Plaintiff attorneys Dudley C.

ed, however, that the truck trail
er struck the car on a curve.
Davis maintained the car was
being driven at an excessive speed,
that the occupants had been drink
ing, that the car could not negoti

rear of the truck trailer.
Among the persons testifying,
besides the parties involved, was
an officer who investigated the
accident. Coos County - Sheriff

three defendants on behalf of her
self and two children. She not only
names Santry and Roth as defend
ants, but driver Miller as well.
Another passenger in the car,
William J. Stafford, has also filed
a suit for $10,000 general and St.-

Santry and Roth. Like Spurgeon,
he claims he received permanent
Injuries.
tn the trial just ended, the de

received serious Injuries, but it
was denied that the truck driver

yourself is lost t'orei-r."
The adventure proponent based
many of his comments on his
Arctic experiences as a mounty.
He cited numerous instances
where he had learned positive
thinking from Eskimo friends.
Once in the wastelands of the
frozen northland, he and an Eski
mo guide missed their home ba.se.
Montague eventually admitted he
was lost. The Eskimo did not
agree that he, top, was lost. "I am
here, the igloo is lost," he coun
tered. Such positive thinking, the
speaker avowed, is needed. "Don't
worry about a thing," he noted,
"Your life is where you are."
Montague says he lives each day
as the only day he lives. "Each
may be the last," he said, "and
someday it will be."
He gave as his key to adventure
Ihe following daily rdcipe. A per
son should "live a little, give a
little, learn a little, love a little
and create a little." And learning
to live, he continued, is learning
to love. . . , . ...

Draft Law Extension
(Continued from Page 0e)
hike the present service pay roll
by about 6.7 per cent for salary
and allowances.
At present the government is pay
ing out about $10,500,000,000 for
those purposes. On that bsis, the,
added cost would be about $705,
000,000 a year.
- -s vo'ed on mo-
sage of 1,800 words to the pay
question and a j;ar.a o,
words to his request for continua
tion of the draft law and establish
ment of an improved reserve pro
gram, He said extension oi the selective
service law, due to Expire June
30 "is necessary because exper
ience demonstrates that active
armed forces of the size we must
maintain cannot be raised by vol
untary enlistments alone."
He said too an effective reserve
program to provide a pool of
trained fighting men is necessary
because:
"We cannot possibly keep armed
and in uniform the total forces
that might ultimately be required
in an all-out war. The inescapable
burdens would endan'er the lib
erties and the economic system
we are determined to defend."
Major parts of the proposed re
serve program had been disclosed
late last year by the Pentagon.
The chief feature is a plan for six
months' training each year of
about 100,000 young men who
woujd go directly into the reserve.
In asking a "selective" pay rise
for military men, Eisenhower said
the problem is to keep trained men
in the service. He said only 11.6
per cent of Army personnel re
enlisted in 1954 compared with a
rate of 41.2 per cent in 1949. .
He added:
"Since 1949. there has been one
increase in pay which, along with
increases in allowances, amount
ed to an aggregate advance in
compensation of 5.7 per cent. Mil
itary pay, nevertheless, has fallen
behind that of industry. In addi
tion, supplementary pay practices,
health, security and retirement
benefits and bonus systems are
now widesDread throughout indus
try, and this fact tends to neu
tralize uch advantage as the mil
itary servicesi had in these fields.
"While the high turnover in mil
itary oersonnel is costlv' in dol
lars, even more costly is the loss
of experience and operational ef
ficiency which results from. it.

