BACK FROM Lutherans Plan Outdoor Service 2 - P o - t Orford Naw«, Thurtday, July 15, 1965______________ . How Fast Can You Die United Pre« International, in a »obering and terri fying word-picture of what happen» when an auto strikes an Immovable object, asks and answers that grim ques tion. Here isUPPsslow-motion,spllt-secondreconsttuc- tion of what happens when a car traveling 55 miles an hour, crashes into a solid, immovable tree: ONE TENTH CF A SECOND The front bumper and chrome "frosting" of the grill- work collapse, Silver« of steel penetrate the tree to a depth of l i inches. TWO TENTHS CF A SECOND The hood rises,crumples,smashes into the windshield. Spinning rear wheels leave the ground. The fenders come into contact with the tree, forcing the rear parts out over the front doors. The driver's body continues to move forward at the vehicle's original speed (20 times th e normal force of gravity, his body weighs 3, 200 pounds). His legs, ramrod straight, snap at the knee joints. THREE TENTHS CF A SECOND The driver's body is now off the seat, torso upright, broken knees pressing against the dash board. The plas tic and steel frame of the steering wheel begins to bend under his tenrible death gripi. His head is now near the sun visor, his chest above the steering column. FOUR TENTHS CF A SECOND The car's front 24 inches have been demolished, but the rear end is stilt traveling at about 35m iles an hour. The driver's body is still traveling 55 miles an hour. The ha If-ton motor block crunches into the tree. FIVE TENTHS CF A SECOND The driver's fear-frozen hands bend the steering col umn into an almost vertical position. The force of grav ity impales him on the steering shaft. Jagged s t e e l punctures lung and intercostal arteries. Blood spurts into him luiygs. The Oregon Road Rat is a nice guy afoot. I t ’ s only when m otorized that he becomes obnoxious. A typical act: he use? his horn If the car ahead fa lls to move the Instant the light turns green. (Oregon T ra ffic Safety Commission) __________ Daughter Teaches S IX TENTHS OF A SECOND The d iv e r's feet are ripped from his tightly-laced shoes. The brake pedal shears off the floor board.T h e chassis bends in the m iddle, shearing body bolts. The driver's head smashes into the windshield. The rear of the car begins its downward fall, spinning wheels digging into the ground. SEVEN TENTHS CF A SECOND The entire, writhing body of the car is forced out of shape. Hinges tear,doors spring open. In one last convul sion, the seat rams forward, pinning the driver against the cruel steel of the steering shaft. Blood leaps from his mouth, shock has frozen his heart. He is now dead. TIME ELAPSED, SEVEN TENTHS OF A SECOND. Compton, C a lif., Police Journal—1964 Justice Office Needed \ recommendation by Curry county attorneys that the local Justice of the Peace office be elim inated by abolishing the Third District m eets with our disfavor. The attorney's action reportedly came about this week on learning of the :esignation of Justice Arthur F. Nie mann. It is also reported that closing the Justice office in Brookings was included in their recommendation. That office is also being vacated by the resignation of Justice Hans Nelson. It is apparently the feeling of county attorneys that all court business should be centralized in Gold Beach through the District Court (die District Court was es tablished to assume the duties of the Gold Beach Justice Court and relieve the over-burdened Circuit Court) and because of the lack of professionally qualified people to serve as Judges inju stice courts. However, closing these J us t ic e Courts, besides throwing additional cases on the District Court, would m ean that Northern and Southern Curry residents would be forced to travel to the county seat for everything from answering traffic and game citations and other minor cases to getting married or seeking satisfaction from minor wrongs. This would m ean extra time and expense to c iti zens, plus placing die extra burden of about 30-40 cases per month on the District Court Judge. The Justice Court is the people's court. We hope the County Court will le t the people retain it. And A fter The Fourth To The E ditor: As one travels the C urry Coanty roads Into the scenic back country, he frequently runs into a stretch of dusty, rough, unkempt road that is not at all In keeping with the enormous amount of money budgeted by the county court fo r upkeep and Improvement of county roads. An example of road neglect Is seen In the poor condition of the Wlnchuck R iver Road and