Rep. Cannon
due to leave
on Tuesday
Rep. Kessler R. Cannon from
the tri-county district composed
of Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook
Counties will leave for Salem New
Year's day, to make ready for the
opening of the 1963 session of the
Oregon State Legislature on Jan
uary 14.
' Hep. Cannon, who will be ac
companied to !aiem tomorrow ny
his wife, Blanche, is heading for
Salem in advance of the opening
of the legislature so his son, Rob
ert, high school sophomore, can
enroll for classes starting Tues
day. But Cannon hopes lo make full
use of time available before open
ing of the legislature: He will at
tend the Oregon Dairymen's con-
venuon starling on oduuaiy , anu
i will visit offices of Die state's var
ions departments to acquaint him-
self with problems to be faced by
tile lawmakers.
Cannon anticipates that the No.
1 "headache" will be that con
cerning the state budget and tax
es. The constitutional revision
proposal will probably be prob
lem No. 2. with numerous agri
culture matters, especially the
milk problem, in third place.
"Education will take a lot of
time because of costs involved
and the expanded programs,"
Cannon predicted.
Committee appointments have
' not yet been made, but it is bc
' licved that Cannon will be named
to the House of Representative's
agriculture, natural resources and
education committees. He said he
is most anxious to keep in touch
with residents of the tri-county
area, and suggests that persons
with questions or proposals write
to him, at the State Capitol.
Cannon will report on various
. programs over KBND during the
session, which he hopes will not
last as long as the 1961 123-day
session.
(Topics of bills introduced in the
legislature wiil be available at the
Deschutes County Library in
Bend, at Central Orer,on College,
the Redmond Union High School
and at the libraries in Prineville

Really jumpin'
2644 skiers jam
Bachelor Sunday
By Bill Thompson
Bulletin Staff Wrlttr
Bachelor Butte is jumpin'
and it may be just the beginning.
In the past four days 8,374 ski
ers and 1.006 non - skiers have
Docked to the Central Oregon ski
resort including a record -breaking
2644 skiers (and 326 non
skier) Sunday.
Dave Rasmussen, U.S. Forest
Service snow ranger, reports that
Some snow
falls in area
on weekend
Some snow fell in the high Cas
cades over the weekend, but it
was not the "more than normal"
type of moisture predicted.
Bend received no moisture from
the light storm, but there was wet
hail in the Redmond area Sunday
morning. Flurries of snow dusted
the Government Camp area ear
ly Sunday. Only half an inch of
snow fell at Bachelor Butte.
Gusty winds whipped Bend Sun
day afternoon, stirring small
clouds of dust in various places
as the arid holiday weather con
tinued here.
Showers were reported from
Government Camp early
this morning, and there were
some icy spots on the Willamette
divide. Oregon State Police had
no report from the Santiam this
morning, but apparently it was in
top winter shape.
To the east, the Ochoco sum
mit was clear.
Despite the failure of the pre
Ncw Year storm to bring even
normal precipitation to this area,
weather forecasters predict more
damp weather. Light precipita
tion, mostly Wednesday and Sat
urday, has been predicted for the
country east of the Oregon Cas
cades. Temperatures over New Year's
are expected to be about norm
al in Central Oregon, with highs
in the 40-47 bracket and lows in
the 25-30 range.
Singer Sewing Center will give a
S25 gift certificate to go toward
a new sewing machine.
To celebrate the arrival, the
winning family will receive a
birthday cake from Pedcrscn
Brothers Bakery, and Piggly-Wig-gly
will provide the father with a
box of cigars for announcing the
good news to his friends.
Two chicken or steak dinners
will be given the parents by B C
Cafe, and the mother will be U
guest of the Pine Tavern for a
smorgasbord dinner.
To make these evenings out es
pecially memorable for the moth
er. Central Oregon Beaut;' Col
lege and Elite Beauty Salon will
give her shampoos and hair
styles. Dad will receive a Van
Heusen sport shirt from Cash-
from Saturday, December 22,
through Sunday, December 30,
11,849 skiers and 1,446 non-skiers
have swarmed to Bachelor Butte.
"Sunday the parking lot was
filled and there were cars park
ed alongside the road past the
junction," Rasmussen said.
"But the only real traffic diffi
culty we encountered was coming
in last night when a few cars
started skidding out near the road
that turns off to Wanoga Butte."
Traffic was backed up for about
three-fourths of a mile until the
cars were straightened up.
One of the main reasons for the
big influx of skiers to Bachelor
during the holiday period is that
the Central Oregon resort, only 23
miles from Bend, is one of the
very few areas in the west that
boasts snow.
And, despite (or maybe because
of) the large crowd, skiing re
mains very good. Only new snow
is a half inch of powder which
fell Sunday, but there's plenty of
well-packed snow for good safe
skiing.
Skiing at Bachelor has lured
persons from every part of Ore
gon, along with winter sports en
thusiasts from California, Idaho.
Washington and British Colum
bia. Included among the visitors
were two ski patrolmen from Los
Angeles who came up for a vaca
tion and helped out the local ski
patrol through the four day
rush.
The figures for total skiers were
calculated by use of traffic coun
ter, counting cars in parking lot
and a survey estimating the aver
age number per car.
The traffic count also included
five buses per day from Wednes
day through Sunday (50 per bus).

