Going to Galapagos Islands Eugene Youth Joins Colonists Stanford Bcttis, a 19-year-old Eugene youth, will leave home Sunday on the first leg of a journey that will likely prove to be the biggest adventure of his life. Young Bettis has been accept ed as a stockholder in the cor poration that is attempting to establish a colony on the Gala pagos Islands off the coast of South America. "Sure, it's a big adventure, par ticularly for someone my age," Bettis says. "But at the same time I am looking for a future way of life." Bettis Is the son of Mr. and Mrs. K. W. Bettis, 1156 Patterson St. He graduated from South Eu gene High School last year and has been attending the University of Oregon since fall. Among other things, he is an Eagle Scout. He said he became interested in the venture when ho read about it in the newspaper. He went to Seattle, talked with Cap tain Don Harrsch's "seconds" and other colonists and became con vinced. I His parents and an uncle foot-' ed the $2,300 bill for a share of stock in the corporation and hes on his way Sunday.

Separate projects are being un dertaken to install cable for new street lights, for an underground power distribution system, and for a new 8-inch water main. Explanation of the work was made to all Broadway property owners and occupants in a letter sent Friday by Byron Price, su perintendent of EWEB. The cut near the north side of Broadway is for the 8-inch water main. The center cut will be for installation of a high voltage un derground wiring system. The cut along the south curb will house street light cables. "Unfortunately, it is not feas ible to install all such cables and pipe in one ditch," Price said. "We are scheduling and coor dinating the work so such incon veniences as blocked parking spaces, reduced traffic lanes, and so forth will be at minimum." Chicken Feed Alleged Unfit The General Insurance Co. of America charged in a Lane Coun ty Circuit Court complaint Friday that Swift & Co. in 1956 manufac tured a chicken feed ingredient that was "unsound and unfit," causing illness and death to a large number of chickens. The company, in a suit to re cover $8,416 in damages, said it insured the Crabtree Feed & Seed Division of Centennial Mills, Inc., in May, 1956. Centennial Mills, the suit said, received an ingredient from Swift 4 Co. known as "Tallow Pre Mix," a substance to be used in the chicken feed sales business. The plaintiff said that under its iusurance policy arrangements with Centennial Mills it had to pay $8,416 in claims to several customers of the firm to cover chicken losses.

However, they agreed to go part-way on the cost, and Bettis says he will pay them back out of the profits of the venture. He and about 60 other colonists plan to leave Seattle about March 15 for the Galapagos on the West ern Trader, "a sound ship com pared to the Alert," Bcttis says. At present, the Alert, carry ing the first pioneers to the island, is holed up in Los Angeles Harbor for repairs after taking a battering in Pacific storms on its way south. Why should a young man, with most of his life ahead of him,! choose to live on an island? j "It's a chance for a whole new way of life," Bcttis says. "Nobody is trying to escape anything here. It isn't a bad world we live in,! but we feel we can better it. Perhaps other countries will see this and take note," he says. Echoing the philosophy of the leaders of the expedition, Bettis I says that "we are going to take: the best of our culture and com bine it with the better points of I the humanistic sciences in what! we hope will be a constantly im proving environment." Bettis, commenting on the com munal aspects of the colony, ad mits that it's "a kind of social ism" or a cooperative. However, Bcttis has studied so cialism and believes it has its I good points. j From the outside, the colonists! "look like a bunch of crackpots who are running from life," Bet-I lis says, "but this is not so." I "We have people other than failures, such as doctors and den tists, who are giving up a good life to go." Bettis just relumed from Se- attle, where he was given a two hour oral examination to find out! if he is "compatible" with others in the group. The exam costs $25,; he says, so this rules out people who are just curious. Docs young Bcttis plan to stick it out on the island for the rest of his life? Time will tell, but he likes to look at it that way.
