Chamber Warns of
Furnace 'Repairs'
Don , McNeil, secretary-man-azer
of the Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce, today
warned residents about activities
"unscrupulous" furnace repair
men who are most active during
late summer and early fall.
McNeil said once the "repair
man" secures access to the base
ment, the furnace is dismantled,
and the repairman claims the
furnace is "in an extremely dan
gerous condition and is unre
pairable." McNeil said by means
of "scare" tactics, the home
owner is induced to sign a con
tract for a completely new heat
ing plant.
Some such "repairmen" pose
as "official inspectors," McNeil
said, or pose as representatives
of governmental or civic groups
in order to secure access to the
furnace to dismantle it.
In some cases, he said, parties
will take apart a furnace to
"clean" it, then call a "heating
engineer," who tells the home
owner the furnace is dangerous
and unrepairable.
McNeil urged residents to
have furnaces serviced by a re
liable firm or repairman, and
ask for proper credentials in the
case of "furnace inspector." Mc
Neil said if the resident is in
doubt about the reliability and
integrity of repairmen, the per
son may contact the chamber of
commerce.
McNeil said there is a small
group of "unscrupulous repair
men" who usually travel
through the area during late
summer and early fall.

National Labor Strikes
Reported on Decline
Los Angeles U.B The threat
of labor strikes causing national
emergencies seems on the decline
even with the advent of industry-wide
collective bargaining
agents.
This is the view of Dr. George
H. Hildebrand, professor of eco
nomics and head of the Institute
of Industrial Relations at UCLA.
Dr. Hildebrand says the trend
toward industry-wide collective
bargaining does pose some possi
bility of national emergency
strikes. But, he believes, this
will be offset by continued de
velopmerlt of substitute products
in the economy and by stockpiles
and imports.
Industries with a high emer
gency potential today, according
to the UCLA economist, are: cri
tical defense products, fission
able materials, railroads, bitumi
nous coal mining and basic steel
products.
Life Jacket Saves
Young Porflander
Portland (U.R) Donald
Boardman of Portland, 20-year-old
deckhand aboard the Corps
of Engineers dredge Luckiamute
owed his life today to a life
I jacket he borrowed while work
i ing on the dredge in the Willam
I ette river between Buena Vista
and Albany.
Boardman fell from the barge
and blacked out under the
dredge. Some time later a fel
low worker missed him and a
boat was launched to look for
him.
After a second run down the
river toward the mouth of the
Santiam river, the men in the
boat saw Boardman walking
back upstream toward the
dredge.
Boardman said he had blacked
out under the dredge, but the
life jacket buoyed him to the
surface and when he came to he
was near the mouth of the San
tiam 200 feet downstream.

GRACEFUL RETIREMENT
Ithica, N.Y. -4U.R) Farmers
make a better adjustment to re
tirement than other occupations,
a Cornell University study
shows. The school found that
farmers gradually taper off work
while non-farm workers are
more likely to be subject to sud
den compulsory retirement upon
reaching a certain age.
Hodge Sentenced
To 20-Year Term
Chicago U.R) Former Illi
nois Auditor Orville E. Hodge
was sentenced today to 20 years
in prison for misapplying $816,
427 in state funds deposited in
federally insured banks. Ten
years of the sentence would be
suspended if Hodge makes good

Hodge was brought here from
a Springfield hospital to plead
guilty before Judge John P.
Barnes to the 51 counts in the
indictment.
The disgraced auditor, who
also is awaiting sentencing on
state embezzlement charges,
looked pale and ill. He sat with
his head in his hands for most

McKay Points To Road
Improvement on Coast
Coquille (U.R) Douglas Mc
Kay told audiences in the coastal
communities that improvement
of the outmoded roads in south
western Oregon is of paramount
importance to the three major
industries of Oregon.
The Republican nominee for
U. S. senator said he was "very
optimitstic" that the coastal high
way bottle-neck between Brook
ings and Gold Beach will be
eliminated in the near future.
At the Chetco Grange near
Brookings Monday night and
Tuesday at Gold Beach, McKay
promised he would lend his sup
port to efforts for early recon
struction of Highway 101 in this ;
region.
He pointed out that isolation of
this section of the coast was a
"serious detriment not only to
Oregon's tourist trade but to
lumber and agriculture as well."
