Ed Walker In
Charge Of Station
Due to the heroic efforts of Miss
Jean Polsen, techer of the second
grade in the new Washington build-
ing, two lives were saved last Friday
evening. Three ladies, Mrs. Ernest
Wardrip, Mrs. Harry Godard and
Miss Polson were chaperoning IS
camp fire girls at a swimming party
above Broadbent Juanita Wardrip
got out in water over her depth and
had gone down twice when Mrs.
Wardrip reached her. The little girl
climbed on her mother’s back and
both were going down when Miss
Polson reached them and pulled them
out. Mrs. Wardrip was so far gone
that inspiration efforts were neces­
sary to bring her back to conscious­
ness. But they were successful and
no other damage was suffered except
a frightful scare.
Surprised On
, His Eightieth
Birthday
A change in the management of
the Coquille Service Station became
affective recently when Archie O.
Walker stepped out of the position
and was succeeded by E. A. Walker.
There was no transfer of corpora­
tion stock, the former still retain­
ing his interest in the two service
stations.
A. O. and E. A. Walker have oper­
ated the Coquille Service Station for
the past 15 years and a few months
ago opened a second station across
the street from the one they pur­
chased in 1924 and which had been
enlarged and improved since.
Archie has not yet announced what
he intends doing and Ed says there
will be no change in the well-known
policy of complete automotive ser­
vice which the Coquille Service Sta­
tion has practiced for half a gen­
eration.
