QTs Prepare
For Softball
Tournament
The Rogue Valley QTs. girls'
softball team, are going through
a series of stiff practice sessions
this week in preparation for the
state tournament, to be held next
week at Klamath Falls. The QTs,
awaiting arrival of new uni
forms ordered expressly for the
tourney, will go against Salem
on Thursday, August 11, at 8:30
p.m. in their first championship
competition.
Salem has twice defeated the
QTs- this year, 11 to 10 and 5 to
4. while the Rogue team won the
other game of their three-play
series by a 2 to 0 score.
The new uniforms, to be made
up of shorts and blouses, are to
be red with a white trim and
are said to be as flashy as those
ryorn by any girls' team in the
"state. They are en route from
Portland.
Last Saturday the QTs trav
eled to Klamath" Falls where
they.; squeezed by the Basinettes,
last year's state champions, 6 to
5, in an overtime game. The Ba
sinettes are the same team which
played the Lind Florists of Port
land here in June.
On Sunday the locals jumped
to Roseburg where they dumped
the Lumberjills 6 to 4, also in
an overtime game. It was a re
venge for the QTs, since they
lost to the Lumberjills in a pre
liminary to the Florist-Klamath
Falls0 game here.

Canadian Police
Official Kills Sell

scandal erupted in the Vancou

Whalen, 53, shot himself
through thei heart with his serv
ice revolver about 7 a.m. (PST).
His wife found his pajama-clad

Per Capita Consumption
Of 3 Chemicals High
Midland, Mich. (U.R) Do you
remember buying 175 pounds of
sulfuric acid or 40 pounds of
caustic soda, or even only 35
pounds of chlorine recently?
According to Leland I. Doan,
presidents of Dow Chemical Co.,
this is the per capita consump
tion of these three -basic chemi
cal products.
"Most of the products of the
chemical industry are channeled
into other industries to emerge
unrecognizable as a chemical ma
terial, or perhaps not to emerge
at all but only to assist in the pro
duction of a non-chemical prod
uct," Doan said.

Trapped Man Signals
For Help With Smoke
Marmarth, N.D. IU.R) David
Kreiger, 30, risked his life by
starting a prairie fire south of
here when' the tractor he was
driving overturned and pinned
him beneath the machine. ,
Kreiger was trapped for 21
hours, through a rainstorm and
temperatures dropping to 31 de
grees, before he decided to take
a chance and ignite the prairie.
His biggest worry was that the
flames would flash into the fuel
tank of the tractor,
A neighbor noticed the smoke,
however, arid rescued Kreiger,
who suffered a badly injured leg
and burns on his hands.
The richest lead and-silver de
posits in the world are believed
located at the Broken Hill mines
in Australia.
