SERVICE DESCRIBED - Clarence Hathaway, 7, describes the funeral service of his mother by "writing" on the hand of his father, Harold. The youth, who has been the eyes and ears of his blind and deaf parents, was permitted to remain with the couple after a court hearing a few years ago. Mrs. Hathaway died last week, the victim of a rheu matic heart. (UPI) By RALPH VILLERS United Press International Odense, Denmark (UPli En lering the land of Hans Chris lian Andersen, the traveler steps into the fairytale world he expects-medieval streets with gingerbread homes, thatched - roofed cottages, swan-dotted lakes and castles complete with legends. Odense, Denmark's third largest city, calls the famed storyteller its own, but all of Funen Island makes up the fairytale land of whicn Odense is the center. Writing Indicates Pompeii Kilroys Pompeii, Italy -lUPII-Judgini! from the number of writings found scratched into the plas ter of houses still being un covered in the ancient city of Pompeii, the city must have been one of frustrated writers as well as of pleasure, wine and dalliance. But authorities don't want any more modern Kilroys add ing to the ancient wall serilv blings. So a new notice has gone out to visitors that the practice is forbidden. Most of the writings put on the walls before that July morning in 70 A.D. when Ve suvius blew its top and wrapped the city in deadly smoke and ashes were of an amorous nature, true to the iume ot the town. But not all the writers in me old days were impressed with what Pompeii had to of fer. Disappointed A group of young Romans wnu iraveied all the way from the capital to taste some of Pompeii's pleasures did not nesiiate to scribble their dis appointment on a wall. Wrote they: "Veninius Hie Cupido Mill to Magis, Ire Cupinius Ut Lie cat Nostros Visere liomac Lares" ("We came here full nf desire. Much more we now de sire to go back where we can see our homes in Rome.") Not all of the lost city has been dug out and many things remain to be uncovered, but on one thing archeologists are agreed many more amorous writings will be found. The infection of wall scrib bling spread as the years went by. Coquille Levee Repair Approved Heart disease deaths in the U S. showed a slight drop In Washington - (UPH - The chief ! rcc,'Mt ',,ars' from "iB victims of Army Engineers has un proved the emergency repair and restoration of a flood damaged levee on the Coquille river in Oregon. Hep. Edwin R. Durno (U-Ore.) reported to day. Durno was informed the Army Engineers would build a 700 -font long setback levee at Pourie Ranch, about four miles south of Coipiille. A contract may be awnrded next month after completion of preliminary planning which is to be started immedi ately, Durno was told. wZ if Several Accidents Checked By Stale Police in Area Several traffic accidents, none causing serious injur ies, were reported to Oregon state police officers Tuesday and this morning. At 2.25 p.m. Tuesday, ve hicles operated by Lyman George Roddick, 69. of Glen- dale, Calif., and Harry John Schcibcl, 4G, of Temple City, Calif., collided on Highway 99 near the Gold Hill exit road. Officers said both cars were traveling north on Highway 99 near the exit road when the accident oc curred. Properly Damage Extensive property damage resulted from a one-vehicle accident on Hamrick rd. near the Linniger gravel pits about 3:40 p.m. yesterday. Donald Paul Tichenor, 19, of 1317 Reedy avc., was operating a stale highway department pickup when the vehicle fail ed to make a sharp curve and turned over. About 4:10 p.m. Tuesday vehicles operated by John Cornilus Verboon, 44, of Hanford, Calif., and Willetta G a y 1 e Robertson, 48, of route 1, box 337, Central Point, collided on Highway 99 at the intersection of Ehr man Way. Police said Verboon was southbound on Highway 99 in the inside lane when the Robertson car pulled from Ehnnan Way onto the high way. Mrs. riobertson sulterect a possible fractured right arm, officers reported. Pickup Truck A one-car accident about 11:15 p.m. yesterday occur red when a pickup truck went otf the road into a ditch and hit a fence. Opera tor of the truck was Donald Arthur Dcnman, 41, of l(i(i Gibbon rd., Central Point. The accident occurred on Up ton rd. near Wilson rd. About 54 feet of fence owned by Walter A. McMannis, route 1, box 588, Central Point, was damaged, police said. This morning, about 6:30 o'clock, two cars collided near the intersection of Char lotte Anne rd. and Highway 9!, causing minor damage to the vehicles. The cars were operated by Therese Kirsch Hicciarui, 38. of Reno, Nov., and Russell Edwin Davis, 48, of 216 North Main, Phoenix, according to state police. Officers said both cars were northbond on Highway 9!) following a third vehicle. The first car slowed to turn into a service station, and the Hicciardi vehicle also slowed to turn off the highway. Davis was apparently unable to stop in time and slid into the Kicciardi car, police said. Some oi the newer inscrip tions have become "antiques in their own right. One is on a wall along the road leading to the Forum and is dated 1810. "Open your door, Ros anna," it says. "My heart burns and I will destroy the world as Vesuvius did Pompeii." Rosanna must have opened the door, for the world is still with us. While it is strictly forbid den to add current sentiments to those scratched 2.000 years ago by the old Pompeiians and their guests, there just aren't enough guards on hand to keep an eye on all that goes on In every street of the dead city. Complaint Filed Seeking Damages Ronald Becker, 18, of 602 Ross lane, Medford, is seek ing $0,0(111.51 In special and general damages from Ens.

