joe claims to be one of the true
type from way back. In fact I
think I remember him saying he
was a throwback of some sort. Al
though I have my doubts about
the color choice. I have yet to see
the color of his money at the local
coffee shop when tim e comes to
buy a round. It might be that its
printed in true "north” fashiqn
black on orange paper.

The Irish are known for their
boxing fame. Just look at the
long list of champions: ‘ Rocky
Granciano, Max Schmeling, Rocky
Marciano, Kid Gavilar and Joe
Louis to mention a
of the
better ones.
Today is the day New York has
its famous St. Patrick’s Parade.;
They tell me thousands march
down Broadway. We here in
Brookings could get some what
the same effect if we could get
Joe to bring his family and march
them down Chetco Avenue.
• * * * •
Seriously, lets wish the Irish
luck today . . . . They need it.
• • • • •
The new signs welcoming people
into Brookings also cautions them
to drive slowly. Both good Ideas
The sign got to us through the ef
forts of Henry Kerr and the Safe

Another nice thing happening
to our city is the street cleanup
by the Explorer Scouts. It really
makes the place look sparkling.
1 imagine both Mayor Brimm and
Pop Reed are responsible for that.
Congratulations boys, it was a
job well done.

Now all we need is some civic
spirit on the n’l year events assoc
iation. George Funk said he was
going to serve coffee at the Sun
day meeting. That alone should
attract a big crowd.
A school budget meeti.i) is io
be held on Thursday, March 24 at
I 7:30 p. m .to ’ discuss the budget
. for the next fiscal year.
The Phillips Dad and Lad cloth
ing store has spent the last four
days moving into their greatly
enlarged store in the Weicteman-
Kessler building.
The firm is already doing bus
iness in their new location, which
has several times the floor space
that was available in the old loc
ation. All new tixtures and a great
deal more stock have beed added
‘to the store in order to serve the
community more adequately .
The Phillips are fdanning a
grand opening in the very near
future.
TWIN PIANISTS
TO BE LAST
IN CONCERT YEAR
Ernest and Miles Mauney, twin-
duo-pianist, will appear at the
Crescent-Aik School Auditorium
in Crescent City, Monday evening
March 21st. This ts the final Con
cert of the 1954-55 season pre
sented by the Community Concert
Association.
These brilliant young Southern
ers have the rare distinction of
boing identical twins, which may
account for the unusual unity of
their performances. As one critic
described it, “ihey make the two
instruments seem as one,” while
another commented on their "un-
cannyc o-operation in getting un
ified effects in music imagery. ’
They bring their own concert
grand Steinways in a special van.

poorly attended but their import
ance cannot be over emphasized.

— At a dosed meeting of the
Directors for School District 17C,
last Thursday evening, Mr. Hamp
ton presented his resignation to
the board, stating that he wished
to terminate h,s services as super
intendent at the close of the cur
rent school year.
Mr. Hampton stated: ”1 wish to
terminate my services to School
District No. 17C at the close of the
current school year. Due to the
burden of the earing for the doub
le shift program, and the growth
of the district to the place that
housing for tlie school cannot be
accomplished without the double
session, I wish to terminate my
services as of the above mentioned
date.
I have enjoyed working with the
district during the past 8 years
and wish the district every suc
cess.”
The Board stated that they ac
cepted the resignation of Mr.
Hampton with regret and the re
alization that replacement to the
fiosition may be difficult.. They
stated that the past 8 years have
been exceedingly difficult for
school administration in view of
the rapid growth fo the District
and the shortage of qualified
teachers.
During thia period the school
census has increased from 379 to
1186, and in addition to the high
school, an elementary building,
and a new high school , has been
built.
