Evar Elf strom Dies Saturday Evar V. Elfstrom, father of Ro bert L. Elfstrom and Mrs. Foster (Helen) Wintermule, died early Saturday morning at a local hos pital. He had been ill for the last year.

A retired farmer, he came to Salem from Kansas in 1926 and had resided here ever since. His wife, the for mer Annie Johnston, died in 1948.

Child (Continued from Page 1) "bad dream." Apparently, how ever, he climbed on a tree stump in the back yard and somehow hooked his cowboy rope over the clothesline and around his neck. He must have then fallen from the stump, and the jolt of the rope knocked him unconscious, Mrs. Morris conjectured, as other wise he could have stood up. His knees were only a few inches from the ground as he hung there, she said. Breaks Just Right "It was miraculous that he es caped with his life," she said. "All the breaks were just right to save him. I very seldom go to the back bedroom that time of day," she said, "and it was just luck that 1 happened to see him. And nor mally, my husband is never home at that time of day but had just come home to take care of some business papers, so he was able to lift Kerry so that we could free him. I could never have lifted him and freed the rope. He weighs 60 pounds." Most of the people in the neigh borhood work and nearly all the other children of the area are of school age so there was no one else around to see the accident. "And that tree stump will have lo go," she said Saturday. "It has been the cause of some other minor accidents with Ihe children and this is the last." 47 FOREIGN CARS 'Bunnies 9 Prove Festival Highlight Forty-seven foreign cars were started Thursday and stores have on display here Thursday night as part of the Salem Downtown Mer chants Assn.
