buzzed with speculation today
that Rita Hayworth and Prince
Aly Khan are expecting a baby.
Talk began after Rita appear
ed to swoon at Longchamps race
track Sunday when her horse,
Double Rose, lost the coveted

Good Deeds
Bring Reward
Good deeds do not always go
unrecognized. And as a result of
the Salvation Army's campaign
to find the boy and girl in this
community who have acted in
the emergency, Leonard E. Ham
mer, Jr., of route 7 and Marga
ret Given of South 13th street,
will be permitted to taken part
in outings at the Army's Trestle
Glen camp east of Oregon City.
Leonard, aged 14, did his
good deed when he used pres
sure of a thumb to stop the flow
of blood emerging from a wound
on his sister. Keeping his thumb
on the wound and holding a ba
by brother under his other arm
he ran to a neighbor's home
where a doctor was summoned.
The child was rushed to a hos
pital while the boy then called
his father and mother and in
formed them of what had hap
pened. Leonard's scout training
was responsible for his action.
Margaret's act also involved
an injury. She is a member of
a family of seven children, five
brothers and a sister. She acted
promptly when one of them re
ceived a badly cut foot.
Judges for the "good deed"
project, the first to be sponsored
by the Salvation Army here,
were Arthur D. Hay, supreme
court justice; Rev. Dudley
Strain, pastor of the First Chris
tian church and Lt. Barbara. So

REMEMBER SALMON BEACH?
Advice to Leave Little Town
After Landslide, Still Ignored
By HOWARD APPLEGATE
Salmon Beach, Wash. (U.R All but a few of this tiny commu
nity's 300 residents, told to "get out as fast as you can 2V4 months
ago, are still living here. And they intend to stay.
Early April 16 an earthquake-
loosened cliff hurled a cnunk
of earth the size of a football
field into Pudget Sound with a
loud swooshing roar, missing
the nearest home only a few
yards.
Residents woke up, saw that
no homes were wasnea away,
and went back to sleep.
The next few days, however,
produced a series of inspections
and near ultimatums that had
the usually-calm folks here in a
dither. Gov. Arthur B. Langlie,
after studying geologists reports,
told residents they should leave
'as fast as you can .
A few did. But most of them
stayed behind because they had
no place else to go and all they
owned was here.
Today, Mrs. Carl Phltzen
meyer, who with her husband
runs the only grocery store here,
said, "we've got as many cus
tomers as ever."
"Most of those people who
moved out during the scare mov
ed back when the clamor died
down, she said. "I'd say all but
3 or 4 families were still here.'
Salmon Beach is separated
from Tacoma by a high bluff
which rises 400 feet above the
water. The community is on
the beach below the bluff. Ge
ologists, declaring the area un
safe, said a heavy rainfall or an
earthquake might cause a land
slide which would wipe out the
community.
"No one even talks about the
landslide anymore," Mrs. Phit-
zenmeyer said. "That old bluff
looks the same as it did 12 years
ago. As for those cracks in the
cliff they were so worried about
they re always been there in
dry weather.'
All that is left to remind resi
dents of the landslide is a small,
new "island" just offshore. "We
don't give it a second thought,
Mrs. Phitzenmeyer said. "The
less said about the landslide the
better."
"They'll have to come out and
kick us off before well leave
she added.
