Chicago (LP) More than 180 per sons died violent deaths in the unit ed States during the rush and ex citement accompanying the double holiday that resulted from Memorial day falling on a week-end. Of these, more than half were killed in auto mobile wrecks. Swimming holes and airplanes took their tolls. There also were the Inevitable holiday shoot ings. Several were killed In freak accidents. The weather played an Important part, both In swelling the toll of dead and in keeping It down. Rains Saturday kept thousands Indoors who otherwise would have risked their lives on the crowded highways, but the same rains soaked the pave ments and led to deaths In skidding auto. Cool breezes In ninny sections- on Sunday held down the number of deaths by drowning. In the east how ever, It was hot and it was there and on the west coast that most of the drownings were reported. In greater New York, one person died of the heat and two more were prostrated. New Record Is Made In Ascent Of Mountain By Portland-Salem Party Establishing a new record in mountain climbing, a party of four, including one woman, ascended the North Sister Sat urday and scaled the pinnacle over a month earlier than any previously known ucent. - The re- EXIT (Continued from Page 6) ftlr of selfishness that provoked the villagers to wonder "what the child would come to." In the years of their childhood, Tony and his little girl neighbor were often together, but she was no more to him than his other boy and girl playmates. He did not become ronsclous of her until tile year before they graduated from the public school. Tony was 14; Harriet was two years younger. She had been a grade behind him but that year she caught up with his class so that thry would gradu ate together. One evening when we were sit ting In the summer twilight the old gentleman said, "It la strange how that part of my life when I was an actor, seems to me, now, to be only a dream." And then he continued aa 'though he had forgotten my presence: "But my childhood and youth which I spent here In Or chard Hill with Harriet those years of my life are very real." They who pride themselves upon being too sophisticated and worldly-wise to Indulge In sentiment will laugh with hard laughter at this old man's me.norlea They will say that Antonio Latour's story Is senti mental bosh. Well, of this I am convinced: All normal men and women who have truly lived do have such emo tional mrmorie,. And I believe, too. that If the truth were known, the heart experiences which these world-hardened critics so carefully hide are the dearest treasures of their years. As for what are termed the realities of Ufe do not fear. Be fore Antonio Latour's story Is fin ished you shall hear enough of be trayals, and robberies, and mur ders, and tragic death. (To be Contuaatd) glster on top of the pinnacle r; vealed that the earliest previous ascent of the mountain In any year was on July 6. In the party making the ascent Saturday were Robert Donaldson and Dr. Richard 8trahl of Portland and Miss Augusta Notdurf and Richard Upjohn of Salem. Seven hours were consumed In Saturday's climb for the party to reach the peak of the pinnacle from tlmberllne. Start was made at 3:10 In the morning. A wonderful moon which appeared as giant disc to the climbers, Illuminated the moun tainside and gave them assistance, although at times flashlights were necessary. The base of the pinnacle was not reached until 6 o'clock. Go ing around the base of the pinnacle a very steep snowfleld was encoun tered and use of the rope was re quired as well as considerable step cutting. The chimney of the pinnacle was ft mass of Ice and members of the party literally cut their way to the top with steps cut In the Ice being necessary nearly every foot of the way. As a result uiree hours were re quired In the ascent of the pinnacle Itself, a task which some members of the same party accomplished In about 30 minutes at a later date last year. The party could not linger long at the summit as It was necessary to get down before the sun had made Its way around the pinnacle and started to loosen the Ice. In fact, when the party had returned to the base of the pinnacle they were being sprayed by bits or Ice shat tering from falling chunks. On the way down after leaving the base of the pinnacle It was neces sary to follow along the rldgc, or a series of little pinnacles and while so engaged they saw one of the most spectacular sights of the trip. when. below them, an enormous avalanche broke away, carrying thousands of tons of snow down the mountainside. While all the members of the party have ascended many peaks thev stated they had before seen no sight quite equivalent to that avalanche. ine moon also afforded some marvelous spectacles The giant disc. 1 like silver, presented ft wonderful sight as It made Its way over the pinnacle, but as it was disappearing before the sun. It afforded some of the most beautiful pictures they have seen, reported the mountain climbers. It descended through banks of clouds and half submerged In them converted the clouds Into the appearance of ft vast silvery and fleecy lake. The scene was one of indescribable beauty, they stated. The party reported that while camped about two and a halt miles above the snow line before the start of the ascent, and snow lay In deep banks all around them, nevertheless It was quite warm during the night before their early morning start. They returned to Salem about mid night Saturday. Donaldson and vpjonn are mem bers of both the Maiamas and the Chemeketans. Dr. Strahl Is mem ber of the Maiamas and Miss Not durf of trie Chemeketans. Upjohn and Donaldson expect to lead ft group of college students and ft few Chemeketans up Mt. Hood June 13 and la and Upjohn also plans to head a party up Mt. Jefferson July 3, 4 and 5. This party will be an of ficial Chemeketan climb but other experienced climbers may Join It.