MEDFORD SHOPPING CENTER Hatfield Praises Education Picture Arlington - UW- Gov. Mark Hatfield said here Tuesday1 night that Oregon's educa- ; tional picture "is at the verge ! of greatness.'' lie called the slate's educa tional leadership the strong est, "institution for institu tion, we have ever enjoyed in Oregon, ' and said that the $3.5 million Kurd Foundation grant to the State Department of Education and "its dyna mic superintendent" are pro viding forward-looking lead- crship of the highest quality. The governor noted that for the first lime in more than year there are no vacancies i in to)) level state educational positions. Halfield said that he hoped the "fine private institutions" will be able to lake a greater proportion of higher educa tion enrollment in the state in the coming decade. j The governor said that edu- calors are accutely aware that tax reforms are import- ! ant to them if they are to get ; more money. ; "We cannot overload the taxpayer but neither can we j attord to let the quality of our education suffer." he told the audience at a dinner meeting at Arlington High j school. Castles and manor houses i ot the countryside, the hedge ows along the roadsides are epeatedly interrupted b y vhite timbered and stuccoed .ottages crowned with thick .natted straw roofs. Country inns specialize In the fish dishes expected of a north European island. Although a major manufac turing center with 125,000 residents, Odense maintains its heritage as one of Scan dinavia's oldest cities. It was in Odense that St. Canute was slain by Jutlanders in 1086. The old cathedral here still holds his remains in its crypt. Mementos Displayed Andersen's home, adjoined by a museum, stands in a quaint area of little, steep roofed buildings lining nar row cobbled streets. The mu seum boasts an impressive collection of his handwritten manuscripts and mementos of his life, down to the little leather sack in which he car ried the farewell letter writ ten him by the woman he wanted so to marry, Riborg Voigt. Odense boasts an old coun try inn right in the center of town. T imbered and stuccoed, with bright copper and an tique clocks decorating brick walls, Den Gamle Kro (The Old Inn) which dales back to 1683, is one of the most un usual restaurants to be found anywhere. It is a place where the Danes go and ask, "Could we have a table in the yard?" -the open air inside patio of the old building-and read from menus chalked onto slate. While many vacationists who include more than Cop enhagen on their Danish itin erary head for Odense-it's a delightful 85-mile rail and train-ferry trip, hours from the capital-the area stitl is to be overrun by Ameri can tourists. And that is espe cially true of Funen Island, sweeping green and ripe to the east, west and south of Odense. Picturesque Windmills It's a pleasure driving your self on the generally un crowded roads. Giant wind mills rise up along the landscape-including a "10-kroncr windmill," the one near Ege- skov, in southern Funen, which is depicted on the back of the Danish 10-crown note. Egeskov castle, less than 20 miles from Odense, is one of the showplaces of Den mark. The Fifteenth century castle stands in Its weathered red brick majesty on a moat made Island. This Is only the third year that the acres of garden sur rounding the castle have been opened to the public. Lawns and flowers of every con ceivable color sweep up to the castle. Walkways go through a cooling woods and past a high-hedge labrynth (prudent ly closed to wanderers after too many got lost and cried for rescue). The castle itself still is the home of the Count and Countess Ahlefeldt Laur vig Bille. As befits fairytale land, the castle, which is built on 12.000 pilings, has its time less legend: If the owner cele brates Christmas eve there, it will sink into the moat. Needless to say the validity of the legend has not been tested. At Nyborg, on the east coast, stands Denmark's old est castle, dating from the Eleventh century, and around which the last battle was fought in the Seventeeth cen tury when the Danes and Swedes were less friendly than now. For those wondering where else to go besides Copenhagen, there is something new in Denmark - very old Odense and Funen.
