Man Killed by Conveyor
Chain at New Pine Creek
NEW PINE CREEK Funeral
rltea were held here last Satur
day afternoon for Cecil Henry
Aldridge, ago 43, who was killed
when repairing the fuel convey
or chain at the Crano Crack
Lumber company' plant at Wil
low ranch, Juno 2.
Report on how tho accident
occurred agree that Cecil had
given hi helper, Harvey Win-
yerd, the word to turn on the
(team engine which operate the
conveyor chain, a he had it back
on the sprocket ready to go.
Just a Harvey itarted for the
long ladder going from the plat
form under the chain down to
the boiler room, a leaky valve
had evidently caused enough
steam-pressure to accumulate In
the piston chamber of tho en
gine, causing It to start the chain
going prematurely.
Harvey shot a- quick glance
back at Cecil who was crawling
through the chain on hi hands
and knee about eight feet or
less from the end of it.
The sight so frightened Har
vey that he never took time to
go down the long ladder but
leaped through the air down up
on the steel top of the sterling
boiler, a distance of 12 feet or
more, then down to the ground,
bent only on getting to the valve
and turn it off, to save a man'
life. But all this heroic quick
thinking and action waa of no
avail for the accumulated steam
pressure had spent itself and the
engine had again stopped of its
own accord before Harvey could
reach the valve. Nevertheless the
damage had been done as the
chain had traveled 30 or 40 feet
and a man' life was snuffed out.
Harvey, still frantic, dashed
back up the ladder and found
his co-worker mangled under
the heavy chain and now in the
conveyor trough, having passed
up under tho chain around the
end sprockets, bleeding profuse
ly. He managed somehow to lift
the chain alone sufficiently to
get the body out. Some workers
estimated that he had lifted
aroun l 400 pounds. Cecil, still
gasping for breath, was hurried
too the Lakeview hospital but
died on the way.
Although Cecil had not lived
around here very much of the
time in the last 13 years, he was
well known throughout the val
ley and also In Surprise valley
where, at Fort Bidwell, he had
owned and operated a light plant
for around 12 years. He had also
worked for the Jensen Power
plant up Pine Creek canyon, now
owned by the California Public
Service company.
Cecil was born In Summer
Lake February 28, 1900, the eld
est son of George Harry and Eva
Aldridge. He leaves to mourn his
passing his mother, his wife,
Thelma, three daughters, Mrs.
Dorothy Hansan, Mrs. Betty Vas-
sis and Emogene Reeves, all of
Herlong, Calif. Also his brother,
Delbert, one sister, Lena Smith,
two grandchildren, two nephew
and one niece.

What About This Sftufiff, Dad?
Don't get me wrong, Dad. Getting home
for a spell and finding things pretty much
the way I left them is the greatest sight in
the world. I've been in some strange places
in the last year, but as far as I'm concerned
there isn't a spot in the whole South Pacific
that can hold a candle to the patch of God's
green earth I'm standing on right now.
There's just one thing I didn't expect to
see, Dad. It's this old scrap pile. Back in
New Guinea when a new ack-ack gun or
field piece rolled into position I used to
think, Maybe Ma's old cast iron laundry
stove is in that baby. Or my old music
stand the one you tossed out when you
saw I wasn't cut out to be the world's
greatest violinist!
Up town they tell me the Government has
sent out another S.O.S. for more scrap.
They say it's going to take every stray
pound of scrap metal to fill the quota, and
that's going to mean looking for it in every
barn, tool shed, cellar, attic and kitchen
cupboard fa the country. Why, there's
enough in this one pile alone to make
mincemeat out of dozen Zeros and a
couple of subs to boot!
I know you're swamped, Dad, with no help
and working every acre of the farm thit
year, but if you'd been where I've been
and knew how badly this scrap is needed,
you'd find some way to get it to town.
Do it pronto, Dad, before harvesting comes
along, or bad weather sets in. Better yet,
let's load this stuff today, Dad, and I'll
drive it to town for you. We can sell it to
the junk man, or donate it to the U.S.O.,'
Red Cross, or one of the other organiza
tions enlisted in the second scrap round-up.
My furlough' nearly up, Dad. Next
week I'll be shipping out again ... some
where. Wherever it is I'll feel a lot better
if I know part of my own backyard it
following me across, backing me up with
ammunition from this old scrap.
