Townsend Club to Give Play
An unusually large crowd was
present for the regular Townsend
club meeting in the Community

fine program, followed by a dance
kept the crowd interested until a

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.

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.
