By the Associated Press. 3 Dreams of a small firz-razed com- munity in Oregon for am ideal town without unsightly alleys or trafic haz- ards appeared today to be nearing realization Representatives of Bandon-by-the- Sea sought Federal funds for rebuild- ing—streamlined—the lumber town which forest fire wiped out overnight on September 26, 1936. As the Senate considered a disaster loan act amendment which would | make Reconstruction Finance Corp. | loans available for 1936 as well as 1937 disasters, Bandon enthusiasts renewed | their efforts. The House has passed the amendment. The Utopian plan was adopted unanimously last month by Bandon's stranded population, new living in tents and temporary buildings on sites of their former homes.

TWO SOLDIERS TO GET AWARDS FOR BRAVERY Mr. Hansen War Department Announces Medals for Heroism in Res- cuing Drowning Persons. Two awards of the Soldier's Medal have been announced by the War De- partment, both for heroism in rescuing persons from drowning. Pvt. Mike H. Barsosky, Headquar- ters and Military Police Company, 1st Division, was awarded the medal for heroism in jumping from a steamer at Battery Park Landing, New York, last September, to rescue a man who fell from the vessel. Barsosky was born in Johnstown, Pa., and enlisted at Union, N. Y. The second award was made to Pvt. Curtis C. Fanning, Battery D, 83d Field Artillery, for saving a Civilian Conservation Corps enrollee from drowning in the Fort Bragg Reserva- tion, N. C, June 5, 1934. He is a native of Neeses, S. C.

The city can not offer security for the approximately $500,000 loan it seeks. It can offer ability to b Boulevard 200 Feet Wide. | The new Bandon-by-the-Ses, ac- cording to plan, provides: No straight streets except the axis, a 200-foot boulevard extending a mile to the sea. Others are curved. Residential blocks a quarter of a mile long without intersections. No alleys, but all power service (telephone poles, lines, etc.) at rear on property lines. Four U-shaped business areas for 15 units each, built scientifically with harmonizing architecture at a loca- tion between residential and indus- trial sections. Each store to have windows and entrances at front and rear, with parking areas at rear. A triangular arrangement of build- ings designed to intrigue travelers passing on the highway left a quarter of a mile distant in order to prevent traffic dangers. Experiment in Safety. “It is an experiment in traffic safety,” said Gable. “It will be pos- sible for a child to go to church, school, the library, movies or down- town without crossing any main- traveled traffic arteries. “It is an experiment in mass build- ing. Both business buildings and apartments will be built according to the plan. Quarter-mile strips also are reserved on two sides of the city —the ocean bounds one side—to pre- vent shacks and hazards which might mean another fire.” Bandon, a town of 1,500, is 300 miles south of Portland. The flames de- stroyed 500 homes, 250 business places, library, grade school, city hall and records, and the bank. The fire which razed the town is expected to assist its revival. Gable said that in its sweep down the coast flames topped trees and killed millions of feet of standing timber which must be cut and marketed within the next few years.
