its warning was based on
findings in a nation-wide sur

omide for use in clinical in

said, 410 had made no effort

to whom they had given the
drug in containers bearing

21 Miles of Winnemucca Highway Still
Remains To Be Completed, Writer Notes
By PEG HUTCHINSON
Mail Tribuna Slafi Wiiter
Winnemucca, Nev. "Med
ford, Ore." the motel owner
exclaimed as he approached
the car. "You've come a long
way."
"Not very far by the 'Win-nemucca-to-the-Sea'
route."
You feel like a miniature
chamber of commerce as you
explain the road is paved ail
the way through to Lakeview.
Winnemucca is a welcome
sight to the east-bound travel
er on this route. Few people
and even fewer cars are seen
after leaving Lakeview. Win
nemucca is 210 miles away.
Not completed is the 21V4
miles from Blizzard Gap (6,-
120 foot elevation at the top
of the grade) to the Nevada
line. Only one coat of oil has
been applied so far, it is ex
pected to be completed this
week,) but finally one gets
used to the rhythm of the
gravel hitting the fenders.
From Lakeview to Adel it
is 34 miles, Adel to the Ne
vada line 38.5 miles, and from
the Nevada line to Highway
95, 113.4 miles. Here the traf
fic increases and of the 35
cars passed between Adel and
Winnemucca, 18 were on
Highway 95.
The section of the highway
pioneered by Lake county is of Alturas, Calif., to where
the most spectacular, contain
ing both Blizzard Gap and the
Daugherty Rim. At the Bliz
zard Gap summit the traveler
sees 7'i miles of highway
stretching into the distance
ending as it angles for three
miles up the Daugherty rim.
The view of Guano valley
from Daugherty rim is breath
taking, comparable to Death
valley only the mounds be
low are sage brush, not salt.
The highway will satisfy
the most timid driver as the
narrowest and most winding
section is the old highway be
tween Lakeview and Adel in
Warner canyon.
It was in Warner valley
there was a slight delay - not
for construction, but for a cat
tle drive.
Highway Now Paved
For this traveler, more in
teresting was rebuilt Highway
8A in northern Humboldt
county in Nevada. Three
years ago the road was trav
eled; but what a difference.
What in 1959 was an im
proved cattle trail thick with
dust, is now an asphalted
highway. Steep hills and
sharp curves have been elim
inated and we had to watch
closely to spot the remnants
of the former road. A motorist
can still travel this road east
the oil starts 38 miles west of
Denio.
The paved stretch in Ne
vada deadending' at the Ore
gon line before the Oregon
section was finished, was re
ferred to by some Nevada
politicians as "the longest air
strip in the country."
This traveler didn't side
track to Denio, having stop
ped there in 1959.
This village, being referred
to as in Nevada, caused some
confusion since it once was in
Oregon. It was recently learn
ed that the postmaster (the
post office is in his home) had
it moved to the state he pre
ferred
Prior to the highway's dedi
cation next month, travelers
should be warned that signs
are few and far between. This
means no speed signs, but also
missing are the traffic caution
signs,
' An increase in travel was
noticed since in 1959 when
only two cars were passed
along Highway 8A until it
reaches Highway 95. One can
imagine that the straight
stretches of sage brush will
soon give way to gambling ca
sinos, gas stations, and motels,
not to mention billboards of
all shapes and sizes.
Sherri Finkbine
Leaves Hospital;
To Go Home Soon
Stockholm HJPD Mrs. Sher
ri Finkbine, 30, who under
went a legal abortion here last
week, left Caroline Hospital
today.
The Phoenix, Ariz., mother
of four and her husband, Rob
ert, plan to stay in Stockholm
another week to rest before
returning to the United States.
They hope to be back in Phoe
nix Sept. 3.
Mrs. Finkbine sought the
abortion in fear her expected
baby had been deformed be
cause she took the drug thali
domide. She had been denied
a legal abortion in the United
States.
Fatug Deformed
Finkbine announced after
the operation that doctors had
confirmed the fetus was de
formed. Mrs. Finkbine was reported
in a weak condition and still
mentally agitated. She and
her husband cancelled a plan
ned trip to Paris and went
into hiding here. Finkbine ap
pealed to the press not to try
to find them. He said his wife
was so weak that a meeting
with the press could mean a
mental collapse.
Meanwhile, the Vatican
again condemned the Fink
bines' action in obtaining the
abortion.
The Vatican Radio called
the abortion "a crime," and
said that "strange is the love
of a society and of a mother
that inflict death to assure
themselves a serene and tran
quil life."
Society Blamed
Referring to the unborn
child, the radio said:
'He was a man. He was
alive. He was innocent. He has
been killed ... for the even
tual suspected deformities, so
ciety was responsible; he was
simply the victim. And yet
these things have been in
puted to him as a fault that
required capital punshment.
It was decreed for love.
He has been suppressed
for love, to spare him a life
of suffering and tears. But
even the disabled, even the
most horribly mutilated per
sons, want to live. Happiness
is an Interior and spiritual
fact."
CONTROL POSSIBLE
Washington - IUPD - Chair
man Newton Minow said
Thursday the Federal r.nm.
munications Commission may
have to regulate the lenoth
of commercials if broadcast
ers "are unable to achieve
self-discipline." Minow said
in an interview with the Na
tional Audience Board, a non
profit group, that the day Is
past due to "put up or shut
up" on self-regulations of the
broadcast time of commercials.
