Fire Department To Serve Subscribers Only
Oceana residents and out of town subscribers may see different service after acting mayor J. C. Hurst announced the Oceana Volunteer Fire Department will serve only subscribers on out of town calls. Fire Chief Oscar Morgan said the move follows unpaid billings and a current protection plan remains in force for subscribers. The policy change aims to ensure prompt service and adequate funding through possible options such as a levy, general fund, or resident assessment.

Search Begun For Overdue Nina Sailing Ship
The Coast Guard launched a search for the Nina, a 40 ton replica of Columbus’s ship, overdue on a 1492 voyage retracing from Spain. Seven crew including a Saturday Evening Post writer rely on 15th century methods, with navigation by sextant and no longitudes. The Nina left Los Palmas October 28 and was last reported at 22 degrees, 57 minutes latitude, aiming for San Salvador on November 16. A radio beacon asked merchant vessels to aid. Storms in the Atlantic worsened risks for overdue ships.
