Things couldn’t have looked
worse for Cottage Grove going
into Friday’s game with Willa-
mette.
The Lions, without a District 5-
AAA win, had just come off a hu-
miliating defeat to Churchill the
week before. Then an even bigger
loss hit Tuesday when the South
Lane Tax levy was defeated, sig-
naling school closure.
But, ironically, all the bad news
have been just a little more deci-
sive for the democrats.
Out of some 15 precincts ex-
amined, only two went for the
republicans, the precinct at the
City Hall and one at Creswell.
Of the six measures referred
to the people by the state legisla-
ture, only four were approved by
the voters of this section. Mea-
sures approved included one
which would permit the state to
accept gifts, a raise in pay for
certain state offi cers, a measure
which would fi x the qualifi ca-
tions for county coroners and
surveyors and one prohibiting
fi shing south of the Columbia

Eisenhower and Nixon Reelected
While Eisenhower made an
impressive showing in most
parts of the country Tuesday, his
margin of victory in South Lane
County was only about 10 per-
cent as compared to almost two
t one in the South Lane area in
1952. That briefl y indicates the
change in the political complex-
ion which has occurred in the
area in the past four years. Ac-
cording to tabulations completed
by the Sentinel staff, he was the
only republican candidate to win
