CU.P; Mr. and Mrs. Pink Vasher had strawberries for breakfast Fri day, 20 tons of themi A huge trailer-truck loaded with 40,000 pounds of frozen berries jumped a ditch, plowed through a potato patch, knocked down a util ity pole and ended up in the Washer's living room at Lena Station just north of here. The only injury was a small cut on the arm by Gordon L. Forman, Baton Rouge, a pas senger in the truck. The driv- e Has 20 Tens for Breakfast er was Travis L. Spurel, Las Angeles. The Vasher house was knocked about three feet off its foundation by the blow. The couple was asleep in the bedroom when the truck hit and stopped just inches from the bed. Damage was estimated at S32.000 to the house, truck, contents and the power line that was torn down. Spruel was charged with careless and reckless driving. 10 Oklahoma Farmers Return From Russia New York (U.R) Ten Okla homa farmers came back Satur day from a 20-day tour of the Soviet Union and agreed unani mously that Americans could not learn anything from Russian ag ricultural methods. But they likewise agreed that the Russian people are eager to see Americans, that their stand ard of living is being raised through hard work, and that the Russian people do not want war. The group arrived on a Scandi navian Air Lines plane from Stockholm. They were among 27 Oklahoma farmers who left on May 8 for Moscow. ' The farmers and cattle raisers expressed amazement at the amount of work done by women on Russian farms. Cattle Raiser Ted R. Warkentin, Lawton, Okla., a cattle raiser, said the proportion of women workers on most of the collective and state farms visited was 2 to 1. "I only saw one farm on which there was an equal number of men and women workers. The women milk the cows, clean the barns and do all sorts of menial tasks. You know Oklahoma wo men wouldn't stand for that." While mechanization of farms and general scientific know-how is far below U. S. standards, the Russians seem to be getting near maximum production under their present system, Warkentin said. He said they have "three or NEW!

Jean Neustadt, Ardmore, Ok la., said "peace doves" were in evidence everywhere the dele gation traveled. "We found without exception everywhere we went that the people said that they didn't want war," he said. "They said they didn't want 'a-bombs, and in the frequent toasts made to us whereever we went peace was the main theme." . Neustadt said compared with Russian women, Oklahoma wo men are "soft." But, he added, "we want to keep it that way." 5 Crusader-X HKARINa aid On of B Superb Zontrh Models soiling for SO to 1SO tO-Oay Momy-Baok nvt-VHr Swvlo PI.

WHITE Hearing Aids 131 Wast Main, Medford, Oregon BATTERIES, CORDS, REPAIRS FOR ALL MAKES Light Jet Bombers To Remain Grounded Washington (U.R) An Air Force spokesman Saturday con firmed reports that all B57 light jet bombers are still grounded and said they would be until crash-causing kinks are worked out. The spokesman said the light jet bombers have been ground ed since about January. He said this was "common knowledge." A radio correspondent report ed in Tokyo that the planes were grounded in May after 30 air men had been killed. The Air Force spokesman said that there had been "several crashes" be fore the planes were grounded. But, he said, he did not' know how many airmen had lost their lives in the accidents. The Air Force spokesman ex plained that the main problem (With the B57 is that it becomes hard to handle at certain speeds which can be very dangerous in a high-speed bomber. Another problem, the spokes man said, is an apparently faulty horizontal stabilizer in the jet bombers. Diminishing Winds ! Kelp Fire Fighters Winslow, Ariz. (U.R) Dimin- ishing winds during the early morning hours enabled weary ; crews to gain their best head-1 way in three days on a multi-; million dollar fire which by J Saturday had destroyed an esti mated 22,000 acres of forest tim- i ber. i The fire was reported virtu ally surrounded by control lines at 7 a.m. Wind had died down to three miles per hour during the night. i Hope was expressed that the ; fire could be controlled today, if winds did not reach the propor-, tions which in three days have : fanned flames in the man-caused blaze 40 miles south of here in Sitgreaves forest. However, the U. S. Weather Bureau forecast winds of 20 ; miles per hour which veteran observers said would make it difficult for fire-fighters to hold ; their hard-won gains. Although ' winds reached 25 miles per hour in gusts Friday, it is normal for ; a calm to set in during the early morning, according to the U. S. Forest Service at Holbrook, , Ariz. The picture was the brightest it has been since the fire started Wednesday and there appeared ; a definite chance the blaze could be controlled by Sunday, barring j a drastic change in conditions. I An estimated 700 men were fighting the fire today. The fire had burned over an area about 12 miles long and ; four to five miles wide. .

Industry Shift to West Coast Gains ! San Francisco (U.R) West; Coast shippers were told Fri-; day that an increasing indus trial, shift to the West has re- j suited in "the strange picture j of western heavy industry pro ducing for the markets of the East." "That picture . is becoming ever more common,". Roy G. Lucks, president of the Califor nia Packing Corporation, said at a luncheon meeting of the Pacific Coast Shippers Adyis- ory Board. He said the industrial shift to the West is gathering momen tum and as a result, "the flow of finished goods, has changed its pattern in the last years." Some 500 shippers met here in the board's 100th quarterly : session to study freight traffic trends. The board forecast a seven ; per cent increase in car-loadings for the third quarter of 1956 with a heavy 81.9 per cent in-, crease in ore and concentrate shipping off-setting a predicted 25 per cent decline in automo bile and truck shipments. During July, August and Sep tember, the board said, an esti mated 505,085 cars will be loaded some 33.000 more than during the same -period last year. MAYBE HE CAN Chicago U.P.)

Barnes lockEd the place up, after pour ing 145 fifths of whiskey down the drain, emptying four beer barrels, and smashing 20 cases of beer.