more p a rtic u la rly , the many pot holes and break throughs In the sections that have been black- topped. Near the 101 Wlnchuck bridge Is a rough, dusty, 100- /oot stretch of county road that Is much b e lo w the 1955-65 standard and Is symbolic of the ancient variety of long ago. F u rth e r on, as the road winds Its way up the Wlnchuck River, which Is one of the few rive rs In C u rry that locals as well as t o u r i s t s enjoy exploring the wonderful natural grandeur of the marvelous back country, are numerous pot holes and rough spots In the road and places where the blacktop surface has eroded considerably on the bor ders. On a tw o-m ile section, Just after It leaves the highway, the road has been blacktopped to only the width of a car and a half, which is anything but mod ern and a headache to those who tra ve l over It. F o r over a m ile from Elk Creek to the beautiful picnic and camping area maintained by the Forest Service, the road Is ruch too narrow and dan gerous to tra ve l over. The county court should have this road Improved. Yours fo r better roads and better government at a better p ric e . Let's face it, the recent July 4th celebration did not m eetex p ectatio n s.. . by local residents and visitors alike. Not that there w eren't some phases of it up to par, however. But, it was meager in its total production because itwas judged in relation to past year's celebra- M. L. DeMARTIN Harbor, Oregon Despite the feeling of local folks that it was too much work" and "not worth the effort, " people from far and near had come to feel that Port Orford was the place to go for gala Independence Day activities. Visitors thisyear were displeased because there was no Battle of Battle R ock.. . or Indians to harass th e m .. . or a big colorful p arade.. . or a horse show.. . or a m o torcycle hill clim b. These were only some of the com ments heard from people who had traveled many miles to enjoy the local celebration. They came because they had heard of it or attended it before. But they left, dis appointed or down right angry. It is unfortunate. W e only hope that next year the reigns w ill be picked up again and we can put on a celebration that will bring these people back with a change of heart. . . On the other hanu, the celebration can be consi ered a success, regardless of the absence of many events and the lack of community participation. This is be cause the Jaycees, probably the smallest club in town, refused to say "die, " and went ahead with activities -’earedforyoungsters.lt took a lot of hard work by less Sian ten members, including help of JayCettes, and a budget of nearly SI, 000, S600 of which went for the free fireworks display. On top of this they split profits from their food stand with mothers of the Little League baseball players, for their help in the concession. Members of the Jaycees and JayCettes are to be commended for this unselfish effort to keep alive the celebration and we trust there vd 11 be no denying that the community owes them a much deserved, from -the- heart, vote of thanks.

Zastera report that in a recent le tte r from th e ir daughter, M rs. A r lene Bennett in Salisbury, Rho desia In Southern A fric a , she wrote that she Is teaching In a high school In one of the suburbs of Salisbury. The school is fo r A frican youngsters whose parents are employed as servants to th e white fam ilies livin g In the town. The school Is run entirely with volunteer teachers, all of whom have college degrees. M rs. Bennett, a graduate of W illam ette, said that there are not enough government schools to care fo r the number of native children, and that some of the fa m ilie s have to leave th e ir children with relatives in their n a t i v e villages many miles away. If the village Is fortunate enough to have a school at all It includes only the firs t six grades. Only the ones living near big towns can expect to get a high school education, and native students with very exceptional grades are the only ones considered fo r admittance to college. M rs. Bennett, with her hus band, D r. Robert B. Bennett and th e ir four children, went to A fric a In February where D r. Bennett was sent on appointment by the United Nations Educa tional, Scientific and C ultural Organization (UNESCO)to teach in the U niversity College of Rhodesia. The school year sta rts in March in A frica as that Is the fa ll of the year. It Is now winter and M rs. Bennett reports the daytime tem perature as around 70 degrees, but that they have been told that it doesn't get much higher in the summer.
