Lake Road Last Monday ; for Valley People. Mrs. Dade R. Terrett of Carglll Court was reported yesterday as fully recovered from the shock she suf fered last Monday when possible death was narrowly averted. Mrs. Terrett was returning home from Boise, Idaho, with her husband and Mrs. I. P. Andres of Ashland when their car and house-trailer slid Into a ditch of the Diamond Lake highway between Diamond lake and Union Creek. The oar and trailer missed going off a 40-foot bank by two feet, Mr. Terrett related. Informed that the Diamond Lake highway was clear of snow, the trav ellers decided on the cut-off to Union Creek from The Dalles-Call fornla highway by which they would have had to go to Klamath Palls and over the Greensprlngs, Mr. Terrett said. When they reached the stretch between Diamond lake and Union Creek, however, they encountered about two feet of snow. Rounding up upgrade curve, the trailer slid into the ditch. Mr. Ter rett said he was planning to abandon the trailer when a state highway em ployee whose name Mr. Terrett re membered only as Dan- came along on a road grader and pulled the car and trailer out of the ditch and clear ed path. Then W. T. Frost, Crater Lake national park ranger happened to come upon the scene and, with his pickup truck, towed the travellers part of the distance to Union Creek. They were towed the remainder of the distance to Union Creek by Brey ton B. Finch, also a park ranger. They spent Monday night In Prospect and came on home Tuesday. It was noon when the travellers met with their accident, 8:30 at night by the time they reached Union Creek, a . distance of only about 20 miles, Mr. Terrett related. Mr. and Mrs. Terret and Mrs. An dres had been on their trip about ten days. They stopped In a num ber of eastern Oregon cities to and from Boise. The Terrett traveled about 3000 miles in their car and trailer the past summer. -- -- r?ZzL 1939 PONTIAC SIX ... as stylish as a debutante ... as correct as Emily Post ... as youthful in its appeal as swing.
