SYMBOLIC BACKUKOP The statue of Abra
ham Lincoln, the president who freed the
slaves, serves as a symbolic backdrop of civil
rights leader A. Philip Randolph at the Lincoln
Memorial in Washington, D. C. Wednesday.
Randolph, March on Washington director, and
other civil rights leaders addressed participants
at the memorial. (UPI)
Sen. Clair Engle Reported in 'Excellent Condition in D. C.
Bv United Press International
Sen. Clair Engle, D-Calif., was
reported to be in "excellent con
dition" last week following
brain surgery in Washington,
lie underwent the operation
Aug. 24 to correct what was
termed a minor circulatory dif
ficulty. But the public didn't
get wind of the operation until
three days later.
The circulation trouble had
affected the senator's right arm
and leg, his office said. The sur
geon reported that the opera
tion was "completely success
ful" and said Engle should be
in the hospital only a week or
10 days.
Engle's administrative assist
ant said the senator began suf
fering cramps in his leg and
arm while on a recent trip to
Sacramento. When he returned
to Washington, D. C, Engle be
gan receiving preliminary tests
and decided to enter the hospi
tal for more extensive examination.

SUICIDE
According to a note in "The
New Physician," Dr. John L.
Bach of Chicago, says that in
the United
States among
persons be
tween the ages
of 15 and 50
years suicide
today is the
fifth leading
cause of death.
It is surprising
how many
Aivani y o u n g s t ers
commit suicide. .
I have read that in 1960, 19,
450 persons committed suicide.
..This figure, which is bad enough
does not include the 100,000 or
more people who die each year
from complications causeu by
an attempt at suicide which
did not immediately kill, but
later did. Also, not listed are
.the many hidden suicides whose
certificates of death are not
accurate because the physician
did not care to outrage the per
son's family. Naturally, t h e
family much prefers that their
loved one's death read accident
and not suicide. We all know
of cases in which a man fell
out of a window. In such a case
the family may know perfectly
well that for some time the
person had been much depress
ed and had been talking of
suicide and perhaps threaten
ing it; but the official record
made is that of an accidental
death. Many a person also who
took enough capsules of some
barbiturate to cause death is
put down as having taken a
few extra by mistake.
I look forward to the day
when all people will realize that
a person who commits suicide
was not bad, but ill or very
unhappy. Usually he was badly
depressed, and sometimes I
happen to know that he had one
or two depressed relatives who
committed suicide.
' Some elderly people commit
suicide because they are dying
of disease, or they feel that life
no longer holds for them any
usefulness or satisfaction or
joy.
Fortunately, in some coun
tries in which suicide used to
be looked on as a serious crime,
it is no longer so considered.
Safety Measures For The Old
The National Safety Council
recently urged that more efforts
be made to keep Grandpa and
Grandma from having a bad
accident. They say that last
year, some 14,000 persons over
65 died from accidents that took
place in the home. The leading
causes were falls, fires, and
the taking of poison by mis
take. And so, the Council recom
mends that every effort be
made to watch out for some
thing that the old person can
trip over, like a long telephone
cord, or a low magazine rack
on the floor, or a child s top.
Man traps are small rugs
which haven't a rubber mat
under them, and many is the
old lady who has fallen on such
a rug, smashed her hip, got
pneumonia, and died.
All stairways should be light
ed at night (with a weak base-
plug light). Any old person who
has to get up at night, as prac
tically all old persons have to
do, should have a light left in
the bahtroom. If he or she has
to go down a hallway, it should
be lighted. One of my dear
friends got killed because go
ing down a dark hall to the
bathroom she took the wrong
turn and falling down a flight
of stairs, she broke her neck.
A non-skid wax should be
used on floors. Many women
are proud of the fact that their
floors are extremely well pol
ished, but these are trjps for
older people, and many a man
or woman has died because of
a fall on a well-waxed floor.
There ought to be hand rails
on all stairways, and ideally,
there should be grab bars by
the bath tub and by the bed.
All old people, when they at
tempt to get up quickly out of
bed or out of a chair, shouid
have something that they can
hang onto for a moment if they
should become very dizzy, as
they sometimes do.
Smokers should never smoke
in bed, especially when alone.
That should be an absolute
rule. A high percentage of fires
in hotel rooms is due to smok
ing in bed; and oftentimes the
Christmas Tree
Growers To Hold
Mt. Shasta Meeting
Siskiyou County The fall
meeting of the California Christ
mas Tree Growers will be held
in Mt. Shasta on Sept. 13, with
a tour of the Ken-Del Christmas
Tree Farm on the following day,
as announced by Advisor Bill
Ruddiman, of the Siskiyou coun
ty office of Agriculture Exten
sion service.
Highlights of the meeting will
be a talk on marketing and ship
ping Christmas trees by Melvin
J. Conklin, professor of agricul
ture economics at Oregon State
university.
Conklin, an authority on the
subject, has conducted extensive
surveys in the Los Angeles and
Bay areas in marketing Christ
mas trees, and is the author of
"Home Owner Markets for Pa-
person who started the file
dies in it.
All medicines should be kept
apart from household cleaning
agents. W e must remember
that the old person, without his
or her glasses, can easily make
a mistake, and can take poison
instead of a sleeping medicine.

