buildings ire setting new
roofi. L. K. Cornwall, local con
tractor, is replacing roofing on
the two buildings with a liquid
asbestos roof coating, patented
under the name "Battleship."
Mark Rousell, water proofing
engineer for the manufacturer, de
scribes it as an elastic material
which contractu or expands with
weather conditions.
The Medical Arts building Is
getting a complete new roof. The
old one has been torn off and
is being replaced with a conven
tional three-ply a prime coat, as
bestos seal, and, after curing, a
finish reflector aluminum coat,
to reflect the heat away, rather
than absorb it.
Rousell said checks have shown
that in 102 degree temperature
some types of roofs absorb heat
up to 275 degrees. The Battleship
process reduces the temperature
during hot weather inside build
ings, lie said.
The Newt-Review building Is
having the new roof laid over the
old one. Recently roofed with
this process it the new building
on Main Street, just south of the
City Hall, erected by Harry Par
geter. Miller's Store building alto
hat been reroofed.
Two Fugitives
Sought By Prison
WALLA WALLA I A tecond
inmate escaped from the Washing
ton State penitentiary Wednesday
as authorities searched for a man
who fled Tuesday.
John Liba, about 32, escaped
from a prison farm outside the
walls. Warden John Cranor re
ported. Cranor said guards saw
him running down a nearby rail
road track.
Liba, serving a term for second
degree burglary from Pierce Coun
ty, previously had been committed
to Eastern Washington Hospital at
Medical Lake for observation.
Meantime the search continued
for Gene Kensler, editor of the
prison publication, The Outlook.
Kensler, a trusty, fled Tuesday
while on an assignment to write
a story about the prison game
farm. ,
A letter to Cranor, found in
Kensler's cell Wednesday, ex
plained why he escaped with only
six months of his sentence left.
In the letter, the fugitive said
he feared he would be returned
to the Oregon State prison when
his term at Walla Walla was com
pleted. "When you have done 11 years
in one sitting in Oregon," the
letter said, "the thought of having
to return gnaws on a person's
mind to the extent it almost de
praves it."
Kensler, now 29.' served a term
nn a grand Jarceny- conviction in
Portland. .Oregon authorities have
listed him as a . parole violator.
In addition, Seattle police have
issued a "hold" order for grand
larceny against Kensler.

You can join in the fight to prevent forest fires by crushing out your
cigaret ... Be sure it is out . . . before you throw it away.
. Then you know it can't possibly start a fire
which may destroy thousands of trees and con
tribute to our annual $40,000,000 forest fire
toll. This is important whether trees are large
or small, for young seedlings are our forests,
of the future.
Keeping Oregon green is a task for all, for forests contribute greatly
to our comfort and security!
REMEMBER
One Tree Will Make Millions of Matches...
One Match Will Destroy Millions of Trees...
