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)

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.

dale, Calif., and Harry John
Schcibcl, 4G, of Temple City,
Calif., collided on Highway
99 near the Gold Hill exit

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.

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.
