BY HELEN BOTTEL Cave Junction A broken wheel on heavy paving equip ment on the four-and-one-half mile Deer Creek road job set the county road crew back half a day last Monday. Because of this delay and other finishing work on the Selma road, Foreman Frank Gant says the paving crew will not start on the Lone Moun tain Valley road until next week. He expects to begin the job by Thursday on this two-and-one-half mile stretch of road. Sweep ing loose gravel off the road here recently, Gant said the new bed laid last year has hardened bet ter than expected, even on the shoulders. The firm foundation should make the paving job hold up for years, he added. Because the road bed on the Old Stage road near Cave Junc tion is still too loosely packed for regular paving, an extra heavy coating of oil will be ap plied this year. This special oil coat is similar to hard-top Gant says. A natural phenomenon oc curred during the rain last week, which some folks said might be symbolic. It was a moonlight night and rain had stopped in town but it was still drizzling on the foot hills. A perfect rainbow formed across the night sky, stretching from Woodcock to Eight Dollar mountain, but the span had no colors.

Ed Atkins Donald H. F. Miller ATKINS INSURANCE AGENCY OFFCE NUMBER 6 1133 South Riverside Medford, Oregon Argentine Officials Concerned Over Venezuela Arrest Reports By WILLIAM F. HORSEY United Press Correspondent Buenos Aires nn Argentine officials are seriously concerned over reports that more than 100 Argentine citizens have been ar rested in Venezuela since the two countries broke diplomatic relations two weeks ago. Confirmation of the reports couid be expected to widen the breach caused originally by Ar gentine government charges that fallen dictator Juan E. Peron was directing a campaign of ter rorism and subversion against Argentina from his political ha ven in Venezuela. Argentina withdrew its ambas sador from Caracas after Vene zuela declared him unwelcome and shrugged off Argentina's re quest that Peron be expelled from the country for abusing his status as a political exile by his actions against the Argentine government. Brazil "Peacemaker" Official sources here indicated that Brazil, which is taking care of Argentina interests in Vene zuela, had been asked to check the reports of wholesale arrests of Argentine residents in Vene zuela. Brazil, meanwhile, had taken the Initiative in trying to heal the Argentine - Venezuelan breach before the key Inter-American Economic conference opens here on Aug. 15. In as much as Venezuela has become the world's second larg est oil producer, one of the larg est high grade iron ore producers and South America's No. 1 im porter of United States goods, its absence here could easily prove a serious hindrance. There appeared to be no doubt that most American democratic nations would blame such a de velopment to Peron's undermin ing tactics. Two South American coun tries Chile and Uruguay have found Argentina's formal disclo sures of Peron s plotting suffi ciently substantiated to order the banishment of Peronist ex iles to interior points in both countries. Irrefutable Proof Last week, Argentine Foreign Minister Alfonso de Laferrere called the diplomatic representa tives of the other 19 American republics here to show them "ir refutable proof" of Peron's plot ting. The proof included excerpts from seized Peron letters to the leaders of his various counter- Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay and oth er countries. In a letter, dated in Caracas on March 22 and addressed to "Comrade 2" in Santiago, Chil, Peron expressed his gratitude to wards Venezuelan President Marcos Perez Jimenez and the Dominican Republic's strong man Generalissimo Bafael Leo nidas Trujillo, for the support they had extended him. "Both Gen. Trujillo and Gen. Perez Jimenez have been very obliging to me and I owe them many kindnesses. Besides, they are great persons and for that reason their enemies are the ; same enemies we have . . ." the J letter said in part. i Efforts to obtain first hand re- i ports from Caracas on Peron's activities there ran against a wall of strict official censorship. On the other hand, Peron and a group of about 200 of his friends, held a public demonstra tion in Caracas last Sunday, to "apologize" to the government and people of Venezuela for the action of the present Argentine government in breaking rela tions with that country. The group gathered before the monument to South American liberator Simon Bolivar and Pe ron placed a wreath at the foot of it, while the crowd shouted "long live Peron", "long live Ar gentina", "long live Venezuela". Helicopter Placed At Siskiyou Project Cave Junction A helicopter, ! leased from Ricks Helicopters, Inc., of the San Francisco Bay area, is now stationed at the Sifkiyou Aerial project. !

Take care not to over crowd the dryer since curtains need plenty of room to fluff up. Two or three pairs will be fresh, wrinkle-free and ready for re hanging in approximately five minutes. Such occasional fluff ing to loosen surface dirt cuts down on necessary laundering, too. 1 Sugar cane, a perennial, re- RELAX TEE OFF YOUR VACATION CARE FREE Borrow the ftllUC American Way I.UHI10 $25 to $1,500 Auto Saliry Furniture American Finance Corp.
