What to Do When Lost Told
In Pamphlet for Boy Scouts
By FRED E. ZIMMERMAN
V Not everybody can be a Boy Scout, but whoever desires can
learn a great deal of how to behave if lost in the deep woods
or rough mountain terrain by reading a little pamphlet issued
by the Boy Scouts of America.
Information similar to that in the booklet given Girl Scouts no
"Tdoubt saved the life of Ruth
Aberle, 16 year old Kelso girl.
Aptly entitled "Lost, the
booklet gives information as la
procedure to be taken when one
comes to the realization that
he no longer knows his way
back to camp or has become in
volved in a losing struggle with
the ridges and canyons of the
mountains. In addition the pam
phlets give instructions concern
ing the formation and operations
of searching parties.
"Perplexed, bewildered, till
he scarce doth know
His right forefinger from his
left big toe."
This bit of jingle can be ap
preciated by the person who has
had the experience of being lost.
The Scout pamphlet has sound
advice in such instances.
The first thing a person
would do when he comes to the
conclusion that he is temporar
ily 'lost,' is to sit down quietly,
relax and think it over for 10
minutes or more. This gives time
to figure out a few things. Every
woodsman and all authoritative
books agree that sitting down
for a spell is the first and best
thing to do. As soon as the sur
prise and panic abates, a little
looking around and figuring
may solve the difficulty."
Then follows instructions for
the search for a trail in the im
mediate vicinity by blazing a
tree on four sides and then circ
ling this central point at a dis
tance of 75 or 100 feet.
Failing to locate anything fa
miliar, the lost person should go
back to the tree and make his
decision as to the direction the
way out lies. If darkness is ap
proaching it is best to remain
where you are until morning.
Otherwise start at once on a giv
en course after first picking a
landmark. If the proper tool is
available trees should be blazed
on both sides. Otherwise branch
es or bushes can be broken down
as one proceeds. With the first
landmark reached, a second
which lines up with the starting
point should be picked out and
the process repeated. This will
overcome the tendency to travel j
in a circle.
The advice, issued sometimes
by experienced woodsmen to
always follow a stream to ha
bitation," is not always good. It
is pointed out that streams fre
quently flow into swamps or
or drop Into box canyons where
travel, If not impossible, often
is extremely difficult.
Realization that the night
must bo spent in the open ne
cessitates the selection of the
best spot available and then col
lecting fuel for a fire. Naturally
this means dry matches. Exper
ienced hikers usually carry a
water-proof match safe.
'Go to sleep and don't worry
about freezing, even if it is quite
cold," Is the advice of the book
let. "If uncomfortable you will
wake up."
Little dependence can be plac
ed on the moss on bark, lean of
tree tops and growth of vegeta
tion in the process of determin
ing directions. Moss doesn't al
ways grow on the north side of
the tree but will probably be
thickest on the side which is
most exposed.
Search parties should be or
ganized by experienced persons
with state or federal forest rang
ers or game wardens as the logi
cal leaders.
Unless they have been trained
to follow human scent picked up
from shoes or clothing, dogs are
of doubtful value. If used, they
should be kept leashed and
handled by their owners.
Experience has shown that
youngsters come through a
lost ' experience in better
shape than grown persons. This
is particularly true in instances
where the individual being
sought has had coaching In how
to care for himself. In this con
nection it is pointed out that-lost
persons have been known to
hide in fright from their rescu
ers or to run away at their ap
proach. Tho pamphlet "Lost" which is
used as a class book in Scout
camps is a highly informative
booklet one that should be
read by all persons who expect
to stray off the beaten path or
who may have an opportunity to
search for some one.

design.
Daren Pierce
Wins Acclaim
Lebanon, Dec. 17 Daren
Pierce, Lebanon high school art
major graduate, is winning na
tional recognition in the field of
style and design.
From his work in Dorothy
Liebe's New York studio comes
a recent design, featured in ma
ny newspapers throughout the
nation early in December. It is
an after skiing costume of black
jersey slacks with plunge neck
line top and apron of pink yarn
and metallics. It created a sen
sation at the time of its first
showing in New York.
Clare Potter is putting out a
modified version of the garment
in a new line to be featured at
Bullocks on the west coast and
at Bonwitt-Tcller in New York.
Fierce also designed the ski
stole featured currently in the
Dorothy Liebe collection in the
New Yorker, being currently
available at Meier & Frank in
Portland.
The young designer is the son
of Mrs. Frances Slater, 413 Main
street, Lebanon.

HOT WORDS EXPECTED
Will New Steel Prices Start
Inflation on Its Fourth Round?
