Winter's premature invasion
of the mountains of Southern

Crater Lake national park.
The woman, Mrs. Frances A.
Hale of Alhambra, hiked with
her 13-ycur-old son for 12 miles
through the night to park head

morning rescued the car ond two
daughters, 17 and 11, who had
remained with the car. Mem-

tired, but otherwise all right,
rangers said.
Caught By Snow
The porty had driven into the
pork In tho night from Eugene.
Sudden snow and fog caught
them, and the car became stalled
in a snow drift. Mrs. Hale ex
hausted the gas supply trying to
get it out before undertaking
the long walk for assistance.
The snowstorm, coinciding
with the autumnal equinox, by

had deposited a light blanket on
