the paper. Friday night. Editor
Marie runs the firs' page off on
her hectograph duplicator, which
is a small cookie sheet. The print
er's ink consists of brown sugar,
glycerine and gelatin. On Satur
day she runs the second page, and
on Sunday, the third page.
The reason for the paper being
printed on three different days is
that it takes about 12 hours for
the duplicator to fade away so an
other page can be printed.
As soon as the complete paper
is dry. Mane and her family de
liver it to local subscribers. The
rest are sent by mall to such far
away places as Eagle Point, Med-
ford, Myrtle Creek and Kennewick
Wash.
Deadlines Met
The first copy of "The Detective
Data" was printed on Sept. 9, 1961
and has kept right on schedule, ex
cept for when the "one-girl staff"
has been sick.
Name of the paper was picked
for the detective club she and her
sister, Sarah, and two brothers,
Curtis and Denny, had organized.
Soon, she began distributing it to
others.
Marie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Benson Deatherage, has also been
writing plays for several years,
and then producing them, with her
brothers, sisters and herself acting
the parts.

Relative Of Coral Snake
Was Likely Seen By Duo
When is a coral snake not a cor
al snake? When It is a banded
king snake, and Douglas County
has lots of them.
That was the oninion of Robert
Sherman, 1313 SE Overlook, who
has done considerable study of
natural history as a hobby.
When he read in Tuesday's
News-Review that a Roseburg par
ty saw what they thought was a
coral snake, Sherman got out his
natural history books to confirm
his belief that what they actually
saw was banded king "nake,
which is harmless.
The similarity is so striking that
it is often difficult to tell them
apart without close observation.
Note Different
Both have rings of a similar col
or, but differ in pattern. The prin
cipal difference, however, is the
appearance of the nose. The coral
snake has a black-tipped nose,
said Sherman.
His textbooks show the coral
snake as having bands in a pat
tern of black, yellow, red, yellow
black. The banded king snake's
is black, red, black, yellow. They
are similar in size, being of slen
der body. King snakes in various
parts of the country range from
18 inches to 5 fret in length. The
coral snake usually does not get
that large.
Coral snakes are found in the
plains of the southeast near sea
level, and the western coral snake
with slightly different coloring,
lives in low places of southern Ani
ons. The World Book Encyclopedia

Oregon's Industrial Future
Is Bright, Says PP&L Man
Oregon is advancing very rapid
ly in the field of new industry,
L. P. Growney told the Roseburg
Kiwanis club Tuesday.
But the future for industrial ex
pansion is even brighter. The
growth to date, he srid, is barely
a starter as compared with what
may be expected.
Growney is industrial develop
ment engineer for Pacific Power
and Light Co. PP&L was merged
with the California Oregon Power
Co. recently and presently is sup
plying the Copco system.

Auto Accidents Kill
2 Women In State
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Two women died Tuesday of in
juries suffered in separate Oregon
highway accidents.
Thelia Ann Kimbro, 26, Esta
cada, was killed as her car left
the highway four miles south of
Sandy after striking a guardpost
at the Deep Creek Road junction.
She was alone.
Mrs. Olive Damitz, 51, Roseville,
Calif., was injured Monday and
died Tuesday of hurts suffered as
a car pulling a trailer went out
of control on the Salem Bypass.
The deaths increased Oregon's
traffic toll in 1962 to 167 in the
Associated Press tabulation.
Robert Doak
Robert A. Doak, 65, of Canyon
ville, died at his home suddenly
Tuesday night.
Doak was born Aug. 2, 1896, at
Clarksville, Tex. He married El
Dera M. Baugh on June 14, 1931,
at San Antonio, Tex.
The deceased came to the Myr
tle Creek area in 1946 from Holly
wood, Calif. He had resided in
Canyonville for eight years.
He worked for the Umpqua Val
ley Telephone Co. and California
Pacific Utilities Co. since 1949, re
tiring last September.
Doak was a World War I veter
an. Surviving are his widow, two
sons, Robert A. Doak, Jr., of Port
land, Conn., and Donald, serving
with the U. S. Army; his mother,
Mrs. Lelia Doak of Bellmont,
Calif., and a brother, Ira, of Pasa
dena, Calif.
Funeral services will be neia in
the chapel of Gam Mortuary, Myr
tle Creek, at 2 p.m. Friday. Inter
ment will follow at the Masonic
Cemetery at Canyonville. The Rev.
Don Campbell of the Methodist
Church will officiate.
Joe Boris
Joe Boris, 75, resident of t h e
Oakland area for 12 years, died at
his home there Tuesday night.
He was born in Italy July 19,
1886. Surviving are his wife, Cora;
a step-daughter, Mrs. Buck Reed,
Oakland; three step-grandchildren
and two step-great-grandchildren.
He was a m""nber of the Jehovahs
Witnesses.
Funeral arrangements are pend
ing at the Sutherlin-Oakland Mor
tuary. IT PAYS TO

