hospital where Ruth's left leg was amputated due to a cancer
growth. Mrs. Scott, a business woman, served as a nurse

Polk County Crews Work
Hard to Keep Roads Open
Dallas, Jan. 17 Road crews of Polk county are doing their
best to keep county roads open despite heavy snows, according
to County Judge Jack Hayes.
In some cases men and equipment have been fighting what
looks to be a losing battle.
Drifts on the summit on the
Valsetz road are as deep as 20
feet, and a bulldozer has scooped
out what has the appearance of
a tunnel in places. Average
depth on the summit is between
S and 7 feet. The road was not
orjen Monday morning, but
Judge Hayes said a county bull
dozer was working from this
aide and equipment of the val
setz Lumber company was work
ing on the other side. Contact
is made to the community via
the Valley and Siletz railroad.
which runs to Independence
from Valsetz.
In other locations around the
county. Judges Hayes stated
that equipment was being placed
on main roads and in spot!
where emergencies made access
necessary. In one case a road
was cleared to the home of an
expectant mother, and in other
eases where Illness demands at
tention the crews are clearing
roads.
Most of the equipment has
been working in higher eleva
tionf where snow is deepest, but
Judge Hayes states that It will
be necessary to come down to
lower roads and clear roadways
where depth of snow is only 18
to 20 Inches. No private roads
are being cleared except in the
cases of emergency.
Snow at Falls City was re
ported at three feet Monday and
at Valsetz was 41 inches. On the
summit between the two places,
it piles up to extreme depths.
Judge Hayes stated that he be
lieved several cars were strand
ed there Saturday night and
Sunday, and their occupants
were forced to walk to either
Falls City or Valsetz.
Meanwhile, Postmaster Carl
Black warns mail patrons on
rural routes to clear paths to
their mail boxes to allow car
riers to get in. Carriers are hav
ing a difficult time getting
through and are at the point
where they cannot take the time
to break trail to more isolated
b'oxes. Postal regulations do not
require carriers to leave mail at
boxes where no roadway has
been cleared, he states.
Elderberry Plant
Defies Deep Snow
Dallas, Jan. 17 Heavy snows
brought only defiance from a
red elderberry plant, a sprig
of which was displayed by Fe
lix Comegys, long-time resident
of the Ballston district, last
week.
The branch was nicely bud
ded and showed every indica
tion of coming into leaf in a
few days.
The plant Is common in the
coast district, but somewhat rare
In the valley. It is one of the
earliest of the flowering shrubs,
and whether it customarily buds
out amid frost and snow is not
known.

Gustav Krupp von Halbach,
German Arms King, Dies
Salzburg. Austria, Jan. 17 W) Gustav Krupp von Halbach, the
German armaments king who built "Big Bertha" in World War I
and even more deadly guns for Hitler in World War II, is dead.
The 79-year-old head of one of the world s most tremendous
arms industries died at his family estate here yesterday. His full
name was Gustav Krupp
Bohlen and Halbach.
The aged Industrialist had
been partially paralyzed since
the war and escaped trial as a
nazi war criminal because he
was too ailing and senile. Al
lied doctors, at the time the Nu
remberg trials commenced in
1945. said Krupp was suffering
from softening of tne Drain
His wife, Bertha, after whom
the mammoth long-range "Big
Bertha" cannon which bombard
ed Paris in World War I was
named, was said to have remain
ed at his side during his illness.
He died in a small cottage on
the grounds of his huge estate,
Schloss Bluehnbach, the rest of
which is now a recreation center
for American occupation troops
in Austria.
Funeral services are to be con
ducted Thursday In Salzburg.
Born Gustav Halbach In The
Hague, Holland, he married Ber
tha Krupp when he was 36 and
was granted the right to assume
the name of Krupp von Bohlen
and Halbach by Kaiser Wilhelm
II, who attended the wedding.
Bertha was then heiress to the
vast Krupp interests and was
one of the wealthiest women in
the world.
Thus, the son of an American-
born German diplomat married
into and became the successful
head of a network of holdings
which at their peak were esti
mated to be worth from $200,
000,000 to $1,000,000,000.
Both his father and mother
were born In Philadelphia, Pa.
His mother's father, Henry Boh
len, was a northern general in
the Civil war and was killed in
the battle of the Rappahannock.
Gustav, descendant of a Bad
en, Germany, diplomatic family,
gave up a diplomatic career to
become a munitions maker. His
father, though born In Philadel
phia, retained his Germanic na
tionality and was serving as Bad
en envoy to The Hague when
Gustav was born at about the
tune the German Empire came
into being.
