New Pine Creek Being thankful on Thanksgiving Day as a matter of casual good feel ing for your well-being Is one thing but being thankful for the safe de lherance of your very life Is some thing! On Friday following Thanksgiving Day the John A. Thompson family had A horrible experience which they will never forget and for the safe ending of same they will al ways be thankful. At the same treacherous spot about three miles out of Beany. Ore., where a few years ago Earl Cluff of Lakeview pulled a car out of the Sprngue river In which four pt rsons were drowned, he on Friday of last week pulled the Tlsompson car out where it was completely siiomerged except for a portion of the top and is practically a total loss. The accident occurred while the Thompsons were on their way to Klamath Falls at about 9 o'clock Friday morning. The exact cause of the car taking a sudden lunge to the nsht while traveling about 35 miles an hour in the middle of the high v.av is st ill a mystery. It is presumed by Thompson that the brakes locked as he had had similar trouble before with the brakes. This locking of the brakes apparently caused the car to veer to the right forced by the drag and slope of the highway. Thompson cr.imped his wheels to the left but the tail end of his car swung to the edge of the steep, rocky embank ment, paused at a precarious bal ance and tumbled over three or four times, coming to rest finally wheels down facing the highway, about a car's length out into the deep river. Thompson scrambled to the top of the car when the door, which he tried again and again to open, finally yielded and reached down Into " the murkv water to assist his familv. His wife meanwhile was hysterically searching for her eight-vear-old daughter as the car gushed full of muddv. gurgling water. The girl had evidently been knocked out and was pinned be neath the cushion on the floor bv ths steering wheel. Her limp bodv was finally discovered and nearly lost in the stream as Mrs. Thomp son tried to lift her out around the top of the car. Mrs. Thompson worked with her daughter on the too of the car in the shivering cold while Thomoson finally flagged down a car for help. The girl was carried to shore through nerk-deeo water while her mother followed behind. After considerable effort the girl revived and the unfortunate familv was rushed to the Beatty store where a change of clothing was made and warmth and nourishment provided. It is believed by the fami ly that the fact the girl was knocked out by a bump on her head was all that saved her life ns there was no water In her lungs. Mrs. Thompson's parents. Mr. and Mis. Earnest Robnett of New Pine Creek, were notified and they went to Bealty and brought the Thomp sons home. Aside from bruises, shock and exposure the family sus tained no serious Injury. The car Is a total loss according to report, and w as not Insured. There will be a regular meeting of the East Side grange this Saturday evening.

JJ Main at 0th ttibbs 'buna 7011 I 1 Eight up in the Four-Front SCATTERED across this nation are some ol the cagiesl auto mobile buyers ihe world ever saw. They cuf their eyeteeth on a steer ing wheel, so lo speak-they know car values from A to izzard - and you have to be plenty good to step ahead of your price class in the volume of your sales to them. Thai's why it's startling -sometimes even to us - to see the double -barreled story ol public preference that's written in the sales records and registration figures: ITEM: Only three cars outsell Ktiick-and all of Ihese are in the so-called "low-price field." ITEM: In some localities - and guile often in polls that ask "Which car will you buy next?" -Huick ranks not fourth, hut third, actually ahead of one of the lowest-priced three. Naturally, the smart buyer will ask "I low come?" Well, the most standout style of the season, the style that's the clearest forecast of wonderful things lo be, undoubtedly has much to do with it. 15ul that isn't all. The dollar is still a prctly importanl measuring stick. So we don't think Buick could be where il is il il didn't offer a bigger dollar's worth - bigger in size and substance, in lift and life, in soft ride and easy handling, bigger in the all-round happiness you'll get oul of your buy.. Which suggcsls, of course: Why go aguinsl the solid judg ment of your fellow men r" Why not see your Buick dealer now-with or with out a car to trade -and place the order that will put you where you belong, right up in the four-front?