NEWS-RFVIiSW
points out that some harmless
snakes look much like coral
snakes. It lists two facts that will
help identify them. In coral snakes,
the snout is black and the bands
of color extend right across the
belly. In nearly all other snakes.
the belly is not colored like the
back. i
Snake Deadly
The coral snake is deadly. It
doesn't have fangs, but chews its
victims, grinding in the venom,
which acts on the nerves, said
Sherman.
King snakes, of which there are
several types, make up a group of
very close relatives, all of which
prey on other snakes, says the
World Book. These reptiles are
harmless to man. They are some
what immune to snake venom and
do not hesitate to attack and eat
rattlesnakes. But it is not true that
rattlesnakes and other poisonous
species are the king snake's sworn
enemies. King snakes also fre-
quently eat rodents and other
small furred animals. They kill
their prey by coiling around it and
squeezing it to death, the source
says.
The king snake often takes an
aggressive attitude, similar to that
of the coral snake, but seldom
strikes unless cornered. However,
its bite is harmless to man.
Other calls were received by
the News-Review expressing t h e
opinion the snake seen by Mr. and
Mrs. Lester Wilson of 660 W. Hag
erty St., Roseburg, was a banded
king snake.

research and engineering the pow
er company is doing in the various
areas in which it is engaged. Con
siderable work has been done in
the field of engineering and mar
ket study, he reported, telling bow
the studies are paying off in the
way of new industrial activity.
Coal Use Studied
Discoveries into the use of coal
now are in the pilot plant stage
in Wyoming, he told the Kiwanis
club, and probably will lead to de
velopment on the Eden Ridge de
posit. He told also of the extensive
exploration to locate water in the
dunes area at Coos Bay; how this
led to one pulp and paper plant
with other operations pending.
While a few companies have
moved into Oregon, Growney said,
85 per cent of Oregon's industrial
growth springs from a local base.
He cited some of the major com
panies developed by Oregonians
and Oregon investment.
Wood, he asserted, is Oregon's
major resource, but he tdvised
that uses other than lumk.-r rapid
ly are becoming the chief economic
products of the woods industry.
Plywood, paper, particle board
have a far higher return than lum
ber, he said. He anticipates many
new products in the wood field.
Tailoring Needed
He stated that the industry must
"tailor its products to consumer
needs.
"We must convince potential cus
tomers that our products are serv
iceable, modern and better than
similar products made from com
petitive materials," he declared.
The coming demand for building
materials will place a heavy load
on the timber industry by 1970, he
predicted.
Another field for industrial ex
pansion was discussed, the speak
er stating that the processing of
food offers a great opportunity.
Oregon's vegetable production in
1961 was more than a half million
tons for fresh and processed mark
ets a 13 per cent increase over
i960. California s population growth
offers Oregon's agriculture a real
challenge, he asserted. Growncv
spoe particularly of PP&L's plans
to expand the livestock market
through methods for finishing and
packing beef.
Quality Stressed
He stressed particularly the
"quality" of Oregon products,
pointing out that consumers every
where are aware of the quality of
tne goods, services and projects.
He also praised Oregon for its
water, education, research, taxes,
government, livability and other
factors that, he asserted, give the
state a plus status as an attrac
tion to Industry in coming years,

Peace In Laos
Two Years Off
VIENTIANE, Laos (UPD-Dip-lomatic
sources predicted today it
would take about two years to re
store genuine peace in Laos de
spite agreement among the three
rival princes on a coalition' gov
ernment. The most formidable task will
be to integrate the armed forces
of the three factions right-wing,
neutralist and pro-Communist Pa
thet. Laos under the new govern
ment which will have neutralist
Prince Souvanna Phouma as pre
mier. Most diplomats and officials of
the present pro-Western govern
ment of Prince Boun Oum believe
the new coalition regime will be
more of a negotiating committee
than a real government.
It will be formally invested
Monday by King Savang Vathana.
The necessary documents were
signed Tuesday at Hang Hay, on
the rebel-held Plain of Jars.
Along with integrating the armies,
the coalition also will have to
work immediately on achieving
the withdrawal of all foreign
forces and advisers.
One of the most vocal demands
of the pro-Communist rebels has j
Deen tor me ousier oi mc several
thousand American military ad
visers who have been aiding the
forces of the present government.
Under terms of agreements
reached earlier at the 14-nationj
Geneva Conference on Laos, each !
of the three factions will continue
to run its own affairs until the
terms of the agreement are car
ried out.
This means they will retain mil
itary control of the areas in
which they now operate, and
fighting could break out again.

Communist Radio Says Soff&f
Defected Because Of Army Life
SEOUL. Korea (UPI)-Pyong-yang
Radio reported today that
a U.S. soldier who left his post
near the demilitarized zone in
Korea almost two weeks ago has
defected to Communist North Ko
rea because of his "humiliating
life" in the Army.
The Communist broadcast iden
tified the soldier as Pfc. Larry A.
Abshier, 18, whose home address
was listed by the Army as the
Illinois Soldiers and Sailors
Home. His father, George O. Ab
shier, li"es in Garfield Heights,
Ohio.
The father's home address is
9909 Broadway.
The broadcast said Abshier
"came over to North Korea un
able to endure the prick of con
science and repress indignation
at the doings of the U.S. Army
in South Korea and the humili
ating life in the U.S. Army unit."
Leaves Post June 2
On June 2, the young soldier
left his post at the edge of the
two and one-half mile wide de
militarized zone which divides
North and South Korea. His com
rades said he was headed for the
Red sector.
It was not known until today
whether Abshier actually had de
fected. U.S. military authorities
in Seoul had indicated earlier
that there was a "good possibil
ity" he was hiding out in South
Korea.
The Pyongyang Radio broad
cast did not say what date the
youth crossed over, but it said!
he "came over to North Korea
recently."
The Communist text carried a
number of anti-American remarks
attributed to him along with some
direct quotes.

"The American soldiers." he
was quoted as saying, "are the

The radio said he told the Com
munists that American Army of

as if the war was going to break
