"Vacation to Dick Is a full time Job at Klamath Lumber and Box Co. and weekend painting jaunts with artist friend, Tore Janson. So far they have painted and sketched at Spring Creek, Rocky Point, Fish Lake and Swan Lake Valley. Dick is concentrating his efforts on the casein medium this summer. Dick was born in Custer, South Dakota, and has lived in Klamath Falls for the past five years. In 1953 he graduated from Klamath union High School where he be- came seriously Interested in an art career while studying undor art instructors Robert Bannister, Richard Reinholtz and Ruth Zuleke. He has now finished two years at the California College of Arts and Crafts and will return there this fall to start on the last two years necessary for his teacher's certificate. He was awarded a part-time scholarship to help him on his way. After finishing college, Dick plans to continue his studies possibly in Mexico. The Klamath Falls summer art workshop has provided Dick with an opportunity to study under sev eral prominent artists and also broaden his scope somewhat. He studied watercolor and oils under Harde Giamatky and Gordon Ken sler, and took the sculpturing course last year under Mark Spon enburgh. He also studied ceramics and silk screening. When he returns to Oakland this fall, Dick plans to enroll in a dancing class to study creative dancing, ballet and tap, his second love. Dick is presently taking the art course being conducted by Howard Hall through August 12th. While most of his work has been land scapes and still life, he is doing a figure painting in this class, using his favorite medium, casein. For the next two weeks, through August 19th, a casein painting of the bridge at Collier Park by Dick Parker will be on display at the County Library. Editor's Note: C'mdr. E. L.

Foster, slier 15 'i ears In tlie Navy hi which he flew moro than 4,000 hours, made his first 10', hour f light into the eye of a hurricane Monday aboard a Navy Neptune patrol bomber with a crew of 10. In the follow ing difpatrh he compares the adventure with World Mar II Vandalism Slows Work SACRAMENTO (UP) The Sac. ramento School Board faced the prospect today of having some of its new classrooms Incomplete by school opening this fall because re peated vandalism has slowed down construction. Harry J. Devine. supervising ar chitect for the district, told the board last night four schools were lagging behind construction sched ule. The painting foreman on one of the jobs reported to police yes terday that vandals had opened all the paint cans on the site during the weekend, spattering the con tents on floors, walls and cabinets. "Thev break glass as fast as we can put it in," said Devine. 'They spilled paint over everything last weekend. They break accoustical tile. One weekend they broke 40 windows. Inquest Into Deaths Slated CRESCENT CITY. Calif. (UP) The coroner planned today to hold an inquest into the drowning of four members of a prominent rnoenix iamily. One body was recovered and was tentatively identified as that of Dr Fred W. Holmes. However, positive identification was withheld pend- lng the coroner's inquest. No time has been set for the inquest. Sheriff Harold Scott described the body as being that of a man about 40 years old and said he presumed It was that of Fred W. Holmes. Meanwhile, search parties re- sumed for the third straight day their search for Holmes' father. Dr. Fred G. Holmes, and his two sons, Fred Jr., 10, and Stephen, 8. The four disappeared Saturday while salmon trolling in a heavy fog off the mouth of the Klamath River. Their rented skiff was later found overturned near the rugged coast. comb.it In the South Pacilir. By Cmdr. E. L. FOSTER, I'SN Written For The Inilcfl press JACKSONVILLE. Fla. lUPI Does this compare with combat? You can say thai, brother. The only difterence between a combat mission and going into one of these babies is that tn a hurri cane your enemy nsver gives up its efforts to destroy you. All you can nee in the front or to the sides is a solid sheet of rain and gray darkness, .trid if you have time to look down we were flying as low as 300 feet you see that Atlantic Ocean reach ing up for you, and it seems about to swallow vou up. I don t ihmk anyone with nif. pent much time beinz scared. But, I kept thinking of what I'd do in an emergency, like if one of my engines conked out. And I didn't have too much time to think about that Mv hands were