By SAM DAWSON
New York, Dec. 17 l) Steel prices went up. Will that mean
that the price of autos, bed springs, refrigerators and baby's
safety pins are going up, too? Has inflation started on its fourth
round?
There are going to be a lot of hot words exchanged over the
hike in the price of this basic'
commodity.
Steel executives say higher
prices of steel are simply tne
price of security. The fourth
round wage-price spiral this year
concentrated on pensions. At the
end of the steel strike the unions
won company financed pensions.
Steel companies say the cost of
these funds must be added to the
price of steel.
Union officials contend steel
company profits are so high that
Chrysler to Put
Out New Lines
Detroit, Dec. 17 Wi Four
lines of completely redesigned
1950 model automobiles will be
introduced by Chrysler Corp.
early next month.
This was disclosed at a press
preview of new Chrysler, De-
Soto, Dodge and Plymouth mod
els yesterday. They represent a
Chrysler Corp. investment of
$'23,000,000 in retooling and oth
er production costs.
Chrysler spent $90,000,000 in
bringing out its first redesigned
postwar cars.
K. T. Keller, Chrysler presi
dent, told newsmen that 50,000
of the new model cars will be
completed before the year end.
"Chrysler dealers throughout the
country will have cars waiting
for them," he said.
Chrysler has built more than
1,200,000 cars and trucks so far
in 1949. With increased produc
tion capacity, Keller said, a high
er rate of output has been made
possible in all Chrysler divisions.
They should count on reaching
a daily output in excess of 7,100
cars early in the new year, he
said.
Of the various new models,
Keller said all were new "from
bumper to bumper." New grills,
new front fender mountings,
longer rear fenders and a new
grouping of tail lights and stop
lights are among new styling
teatures.
Elliott Roosevelt
Gets Speeding Ticket
Poughkeepsie, N.Y., Dec. 17
m Elliott Roosevelt got a
speeding summons last night
while driving through this com
munity on his way home to Hyde
Park, N.Y., from New York City.
The summons is returnable to
day before a justice of the peace.
A Poughkeepsie radio car pa
trolman said Roosevelt, second
son of the late president, was
driving 55 miles an hour in a
35-mile per hour zone.
It is the second speeding ticket
Roosevelt has been given here.
He paid'a $10 fine July 27, 1948,
for driving 50 miles an hour
through a 35-mile zone. He
pleaded guilty.
the cost of the pensions could be
absorbed by the companies with
out hurting them. And they cite
the president's fact-finding
board's report on the steel labor
controversy, which they inter
pret as backing them up in this.
Earnings of 21 leading steel
companies in the third quarter
of this year totalled more than
$108.6 million, compared with
$120 million in the same three
months the year before. In the
second quarter of this year earn
ings were $123.4. Fourth quar
ter earnings will be hit by the
steel strike. But U. S. Steel corp.
reports that its mills are now
operating at 100 per cent of
capacity, and its president, Ben
jamin F. Fairless, thinks this
pleasant state of affairs will
probably last until the middle
of next year, at least.
The new price of steel was
just announced. Manufacturers
all over the country are inter
ested perhaps even more this
time than in any year since
the end of the war.
That's because this time they
aren't so sure they can pass along
to the customer, as they were
able in the past, all -of the ad
ditional cost to themselves of
making their products. Competi
tion is the factor they can't be
sure about.
The buyers' market has sent
many of them scrambling to find
ways to cut cut their prices, has
sent all of them searching for
ways to' cut their production
costs. The rise in the price of
steel will be a headache for
every manufacturer using it.
Automobile makers, using
great deal of their product, will
have to scan price lists for their
new models again. The auto
makers, still on the crest, are
nevertheless nervous about how
much longer it will be until com
petition begins to nibble ser
iously at the car price structure,
too.
The basing point problem will
probably be given a new fillip
also. Steel companies used to
price their products with an
eye of equalizing the costs to
manufacurers whether they were
near or far from the steel mills.
The federal trade commission
frowned on this practice, and the
steel companies began pricing
their products right at the mill
and letting the distant customer
pay the freight. The far-away
customer didn't like it, naturally.
A compromise on this dispute
has been reported nearly work
ed out.
The west coast has long been
eager to expand its growing iron
and steel industry. New England
has been agitating along the same
line, with its eye on the iron de
posits in Labrador.
The higher steel prices go,
the more interested steel custo
mers will be saving whatever
they can on freight charges.
Freight rates have been going
up, too. And that, along with
pensions, is one of the reasons
given for hiking steel prices
again.
