The tragic death which overtook the two little Schnack girls and their uncle, Carl A. Walters, in the Applegate river Monday again emphasizes the fact that inviting and beautitul though our swut streams may be, the waters can also be treacherous and cruel e A NUMBER of fishermen, some of them strong and " able swimmers, have lost their lives in years past and there is a regrettable record of children who, wading in the cool shallow waters near shore, have suddenly found themselves beyond their depth in un suspected holes. THE Applegate, though probably no more danger 1 ous than its sister stream, the Rogue, narrowly missed adding at least three others to its death list in addition to the two girls and their brave uncle who had attempted to save them. Two older Schnack sis ters and a would-be rescuer were spared apparently only through the intervention of a kinder fate. e e e e THOSE who would enjoy our streams should take 1 heed of the Applegate tragedy and remember al ways that caution is needed, especially where young er children are concerned. E.C.F. 100 Years of Progress Shasta county, California, rounded its first cen tury milestone last week, the Record-Searchlight of Kedding marking the 100 years of progress" with an 80-page centennial edition the largest newspaper ever published there. RDINARILY such special editions rate only pass- ing interest, at least for distant readers, but Edi tor Paul C. Bodenhamer and his staff must be credit ed with something unusual in this instance for the number is replete with stories and photos concerning the area's history and development since 1850. "NE of the features which drew particular attention here concerned the little old town of Shasta for that spot has a colorful record somewhat paralleling our own Jacksonville. "The town of Shasta looks like a sleepy little place today, but it was once a thriving city, Shasta county seat, and a transportation terminal," says the Record-Searchlight. The item continues : . "It was from Shasta,, then a city of 10,000 souls, ex clusive of a large Chinese population, that oxen teams were assembled to make the hazardous trip over the mountains into Trinity county. "In the old days, the streets were crowded, the stores were crammed with food and the saloons were crammed with thirsty miners. Gambling was rife, . "The gambling craze that swept Shasta was spearhead ed by the Chinese. They lived on claims that white men considered 'worked out,' and worked hard, scraping out the veins. They managed to live well in their irugal lashion. "In 1853, the entire town burned down in 30 minutes. Most of the buildings were constructed of wood and cloth and once the fire started, there was no way of controlling it. "A town meeting was held, and an ordinance passed per mitting only brick construction. Four brick kilns were built, and all houses were built from the impervious red brick. In addition, iron doors were put on every house. Old timers said the doors cost $500 each. "The state parks commission is in charge of the recon struction program which has been underway (in Shasta) for several months. The court house looks today just as it did when Shasta was the county seat. "One building that wasn't touched in the reconstruction program because it didn't have to be is the temple of the Western Star Masonic lodge. It has been standing since the early 1850's, may stand for some time to come. The lodge was the first in California, and was started by Peter Lassen himself. The vault contains many Masonic treasures as well as a box to be opened by Masons in 2048. "The box is a strong indication of the way Shastans feel and think. 'The town has a population of 600 to 700. The schoolhouse has about 50 students and many more youngsters make the trip into Redding's Shasta union high school daily. , "The reconstruction will make Shasta more than a su burb of Redding. The road to Weaverville and. the coast is being reconstructed also, and when that's completed, tour ists will be able to come to Shasta comfortably and from every direction." E.C.F. Crosstown By Roland Cot tmri'.r.witiMslr "Why couldn't I stay her and you take this va cation trip? Just leave plenty of food in the refrigera tor and I'll get some of the guys to stay with fe at night." .... AROUND HOLLYWOOD By VIRGINIA MaePHERSON United Press Correspoetdoaf Hollywood, June 21 (U.R) H. D. Hover, owner of Ciro's, said today he's trying to swing a deal to put H o 1 ly w ood s s w ankiest night-c 1 u b on relief. It's losing money with every steak, he said, and he's asking Los An geles county to help him sup port it. "Why not?" Hover said. "This is not such a fantastic idea. The county helps support the Hollywood Bowl, which is run by indepen dent interests. "They do it because the Bowl is a prestige attraction for southern California. Well, so is Ciro's. 7 "'i, s ' , v Virginia MacPherwS In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Today's Jitter news: "The Western allies are re ported mining key roads and bridges throughout West Ger many and other parts of Europe to stall any possible Soviet attack. THE story was sprung when a German magazine printed pictures of mine holes being dug along a road. The pictures touched off mute a furor. Hit Hussions promptly charged that these preparations are "part of the American's aggressor's plans to march against the soviet Union." One communist news paper allowed as how "the Amor- cans are Dimming to