full, lust trying to hold on to the controls until mv co-pilot could spell me. It was as rough and uncomfortable as any thing I've ever flown through. When I hod a chance to look down, it would look like the wind was picking up that whole damned ocean and using to send it up to us. CREW Right here, Girls Take Off On Varied Trip SACRAMENTO (UP The Sac ramento sheriff's office reported today two girls, aged 8 and 12, had a busy afternoon and evening and sampicu most types 01 transportation. The girls left their homes about 5 p.m. yesterday aboard their bi cycles. Later the bikes were tound near a stable and two horses, plus saddles and bridles were missing, The girls apparently took to wa ter transportation next, because when the horses returned to their owner late, the girls' wet bathing suits were tied to the saddles. The last part of the girls' trav els were made in a sheriff's squad car after they were . found by searchers hiding in a park late last night. Son Sought In Double Murder COLUMBUS, Ohio (UP) Police issued a pickup order today for 19-year-old youth whose parents were killed in a vicious double mur der. The battered bodies of Gomer Thomas, 45, and his wife. Betty, 39 were found yesterday in the bedroom of their frame home. Charles Miller, 18, Mrs. Thomas' son by another marriage, and Mrs, Clarebelle Fast, a sister of Mrs. Thomas, forced their way into the home after earlier attempts to con tact the couple had failed. Near the bodies were two ham mers and two butcher knives, all stained with blood. A pickup order was issued lm- meediately for Robert Jacob Miller. Mrs. Thomas' other son by her pre vious marriage. CONFIDENCE HONG KONG (UP) The United Stales signalled its confidence in the future of Hong Kong today. It invited bids on construction of new Consulate General Building In this British colony. BREAKDOWN NO STREET CARS ROME W The capital of the United States and the capital of Italy had one thing in common for a while Monday no street cars. ! Rome bus drivers and streetcar operators went on token strike fori hours Monday morning to un derline demands for higher wages. Thousands of Romans walked to work. I MESSINA, Sicily ifl Modern engineering admitted today that it has not conquered the hazards of the Strait of Messina, site of Homer's Scylla and Charybdis. The last of four huge cables which engineers had strung in July above the 2 'a miles of swirling current had to be taken down Sun day. Sponsors of the plan to supply electricity poor Sicily with power from the Italian mainland said the whole project would be studied further. Coming to Klamath Fa III Dollar Days THURS. - FRI. - SAT.

Those boy: know what they're do tig. My co-pilot, Lt. (J.g.l Rocky Farrel, of Kansas City, Mo., Is ty pical of the young fellows we get from the training command. He Is perfectly capable of taking the crew out alone ana doing the job rlfht now. He has been in the outfit for about two ytars and has between 1,600 and 1,700 flying hours. I'd like to stress the requirement that every man on one of these crews must operate as a compo nent of a team. Under the cir cumstances tn which we operate. every man aboard has a specific assignment. Unless he is doing the job. the flight cannot be a suc cess. I'd sayMhe most important men on board were the two navigators, Ens. Jim Morris, and Lt. (J.g.) Dick Wing. If they don't know where we are, our value to the hurricane advisory service is lost. In the actual flight, most of all. we ust got physica'ly tired light ing the controls, trying to keep the wings level and maintain our air speed at about 165 knots (185 m.p h ). There is nothing worse than that bumping around. It is a force over which you have no control. MORTAL ENEMIES All of the elements In a storm like Connie are our mortal ene mies the hurricane force winds, the torrential rains, the terrific heat, everything. And unlike com bat flight during the war, these enemies never give up. The only way we can get away from them is to leave the storm. And we have to stay until we are able to give weather central what they ask for. About the only relief we had came when we wen: Into the calm eye of the hurricane and ihen turned the plane's jets and shot up to 10.000 teet to take pictures. Up there, it was fairly clear and very calm. We could fly around in a 20-mile diameter without frel inr; a- gust, and we were hlrh though. I'd like to '55 CHEVROLET 5 1845 DUGAN & MEST 410 So.
