Way Chang zirconium plant was
dedicated here today by Sen.

who said the operation provided
the type of payroll needed in

"Not only will this important
manufacturing e s t a b 1 i shment
contribute a vital material to

Quick Action Saves
Young Shock Victim
Bend 'CU.R) Quick action by
a young friend was credited to
day with saving the life of Kim
Ward, 12, who was knocked un
conscious by an electrical shock
Saturday.
The friend, Philip Young, was
knocked down by the shock but
ran about a quarter of a mile to
get help. Young Ward had
stopped breathing when firemen
arrived, officials said.
The two boys were rifle
shooting Saturday when they
saw a gopher run into a length
of irrigation pipe. They lifted
the pipe in an effort to shake
the gopher out so he could be
shot. But the pipe came into
contact with a 12,000 volt pow
er line.
Ward was knocked uncon
scious and the Young boy was
knocked to the ground. He ran
to Ward's house where Ward's
mother called firemen and an
ambulance. Firemen found the
Ward boy had stopped breath
ing but applied artificial respi
ration and used a resuscitator to
revive him.
Ward was reported in good
condition in a local hospital to
day. The Young boy suffered
burns.
Baker County Lists
Sixth Traffic Death
Baker (U.R) Baker county
recorded its sixth traffic fatal
ity of 1957 Saturday night when
Tommy Lee Chamberlain, Rich
land, Ore., was killed instantly
in a one-car accident.
A passenger in the car, Mary
Frances Wright, Richland, was
taken to a hospital in Richland
suffering from shock and serious
head cuts.
Some people imagine they can get a better
deal on buying a new car if they wait until late in
the year. But they overlook the obvious fact that
their trade-in car is worth less. Also, that they're
missing half the fun of owning a current model.
So why wait? Right now, your Mercury dealer
has more stock on hand than he will have anytime
this year which means he can operate on a high .
volume, low margin basis. This, plus your higher
trade-in, means you can own a Mercury57 for
less net money now. Drive in today, and drive
home in a brand new Mercury57.
Top value In Its field! Contrast Mercury57
.wilh any car in its price class, like Car "B" or Car
'0." Mercury is bigger, inside and out, based on the
largest size increase in the industry. Only Mercury
offers you a full choice of engines. Only Mercury adds
so many exclusive, functional features: Keyboard
Control, Floating Ride, Thermo-matic Carburetor,
optional dual headlights, many others. Comparison,
point-for-point, will prove that Mercury57 is the best
buy'of all medium-priced cars.