Fire Destroys
Home At Curtin
On Wednesday
Tn ' spite of valiant fire fighting
efforts by - neighbors Wednesday
morning, the home of Ted Lynam
in Curtin burned to the ground.
' Lynam's wife and small son,
Larry, 4, had just stepped out of
the house about 9 a.m. when the
small frame house burst into
flames, report Curtin News-Review
Correspondent Ruby Meach
am. They saved only the clothes
they were wearing. Lynam was at
work at the time.
Quick action by Mrs. . Lynam's
brother, Merle Clark, saved the
family pets. Clark broke a kitch
en window, despite the intense
heat, Mrs. Meacham said. The cat
and dog belonging to the Lynams
jumned through the broken glass
safely.
Curtin residents pitched in in an
attempt to save the structure. The
volunteer fire fighters , used an
electric pump belonging to Otto
Gregory to poll water from Deer
Creek in a vain effort to quench
the flames, Mrs. Meacham said.
The morning blaze was prevent
ed from spreading to nearby hous
es by volunteers who keot hoses
spraying water on them. Even the
water tailed to prevent the heat
from melting the asphalt siding on
the home next door, Mrs, Meach
am added.
Cause of the fire and extent of
damages has not been determin
ed, according to the correspond
ent. The family reportedly carried
no insurance. The Lynams are'
staying with Mrs. Lynam's moth
er, Mrs. Viola Clark of Curtin.
Lynam is employed by the R

pensation by false statement and
misrepresentation." It was alleged

money on March 13, 1953, stating
he had not worked the previous
week. However, it was brought out
that White had earned $95.40 the
previous week while, working for

Accepts Two Resignations
(Continued from Page One)
member Harold Crouch.-"He said
"inefficiency broadly covers" the
reason. Supt. Cummings added
there was "nothing heinous" about
Akey's actions. .
- Akey had apparently handed in
his application as Cummings re
quested, but the "majority" of
the board was unwilling to accept
it.
According to his statement,
Cummings then handed in his res
ignation. He said the board had
reauested his resignation as a
condition for its acceptance of the.
resignation of Akey. Tnal Drougnt

favorable comment from the
well-mannered crowd. The only
heated words hinged on the failure
of either the board or the men in
volved to discuss the reason ior;
the request for Akey s resignation.
However, when the decision was
announced,- not a murmur arose.
Many agreed it was the best so
lution for what one men termed
"a horrible mess."
Although it took considerable
discussion, the outcome shaped up
early. One board member said the
board had decided retention of
one or the other alone would
cause a "split community." He
said the board had decided to eith
er keep both men or accept both
resignations. Cummings retorted
that he and Akey could not work
another year together. He empha
sized his adamancy by saying "I
can't change what I believe just
to make things pleasant."
Both the board and suoerintend
ent carried the discussion on a
high plane, although Cummings
had explained his position previ
ously. He had said "whenever the
confidence between the majority
of the board and the super
intendent breaks down to a point
where one fails to uphold the pol
icies and decisions of the other,
mutual relations become unten
able." The only retort from the board's
s'de came from Crouch, who said

tion "linttictifttiMa " Qi,,pl,D cl,! .
he had "nothin" personal" againi
either man. 'I like them both," he
said. Lyle Himmelwright, the third
member, sooke not a word public
ly during the entire meeting.
After the decision was announc
ed, Cummings would make no
comment. Akey said he would soon
"be on mv bicycle looking for
a naw job."
Cummings holds a three-year
contract but waived the nay for
two years remaining on the con
tract. Both men plan to finish the
school year at Oakland.

hack into special session to make
drastic reductions in . appropria
tions, chieily those for schools and
public welfare.
To finance the $219,000,000 budg
et, the state needs about $63,000,
000 more revenue.
Geary and Smith believe that it
the people continue getting the
services they want, they'll have to
vote the money to finance . them.
As to the governor's proposal to
deny the federal income tax deduc
tion, Geary said:
"It would be an immoral tax.
It u.niid oe a Ux oil a lax. in
creasing income tax rates would
be a more honest way of doing it."
Smith agreed, saying it should'
be done only as a last tesort.
Geary and Smith said they fear
that a state property tax would
make it hard to collect local school
taxes. The state would get first
claim on its share of the property
taxes, regardless of whether
enough would be left to finance
local activities.
Geary said a state property tax
might cause a "taxpayers revolt,"
and that it probably would increase
the rate of tax delinquencies.
