SCHOOL. TO BEGIN NEXT TUESDAY. More than a hundred bright and shiny faced youngsters, all tog-1 ged out in their u -st cans and d resses will be* off Tuesdayon the greatest adventur. of their young lives—their first day of school. We wish them well in this new field ofendeavor. Gone for them are the days of happy, carefree moments at the side of their mo ther. Now they go out into a regimented, work-a-day world. A worlfl filled with a great deal of anxiety, stre ss and strain, a big world filled with millions of little problem s. Yet, that is all a part of growing up. Because there are days in school that are good too—filled with laughing, and playing, and in satisfaction in a job well dono. There probably isn't one of us adults who could watch a young ster walk off to his first day of school without a tear in his heart, and yet, who among us would want to go through all that again? One hundred new faces in the Brookings-Harbor school system, And only 30 graduated last spring from high school. That means that somewhere inbetween we have just lost another two c l a s s - rooms. It seems highly illogical that those hundred youngsters are go ing to have to face the double shift sessions in our system. We, as parents, as as community leaders can't feel too proud of our selves this day, as we see our children's education cut sharply in half because of a lack of classroom s. Does it seem fair to you that in this day of supposed progress and enlightenment, that our children should only have half the education that we ourselves had?| A dollar is a most important piece of paper. A tax dollar is an even more important piece. Yet, a child's education is very important too. As the months of crowded classroom s roll by, it seems that some of us will be shamed into doing something con structive to allieviate the situation. Under the existing conditions these hundred Brookings-Harbor youngsters, entering school for the first time, have a very tough row to hoe. We repeat again, we wish them well. ITS WORTH KNOWING. I suppose there is nothing more self-satisfying than being able to proclaim before the world ones firm and abiding faith in an inst itution or a principle. The ex perience is a particularly enjoy able one if the stand happens to be in agreement with the m ajor ity of those with whom he assoc iates. Happily there are many contro versies existing today which af ford everyone the opportunity of taking a popular stand. Enough of these exist as to make it un necessary for one to stand up for anything which might offend his neighbors. Thus one may air his views relative to flouridating the drinking water, the relationship of smoking to cancer, or the tie- in between juvenile and parental delinquency.

You've got to get away from Brook ings for a spell, in order to appreciate what nice country, and what a nice climate we do have. I'll go along with that, but who is going to pay my expenses out so I can look back objectively at Brookings. I’ll already petitioned the Rotary club to send me to Milwaukee to cover the World Series for them this year. It would be a fine club project. **•*****«***•»*«**•• (rÉATHEREO fishermen ?

It is, they say, simply load ed with tourists, and boats, and fishermen. Thousands come to Westport from all over the state, and on weekends you would be lucky if you can even park within a half mile of the harbor. The only thing different between Westport and Brookings is that they got started a little sooner—and they have a few more people in the immediate area. A W ♦»,?<£ JvO eo*’£ -aiFR.-ivS £V.’O> There has been a lot of yakking about a proposed trailer court north of town near the Richfield station. Personally, alt r gn ,ng it some thought I don't think it is such a bad idea. We do ne ,1 investment capital here, and there a-e a lot of worse things than a tra ile r home. It wasn’t too long ago that a trailer still carried a stigma of m igratory w orkers, etc. but now-u-davs, a trail r is the ultimate in luxuarv. Some of the new ones are so -lassy that I would be afraid to walk in them without first taking if mv shoes. I have been wrong before, but I don't think that a trailer park in Brookings would be in the least bit objectionable. We have ample space in Brookings for further business buildir.r , - that should be no object. The chief thing in the matter is that’th, property is zoned correctly, so what's the argument.

Free acts perform ed daily on the midway include Helen Haag in a celebrated "chim p" act; the Sky Kings in a high pole act; and the Eugene Highlanders - a Scotch bagpipe band - and Monte Brooks band with free concerts several tim es daily. Horse racing every afternoon except Sunday weill provide plenty of thrills for all the followdcs ot this "sport of kings". The rodeo and horse show will be given each evening with mat- inet s Sunday and Mcnday after noons. The garden and floral show - always one of the big attractions at the fair - will be bigger and better than ever this year. The garden area has been completely redesigned with a new colonnad ed floral building the dominant feature. A pool and a lagoon beautifully designed gardens bv some of the sta te 's leading land scape designers, and the large st begonia display ever shown under one roo{in Oregon will combine to make this part of the fair of exceptional interest.
