Airman First Class Charles E. Gibson, who has attained his pres ent job and rank in the U.S. Air Force after a year's service with the USAF. first entered the Army I in July, 1940 in Los Angeles. He uad graduated from high school j in his home town, Denver, Colo-1 raUu. in 1936. j Although most of bis prior serv-! ice was with the Army Medical! Corps. Gibson served with the U.S. I Army Air Force during World i War n when the Air Force was j a branch oi the Army. After enlisting he was stationed for some lime at March Air Force I Base, Riverside, California.

However, lack of size is com pensated for by the fact that the fur is finer. "The average otter will measure about 40 inches before skinning." Smith said. "The one I got would be considered medium-large." He traps each winter season along the banks of the Klamath River, doing much of his work from his boat. Since, the muskrat season opened last November 15, be has shipped 265 muskrat pelts getting as high as $1.45 for some of the larger ones.

FRANK BROOKS New Resident Learns Piano By -PHYLLIS Bl'ELL LAKE VIEW Being a very mod est person, Mrs. Frank Brooks would be surprised if someone told her she was an exceptional per son to be learning piano at 68 yeans of age. Always dresinlne of the day when she could take lessons, Mrs. Brooks has finally the time, the piano and the correspondence les sons and it is little wonder that such a plucky woman is making a success of her piano playing al though off to a late start. Newcomers in the community, Mr. and Mrs. Btooks had few friends a year ago In Lakevlew but now their circle of acquaint ances is widening. They go to the Church of Christ service each SUnday and to a weekly Bible class. And who Is asked to play hymns before end after the serv ices . . . Mrs. Brooks, of course.

Before coming i to Lakevirw she worked for six yeara for Hutchison Bros., makers of school athletic equipment, in Cincinnati, Ohio. She was an In spector of footballs, baseballs, i gloves and uniforms. After she left the Job to return West with Mr. Brooks, Russell Hutchison, her former boss, told her It took! two younger women to do the work she had done. Because oi her kino-: ly ways, she was known at the j factory as "Mom" and also as "Mammy Yocum." i Former Oregonlans, Mr. and Mrs. Brooks lived at Mill City 1 when they were first married and later farmed at Sublimity, Ore gon, before going to Kentucky and then to Ohio, searching lor a cli mate that would help his health. One of Ihelr sons, Raymond Grind staff, lives in Lakcview. Flying through her housework at ner nome at 401 south V street, Mrs. Brooks practices her music daily. Laughingly she states. save my hymn playing for the hours Mr. Brooks la home and do the exercises and scales when he's shopping uptown." Her advice to anyone who wants to take lessons is simply, "Do It. Only she cautions, "Don't expect too much at first and don't get discouraged."
