Umatilla -UPB- An all-out search, Including the lowering of the Columbia river, for Janie Campbell, 4, Umatilla, who drowned here, Tuesday with an older sister, was un successful late Wednesday. The Umatilla county sher iffs office called off the gen eral hunt that included 16 boats, four airplanes, and three skindivers but a foot search including a number of volunteers continued. The Army Corps of Engi neers lowered the level of the Columbia about three feet by cutting off the flow at Mc Nary dam but restored the river to its regular level Wednesday evening. - Janie's sister, Frances, 9, drowned trying to save the younger girl who had waded into deep water. Both were swept away. Fancy False Teeth Used by Washington New York "- (CPU -' George Washington really had a mouthful when he sat for his famed portrait by Charles Wilson Peale, according to "Dental Times"-dentures ap parently made of elks' teeth, filed down and embedded in lead aloy. The pubication quoted Dr. , B. H. Weinberger as conced ing in his "History of Dentist ry in America" that "How Washington could have worn these is a mystery." - Dr. Weinberger added that "it is more than likely" that the teeth "were used only at the time Peale painted Wash ington, so that the mouth might, assume a more natural appearance.' - Most of the first President's dental work, the article con tinued, was done by John Greenwood, pioneer New York dentist, who also fash ioned at least one full upper and lower denture for Wash ington from hippopotamus ivory. i n ' fiJl rY.- t : "ikfi 4i 4. 1 ' SITTING IN SHERIFF'S OFFICE at Las Vegas, Nev Dr. Raymond Finch, 41, sub mits to having scratches on arm photographed following his arrest in slaying of wife, Mrs. Barbara Finch (leftVat West Covina, Calif.

Little Motorized Cars Can Be Dangerous, Safety Council Says Hospitals Refuse Welfare Patients Vancouverv B. C.-(UPI-More than half of British Colum bia's private hospitals have been refusing to accept wel fare patients on the Provincial $5.50 per day basis, it was announced Wednesday. ; Twenty-eight private hos pitals have been refusing the patients as a protest against the government's two-year de lay in settlement of a request for an increase to $7 a day for care of chronic welfare pa tients. Beware of the "cute little motorized cars youngsters of seven and older, or younger, are driving these days. .They can be killers, according to a warning issued by the Med ford Safety Council. "Some of these miniature automobiles are so heavily powered they can go 40 and 50 miles an hour," C. D (Swede) Larson, president of the council, said. "That s too fast for any youngster under 16 to drive anywhere, anytime, and par ents are only beggmg for trou ble when they permit a child to do it. Can B Driven Saf We realize that some of these little cars won't go more than five miles an hour. There is an understandable seeling by some parents that such a car can be driven safely by a seven-year-old child in his own back yard. "This may be true-assum ing that an active seven-year- old boy or girl would be con tent to stay in the back yard and never venture onto the sidewalk or irito the street. But the variation in cir cumstances, ages, conditions and types of these' little cars and their drivers are so great that there is only one really safe rule for their use-don't use them!" There are designated places where children can race the little motorized cars in kiddie set drag races, the . council said. This is done under su pervision and with safety pre cautions. . Council Suggestion "We urge parents not to permit their children to par ticipate in such events," the council said. We do this at the recog nized risk of being written Scraps-info-Daisies 743055- off as fuddy-duddies and de- spoilers of childhood fun. "But we firmly believe that children under 16 are too young to drive cars of any size anywhere without their parents going along. And Children Free At Exposition Portland - IUPB - Children 15 years of age and under who are accompanied by their parents will be admitted free to the Centennial Exposition grounds here, the manage ment committee of the Ex position decided Wednesday. A dip in attendance at the Exposition this week prompt ed the action. The heat wave was partly to blame for the short attendance, the commit tee said. - . ' Exhibitors and concession operators at the Exposition have been requesting . the change at the gate since a successful trial run when the Roy Rogers troupe was here, last week. - Admission prices to the grounds are $1 for adults, 50 cents for the 16-18 age bracket,' and 50 cents for those 15 and under who are not ac companied by parents.

Illegal to Drive The council noted it is ille gal for anyone to drive any motor vehicle - including toy cars-on public streets or high ways without a license. This means that no one under 14 can drive a motorized toy car legally in any state, unless special laws are enacted. "But" a street or highway isn't the only , place a child can kill or hurt himself in one of these little mis," Larson commented. "There was tragic proof of this recently when a three-year-old boy was killed and his four-year-old brother in jured when the little motor ized car in which they were racing on an abandoned auto speedway went out of control and crashed into a guard rail."

'.. dition of landing field, speed of approach and available space. He has many instru ments to assist him but he must have judgment' and at all tunes a "sense of position." Knowing one's Dlace is Dret- ty important, whether it ap plies to a plane, a mouse, mon key, bird or insect: it affects the safety, as well as the actu al existence of them. all. "Sense of position" influences every living thing: all prac tice, it, but no one exactly un derstands it. , Constant Concern Being able to fly, to take off and land, to judge dis tances correctly, to allow for wind currents, and a dozen other conditions, must be the constant concern of a bird, or to a lesser degree, to an in sect. The animal, to some ex tent, like the plane pilot, re acts subconsciously to prevail ing conditions; all respond to trained reflexes. The pelican soaring on stif fened wings above a fish that is swimming 40 feet 'below him in the water, must allow for wind direction and speed, distance above the water, re fraction of light as it affects the fish's position, distance the fish will travel during the bird's plunge, as well as the time lapse between the start of the dive and the impact with the water. The bird must also estimate, almost to the inch, the distance the fish is below the water's surface. All these calculations' could not always be accurately made if the bird depended solely on inherited instincts; it must be partly good judgment and ac quired ; knowledge.- The. fact that the pelican usually gets the fish it dives for would seem to be pretty conclusive proof it figured correctly. Must Estimate Strength ' Any small bird coming in for a landing in a bush, or on a tree limb, or a telephone wire, must judge distance, and position; it must take into con sideration the degree of light in reference to the landing field and estimate the support ing strength of the proposed spot on which it is intending to land. v Above all it must judge the distance, and the time for braking. The bird, sailing in through limbs and branches, at full speed, to alight on a spot previously selected, must "know its stuff' or suffer a broken neck. These hurried decisions and calculations must be snap judgments. The bird has but little time to make up its mind between the . time it decides and the instant it must land; It comes to a full stop from headlong flight in a fraction of a second. "Sense of posi tion" to a bird, as well as to a plane pilot, may be inherited, acquired, or developed. Other wise, the bird could not sur vive, or the pilot bring his plane and passengers safely back to earth again.
