THE BEND BULLETIN. BEND. OREGON MONDAY. DECEMBER 22, 1952 PAGE SIXTEEN Illness Finally Succeeds Where Threats Failed By EUGENE MlLOLOHUX 1 '(United Pre titaff Currtwpunilent) IRVINGTON, N. J. (IB Illness hns succeeded where pleas, threats and offers of aid failed to move un aged couple from a battered automobile they called "home" for the past tnree years. Mrs. Emma Betzinger finally made the decision to leave her "house on wheels" ufter her 61 year-old husband, Henry, suffered a series of heart attacks and was forced to go to the home of a sis ter at nearby Iseun, N. J. "We've rented a couple of fur ; nished rooms and will move in shortly," the 71-year-old woman said with a heavy sigh. She had hold out all these years for two reasons to bent high rents and in hopes she could again have a home ol her own wnere she could use her furniture. The two rooms won't do that. Bothered No One . Irvington police were well aware ot the couple s odd mode of living, but always were reluctant to take any action against them. ' Detective Lt. Howard G. McPoek said the Betzingers violated no health ordinances. The only possi ble charge he could have brought against them, he said, would have been for loitering. "But they never bothered any- . body," he added. "If somebody complained about them, they just moved to a new parking spot.'' McPeek said' the Betzinger car usually was parked either outside u diner, where they would ear, or next to Peter Wondel & Sons, Inc., an auto body shop where Betzinger worked as a night watchman be fore he became ill. Deckle to Leave The firm,, he said, allowed the couple to use whatever facilities were available in the plant and they often slept there. Since early November, however, Mrs. Betzinger has been living in the car alone. McPeek said ho ar gued, cajoled and even mildly threatened her but to no avail Finally she decided she would have to have some place where she could take care of her hsuband and decided on furnished rooms. "She's very nice, very cleun and very alert," he said. "It would have done no one any good to have mude a fuss about it as long as they didn't cause trouble. "I guess they just can't afford the four or five unfurnished rooms they need for their furniture. Not the way rents are those days." Battle Vet Gets Delayed Diploma CAMBRIDGE. Mass.
