j r. m ci ci f' ! l Si ; r 5, ai r. ? t; Ji ' ' . : K Eight Persons, Including KF Trio, Barely Escape With Lives After 54 Harrowing Hours In Mountain Storm Caught in a deep mountain canyon In sudden snowstorm, a party of eight including Mr. and Mrs. Harold Christy and their- daughter, Betty, 17, of Klamath Falls barely escaped with their lives last weekend after spending 84 harrowing hours in the Sierras 20 miles south of Yosemite national park. Their own courage and strength, and the fortunate as sistance of a former Klamath county logging operator who made the final rescue with a bull dozen:, prevented a tragedy. They fought a raging storm in light clothes one of the women re peatedly lost her slippers in the snow and they went for two days with only two cans of beans and a can of hash divided among eight persons. The Christys were accompan ied on the trip last weekend by Mr. and Mrs. Omer W, Wisby and Mr. and Mrs. Denis Wisby, of Stockton, and Claude C. Nousen, Phoenix, Ariz. The Klamath people were in Stock ton on a business trip, and the group decided to spend the week end which offered perfect weather conditions on a camp ing jaunt into the mountains east of Mariposa. Leaving Stockton Friday, they drove to Jerseydale, 17 miles from Mariposa, and camped for the night. The next morning, they left their cars at the camp ing spot and hiked down the Devil's Gulch trail to the Merced river, eventually winding up at the Old Peach Tree Bar mine. "The weather was beautiful," said Christy today. "We had in tended to climb out Saturday evening, but the women were tired, there was a cabin there, and we decided to remain in the gulch over night and climb out the next morning. Snowing Heavily "When we got up the next morning, it was snowing heavily and there were several inches of snow on the ground. . "We started to climb back to our cars, and our troubles began. The light clothing of the women left them exposed to the cold. It was snowing so hard we could hardly see 15 feet ahead of us. The trail mounts 2100 feet in .lour miles. Fortunately, we Vere able to follow the zigzag King path, but with great diffi culty. Snowladen bushes virtu ally obliterated it. We bucked snow up to 22 Inches deep on the trail." The women became extremely tired, and the men took turns carrying poles cut along the way, with the women holding to the poles for support At one point, Mrs. Omer Wisby lay down in the snow and went to sleep. The men took turns carrying her for four miles up the steep incline. The party arrived at the cars about 6 p. m. Sunday, but the vehicles were snowbound in about 30 inches of snow... Omer Wisby and Nousen set out for help. They bucked snow seven miles through the night, arriving just at daylight at Jer seydale. .. ' ; Lifeiavtr .. Their lifesaver was George Steiner of near Jersevdale. a for mer Klamath county logging con tractor, tie got out a ouiiaozer and opened the road to a point within half a mile to the cars. There' the trail became too nar row lor tne bulldozer. The members of the- party made their - way through the snow to the bulldozer, and rode it out of the mountains. The cars are still there. r It was Monday evenins ahnut 8 o'clock when they got to Steal er's house. Steiner then used the bulldozer to open a road for four nines 10 tne xosemite parit road, which had been "dozed out" hv the state. From there they rode in another car into Stockton.

And incidentally The Pelican basketball team left today to play a game in Med- ford this weekend. There wasn't quite enough snow to keep school from open ing yesterday but there was plenty for the kids to engage in the art of snowballing. A notice was even put in the school bulle tin that students should consider the hazards to the building and to persons wearing glasses be fore throwing snowballs. Persons who wished to throw snowballs were asked to do so away from school and not involve pupils who wished to remain "neutral." The voyage of the steamship Savannah in 1817 from the Unit ed States to England marked the first time that mail had traveled by steam power instead of sails. Ample Supply LEE .

Reminding local housewives of this critical shortage, Burrell Short, chairman of the county AAA committee, pointed out that fat saving must be prac ticed every day, if existing shortages of laundry - soap, paints, textiles, wall paper and other commodities are to dis appear. Short's statement is based on word from the USDA production and marketing ad ministration. During the war years house wives accounted for 10 per cent of the inedible production, and collection must continue at this rate if the supply is to be built up to prewar levels. Short explained that world export supplies and net imports of fats and oils into tne united States are not expected in vol ume until later this year, per haps in 1947. For- this reason the American kitchen must con tinue to contribute to the back log of fats and oils from which the nation must draw for essen tial personal and household items. The end of rationing has made available more cooking fats, lard and shortening. With larger supplies now moving from grocery stores into homes, housewives will have a greater opportunity to save more used Missionary To Talk At Christian Church The Christian church of Klam ath Fulls is extending to the peo ple of this area a most cordial welcome to hear Willis J.
