A "WHIRLEY BIRD” FOR BROOKINGS?
A helicopter for commuters to
Gold Beach might sound Ike a strange
recommendation—hut we’re not even
sure that we have our tongue in our
«cheek as we write this. Personally a
15 or,20 minute ride by “Whirley Bird”
seems a lot better idea than an hours
(or more) drive over the fiercest high
way in the United States.
’ What we suggest is that the
community buy one of the larger var
iety of helicopters, such as they use to
haul commuters from the airports to
the city. Then we could set up a regular
schedule, say two trips a day to (¡old
Beach. Maylx* on weekends we could
get into Oregon “Proper” in another
direction, with a trip to (¡rants Pass
Perhaps we could interest the
county government in the project, and
