POMEROY ON STAFF
Ramsey Realty, 2084 Rivercrest
Dr., has announced the addition
of T. D. (Tom) Pomeroy to its
sales staff.
The Marion County Court was
advised Wednesday by County
Engineer Hedda Swart that build
ing a footpath on Lansing Avenue
for the convenience of Washing
ton Grade School children was
impracticaL
The court had been requested
to build; the path in a letter re
ceived from Edwin W. Butler,
2215 Jelden St
Butler had sought a. construc
tion of a path similar to the one
financed by the county for Morn
ingside pupils. This latter path
was built on South 12th Street at
a cost of about $8,000. Swart said
Wednesday that he would sug
gest addition of 25 mile-per-hour
speed signs on Lansing Avenue,
but he said that the area near
the School is properly marked.
In! other action before the court
Wednesday, a letter was received
from Mrs. Ralph Schmidt Silver-
ton. ; requesting the addition ot a
wig-wag signal at the intersection
of Lancaster Drive and the South
ern ! Pacific railroad company's
Geer Branch line near Four Cor
ners!. Mrs. Schmidt said in her
letter that she and her family
were nearly hit by a train at this
crossing recently.
Swart advanced the theory that
motorists travelling along the rel
atively straight Lancaster Drive
have a tendency to come upon
the jcrossing unexpectedly. Should
a wig-wag signal be installed the
cost would be shared equally by
the ! railroad company and the
county.

Scdepi Parents Seek Help j in
4-Month Search for Daughter

A teen-agers fancy in running away from home almost four

Westin, 540 N. 14th St, ax time slips by witheut any word of their
missing daughter. j '
Still listed as a runaway on police "missing' lists is 16-year-old
Gail Westin, who left borne last Sept 27, ostensibly to see a movie
with two girl friends, and hasn't
been heard from since.
Westin explained that his com

been very cooperative in their
help, but as days, weeks and
months have ticked by without

Left Movie Early,
Reviewing the last time he saw
his daughter, Westin said that
she and two friends left to see an
afternoon movie on Sept 27.
"When she didn't come home that
night we called the police. They
found out the girls had gone to
the movie, but had left early."
To this date, whereabouts of the
girls remains a mystery. (Parents
of the other two girls have re
quested they be left anonymous).
Westin, presently unemployed,
said he has spent all the money
he has access to in pursuing every
possible j angle or hunch as to
her whereabouts. However, neith
er he nor officers of the city or
county police or FBI agents have
uncovered any indication of where
she is now,;
Four Months of Worry
Fears of foul play or the pos

sort of difficult situation haunt
Westin'sj thoughts, he said. "My
wife and I : have had almost four
months itol worry over the loss
of our only child," he explained.
from his own investigation,
Westin Said he has learned that
the girls s apparently left the
movie early and went to Port

tnen oeueves they returned to
Salem, but; where they went then
is still unknown.
