GASOLINE BLAST ROUTS FIREMEN Firemen flee a gigantic wan of flame cre
ated by exploding gasoline storage tanks in Kansas City, Kansas. 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.

Debris Removed
From Mt. 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."
