They sell for ten cents and everyone is happy to buy and wear one. Following are extracts from the Auxiliary’s poppy booklet which tell how and by whom the poppies are made and what is done with the funds: Memorial poppies are made of red crepe paper, by hand, by disabled veterans in more than fifty hospitals and poppy workrooms in forty states and the workers receive pay for (Continued on Page Six) Townsend Club to Give Play An unusually large crowd was present for the regular Townsend club meeting in the Community Building Tuesday evening when a fine program, followed by a dance kept the crowd interested until a late hour. On June 7 the club is preparing to stage a play, “A Family Affair.” More details will be given later. Family Deserter in Crescent City Robert B. Collins, the man who wrecked his car and deserted his family here the first part of last week, was reported to the state police to have been seen in Crescent City last Saturday. Check-ups in the east show him to have been the inmate of several penitentiaries, and with a long criminal record. Announcements are being made in all the Sunday Schools of the city this week about the Daily Vacation Bible School, Which is scheduled to begin June 7, and continue for three weeks of four days each. The School will be held in Pioneer Methodist church but is being sponsored by all of the churches in Coquille. Ma terials have been ordered for a school of 200, which is twice the size of last year’s Vacation school. Interesting hand-work is being planned for the various departments and there will be supervised recreational periods for the different age groups. Classes will be provided for those of pre-school age as well as for the older boys and girls. A new departure from the usual program will be the provision where by the girls in the intermediate de partment will be permitted to take up the mechanical hand-work that has heretofore been reserved for the bby< alone. Qf course, there will be sewing classes also for those who pre fer that type of work. It is fully ex pected that the Vacation School will be the popular place in Coquille during the three weeks it is in session. Too Much at Last Minute Much type set for this week's is sue of the Sentinel has been un avoidably left out, it only appearing this morning to be necessary to print ten pages, which was too late for the mechanical ability of the plant. Coast Highway Association To Attempt Larger Membership And More Funds A spirited meeting was held at a dinner session in the Coquille Hotel Tuesday evening when a dozen or more of the Lincoln county mem bers met with the Board of Control of the Coast Highway Association. The result of the conference was the*calling of a special meeting of the association to be held in Newport on Tuesday, June 7, at which time consideration will be given to a change in the constitution of the as sociation which will permit solicita tion of funds for support of the as sociation from hotels, camp grounds, resorts, individuals, and others, who are now receiving benefit from travel on the Coast Highway/ yet coatribute not one cent to this agency which is directly responsible for increased travel. Another matter which will be considered is the employment of an assistant manager who will solicit funds for the association; and still an other matter will be consideration of the suggestion that the association issue a picture booklet. Some censure was voiced by the Newport delegation of the association office management, but after Ed Miller had given a splendid talk of an hour and a half, reciting the myriad accomplishments of the association during the past six years, a vote of confidence and appreciation of his activities was adopted by the meet ing. The idea was expressed that $50,000 could be collected along the Oregon coast for support of the association. Possibly it could, but the Coast High way Association has functioned as no other similar organization has and with only a fraction of the amount those other associations have to spend annually.