suffer from a mild or severe
mental disorder? Know how to

Trees."
He replaces Professor Stan
ley Gessel of the University of
Washing ton, previously an
nounced as the speaker on the
meeting program.
The Saturday field tour of
the Ken-Del Christmas Tree
Farm at Tcnnant will include
stops to look at stands of Silver
Tips (red fir) now under man
agement for Christmas trees,
fertilizer trials and adaptation
tests of the new hybrid varieties
of pines suitable for Christmas
trees.
Northern Californians interest
ed in the production or market
ing of Christmas trees are in
vited to attend the meeting and
the field tour.
Information about the p r o
gram can be obtained from
Ruddiman at the courthouse in
Yrcka, and arrangements should
be made with him to attend
either the meeting or the tour.
Doctors diagnosed the diffi
culty as stemming from the
brain condition and recommend
ed surgery. Engle's office said
there was no evidence of a tu
mor or malignancy.
Engle, a supporter of the ad
ministration, has spent 20 years
in Congress the last five in
the Senate.
Elsewhere, there were these
developments:
Murder: A 37-year old mother
was accused of killing her hus
band with the help of her three
teenage sons in an El Monte
family murder plot. Los Angeles
County sheriff's homicide detec
tives charged Mrs. Elsie Farley
and her eldest son, Shelby Jr.,
18, with murder in the slaying
of the bovs' father, Shelby Far
Icy Sr., 42.

Grange News
Upper Rogue Grange
The Upper Rogue Grange met
recently with Master Roy
Vaughn presiding.
At a public meeting proceed
ing the business session, Repre
sentative Edward Branchfield
explained the new tax bill, and
answered questions about it.
On agriculture, Roy Vaughn
spoke on the pear harvest, stat
ing that there would only be a
20 per cent Bartlett crop. Work
on the new highway at Pi spect
was reported to be progressing
satisfactorily.
The resignation of Lecturer
Ida Mae Eastman was accepted.
The Eastman ranch on Laurel
hurst rd. has been sold, and the
family is moving from the com
munity. For the balance of the
year the lecturer's program will
be arranged by individual mem
bers of the Grange.
The Grange potluek dinner
held recently was well attended.
The HEC will meet Thursday,

lunch at the home of Mrs. Paul
Torrance. This will be the first
meeting after the summer recess.
13, were held by juvenile m
thorities. Detectives swd t
family admitted killfR the fa
ther, 'a railroad vichman, be
cause "he had to a brute for
12 years." Officers also said the
victim was a "Mligerent brute
husband." The mother and her
sons beat the lather, smothered
him and then held him below
water in a bathtub until he
ceased to struggle, detectives
said.
Hear tor: Dr. Pierre Saint
Amand, who studied the Chil
ean earthquakes in 1W0, said
the Pacific Gas and Electric
company's nuclear site at Bode
ga Head was the worst founda
tion he could envision. Follow
ing a two-day visit to the north
ern California site, he said the
reactor would probably under
go 13 feet permanent displace
ment in a severe earthquake.
Plane: A crippled F104B fight
er plane with two astronaut can
didates aboard crash landed and
burst into flames at Edwards
Air Force Base. But both men
escaped without injury. The pi
lot, Capt. David R. Scott, 31, of
La Jolla, stepped from the plane
just before it kurst mt fleiecs
Capt. Mirhaxt' J. A1ms, 33, of
Saeramenta, mate a se.esful
ejection immediately U(o im
pact. Both men were assigned
to the Aerospace Research Pi
lot School along with 13 others.
March: California cities stag
ed their own civil rights demon
strations to coincide with the
rally in Washington, D. C. At
Sacramento, members of CORE
conducted a "sunrise service"
on the steps of the state cap
itol. In San Francisco, a crowd
of 1,500 gathered in front of
city hall for a 45-minute rally.
And in Santa Rosa, a freedom
march of 100 suddenly balooned
into a parade of more than 1.000
by the time the walkers reached
the court house steps.
Montgomery: Actor George
Montgomery won a desperate
struggle for a gun and his
life and had to dodge one
shot before he overcame a for
mer maid whose romantic ad
vances he spurned. The woman
hid for two days in Montgom
ery's Van Nuys home before
confronting him on his return
from a trip. Police said the wo
man, Ruth Wenzel, 37, admitted
planning a murder-suicide.
Graham: Evangelist Billy
Graham told 37,000 persons in
Los Angeles that "forced inte
gration will never work." Ho
added that the racial problem
will "not be settled in the
street but it could be settled
in the hearts of man." Graham,
speaking at a rally, said "the
Supreme Court or the Con
gress can make all the deci
sions they feel are necessary.
But unless these decisions are
implemented by good will, love
and understanding, then the
tension will increase until it ex
plodes in violence."
Rocks: John Peter Connolly,
32, of Garden Grove, was kept
busy at Lake Tahoe scrubbing
rocks along a four-mile stretch
of scenic highway. Connolly had
thought it would be fun to paint
his family's names on the road
side rocks. But the fun turned
to work when a local judge or
dered him to remove the paint.
Fair: The 110th California
Stale Fair and Exposition
opened in Sacramento. Officials
hoped (or a record attendance of
more than 1 million at the 13
day event, which closes Sept. 9.
