DOROTHY LIN'DSAY 1
We have another potential art In
structor in our midst in Dick
Parker who is home for summer
vacation from his studies at the
California College of Arts 'and
Crafts in Oakland.
"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.

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.

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.

emphasize that I've got pretty
much a veteran crew. 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
