(P) Constance Shipp, 15-year-old girl missing four days, was found slain tonight in a dwell ing here, state Police Inspec tor Edward J. Sherlock said. Occupants of the house, at 36 Sanborn St., were away on vacation, he said. The inspector did not disclose immediately the cause of the death of the dark eyed Reading High school Junior. Earlier investigators had ex pressed a tentative belief that she had been abducted or had suffered amnesia. Tire Health Rules Outlined By Cliff Wheelock of Lewis Thousands of tons of rubber could be saved yearly and tires would deliver greater mileage and service if America's motor ists would guard the "health" of their tires, according to C. O. Wheelock, manager of the Lew is Sutler Service Station. Commenting on the rubber situation in the light of the gov ernment's recent action to cur tail consumption of the nations most vital import, Mr. Wheelock said greater care in the use ol tires would conserve an astound ing amount of rubber. According to Mr. Wheelock studies made by the tire devel opment 'department of The B. F. Goodrich Company, show that observance of a few simple rules on "tire health" would re alist in greater service, safety nd longer mileage. "Underinflation is a prime cause of tire wear, for each pound of underinflation in creases tread wear 12Vi per cent. And high speed is a vicious enemy of tires for speed means heat and heat deteriorates rub ber," Mr. Wheelock said, adding that the observance of the fol lowing rules on "tire health" is of timely importance because of concern over our rubber supply. These rules are: 1. Maintain recommended air pressure at all times. 2. Whenever a tire is changed, check the air pressure after a few miles service. 3. Do not run a tire constant ly on the same wheel, instead shift your tires from wheel to wheel every 8,000 miles to in sure uniform wear. 4. Keep safe tires on all wheels a blowout destroys a complete tire. 8. Don't take corners at high speed, that wears tires faster than anything else. 6. Never slam on your brakes -except to prevent an accident. 7. Have your wheel align ment, front and rear checked regularly. 8. Give your tires your pers onal 1 inspection - from time to time. 9. Don't drive too fast on hot, dry roads for high speed heats up tires and hastens deteriora tion and wear. 10. Start up gently, do not spin your wheels and grind off rubber. 11. Do not bump into curbs no . tire ' will withstand such abuse. 12. If your car begins to steer queerly, slow down, pull off the road and inspect your tires care fully and a failure may be prevented. Crater Lake. Fabled Battleground of Indian Gods. Discovered Cool Retreat From Heat of Valleys v." assM-eRta. Sky-high Crater laka remains on' of Oragoa'i outstanding tourist attractions. Last yaar its deep blue waters and rugged scenery draw 252.000 tourists, a figure 1941 may exceed. Thta Is on of a rt.s of motoric, mad through co-opratlon or Tha Ora soman and tha OnKoo State Motor asso ciation describing visits to lMarestlns sr. as of tha Pacific nonbaast. Th. complsts artlcl anil appear lo Tha Orcgoolaa Sunday maaanne July 30. BY FRED W. COLVIO Staff Wrltar, Tb Oracoataa Irvin S. Cobb, Bluegrass hu morist, visited Crater lake by horse and buggy 20 years ago and wild horses couldn't drag him back. He was firm in his objections: "Beauty, certainly there's beauty there a fantastic sort of beauty. But it isn't restful. I just can't imagine resting in the shadow of that grandeur." To easy-going Cobb, whom we met in Bend, resUulness pic tures a shaded veranda and a mint julep, and, by that defini tion restfulness is something sky-high Crater lake "Just ain't got" . . But we were not looking for that kind of restfulness. And neither, if we may judge, were the 232,000 persons who set last year's record attendance figure at the park. Year in, year out. Crater lake has been Oregon's outstanding tourist attraction. Adamant Mr. Cobb votes with the minority. Driving the well-known white travel car Os the Oregon State Motor association we reached Crater lake after a night spent at Diamond lake, 14 miles north. Ears "ringing" from the rapid ascent to the lake rim, we encountered eight-foot snow banks at the north en trance, pleasant contrast to the July heat of the valleys. Cobb's criticism had set for us the objective of learning