Broken water main Last Tuesday, the Public Works Utilities Crew responded to a broken water main on Os- trander Lane in the north part of the City. This main line is a six-inch cast iron pipe that dates from the early 1960s. The City said the crew responded to the break at 6:30 a.m. and every- thing was repaired and back in service by 10 a.m. The line was repaired with a full-circle clamp patch. This particular water main break caused a 12x30 foot sec- tion of asphalt to lift, which will need to be replaced. Customers were affected by this break from Ostrander Lane to North 16th to Oswald West. GARAGE SALE 78555 North Cedar Park Road Sat. only 8am-4pm Lots of great stuff!

Meanwhile, the advent of a large ship driving onto the beach in the dark of night had not gone unnoticed on shore. However, because it is not in the standard-operating-procedures manuals of freighters to drive head-on into beaches, some wit- nesses of the incident assumed they were looking at a ship of a type that WAS designed for that sort of thing — such as a land- ing craft. So even as the Coast Guard got busy unloading the crew of the battered freighter, rumors were fl ying around that a big Japanese ship was dumping soldiers onto the outskirts of Warrenton for an invasion. Companies of soldiers, locked and loaded and ready to show the Japanese what a big mistake they’d made, converged on the beach, joined by civilians carry- ing their Winchesters and Rem- ingtons ready at port-arms, to fi nd — a bunch of Coast Guard guys and other local residents salvaging Christmas trees and cases of steaks out of the surf near a big steamer lying strand- ed on the beach. There were a couple of mo- ments of high drama when the soldiers fi rst arrived. The surf was full of baled Christmas trees, which looked a little bit like men swimming to shore. One or two of the trees got shot at before everyone realized what was going on, according to an oral-history interview with a soldier conducted by the Can- non Beach History Center. Mindful of what happens to 10,000 turkeys when they’re left out in an unrefrigerated space for too long — even in Decem- ber on the Oregon Coast — the military declared the contents of the Mauna Ala “open sal- vage,” essentially inviting local residents to come on down and get what they could. So, plen- ty of locals got to start off the nation’s four-year wartime run of scarcity and rationing with a whale of a Christmas feast, courtesy of the Mauna Ala and the U.S. military.
