Nels Osmundson
Saved from Drowning
By Three Boys
A heroic rescue from death by
drowning was the record three Co­
quille boys made at Bandon last
Sunday. The boys were Bob and
\
David Khne and Tommy Martin,
while Nels Osmundson, former Co­
■
quille- resident who with Mrs. Os-
K'».
mundaon has been living at Nature­
land south of Bandog, was the one
rescued.
Mrs. Kline and. the boys went down
to spend the week-end at Natureland
and Sunday morning Mr. Osmundson
went out with them qahing from the
nock which juts out into the ocean
near Natureland.

’
Down on Front street a group of the
business men agreed among them­
selves to watch for overtime parking
by anyone of the group, and whether
his car had been tagged or not, if
one of the group was notified by any
Of the others that he had been parked
there for more than an hour in viola-'
tion Of the city ordinance that he
would voluntarily go to the city, hall
and pay a dollar.
Fred R. Bull was instigate« of the
plan and Monday morning one of the
others caught his car parked on
Front street for more than an hour.
Like a man Fred immediately chased
himself up to the city hall and
coughed up a dollar.
Probably some of the others will
do well to watch Fred’s checking now
on their cars!
Mr. Bull says the agreement has
been In effect there for more than
two weeks and during that time there
has been plenty of parking space on
Front street.
Might be a pretty good idea if the
agreement area was widened and
covered all the business section where
parking is restricted to one hour.
