Probably the most appreciat

the armed services is that part
of the program which provides
for service personnel netting
emergency messages to Vietnam,
arranging for emergency leaves,
providing for loans to get serv
icemen home for emergencies,
and giving other assistance.
The Red Cross Is the only or
ganization that Is authorized to
perform such services. Mrs. Ted

the war has Increased, the ben

their families have Increased.
Many stories could be told of
the good done through this part
of Red Cross work, but most of
them Involve matters of fam

In addition to local activities,
the Red Cross carries on its dis

other disasters.

but no serious injuries were
sustained by the eight persons

Phil Doherty of Heppner. A
fourth car was driven by Sandy

The fifth vehicle involved
was a Dlckun truck, last In line.
This crashed into the rear of
the Matheny auto, but the dri
ver pulled away and lelt tne
others in the dust.
The storm whipped up sud
denly and caused Cox, blinded
by the dense dust, to stop. John
son came up behind and stop-
Ded without hitt ine the Cox au
to, and Dohertv followed, also
stopping In time. The Matheny
car crashed into the rear of the
Doherty car, with a telescopic

was not learned.
"You just can't imagine how
bad the dust was," Johnson

John Mollahan, Morrow county
sheriff cautioned this week.
"During pleasant spr t n g
weather, so welcome after the

Sheriff Mollahan explained
that special dangers exist at the
beginning of a rainfall, espec
ially after an extended dry
SDeil. These include blowing
sand and dust in addition to
the highway surface covered
with a mixture of rain, dust and

Animals Week Set;
Pet Homes Sought
Efrem Zimbalist Jr. is Nat
ional Kindness Chairman for
1.969, according to Thomas C.
Justice, president of the Denver
based American Humane Assoc
iation. Zimbalist stars in "The
FBI," one of the top-ranking
series in television during the
last four seasons.
The 55th national Be Kind to
Animals Week, May 4-10, will
highlight the year, Justice said,
in cooperation with the Oregon
Humane Society.
Gene Burgess, executive direc
tor, Oregon Humane Society, said
that this year's BKA Week theme
asks people to give a pet a good
home, to adopt a pet during
May.
"However," he cau t i o n e d,
"many families actually do not
want to live through the trouble
of owning pets, nor are they
equipped to care for them."
"Certainly we want to place
millions of animals nationally
during Be Kind to Animals
Week," he said, "but only in
homes where they will get the
best of care, all year 'round."
Many such animals are avail
able from the Oreson Humane
Society. "We will be happy to
offer a pet to any home where
it will receive good handling all
of the time," he said.
Be Kind to Animals Week
was launched 55 years ago bv
The American Humane Assoc
iation and has been observed in
Oregon by the Oregon Humane
Society.
