In addition to the timetable on the invasion, the high command was notified in August, 1949, that two divisions of Kofean troops which had served in the Chinese communist army had been sent to North Korea from Manchuria. In December, three more divisions arrived from Manchuria. These veteran troops were distributed in various detachments of the 13 d i- Linotype Operator ------ Z Pressman ---------- Job Printer “It was a good thing,” the man from Arago said contemplatively Saturday afternoon, as he stood in the myrtle grove near the Com munity building, “this whole celebration. Sort of like the ‘Corn Show’ but modernized a bit, and it was certainly about time that Coquille started bringing back some of the fine things of the past. We all liked it, the whole Fall Festival, and the barbecue was especially good, too." Our friend who was a guest of Coquille for the two days of the First Annual Fall Festi val was only echoing the conversation we heard all over town Friday night and all day Saturday. The Fall Festival was liked. It was enjoyed And it is wanted back again. Wanted back again very deeply. Tribute to the men who made the Festival successful is certainly in order, and it is a long list, too. Tribute surely should go to some of the "older heads who like Fred Lorenz, Bert Fol som, Sam Nosier, Orvin Gant, Bill Ferbrache and many, many others had been telling us all that the Com Show was a celebration that everyone enjoyed and liked, and why not again? Tribute, too, should go to the people who took part in the Fall Festival from the kiddies in the pet parade, to the men and women who ran the concessions in the basement of the Community buiding. Yes, they all deserve the, utmost in praise for a Fall Festival that was'highly entertain ing, exceedingly successful, and a perfect starting point for the perpetuation of a classic custom of Coquille and Southwestern Ore gon. The Fall Festival grew out of the com mittee named by President Noble Chowning of the Chamber pf Commerce. It was head ed ably and efficiently by Stan Sherwood as general chairman who had among his help ers, Clarence Osika. Dick Maeyeart, Lloyd Wood, Lloyd Claver, Ernie Kuntz, Mrs. Helen Holmes, Eiarl Linge, Fred Lorenz, Bill Head, visions, ostensibly to train regu lar emmbers o f the N orth Korean army fo r the coming war. • • Brownie Scout» Will Be Organized Thi» Week An organizational meeting to get the Brownie Scout troops fo r Coquille running smoothly w ill be held under the auspices o f the Coquille G irl Scout council Wed nesday evening at 8 p. m. in the Community building.

Taking the brunt of the work, however, were' Stan Sherwood who spent endless amounts of time on the barbecue that served 2500 people Saturday, and Clarence Osika, executive secretary of the Chamber of Com merce, who spent all of his time taking care of the planning and details of the celebration. We’ve left out some names no doubt of Co quille citizens who aided the celebration. It’s hard to mention every one, hut need wq^ say-more than the Coquille Fall Celebration proves the oft-said point, that Coquille would welcome a Fall Festival and a reincarnation of the old Corn Show. From now on, Coquille will have an an nual Fall Festival. And that’s good. ESTIMATES AND COUNSEL ORDERS FOR FINE PAPERS V.
