back to recovery, but her prog
ress is slow.
Phvsiclans aren't sure how
long it will take the courageous
18 -year-old Sunnyvale, Calif.,
girl to get "all the way back'
from the effects of nine days
under a wrecked car with her
fiance dead nearby.
It was on June 24 that Miss
Margetts, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Lawrence Margetts-, and
James Hixon Jr., 22, started back
to Salt Lake City from a fishing
trip.
Apparently it was near mid
night that night when the car
went out of control, off U.S.
Highway 40 near Parley's Sum
mit in the Wasatch Mountains
east of here, and into a grove
j of scrub trees.
I Pinned Under Car
! It was not until the night of
July 3 that the concealed wreck
was found. Hixon had died the
first night, apparently trying to

crawl up a hill for help. Jean
was trapped under the overturn
ed trunk compartment, her legs
pinned by a tree and gasoline
dripping on her head.
She's been hospitalized since,
getting the most expert care
medical science can provide.
Utah is raising money by public
suoscnpuon 10 iinance the re
covery.
She was in a semi-coma when
found. It was three days before,
as she was fed through the veins
and given other shock treatment,
that she could do more than
show signs of recognizing her
mother.
Gradually, she"s gained more
mental and physical control.
She's started feeding herself.
Amnesia Possible
Miss Margetts has asked some
questions of her mother. Only
her close relatives and physicians
can see her.
She has yet to say anything
that is known about the fishing
trip, the start home, the wreck
or Hixon, whom she planned to
marry this fall.
Doctors suggest that, merciful
ly, she has amnesia that blots
out that horrible period when
she was so close to death. -
Newspaper, radio newscasts
and mail are still kept from
Jean. Experts say the shock of
suddenly realizing Hixon is gone
and how close she came to going
with him might set her back,
and she might not be able to
stand it.
General Employment
Up in Coastal States
San Francisco (U.R) General
employment, excluding domestic
and farm workers, in three Pa
cific Coast states, reached a new
all-time high of 5,427,500 in mid
May, the U.S.' Department of
Labor reported today.
The department's Bureau of
Labor Statistics reported the fig

peak set in September, 1955 and
was 250,000 above that of May
a year ago.
The report said all major in
dustries, except mining, con
tributed to the April-May ad
vance in California, Oregon and
Washington. . .
In California employment in
creased by 46,900 to a total of
4.182,800. Oregon's employment
was up 11,000 to 479,000 and
Washington showed an increase

On The Side
By E. V. Durling
(Distributed by Kine Fuhiret Syndicate, Inc.)
This department appears to
have the attention of quite a few
feminine readers who have had
considerable matrimonial ex
perience. As for example, a New
Yorker who says she has been
married four times and is the
mother of 15 children. Inciden
tally, she is currently a career
woman. She adds that she still
has her schoolgirl figure w-hich
she believes is partly due to her
love for dancing.
Breeding
The British turf classic, the
Epsom derby was again won this
year by a French horse. The
thoroughbreds from France are
a constant threat in all the great
British classics. Even if your
wife is not interested in racing
there is an angle to this situation
that should interest her. The
great success of the French
breeders is said to be due to
their emphasis on the import
ance of the mare. The British
have centered their great atten
tion on the stallion. Incidentally,
it is said that in humans the
mother is more important in the
matter of producing powerful
sons. As for example, John L.
Sullivan's mother was a tall,
strong woman. His father was
short and not especially strong.
So They Say
Libra (Sept. 24-Oct 23) women
are born actresses. If they don't
act professionally they act to get
their way with their husbands
or impress people. The woman
who habitually makes a dra
matic entrance at a party is
usually a Libra. Or, so say the
stargazers.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. Are
there any successful professional
race horse trainers who are col
lege graduates? A. Yes, sir.
Quite a few. For example, John
Gaver, Greentree stable is a
Princeton man. J. B. Bond, lead
ing New Jersey trainer, is a
John Hopkins graduate. "Big
Jim" Healey is a Georgetown
alumnus. "Hack" Ross is a uni
versity of. California graduate
and a former football star. Inci
dentally, a top thoroughbred
trainer can earn from 550,000 to
$100,000 a year. So why should
not university trained men be
interested? Q. Are you familiar
with a poem titled "We Must
Have Weather"? A. All I know
of the poem you may have in
mind is as follows:
Whether it rain .
Or whether it snow
We must have weather
Whether or no.
Variety
What is the widest variety of
dishes you have been offered on
a breakfast mnu? Can you top
that of 125 different dishes of
fered on the breakfast menu of
the' Holland-American liner New
Amsterdam? Breakfast is my
favorite meal. When viewing a
morning meal menu I always
select a breakfast from it. From
the New Amsterdam card I se
lected a light breakfast of
prunes, oatmeal, ham and eggs,
lyonnaise potatoes, raspberry
jam, corn muffins, buckwheat
cakes and a pot of coffee.

