Girl Admits
Knife Slaying
LAS VEGAS, N. M. UP) A
16-ycar-old airl admitted Uic slay
ing here Thursday night of an
eldcrlv bachelor whom her nfothcr
. had fought Just a few hours ear
p licr, police said Saturday.
Sheriff Manuel Ortiz said the
victim. Alfredo Gallcgos. 70. was
beaten with a piece of wood and
stabbed with a butcher knife.
Another olficer said there were at
least 100 slab wounds on the body.
Ortiz said the girl, Felicita
Martinez, confessed killinn Galle
gos in his apartment here. She
was calm and pparently unruf
fled by the slaying, Ortiz said.
The sheriff said the girl took
him and his deputies to the apart
ment and re-enacted the killing,
producing the piece of wood she
used to strike the elderly man
with and the knife she used in
the slaying. She did not, however,
give a motive, Ortiz said.

Six persons were killed Saturday

were riding smashed into the rear

The Suburban Fire Department's
fire loss, according to M. G. Gor
don, fire chief, was lower last
year then in the past several
years.
In 1955 the department answered
166 alarms. Two were false. Mu
tual aid was rendered to neighbor
ing fire departments three times.
There were no injuries in the line
of duty .during the 12 months
period, -r
An Important factor in cutting
down fire losses, Gordon said has
been the excellent response from
volunteer firemen in answering
alarms and the proficiency at
tained through the use of radio.
The suburban department was
the first among local rural fire
departments to take advantage of
tho state and federal aid program
in securing radio equipment for
its trucks, including a base trans
mitting station, eight, two-way mo
bile and five, walkie-talkie units.
Since then other Basin fire de
partments have added radio equip
ment in order to operate more ef
ficiently In their districts. The
Tulelake. OTI, Bonanza, Merrill,
Malln, Stewart-Lennox and Klam
ath County fire departments now
all have radio equipped trucks,
with walkie-talkie units, which has
created a network throughout the
Basin, operated on a standard fire
frequency, that permits contact
between departments through the
base transmitter located at the
Suburban Fire station, for mutual
aid.
The inter-communication system
has been used a number of times
in the last year.
A recent example that the sys
tem played in local rescue work,
revolved around a case where sec
onds meant the balance between
life and death, according to an
attending physician. The OTI fire
department sent out a oall for help
requesting a supply of oxygen for
a rcsuscitator emergency case,
which was delivered in time to
save a life.
Gordon in making his report on
1955 fires, said that the web of
communications between' the com
munity fire departments would be
extremely Important in civil defense.

Smog Causes
Lung Cancer
WASHINGTON (UP) A govern
ment authority said Saturday all
available evidence indicates the
chief cause of lung cancer is the
contaminated ' air of America's
industrial cities.
Dr. W. C. Hueper. head of the
environmental cancer section of
the National Institutes of Health,
said there is no evidence clgarets
are a "major factor" in cancer.
But, he said, they play a "pos
sible contributory role."
Hueper, in the current Isue of
the Public Health Service maga
zine "Public Health Reports." said
experiments, statistics and exhaus
tive surveys all support the con
clusion that "atmospheric pol
lutants are to a great part re
sponsible for the causation of lung
cancer."
He strenuously urged "rigid
measures to discourage the intro
duction" of new cancer-causing
chemicals into the air.
WASHINGTON (UP) ' Rep.
George P. Miller (D-Calif) Satur

taking money for land for duck
hunters and giving it to the oil

Miller criticized the Interior De

by the department's Fish and

HENDERSON, Ky. i A certain

of three vicious slayings traced to
the "mad dog killer."

Miller said lands bought for

act are bought with the money
sportsmen paid to the government
for duck stamps.
"If those refuges, created from
acouired lands, are opened for oil

taking money away from the
sportsmen and giving It to the oil
people," Miller said.
An Interior Department spokes

continue with their own classes un
til the end of the term.
A copy of the "Reclamation
Era." says, "that the Tulelake di
vision of the Klamath Reclama
tion project was the only one in
the United States in which school
facilities were forgotten."
When the 1927 homesteaders
moved to their land, no provision
had been made from any source
to build a school. A few children
were taken to Merrill, others were
taught by Mrs. L. C. Klrby, a
qualified teacher, still living at
Tulelake.
A drive for funds was promoted
and enough donations were re
ceived from the homesteaders and
from merchants in Merrill, Malin
and Klamath Falls to get the
necessary equipment for emergen'
cy classes.
Mrs. Mary Motschenbacher,
Mrs. Nlta Stevenson and Ray
Laird were appointed to serve on
an emergency school board, 8am
Calhoun, allowed easement pro
ceedings for a school house on a
corner of his homestead, a site on
which the present school building
stands.
Under the direction of Walter
Storey and .Walter Turnbaugh, the
walls of a one-room frame build
ing went up. As the time for
classes neared and the building
was still not complete, the wom
en took a hand and two, Gladys
England and Evea Adams, "went
aloft" to help Phil Llskey do the
shingling.
Classes opened the fall of 1928
with Pearl Thomas as teacher. Old
desks, an organ from an aban
doned school from Oklahoma flats
near Dorrls, and a pot-bellied, sage
brush burning stove furnished the
building. . '
Teacher Thomas lived in a tent
until Christmas when a one-room
building was finished for her use.
- About the time of the first snow,
romance entered the life of the
lonely teacher. William Carsley
came to haul in wood and to clean
the floors without pay. It was the
way to a teacher's heart. Two
years later, she married her gal
lant janitor.
The Winema Welfare Club, or
ganized that year, sponsored school
activities, acting as an early day
PTA and has since functioned tor
the welfare of the school and com
munity. The first church service in the
community was held in the origi
nal building. The Winema school
district was formed with Walter
Turnbaugh, Ralph Ganger and
William Anderson as directors
Children rode to school on horse
back or plodded dusty and snowy
roads. The first eighth grade grad
uates in 1930 were Helen Wolfe,
now living In Lima, Peru and
Louis Durkee.
By the time the 1932 homestead
ers arrived Clark Fensler had
converted , a farm truck into
school bus and. was hauling high
school students to Merrill. The
school was enlarged and a larger,
.home for the teacher was built
which later burned. As students
increased, space was limited and
community activities held in the
school building were curtailed.
When the Japanese relocation
center at Newell was closed a
building from that location was
moved to the Winema site and
converted Into the present three
room building. Disposition of this
building has as yet not been de
cided upon. . .
Sunday, January 22, the Winema
Welfare Club will sponsor a 5:30
p.m. potluck dinner and reminis
cent program at the school house
as a farewell to an era that is
past.