why Crater lake would be the magnet for close to 300.000 tourists this year. At the Rim village, as the cluster of park buildings on the south side of the crater is called, we found a Sunday crowd of several hun dred and there wasn't a veranda-sitter in the bunch. At Sinnott memorial, rough stone building whose parapet commands a view of the lake. Dr. Wayne Kartchner, one of the park's seven ranger-naturalists, held the attention of a throng with an explanation of how the lake came into being. Like a great corn-popper, the peak had popped out its insides. f uae A-f ) AL . J BEND am tax f MFDFORD I jLf to Fins naw highways now lead to Crater laka. as this map shows. Gases, gathering pressure in the mountain's hellish innards, saturated the liquid magma then expelled it in a great shower of rock "fluff," found today in the form of pumice as far as 100 miles from the lake. After the explosion the moun tain "boiled over," sending tor rents of smoking froth down the valleys; and then the shell of the peak, fell into its own cauldron and was melted. But then, of course, there is the Klamath Indian legend and one may believe it if he wishes that the lake was cre ated in a titanic struggle be tween Llao, the god of the underworld, and Skell, the god of living things. The legend ia preserved today in the names of Llao rock, a prominence on the south rim of the lake which the Indians believed was the god's throne; and Skell's head, another rocky protrusion. Crater lake's fantastic blue color (which led its discoverer, John Wesley Hillman. who stumbled upon it in 1833, to call it Deep Blue lake) evokes more questions from tourists than any other feature. Ranger Herb Armentrout at tributed the color to the purity of the water, its great depth (Crater lake, plumbed at 2000 feet, is the deepest lake on the North American continent and the fourth deepest lake in the world) and the reflection of the sky. Sole law officers In the na tional parks, rangers are guar dians not only of the park's natural beauty but also of the tourists who put themselves in their custody during their visit . and the humans can get them selves into plenty of scrapes. Like the three Virginia lads who tried to climb down the steep crater wall and found themselves in a spot where they could neither descend farther nor climb back out ... It took rangers from 7:30 one evening until 3:45 the next evening to extricate them, and that at great risk to themselves. New highways into this high Cascade region have made for swift access. Where Irvin Cobb visited Crater lake by horse and buggy 20 years ago. and where even youngsters like us recall the dirt and gravel roads of ten years back, broad high ways the equal of any in tha state now lead. Home On Leave Kenneth Hcmmerling. son of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Hemmerling of King street and Stwart avenue, is spending a six-day leave of absence at his home. He is a first class seaman on a destroyer of the U. S. navy. He enlisted in the navy through the Med ford recruiting station last November. From Honolulu Dan Watson. formerly of Medford, who has spent the past three years in Honolulu, arrived last week to visit his mother, Mrs. J. F. Wat son, of the Cargill Court apart ments, his son. Bob, and other relatives here. Mr. Watson reached Los Angeles on the liner Mariposa and completed his journey by air. Army Schooling The army will give courses in automotive and allied mechanics in civilian schools to 2.566 enlisted men during the next year, Sgt. Jo seph W. Cushman, commander of the recruiting station in the Medford federal building, an nounced yesterday he had been officially informed. This is con sidered a valuable opportunity for ambitious youths as the schooling alone would cost hun dreds of dollars, Sgt. Cushman id, emphasizing that the men chosen will receive their regu lar army pay and attend the schools without cost to them selves. At the end of the train ing period the men will return to their respective branches of service to assume important jobs in maintenance and opera tion of vehicles in the new mechanized army, Cushman stated. Full particulars may be received at the recruiting office. BLOX Blj Rouch. part dry. Pull load. S3. Mcdloid Purl. Trl. 3111. WANTED Housekeeper In mother less horn. Girl 13, boy 17, lleht work.