Disc Jockey Charged
With Wife's Murder
Pittsburgh U.R) Police
charged disc jockey Wally Dick
son with the murder of his wife
Thursday, partially on the basU
of evidence supplied by the sus
pect's five-year-old son.
Jeffrey Dickson told detectives
his father was home when he
heard two shots fired the -night
his mother, Nancy, 26, was
bludgeoned and then shot in the
chest and forehead.
The balding radio performer,
30, who sobbed hysterically at
his wife's coffin Thursday, was
taken into custody by Allegheny
County Coroner William D. Mc
Clelland and held without bond
for murder pending an inquest.
"All facts in the case point
to Dickson as the slayer," Henry
W. Pieper, chief of county detec
tives, declared.
and whimpering about their
charges being assigned weights
as high as 130 pounds. Exter
minator, gallant thoroughbred of
the yesteryear, carried weights
of over 130 pounds to victory in
15 races! Perhaps the breed of
thoroughbreds is not being im
proved as it should be. Or even
maintaining standards of the im
mediate past.
Records
It is not always a good sign
when an unusual number of
world's records are broken at a
thoroughbred race track. It is,
at times, an indication of a so
called "paste board track." That
is, one of an unusually hard sur
face. At Juarez, Mexico, some
years ago, A horse named Iron
Mask broke the six furlong
wdrld's record carrying a bur
den of 169 pounds! The Juarez
course was composed of hard
clay. Many horses break down
on "paste board tracks." They
suffer from a condition similar
to that of the truck horses re
ferred to in the immortal lines:
It isn't the 'eavy 'aulin that
'urts the 'orses 'oofs.
It's the 'ammer, 'ammer on
the 'aid 'ighway.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
Langley, Purcell
Invited To Appear
For Portland Jury
Portland UP. The Multno
mah county grand jury today
invited District Attorney Wil
liam M. Langley and Portland
Police Chief James Purcell Jr.
to appear before it voluntarily
to testify without benefit of im
munity. In a letter signed by the grand
jury foreman, Mrs. Lulu G. Mill
er, Purcell was asked to appear
again and "continue to cooperate
by voluntarily giving your evi
dence, under the waiver arrange
ment previously entered into.
Later you repudiated the ar
rangement by refusing to give
any further assistance."
Advice of Counsel
The police chief answered
that, after consulting his attor
ney, he would appear only under
subpoena but that when he did
appear he would not require "af
firmative guarantees" of im
munity. Purcell said in his letter to the
grand jury that "in all I made
four appearances before the jury
and gave all the cooperation" and
assistance within my power . . .'
On June 27, 1956, I received a
subpoena to appear and I imme
diately responded by attending
at the time required. I am now
forced to act upon the advice
of counsel."
Cooperation Asked
Mayor Fred L. Peterson asked
Purcell and each member of the
police department to "cooperate
fully when called upon."
District Attorney Langley, who
was invited to appear before the
jury next Monday morning, said
he hadn't answered the jury's
letter and would have no com
ment until he did.
The grand jury is investigat
ing charges of vice and corrup
tion in Portland and Multnomah
county. The investigation-is be
ing guided by Attorney General
Robert Y. Thornton at the direc
tion of Gov. Elmo Smith.
Jim McDonald Returns From Meeting Trip
Ashland Jim McDonald,
Southern Oregon college sopho
more from Medfordv state presi
dent of the Future Teachers of
Oregon, and recently-elected
first vice president of the Na
tional Association of the Future
Teachers of America at last
week's convention of the Nation
al Education association in Port
land, has returned to the campus
after a conference tour which in
cluded the National FTA Work
conference, the annual meeting
of the Teacher Education Profes
sional Standards commission in
Tacoma, .and the NEA commis
sion meeting in Tacoma.
While attending the NEA con
vention in Portland, McDonald
was chairman of the constitution
al committee which rewrote the
constitution for the National As
sociation of Future Teachers of
America. As a result of the re
drafting, the NAFTA will be re
named the Student National Ed
ucation association in 1957 and
will gear its program to college
students. This change will not af
fect the high school FTA organ
izations, McDonald said.
While in Tacoma, McDonald
was chairman of the evaluation
committee which sought ana
lyze the results of both the work
conference and the TEPS meet
ing. By such a critique these or
ganizations attempt to improve
and provide additional informa
tional materials to those who at
tend future conferences accord
ing to McDonald.
