The Coquille Valley AN VOL. XXXVU. INDEPENDENT Sentinel NEWSPAPER CO4 VILLE. 0008 COUNTY. OBEGON. THUMDAY. NO. 37 Car A Complete Wreck—Two Not Much Injured One of the most completely wrecked cars ever brought in to the Southwes tern Motors was the Plymouth be longing to Mr. White of Brawley, Calif., which left th«j dike about half a mile below the Russ bam shortly before noon, Tuesday. The miracle of it was that neither Mr. and Mrs. White were seriously in jured. He was bruised somewhat and was a little burned by acid, but she was not injured, - The car hit among tiie boulders on the upper side of the dike and rolled for 75 to 100 feet before stopping. Its top was ipashed down, most of the windows were broken, the front axle was set way back, the sides, fenders, etc., were caved in and mashed. The couple were on a vacation trip up into Washington and Mrs. White was driving at the time of the acci dent. She glanced down to pick a lighted match off the floor and when she looked up was in the loose gravel alongside the puvement and could hot straighten the car out before it went over the embankment. Glenn Stanton Is The Architect I J. N. Gearhart and O. L. Wood re ported at the Chamber of Commerce meeting In the hotel Tuesday noon as to what they accomplished when the party of five from here, the others be- Jng L. W. Claver, Marc Shelley and S. V. Epperson, went to Portland last week to consult Glenn Stanton, ar chitect. in regard to the plans for the new Community Building. Mr. Stanton's first figure was $»oo -3 per cent on a $30,000 cost—but ,after various items, already cared for( had been pointed out and he learned he was not expected to be supervising architect in charge, bis final figure was $250. lie said he had trad considerable experience with community building construction, anti expresed amaze fhent that a small city the size of Coquille was able to put over auch an ambitious building project. He was especially told that the acoustics of the building should re ceive his careful consideration, well "a* the strength and solidity the roof and walls.' The ceiling of the auditorium is to be 20 feet above the floor, with Fi ‘ir- tex laid over plywood, curved at the junction of walls and ceiling, and every effort will be made to the end that voices on the stage can be heurd at every point of the large room. 14 Selectees From Valley Next Monday Traveled 5000 Miles Following is a list of the 14 selectees who will be inducted into the U.

Bunch, chairman of the Selective Service Board No. 2 of Coos county, with headquarters at Myrtle R>int, points out that some of the registered young men may have'to be turned in as deserters unless tliey inform the board of their present whereabouts. Mr. Bunch states that about 25 letters to selectees telling them when and where to report for examination have been returned to t^p board because the postal depart ment could not locate the men to whom the letters were addressed. The regulations require that tlie registrants notify the board of any change in address. 1 Riveria Is Not Yet Closed While the workmerflhlve been busy in the McMahonbuildfng, corner of Front and Hail for the past ten days, taking out partitions and get ting it ready for the Eagles' to use as a lodge hall, the Riveria has not yet quit business.

The Chamber of Commerce spent considerable time Tuesday noon dis cussing the possibility of turfing the football field at Athletic Park, along the west side of the park, and plan ning for the construction of bleachers, 75 feet long by 22 feet deep. Supt. B. W. Dunn made the sug gestion, and asked if those present thought it could be put over, that 400 season tickets be sold for $2.50 each, the tickets to insure the holders a seat in the bleachers-for the game. A rough estimate was that the bleach ers would cost around $1,000. No decision was reached as to whether the attempt to secure seats for this year's football season or not should be made, the matter being left in the hands of Mr. Dunn's committee. Coach l,eslie spoke on the turfing question, citing the case of Duane Terry who suffered a fractured collar bone in scrimmage because of the con crete-like ground. J. N. Gearhart, who had surveyed the site, reported that there was about six feet difference in elevation be tween what will be the north and south ends of the gridiron, which would mean moving of about 3500 yards of earth. County Agent George Jenkins talk ed on the soil condition there and stated that Highland Bent would probably do better there than any other grass for turf, but suggested that it should be fertilized and that a thin covering of top soil would assist in securing a better turf. With the interest the Chamber of Commerce is taking in this turfing project it is probable that by the 1942 football season, Coquille High will have a grass-covered gridiron. Coos Cranberry Co-op To Start Picking Monday Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Morrison, who were up here from their cranberry bog near Bandon yesterday, said that while some of the smaller bogs were already being picked, most of the owners plan on starting next Monday. They do not anticipate any shortatge of help in harvesting this season's •rop and the Coos Cranberry Co-op erative will probably pick as many boxes as it did last year, about 30,000. Mr. Morrison said it was one of the four largest year's crops for the co-op. The first sales were at $2.75 a box. There are seven or eight berry pick ing machines in the county which seem to work perfectly satisfactorily except for the McFarlin variety. A machine will do the work of seven or eight pickers. Mrs. Morrison said they had wired their daughter, Mrs. Loas Gulseth, who has been in southern California for the past seven weeks and now has a position at Bakersfield, asking her if she could come up and supervise the harvesting on their bog as she has done for the past several years.
