LOS ANGELES Wl After seven
dry years, parched Southern Cali
fornia is finally getting a wet
winter.
A series of storms has brought
almost double the normal amount
of rainfall. Lakes, reservoirs and
streams some of them almost dry
are beginning- to fill.
But there is still a big backlog
of dryness. Lakes and reservoirs
have a long way to go to come
up to normal levels. The huge
underground water basins that
hove been depleted by years of
drought are still not affected by
the new rains. Heavy snows in
the mountains, when It melts, will
help.
McKay On Fence

whether or not he will seek another

"A lot of things can happen In

McKay was elected governor In
1048 to finish out the term of Earl
Snell, killed in a plane wreck. In
1950, McKay was elected to another
four year term.
State officers are prevented by
the state constitution from holding

completion of another man's term
Is counted as part of the eight
years.

last Wednesday.
The early morning ceiling was
reported to be 600 to 1.000 feet
In the area, more than 700 miles
northwest of Seattle, where thou
sands of square miles were charted
lor scanning.
Improving weather made pos
sible the expanded air search even
as the effects of recent storms
cut the number of vessels plying
the ocean.
Only two ships continued the hunt
by sea. Monday night the Canadian
ocean patrol ship Stonetown was
released from search duties be
cause of atorm damage suffering
In bucking 35-Ioot high waves.
Earlier Monday the heavily load
ed freighter California was ordered
to stop searching because of roucb
seas.
Remaining on search duty were

ath and the u. roins, a large
Standard Oil Tanker.
The Pennsylvania's crew radioed

"If they got away from the ship
In lifeboats they have a 50-50

ficer, said Monday.
However, the captain of a Japan
ese freighter which was in the area
when the Pennsylvania sent Its
SOS, said at Portland, Ore., it is
doubtful there are any survivors.
."The weather-Was very- bad."
said Capt. H. Maeda of the Kamik

40 knots."
Judge Says:
No Beer Sold
Claire B. Gibson, operator of
Idella's Grocery, S. 6th at Wiard
Sts., was declared innocent yester
day afternoon by District Court
Judge M. A. Carter of selling a
case of beer Sept. 13, 1951, to 19-year-old
Wilbur Oscar Pearson.
The decision arose from a trial
without Jury held last week In
Judge Carter's court.
In his declslen the judge stated
he was satisfied a case of beer
was sold to a minor as charged
in the complaint, but that there
was no direct or positive evidence
the sale was made by an employe
of Mrs. Gibson as was stated.
In testimony at the trial Pear
son said he bought a case of beer
at the store, but couldn't remem
ber which of the clerks sold It to
him.
Mrs. Gibson said at that time
only two persons were employed
at the store, herself and Louise
Ross.
Both women denied ever selling
anv beer to Pearson.
Atty. J. C. O'Neill defended Mrs.
Gibson and Deputy Dlst. Atty. Don
Piper prosecuted the case.

clear a way for the carriers to the

The local postoffice has not the
money to pay overtime, Langslet
said, and with delays such as
"hard-to-get-to-" boxes, precious
time Is consumed. Carriers some
times must be called in from their
routes though they have not yet
completed them.
"Cooperation by rural residents,"
he said, "will help get the mail

Dairymen Rehash
Oleo Problem
GEARHART W The Oregon
Dairymen's Association was told
here Monday that children are
developing a taste for oleomarga
rine because It is being served In
public schools.
Arthur Ireland, chairman of the

practice of using oleo In school
lunch programs Is spreading even
to rural areas.
L. L. Lombard, Eugene, urged
the group to promote ita own pro
ducts and not criticize other In
dustries. He said last year's legis

question was worth millions ot dol
lars to the oleo Industry.
