Capital JoUrnal, Fri.,' May started to get away from the boys, who managed to scramble onto a pier of the bridge. Here they were marooned until tneir plight was noticed and the Stayton Volunteer Fire Department was called. Traffic on the bridge, a one-way structure controlled by traffic lights, was halted at 6 p.m. Fire men lowered ladders but they proved far too short to reach the boys about 60 feet below. Finally the navy experience of Mike Adams and Charles Clark son came to the fore, and a loop was made In the end of a strong rope. This was lowered to the boys, and each, in turn, .put a leg through the loop and wrapped the rope twice around an arm before being hauled to the deck of the bridge. One of the boys was bare footed, so Harry Stupka, fireman, took off one of his own loafers and sent it below so the boy would not suffer rope burns on the as cent. Others who aided in the rescue were Police Sgt. Leroy Flscus, Stupka and Karl Krcltzer. Greg Jr. is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Greg Robl, 356 W. Water St., and Eddie is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Nuxoll, 412 E. Virginia St., Stayton.