The blonde, blue-eyed child left
her home to buy some groceries
for her mother. She said she was
going to stop at the home of a
friend on her way to the store.
She never reached either place.
Police first thought she had
made purchases at the market,
but later investigation indicated
the sales had been made to an
other girl. One witness reported
seeing the girl and her dog at the
store, but her parents said the
dog never left the house. .. .
A search party of about 40 per
sons, including 25 Sea Scouts,
searched the area around the
girl's home without finding a
clue. The girl's father, Robert
Gene Minyard of Sandy, and her
stepfather, Samuel Lane, were
among the searchers.
The girl's mother was placed
under sedation.
The missing child is about
three-feet, nine-inches tall and

LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo
(UPI) Fighting erupted between
United Nations and Katangcsc
troops near Kamina today and
Katanga President Moise Tshom

lead his embattled forces.
Swedish and Ghanaian U. N.
soldiers moved out from the big
Kamina airbase 250 miles north

force of Swedish and Ghanaian
soldiers set out for Kamina, an
other seized the village of Mitob
wo and the railroad station and
Lukoka and a third took up posi
tions at three bridges six miles
south of the airbase.
Vows to Rtsist
A dispatch from Salisbury,
Southern Rhodesia, said Tshombe
left there this morning to return
to somewhere in Katanga.
He told newsmen in Salisbury
Sunday he would return and
"lead resistance until tho very
end." He fled Elisabelliville when
U. N. forces took it over during
the weekend.
U. N. planes operating mainly
from Kamina have all but de
stroyed the small Katangcse air
force, catching most of its planes
on the ground. The U. N. com
mand ordered the Katangcse to
turn over the rest of their planes
by Tuesday under a guarantee of
safe passage.
Elisabcthville itself was quiet
today and U. N. forces, fanning
out through other sections of Ka
tanga, were reported meeting lit
tle or no resistance.
Despite Tshombc's warlike
words, U. N. Secretary General
Thant sent word from New York
that no action was to he taken
against the Katangcse president
if he returned to Elisabethville.

prise blizzard, the worst of tlie
century In this section, trapped
thousands of persons today in
northern Maine and New Hump-
shire. Snow was piled to the roof
tops.
The snow, whipped to a face-
cutting fury by winds up to 75
miles an hour, buried curs and
buses and scaled off scores of
communities.
Power was knocked out In
many areas. Hundreds of families
were without heat for hours in 20-
below-zcro temperatures. Snow
drifts were 20 foot high.
At least two deaths were attrib
uted to tho storm, which caught
householders, motorists and ski
ers unprepared. The Weather Bu
