By Coquille Woman's Club in
Community Building Sat­
urday Evening
The annual Festival and May Day
Dance given by the Coquille Woman’s
Club is to be held in the Community
Building tomorrow (Saturday) eve­
ning, with the program of feature at­
tractions starting at 8:00 p. m.
Mrs.. R. A. Werinch, president of
the club, who has acted as general
chairman of this year’s dance ar­
rangements, stated yesterday that
those attending would enjoy a very
pleasant evening.
Complete details
of the program are not given in ad­
vance, but she mentioned some of the
feature numbers which will make
this year’s affair different from those
in the past.
The Marshfield school band of 34
pieces, with their colorful uniforms,
will give a concert at 7:30 o’clock in
the park in front of the Community
Building. The band will also parti­
cipate in the opening feature of the
evening, as will the orchestra of eight
pieces, conducted by Don Estes, as a
prelude for the violin numbers by
Miss Muriel Dae and four or five of
her pupils.
A real Scotch bagpipe numbar by
a member of the McKinley CCC
camp, the Maypole winding, tap
dancing and a feature waltz by Mr.
and Mrs. Ellis Newton, are other
numbers on the program, alj of which
will help make the 1936 Festival one
long to be remembered.
The decorative plans this year are
different .and will be beautiful and
effective.
Admission will be 25 cents ior
spectators, 40 cents per person for
dancing.

COQUILLE. COOS COUNTY. OREGON. FRIDAY, MAY 1. 1838.
NO. 1«.
HMML
Before leaving for her home in
Portland last Saturday, Mrs. Emily
Hersey contracted with E. W. Grogg
for the construction of a 50x100 feet,
single story building on her lot be­
tween the W. O. W. and Laird build­
ings.
The E. V. Hand shoe repair shop
will occupy the west room which Is to
be 18 feet wide, but no leases have
been signed yet for the other two.
Construction is to start just as soon
as the old Cow Bell Dairy frame
building is removed.
Mrs. Hersey
made a deal with Mrs. Mabie Laird
while here to use the west wall of the
brick building as a party wall.
Fire Wednesday Evening
The Ellis Kelley home on Ninth
street, between Heath and Coulter,
was the scene of 1 a fire about eight
o’clock Wednesday evening, the cause
of which is a mystery. Most of the
contents were destroyed, but the
building still stands.
When Ellis went to the hospital
last week after being injured at the
mill, his daughter, Videlle, went to
the Jno. Aasen home and his son,
Rex, was living at the Couch place
not far away. The latter had been
at the house about four o'clock and
there was no evidence of fire there
at that time.
Alva Nosier Has. Agency Here
A. A. Nosier, Jr., wh~ came up here
from San Diego about a month ago,
has been apopin ted local representa­
tive of the Pacific Mutual Life In­
surance Co. As soon as school is out
in the south he will move his family
to Coquille. At present he is making
his home with his aunt, Mrs. Birdie

A LETTER FROM HOME
Good Majority for Better Lights)
Choral Club Concert Postponed
The charter amendment whose
purpose was to permit property own­
ers in the business section to provide
a better system of street lighting—at
their own expense—was adopted by a
majority ot 83 at Monday's special
election. The vote was 112 for to 49
against. The 181 votes cast is just
about 12 per cent of the number who
were entitled to vote, but as is usual
in special elections, where the per­
sonal element does not enter in, the
average voter did not take the trouble
to cast a ballot.
Observance of Music Week in Co­
quille with a concert by the Choral
Club has been of necesisty postponed
for a couple of weeks.
Because of
the meetings now in progress at the
Pioneer church the club's program
will be given on Tuesday, May 19.
Music Week has been observed
here for the past few years and al­
ways in a most befitting manner and I
there will be a few musical programs i
next week, one by the schools and by r
recitals next Saturday afternoon and |
evening. May 9, by the piano and l
voice pupils of Mrs. Maud Woodyard, ,
