Lacy Home Said A Total Loss Central Point The large two-story residence of the Don Lacy family at 43 Amy st. was described by firemen as "practically a total loss" following an early morning fire on Sunday. The blaze appeared to have originated in a closet under a' stairway, possibly from spontaneous combustion, ac cording to firemen, who esti mated that 75 per cent of the interior was gutted. The Lacy's were forced to escape from an upstairs win dow because the stairway was blocked. Lacy reportedly made his way to the ground by way of a large shrub and got a table' to stand on. Mrs. Lacy handed the youngsters out the window and then was helped to the ground, herself, it was said. Lacy then entered the house and telephoned the alarm about 3:10 a.m. Flames were coming through the roof when firemen ar rived. Fire spread through the upper story and considerable smoke and water damage oc curred throughout the struc ture. Firemen indicated that the family managed to sal vage little of its possessions. Three trucks were dis patched to the scene and 22 volunteer firemen fought the blaze. TOO HOT A PACE ' Miami (UPD Mrs. Dixie Mossier had a hot typewriter Tuesday.

AMI TRIBUNE, MdferJ, Ortfm, WcJntrfar, Anf.it 28, l3t 1 39 NORTH CENTRAL AVENUE MEDFORD, OREGON Central Point Grange The busy fruit and grain season was probably the cause of the light attendance at Fri day night's Central Point Grange meeting.

Hiker Rescued From High Ledge Yosemite, Calif. (UPD A young hiker was rescued to day after being stranded over night on a ledge high above Yosemite valley near Glacier Point. National park rangers de scended the sheer wall below the point, scene of the park's famed firefall at nights, to get near the hiker, Bill Beegh ley, 17, Long Beach, Calif. It was a daring feat accom plished by a quintet of rang ers using ropes. The rescue party dropped a rope about 150 feet to Beeghley, who tied it around himself and was hauled up irom the tiny ledge. He had hiked to the point Tuesday with a group of other youths but became stranded -when he attempted a short cut alone on the return trip. After being . hauled to the ledge, the rescue party began the perilous ascent back to the point. More, rope was dropped to the party because the rangers were forced to "burn their bridges" while making the descent without sufficient line. Beeghley was trapped about 1,500 feet above the valley floor. Rangers said he was in good condition despite his ordeal. Man Finds Side of House Painted Salem (UPD When Wen dell Willmarth, business man ager of the Statesman-Journal here, went home from work there was something different about the looks of his house. One side had a fresh coat of green paint. A commercial painter had gone to work on the wron&4 house and should have been painting a place four doors away. Even his estimate had been based erroneously on the Willmarth house. Willmarth now is debating whether to have the green wall recovered with white paint or to have the painter go ahead and finish the green paint job.
