Cirl Recovering
After Suffering
Critical Injuries
A 10-year-old Reedsport girl Is
due for release from Sacred Heart
Hospital in Eugene this week aft
er an amazingly rapid recovery
from critical injuries received in
an automobile accident 'six weeks
ago.
She is Pamela button, daughter
of Mrs. Lee Sutton. The girl was
unconscious for more than half of
her stay in the hospital. She re
ceived critical brain injuries, a
broken neck and chest fractures
when the car in which she was
riding dropped over a 200-foot
cuff on Nov. 21.
The accident occurred along the
Loon Lake Road. The car dropped
into Mill Creek, killing three other
occupants of the car. They were
Will'am Lentz, 36; his daughter,
Judy, 11; and Mrs. Anola Mills,
52, all of Reedsport.
The girl first was taken to a
North Bend hospital, then trans
ferred to Eugene, where surgeons
operated on her. -Three special
nurses were assigned to her..
Pamela was unconscious until
shortly before Christmas.
Before she awoke from the
month - long coma, physicians had
feared that the brain injuries may
have had a lasting effect.
But when she opened her eyes,
a nurse held up a nickel, which
Pamela identified as "five cents."
Then a sister showed her a dime,
and she identified it.
Pamela still faces long months
of convalescense. Her mother has
learned how to care for the girl

In summing up, Stults told the
jury Reson had been drinking on

accused the defense altorney ol

Salmon Harbor Rules
Outlined After Hearing

prosecute the violator had been
rebuffed by a legal flaw in its
authority, the three agencies which
have a direct hand in the opera
tion of the harbor have since
sought the necessary revision in
the county court order which
would provide the board with the
authority to legally and effectively
lodge charges in future situations
of this kind.
Those gathered in attendance
(about 25) at the morning hearing
Tuesday, were almost :n unani
mous consent of the need for such
enforceable regulation.
H. O. Hinsdale, representative
of the Port Commission on the
management board led the way on
the side of stricter regulation for
the board.
Meanwhile, another Port Com
mission member, and representa
tive of the Lower Umpqua Rod
and Gun Club, Leonard Tolman,
was the only one present to actual
ly question the value of further
recommendations in the regulation
of the harbor.
Another stand was taken by an
unidentified Winchester Bay resi

law, but no other improvements."
Other representatives at the
meeting presided over by Judge
Hill of the County Court, to make
significant overtures were: John

Luther Ellison, Roseburg -small-boat
operator at the Bay; L. (Cap)

The principal issue in the dis

basis ot a $250 deposit fee to be
charged each boat owner at the
start of the season as agreed to by
Hinsdale and Wells.
The two representatives agreed
on the figure as a satisfactory
price for weeding out the less pro
fessional type of boat operator.
With a minimum amount of space
from which to operate, the move,
it was felt, would meet the prob
lem of limiting the number of
charier boats operating.
Tentatively left unanswered,
however, was the pressing ques
tion of assigning space on a dock
which has a limited capacity for
11 charter boats.
The problem seemed to be
one for the boat operators them
selves to iron out.
Discussion principally among
Wells, Hinsdale and Attorney
George Neuner Jr., retained by
the management board, centered
around proposals for issuing bids
and the possibility ot a cooperative
effort initiated by the boat oper-
It was hoped by those concerned
that the $250 deposit fee would at
least be instrumental in its appli
cation to the docking problem.