follow Hitler's scorched earth policy.' PX-Gl's, I think, will recall - thut when we wore planning a big push against the enemy WE U1UN T MINE OUK OWN BACK ROADS. If you're going to at tack the other fellow, why run the risk of killing your own men by stepping on your own mines? When you start mining roads. it s because you exnect the other icllow to attack. But the Russian story is that we're going to attack them, and they stick to It. T ISN'T a bad story, at that. The Russians k e e d talking about the PEACE they're fight ing for against big odds and we keep talking about the cold war we're fighting. I'm beginning to minx mat H we talked more about peace and less about "cold" and other kinds of war we'd make a better impression on our friends. PERSONALLY, I don't aim to 1 take to the brush because of these Jitter stories in the news. Nothing Is less profitable than getting scared out of your boots by things that never happen. LIARD luck news from New 1 Jersey: Robert Bertelson, a kind hearted service station employee, tried not to step on a little bird that was pecking at the ground and didn't notice what was com ing .. . in dodging the bird, he stumbled and fell through a plate glass window ... he wasn't hurt, but his boss charged him nine dollars for new glass. The bird flew away without saying thank you. CEVERAL times I've narrowly "escaped crashing in the ditch by swerving to avoid a dog in the road. As I recall it, when 1 cast a glance through the rear view mirror to see what had happende the dog always wore an expression of pleased interest indicating that from his view point the show had been a good one. INCIDENTALLY, people who 1 have tried it tell me NEVER to hit a pig on the road to avoid taking to the ditch. A fair-sized pig, they say, is solid and chuky and when hit at highway speed throws you for a series of aerial loops that make going into the ditch seem by comparison a mild and almost pleasurable ex perience. "LOSING this on a more ser ions note, Harris Ellsworth, congressman from this district. says in a little news letter he sends back home: "Speaking of nooulation fl. gures 40 out of every 100 per sons are now on the p u b 1 ic payroll (census bureau report)." No wonder taxes are flpttino high. When each six of us. onlim about the dully tasks of making a living, have to rarrv four government guvs (local .into federal government) nn nur backs, the burden can't be light. I Deed line on ClmniHeA AA,- . pm, for following ,lv in an, t day, Boca Saturday (or Sunday am Veteran of 50, Weddings Finds It Still 'Stirs' Her New York (U.R) One marriage is par for most women. Mrs. Wil ma Allen will chalk up her 50.000th this month. Even with that record-shattering total, she still gets dewy eyed as an 18-year-old when she hears the organ break into a wedding march. "Even after 22 years of sweat ing out weddings," she says, "I still get a lump in my throat." Mrs. Allen, a native of W es t Salem, 111., is a bridal consultant for the Jay Thorpe store here. 3,000 Weddings Annually She and a staff of seven super vise about 3,000 weddings an nually. The shop outfits the whole wedding party, if the bride-to-be wants it that way. But it also provides free counsel ing on weddings right from the time the breathless young thing walks in looking for a dress un til she trips down the aisle to say I do. Once the vows are said, Mrs. Allen is through. She has no plans for advising the lovelorn, although she gets plenty of re quests along that line. there was the time during the war when a service man wrote pleading, "I heard about you from a buddy. Will vou dense do me a favor? Call my fiancee in Brooklyn or at least she was my fiancee and tell her how great you think marriage is. She is angry with me and I m afraid some other guy will move in be fore I get home." $30,000 Gown Wilma Allen has handled wed dings for people of about every profession, religion, p o 1 i t i cal leaning or social standing. She has gowned brides who could afford a $30,000 outlay on a dress: brides who could pay only $25. That $30,000 number was the most expensive Mrs. Allen ever had a hand in making. It was en- tirely of rose point lace and had I a live-yard train. Use MaII Tribune Want Ads "We are a great tourist attrac tion. We present the powerhouse names in show business: Sophie Tucker . . . Danny Thomas . . . Ella Logan , , , Martin and Lewis. This is a powerful addi tion to the lure of this town." Powerful Expensive It is also a powerful expensive item in the Hover budget. He can't afford to keep it up much longer, he said. And he thinks it would be nice if the board of supervisors would appropriate a certain sum each year to help him out. "About $25,000 would do it," Hover said. "Yes, that would do it very nicely. "Our big-name celebrities pull plenty of tourists into this town," he said. "By keening Ciro's in the black the county could boost profits for industries like hotels, taxicabs, department stores and specialty shops." Super Attraction Actually, Hover went on, Ciro's is about the only super exciting thing southern Califor nia has to offer star-dazzled travelers. The movie studios are virtu ally closed to the out-of-towner," he said. "Our beaches are not comparable to those of the east or other sections of the country. "Even the climate at its best is only as good as that of other resorts in season. And we don't have any boardwalks where the visitor can run into friends from home."
