Reunion Held In Gold Hill; Family Leaves Gold Hill A family re union was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Kofahl, Pacific Highway 99 north, Gold Hill, recently when their son, Col. Harold E. Ko fahl of the United States Air Force accompanied by his wife and their four young sters, Kristen, Robert and twin sons, Pat and Mike vis ited here. They were en route to his new assignment as air liaison officer, American Con sulate in Hong Kong. The Ko fahl's daughter, Mrs. J. H. McMasters, came from her home in Menlo Park, Calif:, for the reunion. The colonel and his family .sailed on the American Presi dent line, President Hoover, Wednesday March 28, and will stop over at Yokohama and Manila. Colonel Kofahl has served the past three years as deputy chief of staff for personnel at Washington D.C. Before leav i n g Washington he was awarded an oak leaf cluster to his commendation ribbon for the work he did while sta tioned there. Previous to his Washington assignment he - served a tour of duty with the military ad visory group in Saigon, Indo china. His military career has included service as wing com mander for three different air bases, Moses Lake Air Force base, Washington; Vance AFB, Enid, Okla; and Moody Air Force base in Georgia. The colonel's World War II decorations include the dis tinguished flying cross, croix de guerre with bronze star, air medal with oak leaf, the distinguished unit badge, Army commendation ribbon, European theater ribbon with four battle stars, and the Asiatic-Pacific ribbon with one battle star. Mrs. Kofahl and the couple's children, who also ac companied him on assign ment to Saigon, report many pleasant experiences. Mrs! Ko fahl is the former Dorothy Peterson of Sugar City, Idaho. She was stewardess for the American airlines before her marriage to the colonel in 1944. Of interest is the fact that at the time of their mar riage she had more flying hours than her husband. During the time he was base commander at Moody base in Georgia, the colonel was awarded a command pilot rating according to special order from Crew Training Air force. This distinguished rating is awarded to senior pilots pos sessing not less than 15 year's service as a rated pilot, 3,000 hours or more flying time, possession of a currently ef fective instrument certificate or a current CAA Airline transport rating and to be currently on flying status as pilot.

Is Always Fair SHIRTS Finished for Only 22c each when included in this service Roast Beef Favorite UN Dish By JEANNE LESEM United Nations, N.Y. HP! The United Nations may split on politics, but members agree wholeheartedly on roast beef. This long-time American fa vorite is one entree that's al ways on the menu in the UN delegates' dining room. Presumably it's even popu lar with Russians, although manager Frank W. Reickert declined to confirm or deny this. "We live in a glass house," he explained, "and we don't want to offend anyone by dis cussing what he eats for lunch. That's a private mat ter." And private it promises to remain, for the public is ad mitted to the delegates' din ing room only between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. daily, in ad vance of the delegates' own lunch hour. Same Dishes For All Naturally, it's on a first come, first-served basis, Rei ckert said, with reservations available each morning at the visitors' service desk on the main floor of the General As sembly on Manhattan's east side. Large groups such as club and school organizations, can reserve the entire 400-seat dining room in advance by mail through the visitors' service, he added, for any pe riod when the public normal ly is served. Beyond that, there's no spe cial treatment, said Reickert, who is the Knott Hotel's Cor poration manager for UN food services. Private citizens are given the same choice of dishes as the UN delegates and staff one that has pleased representatives of the 82 member nations for the six years the dining room has been open. Always Roast Beef A typical daily menu rep resents at least half a dozen national cuisines on the club plate list alone, plus several more on the a la carte side. For instance, one recent menu featured an American style seafood casserole as the chef's special, followed by a Portuguese omelet, French style halibut steak and leg of lamb, American pork chops with apple fritters, ternera asada con chili (roast leg of veal Latin American style), and two Russian favorites, smoked ox tongue and sea food salad a la Russe. There are always Ameri can and English grilled chops and steaks, half a dozen cold plates and salads, fancy des serts and pastries and a cheese selection to do credit to any first-class continental restaurant. Besides the roast beef, sir loin steak is another favorite. Indian lamb curry, Spanish arroz con polio and Italian veal . scallopini also are high on the list, Reickert added. 4 The original painting of "Washington Crossing the Delaware" by Emanuel Leutze was destroyed in a 1942 Allied air raid on Bre men, Germany. German-born Leutze painted the picture in 1851 for the United States Congress. When fire marred the canvas, he sold it to the German government. He did a copy for Congress, but it was refused. The copy now is in the Metropolitan Mu seum of Art in New York. One horse eats food from enough land to feed four av erage persons. Moving Day always put you in a spin?

(International) PROSPECT Wind Causes By MICKIE LARSON Prospect A wind storm March 29 caused extensive damage to several homes in the Prospect area. Roofs were torn off and flying objects broke windows. A tree fell across a house owned by Elk Lumber company and occu pied by Mr. and Mrs. William McElrouny and family. Mrs. McElmuny and chil dren were in the house when the tree fell but no one was injured. Several . rooms were badly damaged The wind blew power lines down and telephone service was out for several hours. Many trees were blqwn across the highways.

Kenny and Gino spent their spring vaca tion visiting at their grand parents home. Lady Lion's executive board met recently at the home of Mrs. Joe Josephson. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Colley of Boice Speaks at Crater High School Central Point Charles A Boice, assistant manager of traffic safety, division of the state department of motor ve hicles, discussed traffic safety and showed a film "And Then There Were Four," at Crater High school recently. His appearance served as a part of the safety campaign sponsored by the Crater Com ets, the school newspaper. Boice said that too many teen-agers place too much em phasis on car ownership, and that in some schools, it is the hot-rodding youth who be comes the leader rather than the safe driver. He said he believes all teen-age drivers are not as bad as- they are made out to be. He added he believed it was the duty of every student driving a car to drive safely and courteously. He said there is no official law that a person must be 18 to obtain a license now, but it is being discussed. The rea son for such discussion is based on the fact that one fourth of all accident occur within the age group 15 through 24 while the age group drives only one fourth the miles any other age group does.
