the North Koreans had increased
their strength from 8 to 13 d iv i
sions.
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

“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

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

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.
