KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE 3A 5 1 ; sV' r -w , ', ' l sr' "Tj;1i5-1;s frIf?T3-- " "'a v . r" Grange Blasts Bad Condition Of West Road Mail Deadline To Hold Firm Kdilnr'i N'nlr: The following is a copy of a letter senf recently to the Oregon Stale Highway De partment by the Fort Klamath Grange. f Several weeks ago. Kort Klam ath Grange sent you a, resolution asking that in the interest of safe ty the timber road between Crane I Creek and Three Mile. West Side Klamath Lake Highway be wid ened. We had replies from the highway department and the Forest Service i saying preliminary examinations, were being made, and all were in accord that a danger potential ex isted. The Forest Service person nel were definitely in favor of pro claiming an emergency sale of the hazardous trees standing close to the road bed. Observing no action taken we made inquiry and have been in formed the highway department now objects to going ahead with the proposed widening. In all fair ness to the traveling public, Fort Klamath Grange strongly urges you to reconsider. There have been several accidents and numerous near-accidents on the West Side Highway since our former com munication and the logging season has only begun. We have been told the objection of the highway department is the lack of funds to buy powder for the removal of stumps. Classed as an emergency sale, the proviso could be included that the purchaser of the timber would be responsible for the removal of the stumps. In this way there would be little or no cost to the highway depart ment. Let us not wait until there is a fatal accident or extensive proper ty loss before taking needed ac tion. Cecil M. Brown, Secy., Fort Klamath Grange WASHINGTON AP Sorry, but the Post Office Department says there'll Tie no free loading of mail at the old postal rates alter July 31. Not even for one minute. The nation's new scheduled of postal rates goes into effect next Friday, Aug. 1.

Dad Charges Mom Sadistic LOS ANGELES. (UPI) - Deb bie Fowler, 3, looked like a "little crestfallen plucked duckling" when her mother "sadistically" cut olf her blonde curls, her an gry father charged today. Maxwell Fowler, 33, ' a credit manager, sought a contempt of court citation against his es stranged wife, Virginia, also 33, after she gave the girl a haircut. Fowler charges his wife's hair cut left Debbie "with a crude, ragged, one-inch 'butch' haircut." He said the girl was "broken hearted" by her mother's action. The department Intends to obey the letter of the law, a spokesman said, and this means letters mailed after midnight, July 31, must bear postage at the higher rates.

AMERICAN BAPTIST CHURCH Muilo Room Allimont Jr. Hlfh S9AO Sooth 6th Sunday Services - 1 1 a.m. A DANGEROUS HIGHWAY SITUATION in Klamath County has been pointed out fo authorities by the members and officers of the Fort Klamath Grange regarding the Westside road. In a letter sent to the Oregon State Highway Department and subsequently published as a letter to the editor in the Herald and News (July 9) the grange points out that the current conditions on the Westside Road present a menace to normal travel; a menace, they point out, which will tend to increase as the pressure of logging traffic increases. In order to clarify the situation the Herald and News sent staff photographer Ott Ellis to the scene. The above pictures point out a few of the danger spots along the scenic but dusty route. As will be noticed in the upper left hand picture the road is just barely wide enough for a truck and car to clear safely when meeting. The truck pictured was pulled off the road as far as possible while the driver repaired a flat tire. Normally the truck would not be this far out, nor is this spot one of the narrower ones along the road. The upper right hand picture presents an example of potential curve danger in which trees closely border the road, preventing any successful turnout in case of a wide-swinging car or truck. The lower left picture presents another dan ger spot in the form of sharp curves occurring on the ridges, thus obviat ing chances for a view of oncoming traffic. At certain times of the year the dust in these areas is thick enough to almost completely obscure the drivers' vision. The lower right hand picture shows a comparatively wide spot in the road at one of the many culverts and points up the generally narrow nature of the road. In the public interest a reprint of the grange letter is carried with this picture story. See story at right. Thor Missile Bursts Apart CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) A Thor intermediate range bal listic missile burst apart with a violent roar high in the sky early Saturday shortly after launching. The missile streaked aloft at 1:40 a.m. but a minute and 10 spconds later it exploded into two pieces with a brilliant flash of orange flame. The two sections plunged into the ocean about five miles from the launching site streaming trails of flame and smoke. The cause of the explosion was , not known immediately. It was the 17th Thor fired in a stepped-up program aimed at de veloping the missile for opera tional capabilities by December. The missile reportedly was launched toward an impact area 1.5(10 miles out in the Atlantic. The Air Force said in a brief ennouncement that a malfunction occurred 70 seconds after the launching, causing the missile to break up. "The reason for the breakup rannot be determined until data has been evaluated," officials said. The breakup was witnessed by 12 congressmen here on a tour of the missile test center. The takeoff and initial vertical climb appeared to be' normal be fore the blast came. One of the flaming sections tumbled earthward soon after the explosion. The second continued on as a tiny dot in the sky for . several seconds before il too lipped toward the sea. The previous three Thor flights apparently were successful. The last mishap occurred April lfi when a Thor blew up shortly after blasting from its launching pad. The missile, which is competing with the Army Jupiter for IRBM supremacy, is expected to be as signed to Royal Air Force units in England by December. The Thor, developed by Douglas Aircraft Co., will provide the ini tial push for the Air Force's three stage moon rocket which report edly will he launched next month. Meanwhile, the Air Force an nounced it had called off its three day search for a Thor-Able rocket nose cone housing Wickie the mouse. The mouse was shot fi.OflO miles through space and back to earth inside the .advanced nose cone of the mighty two-stage rocket Wednesday. The nose cone splashed into the ocean near the coast of Africa COLLECTION TIME AGAIN, HOPE TO BE. SEEING- YOU SOON J - Reuther Says Auto Dealers Will Submit DENVER (UPD-Uniled Auto Workers president Walter Reuther said here Friday the stalemate between his union and the nation's big three automohile manufactur ers will be resolved in favor of labor.
