Boston-Percy Bugbee, National Fire Protection associa tion engineer, noting that doors left open in our Lady of An gels School in Chicago may have been the major cause of 90 deaths: "The simple precaution of keeping these second floor landing doors closed would have kept the intense fire and hot gases out of the corridor for many precious minutes.

FBI Called in To Help Establish Identity of Twins , Shreveporf, La. - HTD - A young Air Force couple who called in the FBI to determine which of their twin daughters was which say the girls them selves intentionally cause most of the mix-ups between them. "If one does anything naughty, they always say it was the other one," explained Mrs. Earl Wolfe, wife of a 30-year-old lieutenant and! mother of a high-spirited pair of five-year-old sandyhaired twins named Margie and Mi chelle Faced with the prospect of enrolling the girls in kinder garten, the Wolfes decided to find out if they had been suc cessful in their various meth ods for telling the twins apart. A test of footprints confirmed by the FBI showed they were right. Mrs. Wolfe a chic New Eng lander who came here when her husband was transferred to Barksdale Air Force Base, said that by various devices she has always been able to tell the twins apart. Wanted Confirmation She said she and her hus band "merely wanted confir mation" now that the girls were about to enter world of red tape. ' However, Mrs. Wolfe admit ted one of the twins has some times been fed twice, and her husband laughingly confessed that "more than once one of them has gotten a whipping intended for the other." Mrs. Wolfe says that when the twins were born in an Air Force hospital, officials tagged Michelle "Wolfe A" because she was born four minutes be fore her sister. Little Margie was tagged "Wolfe B." Later, the impersonal "A" and "B"' were replaced by silver bracelets, which the Wolfes used until their daugh ters' wrists became too chub by Later, Margie grew a mole on her forehead and this offer ed a simple mans of identifica tion. But Michelle soon grew one in the same spot. Margie was the first to cut a tooth and this too provided an easy way to tell who was who until Michelle came up with a tooth of her own.' Weight Advantage Mrs, Wolfe said the surest means of telling the twins apart has been the slight weight advantage which Mic helle has maintained since birth. She weighed five pounds, 1214 ounces, com pared with Margie's five pounds, 2V4 ounces. Margie and Michelle have a long and amusing history of problems growing out of the fact they're twins. Mrs. Wolfe said that at a nursery at Good fellow Air Force Base, San Angelo, Tex., the attendants requested that the twins be dressed in differently colored socks. "But they couldn't remem ber which one had the blue socks and which wore white one," Mrs. Wolfe chuckled. "We couldn't remember eith er; we just resorted to the old weight difference to solve the dilemma." Wolfe, a KC-97 (re-fueling plane) pilot recalled that shortly after the twins were born a baby sitter vftio could n't resist playing with the tots ("most of them can't") upset the household by putting Michelle back into the crib designed for Margie and Mar gie and in Michelle's bed. It wasn't until the next morning that the parents realized the switch. The Wolfes first contacted local police to make new foot prints of the twins to match those taken at their birth. . The police department put two detectives on the case. Two local FBI men were call ed in. A double-check in Washington confirmed find ings of which twin belonged to which footprint. Case closed.

'Among them are a portable chain hoist, an ir rigation trailer, a stock trail- THE SHOE WITH iwe ausic son 7 As hemlines rise this winter, we spotlight the black leather shoe . . . .and your heel looks just right when it's slim but less-than-high.

Most of these projects will be exhibited in the 1959 Jack son County fair. Jim Frink, FFA Chapter sentinal, is making a com bined hay and implement trailer to use on his 200 acre FFA project next year. The trailer will have dual wheels and a wench and like most trailers of this type it will tilt to facilitate loading and unloading equipment. Jim now has a 165-acre hay and grain farm near Sams Valley and a small dairy ranch west of Central Point. The trailer will be valuable to him in houling feed, animals and equipment. After completing the trailer, Jim plans to build a combination equipment and livestock loading chute. - Roy Hurst Is building an implement trailer for hauling irrigation pipe. The trailer, which is four wheeled, will be 35 feet long. Instead of a bed, there will be two cross bars running above each wheel to support irrigation pipe. The pipes are 40 feet long and 4 inches in diameter. Roy and his father, Lloyd Hanscom, own 65 of these large pipes. Since Roy's project is some distance from his father's farm, the pipes must be trans ported back and forth. Wesley Kite is working on a portable chain hoist which will be six ,by six by eight feet in size. He plans to use the hoist in his farm shop. The cost of the hoist will be NeubergerDisturbed By Canadian Delay In Engineering Study New York-fUPD-Democratic Sen. Richard Neuberger of Oregon said today he was concerned that Canada may extend the existing stalemate on Columbia river power. Neuberger told United Press International from his home in Portland that he was "not pleased by reports that there will be an additional delay in announcement of re sults from tiie Canadian en gineering studies." : He said, 'The absence of precise and detailed factual information' about Canada's hopes and plans is a major factor in the lack of progress toward settlement of some in ternational policies concern ing the boundary waters. The desire of Canadians to have their plans rest on a sound engineering basis is certainly understandable, but I hope that there will not be further delay which could extend the existing stalemate." Senator 'Heartened' Neuberegr, who is perhaps the most persistent advocate in Congress of swift settle ments on all hydroelectric power disputes with Canada, also said he was "heatened to hear that the government of Canada seems to be skeptical of the vast Wenner-Gren pro posal to spend $600 million tapping the power resources DOUBLE DUTY Atlanta -(DPD Warning to bandits: Don't lay siege to the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank. It doubles as a muni tions plant. Bank guards, working in the bank base ment, have been turning out pistol cartridges at a rate of up to 700 an hour. They use old mill bag seals, melted down with a trace of tin al loy, for the lead bullets. They use brass from old shell cas ings for the jackets. The mu nitions making is strictly a hobby to supply the guards with bullets for their target practice. of the rushing Peace river." "If the Peace is developed," he continued, "it may be an other 20 years before British Columbia can absorb the im mense power potential of the upper Columbia. And on the Columbia rests the hope of the Pacific Northwest for an agreement with Canada which might result in storage that would increase the production at Grand Coulee, McNary, Bonneville and other dams in the United States. Further more, the Wenner-Gren proj ect on the Peace would be much farther in transmission distance than the Columbia from the booming Vancouver industrial area, where most of the power mustbe used." Destiny on Columbia Neuberger added that "stor age areas like Lica Creek and Arrow Lakes in British Co lumbia would add to the gen erating capacity of every project downstream on the other side of the international border. That is why our des tiny is on the Columbia and not the distant Peace." The senator also said he agreed with a recent article by the well-known Canadian editor Bruce Hutchinson which concluded that Canadi an Gen. A. G. McNaughton's cherished Fraser river tunnel diversion plan , would repeat on a vaster scale the disaster caused to the salmon industry by the Hell's Gate rock slide in 1912. It took 30 years of patient work by Canada and the United States to repair the damage and restore the salmon industry, according to Hutchinson. "I agree," said Neuberger, "with Mr. Hutchinson's con clusion that the loss of the salmon industry is too high a price to pay for additional power as long as alternative sources of hydro -power are available, Public opinion ii opposed to dooming this fish ery and I believe that is the important factor in sealing the fate of Fraser diversion."
