Klamath .Falls Marble
i and Granite Worki
A family which waa hit twice
by California's weather disasters
stopped off in Klamath Falls to
seek aid Monday, according to
County Judge George Grizzle.
Judge Grizzle said that the man
of the family visited his office to
seek gas with which to continue
on to the home of relatives in the
Milton-Freewater country.
He told the judge that he moved
some time ago to the Los Angeles
district and began purchase ot a
home. Two weeks ago he had fin
ished buying the house and had
just made final payments on
household furnishings, when the
flood rose and swept all hla be
longings Into the ocean.
The family managed to get to
high ground but saw neighbors
disappear down stream in the
raging waters. With everything
gone, the refugees decided to go
to the man's parents at Milton
and got together a little cash tor
the trip.
Moving Into central California,
their car became trapped In an
other flood and was so badly dam
aged it took all of their remaining
cash to repair it.
At Dunsmulr, they were given
a tank of gas by the police chief
and came on to Klamath Falls.
Judge Grizzle arranged to supply
the refugees with more gas, and
they set out again, hopeful they
would encounter no more bad
weather between Klamath Falls
and Milton.
