Last Tuesday evening sons? 400 residents met w ith Sid Laswell, from a Corvallis engin eering firm , and w ere told their lim it of bonding w as about $30,000 but th a t some $9.000 m ore would be required and th a t the chances were they would has.? to incorporate before they could even raise th at. To offset the $9.000 difference it was brought out there would h a \e to be a connection charge of $130 plus $5.00 p er m onth to the uom estic user. On th e basis of the ¡»resent valuation, they w ere told, a 10 mill levy, plus th e income from connection and service, would am ortize the indebtedness in 25 years and also tak e care of any foreseeable expansion. Mr. Laswell then explained to the Langlois people how they may go about solving th e ir prob lem. legally.

We want to start off by wishing everyone a Merry Christinas. Without a doubt this time of year is, indeed, a merry one. Everyone begins to get the feel of the season from jolly old Santa Claus, right dow n to the two-year old child. I lours are spent cheerfully in decorating homes, lawns and rooms. People spend money happily, buying gifts for others. We must remember too, the real reason for Christmas, and the real reason for “Joy On Earth -Good Will to Men.’’ At this season we honor a child’s birth, Jesus, anti rightly enough the Christmas time spirit is best demonstrated by making the children of the home happy. Christmas is a time for children’s laughter. Our fondest desire is that the phrase “Christmas spirit,” begins to be more and more accepted through out the entire year. , w C O U N TY O F F IC E R S V IS IT C ounty Judge Raym ond L ath rop and Com missioner J.

A MEETING OF IMPORTANCE Friday night the Curry County court, Judge (iuy Forsyth, and commissioners Tex Breedlove and lx»b Ismcrt were in Brookings. We believe it was Forsyth’s and Breedlove’s first public appearance in Brtxikii lgs since the election. W ere for meetings of this type. I he Chamber <jf Commerce and Sam I fall arc to be congratulated in arranging the meeting. It was a good one. It is our impression that if meetings such as this, with the court sitting down with a group of business and professional men, and discussing current prob lems and plans, there would be much less mis-under- standing. .. . , „ I here were some very important problems discussed at the meeting, such as county school aid. from O & C tynber funds; road repair; and timber tc appraisal. V e would like to go into them more fully at a later date. The important thing now, is that these meetings are essential jK-riodically, to enable a de mocracy to function properly. I he people elect county officials, and the people should have the right to he heard. FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH By C L IFFO R D P.

A. Agnew timber interests in Curry County have been subjected to a series of trespasses, some of which appear to have been deliberate. An honest check of property lines would have eliminated this problem. The purchase of logs from a tres pass area subjects the buyer to paying twice for the same logs. These practices will not be tolerated. S. A. Agnew will use every remedy available, both civil and criminal, to stop this practice. Brookings Plywood Corporation has been appointed by S. A. Agnew to safe-guard and patrol his Curry County properties and to assist in any necessary prosecutions. S. A. AGNEW BROOKINGS PLYWOOD CORPORATION VIRGIL L. CLARK Timber Manager
