about taking the bird to bed with
her but was afraid she might
crush it in her sleep.
"So I staved up and breathed
on her to keep her warm."
Mat hart said " This morning she
looked at me. whistled, and
said. 'Pretty girl ' That told me
she got through it C )k

Freezing rain blamed
for deaths in car crash
PORTLAND (AP) — Two people died in a traffic crash Sat
urday us freezing rain created treacherous driving conditions
across much of northern Oregon.
The fatal crash occurred about 2:30 a.nt. whon a small car
northbound on Interstate 205 in suburban southeast Portland
slid out of control and crashed into a concrete pillar.
State police identified the victims as Michelle Pugh, 22, and
Jason Mann, 21, both of Cottage Grove. Pugh's three-week-old
daughter and two other adults in the car were hospitalized in
fair condition.
Pugh and Mann wore riding in the right side of the car.
The car crashed into one of the pillars that carries Johnson
Creek Boulevard over the freeway.
Pugh was pronounced dead at the scene. Mann died a short
time later at University Hospital.
The crash was the most serious of many that were reported
because of freezing rain that fell in the Portland area. A 10th of
an inch of precipitation was recorded at Portland Internation
al Airport, "which is quite a bit for freezing rain," said Craig
Schmidt, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service.
Early Saturday, conditions were hectic at the All emergency
dispatch center in Portland.
Supervisor Garol Yetter said there were reports of numerous
traffic crashes, many of them involving jackknifed semi-truck
and trailer rigs. She said ambulances were busy responding to
injury accidents.
"Older people are going out to get their papers and falling,"
Yetter said.
The ice melted in the Portland area later in the day as tem
peratures warmed.
Motorists had been required to use chains on Interstate 84
through the Columbia Gorge early in the day but that require
ment was later lifted.
More rain was forocast Sunday, but warmer temperatures
were expected to keep it from freezing.
