reports good success when wood
is available.
Nichols came here from Med­
ford early in 1953. Prior to open­
ing the wood year he had e n -‘

work.
Mrs. Lola Nichols supervises
the Brookings Dog Pound. Since
being appointed to the posit Hon
in August 1955, she has found
homes for nearly 50 dogs. Of
cours«', now and then, one of the
canines is left there with some
ailment, or is vicious, or for
some reason does not fit into the
society of a suitable friend-of-
man category. Then of course, in
such instances the poor fellow
has to be put to sleep. This is
the only distastful part of the
business, Mrs. Nichols says. Then
sometimes, too, a stray gets to
galavanting around town with­
out the proper license. In such
case it is the duty of Mrs. Nich­

is operated l$y Bill Willey. He
and his wife, Flora, came to the
area in M ach of 1952. Bill
bought the station from Torn
Feiry. He had. worked for Tom
for 4 years in Coquille before
entering his own business.
He is not far from his boyhood
home. He moved to Coquille
when he was 7 and finished
school there He was very inter­
ested in sports while in school,
and saw an opportunity of im­
proving and developing that field
in the schools here. He believes
they do a lot toward developing
young men and women. After the
bones and muscles begin to stiff­
en a bit, he thinks fishing is a
g n a t sport and that the potent­
ial should be developed here as
an extra attraction to tourists.
The Willeys moved into their
new home in July of last year.

said there had been ten feet of
snow at the resort, then settled
to four feet and that some of the
cabins had been damaged. On
Page Mt., at an elevation of some
4,000 feet, there was 6 feet of
snow, compared to 28 inches
last year at the same time, and
at Althouse, the same elevation,
there was almost six feet of
snow on the ground. Most of this
snow’s water will drain into the
Illinois valley, and comparable
depths probably prevail in the
upper Rogue, Umpqua, Smith,
and Klamath valleys.
CARDWELLS MAKE TOUR —
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Cardwell re­
turned Friday from a vacation
in the Southwest where they vis­
ited relatives and friends in Tex­
as. They reported beautiful fern
picking weather througout the j
trip w’ith the exception of a snow­
storm in the Grand Canyon. Ed
was properly impressed w-ith the
hugeness of Texas and the ‘‘big­
gest of everything in it" except
their can of beer.
MORE TREES —
Every bare spot in the area
excepting range and garden
should be regarded in the light
of potential tree wealth, either
commercially or decoratively.

is not too soon to begin making
them, even more worthy of the
name ‘‘home.’’
The courts have held that a

and any realtor will tell you
that the appearances of the
grounds about a home will in­
crease its resale value as much
as 20 percent. If your home is
set in among others, all simil­
arly cared for, the actual value
of your property may be in­
creased more than that. If there
is an unkept property in your
neighborhood, it will reduce the
value of the whole, hence even
a little care of one’s home ground
is a wealth paying job of coop­
eration.

DANCES
They Are Fun and Exciting To Do
. . . Exciting Too!
A plan recommended by the
National Arborists Association
works well. Each member of the
family should have a tree or a
shrub of their own, from select­
ion to planting, caring and m at­
uring.
In our area, many beautiful
native trees, shrubs, and plants
have been destroyed in our need
for homesites—they have been
killed—which is contrary to a
commandment. Maybe the black
mark can be changed to grey,
at least, if they are replaced and
encouraged to grow on.
