Al though they wouldn't care to go through the experience again, they said they were glad to be able to be of assistance to the snowplow driver, Giles Omart, who suffered from exposure to the elements, and might have per ished alone in a blizzard-swept cut 14 miles west of Santiam junc tion. Mr. and Mrs. Wood started back to Bend from Corvaliis .Friday morning. They were towed to San tiam lunction Saturday at 12 noon, and arrived In tsend Satur day night. About 17 miles west of the Junction, they had fallen in behind a snowplow and followed the equipment until It bogged down in heavy snow and was un able to proceed. The Woods' car was stopped about 100 yards be hind the plow. The snow plow driver invited the couple to wait with him in the truck, where he kept the motor running to warm the cab. No Help Forthcoming The driver's shift ended at 4 p. m., and he said that when he didn't report in, help would prob ably be sent from the junction. At midnight no help had come, and the truck's gasoline supply was exhausted. A five-gallon can of fuel that the Woods had carried for emergencies and had taken with hem to the plow was emp tied Into the tank, and it was ex hausted at 2 a.m. The three made their way back to the parked car, struggling against the blizzard and stopping to rest about 10 times. The driver, nearly exhaust ed, had difficulty in getting his breath, and the Bend couple help ed him to their car. They succeed ed in starting the car, and were using the dwindling fuel supply to run the heater when another snow plow approached from the east at about 2:30. A snow blower arrived a short time later, and for two hours, the three pieces of highway equipment were stuck while the men worked to dig them loose. A service car arrived later and towed the Woods' car and one of the plows to the junction, where the highway crew served hot coffee and food. The Bend couple later followed an oil truck from the junction to bisters. Contractors (Continued from Page 1) Ace Electric Co. The conference was to continue this afternoon.
