The Coquille Valley
Goes Well Over
- Its Red Cross Quota
The .Coquille Valley area was the
first part in the county to turn in its
quota, in full, for the Red Cross
** __
__ _
Four day»
before _
the _ drive
closed in the county arxTnstion, Ed.
Stelle, chairman, and Lou Hazard,
drive treasurer, for the valley area
delivered to the county chairman In
Marshfield a check for $3,373.23,
which was eleven per cent more than
the highest quota ever levied ,bn
this trade area to raise for this pur-
' pose. The money is still coming in,
we are told. The total from this
area which includes Arago, Fair­
view, McKinley, Riverton and part
of tiie North Bank road ditsrtot, may
run close to $3,600 instead of the
$3,000 quota which looked so large
when the drive, started.
The drive chairman says that our
ability to reach this goal came from
the universal response of both com­
munity workers and the donors in
each community.
The most out­
standing aspect of the money-raising
campaign, he says, was the one hun­
dred per cent of the dairy farmers
in the Arago, Fishtrap, Fat Elk and
Hall’s Creek territory who gave an
. aggregate of $514.90 when canvassed
by their untiring community chair­
man, John D. Carl.
That whole-
hearted response through the Arago
Cheese co-op group was must heart­
ening to the committee handling the
drive.
The generous response uf nearly
one hundred per cent of the men in
die Plywood Veneer and Shook
Workers Union No. 2691 when can­
vassed by Noble Rovang, S. S. Har-
denbrook and Chas. Butler, as well as
the like response of the Timber A
Saw Mill Workers L. U. 8770 who
were contacted by W. J. Mineau,
Sam Harmon and Joe,Campbell, was
equally fine.

'■
in fact Uwt was the way the drive
was hnndled
There were a num-
her of very helpful single donations
of 850 and $25-and one of $109^-
but by and large the fund was raised
by the thorough work of over 50
hard-working men and women who
missed very few people in giving
everyone ar) opportunity to assist
The chairman, and the local com­
mittee, want to thank each and ev­
ery workFr again, for his or her un­
tiring effort. So many of the women
did such an outstanding job that it
would be difficult to mention the
work of each separately. The big)
job of calling on all residences in
and around Coquille fell to the wom­
an’« committee under Mrs. J. R.
Bunch. Mrs. Fred Kunz’ group of
women’s canteen workers took over
a large part of the town, while Mrs.
Jack Dojan’s women’s ambulance
group did a big job in manning the
booths at Penney’s and at the bank,
while Mrs. Dolan also devoted th»
last three days of last week to “mop-
* ping up” on suburban areas.
* The men in the various Fairview
and McKinley logging caifips came
through so well that it is hard to
say which did the best but the men
in Aasen & McCue’s camp seem to
—
have a little the best of it------- — —
The McKinley residential area,
commanded by Mrs. Kenneth Han­
sen, also did an exceptionally fine
job of supporting the drive.
This was not just a Coquille ef­
fort; it was a fine response of the
whole Coquille valley — with as
much or more credit due to the show­
ing of some of the smaller neighbor-
hoods mentioned above. -

Sanford Heights
Water Co-op Formed
At a meeting in the city hall here
last evening a co-operative was
formed for the purpose of purchasing
and installing a pipe line from the
city limits of Coquille to the San­
ford Heights district, a distance of
about 2,000 feet. The organization
is to be governed by a board of di­
rectors, consisting of George P,

The money to finance the project
will be raised by each property con­
tributing $50.00 for each residence
and $25.00 for each additional resi­
dence owend by the same person.
Half of the necessary subachriptlon
was signed up before the meeting ad­
journed. It was the concensus of
opinion of the property owners pres­
ent that the owners not present
would alao give their whole-hearted
support financially. It is now ap­
parent that the district will get an
ample water supply from the city of
Coquille, whose council previously
voted to extend the water supply to
this district providing the property
owners purchased anrf installed the
water mains.
After the war Is oyer and build­
ings can again be erected, it is pos­
sible that a number of new residences
will go up in this district.

Red Cross Helped
Secure A Ride
Just as a sidelight on what the
Red Cross is continually doing to
make the boys in the service more
comfortable and happy, Mrs. D. C.
Krantz reports that their son. Ser­
geant Dee Krantz, recently home on
a furlough, says that it was the Red
Cross which enabled him to spend a
few extra days in Coquille. He had
air transportation purchased for the
trip west from the Atlantic coast, but
was foroed to give up his scheduled
seat by priorities of officers and
others an duty who had to make the
trip.
The Red Cross came to his res­
cue. however, both coming and go­
ing. by securing him passage on
bombers or other army craft, an aid
which he could not have secured
by himself.
This la but one of the thousands of
ways the Red Cross looks after the
soldiers, sailors and Marines before
they get into active service, sa well
as after they get to the fighting
fronts.

As explained by the officials at­

landing field with nearly a mile of
runways— 5100 feet—and one which
will stand up under the heaviest
planes with full load, both during
and after the war.
In discussing tfie requirements for
this type of airport, one of the at-

adjacent to Coquille, and spend the

his grandfather’s in Nova Scotia were
about to be settled up and if he could
prove his relationship that he was
the only beneficiary. “I’m the last

He told the attorneys who wired

to go east for the settlement and
make claims to the estates, but the
lawyers have convinced him that it
would be to his interest to do so,

Wanted To Wrestle
With The Officers
Chief of Police Jack Arnold is
nursing a sprained ankle, received
yesterday afternoon when he fell on
the inside stairway at the city hall
while taking Ross Elwood down.
The latter, who lives at Millington,
was under the influence and was re­
fused when he attempted to buy at
the liquor store here.
The chief
told him to stay away from the store
but pretty soon he was back there
and the chief took him in charge.
He went peacefully enough but
when they started down the steps to
the cooler Elwood developed a wrest­
ling streak and did not want to go.
Sam Epperson, who came to the
chiefs aid, received a glancing Mow

blows aimed at him, but in the scuf­

Elwood posted a 810 check for his
appearance in the recorder’s office

show up the bail was declared for­
feited.
