Lifeboat Stations
To Be Abandoned
Seattle, Sept. 17 (41 Three
roast guard lifeboat stations on
the Oregon coast at Bandon,
Port Orford and Florence may
be abandoned.
The coast guard called for
public hearings to consider abol
ition of the stations. The hear-!
ings will be at the Coquille river
lifeboat station, Bandon, Sep
tember 23 at 2:30 p.m.; at the

trict, said the proposed abolition
of the stations was an economy
measure.
f Hamonic were saved.
"A miraculous combination of
circumstances" was credited by
an investigating board with sav
ing those on the Hamonic.
Passengers aboard the vessel
idly watched a small fire in the
dock's freight sheds as the vessel
docked at Point Edward, July
17, 1945.
A sudden gust of wind sent a
shower of sparks onto the ship's
superstructure and the Hamon
ic was ablaze.
The same wind, meanwhile,
had fanned the dock into flames.
Capt. H. L. Beaton ordered
the mooring cables chopped and
backed his ship into the St. Clnir
river channel. There as the fire
swept across the decks of the
Hamonic, passengers began leap
ing the 50 feet to the water.
At this point, Capt. Beaton
ordered full speed ahead and
steered for the shore. The Ha
monic crashed into the bank. Her
prow was buried 20 feet and the
vessel held fast.
By then, the fire had reached
amidship and escape from the
stern was impossible.
Those on the prow faced a des
perate choice. To jump meant
serious injuries. To remain
meant certain death.
It was then that a dockman,
Elmer Kleinsmith, raced to the
controls of a giant dock crane
and moved Its boom over the
ship.
Seven times he scooped up
loads of humanity. When he
had finished, more than 100 per
sons had been carried to safe
ty. Astern, scores of other pas
sengers were trapped. They be
gan sliding down ropes and
jumping Into the water. Crew
men, who remained behind to
be seriously burned, helped pas
sengers to safety aboard small
crafts from Sarnia and Port
Huron, Mich., which waited to
pick them from the water.

All Auto Plates
Expire Dec. 31st
Secretary of State Earl T.
Ncwbry today pointed out that
all 1949 automobile license
plates expire December 31, as
in former years despite the new
staggered registration system.
Newbry said there, has been
some confusion regarding expir
ation dates under the permanent
plate staggered registration sys
tem law passed by the last leg
islature.
The new monthly expiration
schedules apply only to 1950
license plates, although the ex
piration dates in the new sche
dules are determined by the
numbers on the 1949 plates.
Newbry said the main thing
to remember is that all 1950
plates must be obtained before
the end of the year. The new
plates will remain on the ve
hicle for five years. Each re
newal after that will fall due
every year in the month shown
on the plate at the regular $10
fee.

them as well as the cost of dam
ages. The Hilfiker road runs east
off the Pacific highway just
south of the intersection with the
12th street cutoff. It was origin
ally included in a deed from A.
August Hilfiker and Bernice
Hilfiker and was intended as a
30-foot right of way. Deeds
along one 15-foot half of the
right of way carried exceptions
for the roadway. However, the
deeds to the other half failed to
note the roadway, leaving only
a 15-foot strip for ingress and
egress. This year one of the
owners blocked part of the 15
foot strip along his land with the
result that the instant proceed
ings were instituted to open up
the roadway 30-feet wide for
the entire distance.
Under the findings of the
viewers all other owners along
that side of the road are to give
quit claim deeds to 15-foot strips
adjacent to their lands.
Agriculture in the United
States is estimated to provide a
livelihood for more than 30,000
000 people.
