At least 44 fire men were injured, several critically, when they were engulfed by the blazing tidal wave. Five of the victims'- staggered to their feet, their clothing ablaze, and ran screaming from the scene. Spectators, police and other firemen tackled them and rolled them on the ground to extinguish the flames. In addition to the 44 rushed to hospitals, police said several others were treated at the scene. New Regal Fortune Station to Open in Med ford Tomorrow An estimated 7,000 gallons of gasoline will be given away tomorrow at. the grand opening of the newest service station in the Regal Fortune chain. , , The new station, located at Central ave. and Jackson st., will bring to a total of 10 the number of stations in the Med-ford-based chain. An expected 3,000 motor ists tomorrow will take . ad vantage of the offer, in which they will draw envelopes from a bin, with each enve lope worth from two to 10 gallons of gasoline. Thre Service Islands The new station will have three service islands, six pumps and - a - well-trained staff and will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. daily. . The other Regal Fortune station in Medford, at Cen tral and Riverside aves., is open 24 hours a day. Regal Fortune stations are patterned somewhat after su permarkets, according to Leo Bohlsf manager of the new unit, with the emphasis on convenience, low prices and rapid service. "Regal Fortune stations have a different policy," Via tor Milnes, 15 North Grove land ave., general manager of the chain, said. Savings to Customers . "We pass savings on to our customers through our lower prices and our own stamp program," Milnes said. '.'We give, and redeem our own stamps and because we oper ate our own program we find that our stamps are more valuable.

Whitney Los Angeles-IUPfl-Two tons of tin carls and a half-ton of broken glass were removed from 14,495-ft. Mt. Whitney during a nine-day cleanup of the famed Sierra peak, lead ers of the expedition said to day. ' : Tom and Trudie Hunt, Co vina, Calif., who led the 30 member Sierra Club party, said sardine cans and - bed springs were among items gathered along trails and at campsites. The debris was packed out by animals or burned. The couple said the party assembled Aug. 8 at the Owens Valley town, of Lone Pine and then packed to a base camp near the 10,300- foot level. Climbers twice reached the summit of Whit ney in their search for litter. They also waded in a lake at 12.000 feet to remove 80 pounds of cans. - "It was hard to believe per sons could leave so much refuse," Hunt said. "The sum. mit, from which we removed nearly 300 pounds of debris and where we burned refuse for five hours, is 13 miles from the nearest road."' Mamie Returns To Gettysburg Washington-fllPD-Mrs. Eisen hower arrived here by train today after visiting her ailing mother in Denver. She then left by car for Gettysburg to rejoin the President who is vacationing there. Assistant White House Press Secretary Anne Wheaton' said Mrs. Eisenhower still has not decided whether to accom pany the President on his trip to Europe this month or on his trip to Russia later this "They are worth an aver age of 5V4 cents apiece to our customers." As an added incentive, Mil nes said, the company every 60 days gives away a new Pontiac Catalina sedan. "Some of our new custom ers think there's a gimmick Involved," he said, "since the car is given by only three stations (Medford, Grants Pass, Klamath Falls) but there's no gimmic it's just another way we are able to pass savings on to our cus- G-P Plans Timber Sale To Pay Bill Portland - (UPD - Georgia- Pacific Corp. indicated today it planned to sell one-billion feet of Lane county timber to repay some of the money bor rowed to finance the com pany's $93 million purchase of the : Booth Kelly Lumber company's vast holdings. The holdings included three bil lion feet of timber. A spokesman confirmed re ports that the "word was out in logging circles about the planned cutting program. Timber industry sources said Georgia-Pacific was seek ing contract loggers to cut the timber at the rate of 200 million feet a year under five year contracts. Robert Lee, public relations director, said the firm pre viously had indicated that a working . circle would be established in the Booth-Kelly timber - and that the rest of the timber would be sold to other companies. tomers with our low over- head .. high volume basis." Mimes explained that the service station chain started in Medford in 1952 with the opening of the first Fortune station here. . ' Grants Pass Station A Grants Pass station was opened in 1954, a Klamath Falls unit opened in 1955, and a station in Salem began oper ation in 1957t - In May of this year, Milnes said, the Fortune stations consolidated with five Regal scfvice stations in Portland and tomorrow will mark the 10th Regal Fortune station to begin selling gasoline. - . Another customer service of the chain, as Milnes ex plained it, is that Regal For tune operates their own credit card company and accepts any major oil credit card. Milnes stressed the fact that the chain buys its gaso line direct from one of the West's largest major oil com pany refineries. Savings in Oil ? "We are also able to pass on similar savings on oil," he said. The stations in the chain do not offer lubrication work, Milnes said, because the com pany feels that such work interferes with prompt cus tomer service at the gasoline pumps. The "gasoline supermar kets" feature premium stores and merchandise arcades. Merwin Rawland, Regal For tune's supervisor for the area, said, "It's our aim to give customers the most for their money in gasoline, conven ience and in premiums, too." Ashland-James H.
