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.
"My parents don't like the idea
of their son going to the Gala-
Si II.

Street Cuts
Explained
Pavement cuts along Broadway
between High and Olive Streets
in downtown Eugene were ex
plained Friday by the Eugene Wa
ter Si Electric Board.
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.
Second Fiddle
ANCHORAGE, Alaska Wl
President Eisenhower will
play second fiddle to the An
chorage dog races Sunday. -
Radio Station Keni said it
will carry the President's
broadcast on defense policy
on a delayed basis so it can
broadcast the races as they
are run.
pagos, but nobody would," Bcttis
says. 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.
