The ??? Baffles Sheriffs Office
By. TOM STIMMEL
"The Thing" baffling, bewilder-l
ins . and blinkins appeared in
Sheriff Red Britton's mail this
Wck.
He doesn't know what to do with
It. exactly, because he doesn't
know what it is, exactly.
And that's the point. Exactly.
Seems Dr. Joseph Beeman, a
pathologist in Boise, Idaho, sent
"The Thing" to Britton soliciting
advice. Beeman called it his
"electronic wonder" and asked
what uses Red and his staff would
suggest for it.
The "electronic wonder," as
Beeman calls it, or "The Thing,"
as the sheriff's office calls it, is
a little gray plastic box, just so
big by so big, completely sealed,
with two little lights slicking out
in front.
The lights blink continually.
VThey never stop.
And that's the thing, or electron
ic wonder.
Since Dr. Beeman wanted to
know what use could be made of
it "has it helped in law enforce
ment?" was the way he put it,
Red and the bovs put it to the
test.
"I put it on a big flat rock
while deer hunting," the sheriff
wrote the inventor, "and waited.
Along came a big buck who
thought he saw a lat doe making
eyes at him. The buck stopped,
flopped forward, stopped again,
looked very close, and I let him
have it."
Deputy Fred Calfce found it
more of an enemy than a friend.
"I put it on the night stand, and
the wife came in from a late card
party, saw that thing winking at
her and tore through a Thermo
pane window," Calfee insisted. "It
cost the insurance company $25."
"The Thing" has benefited crim
i n a 1 detection tremendously,
claimed Del Summers, who put it
to a more practical lest. "I put
a prisoner in a dark room and
put The Thing in a corner," he
said. "I made him stay there for
an hour looking at those Hashes.
1 come back in an hour and he
was ready to confess anything
even things he and I never heard
of."
And so it goes. Or so Britton.
Calfce, Summers, Dale Mattoon
and the other boys around the of
fice say it goes.
"The Thing" may prove lo he a
flop as a solution to criminal
minds, but it certainly is a stimu
lant for 'creative minds.
And a very successful practical
Joke.
"BAFFLING" is one way to describe this little gray box
that arrived in the sheriff's office. That's the effect it
has had on Deputies Fred Calfee, left, and Del Summers
and the rest of the staff, for that matter.
Anti-Red Novel Wins Prize
For Russian-Born Author
Yreka Employs
Another Clerk
YREKA The employing of
xtra clerk to assist Yrcka's City
?Ierk Alton Taylor was authorized
during the brief session of the
Yreka city council Thursday eve
ning, October IB.
Mayor Jim Cummings pointed
iul the need for an extra clerk
was evident with the increased
paperwork on the city police and
the city clerk's office. City Clerk
'Taylor has two assistants, but
with the addilion of a third clerk,
the office will be able to operate
more efficiently and will allow city
poltce officers more free time for
patrol duties.
Also during the session a notice
of approval from the county boun
dary commission was received for
the proposed annexation of new
areas to the south and west of
Yreka. This, with the approval of
voters, will approximately double
the present r.rea of the city.
STOCKHOLM (AP)-Roris Pas
ternak, the Russian poet and au
thor of the anti-Communist novel
"Doctor Zhivago," today was
awarded the 1!I58 Nobel Prize in
Literature.
The award was the most dra
matic in years. The 68-ycar-old
author still lives just outside Mos
cow. The Soviet government has
not permitted publication in Rus
sia of his monumental novel about
what communism has done to
freedom and tried to prevent its
publication abroad.
The award, worlh $41,420, was
certain to be interpreted by many
as a slap in the face for the So
viet government. There was specu
lation lhat the Soviet authorities
would not allow Pasternak to re
ceive his prize, or would take re
prisals against him.
Known as the greatest living
poet writing in the Russian lan
guage. Pasternak despaired of
publishing creative writing of his
own under Slalin and for years
devoted himself lo translations of
such foreign classics as Goelhe
and Shakespeare.
"Doclor Zhivago" upon which
he had been working quietly for
10 years was completed in 1!I5I
during the de-Stalinization period
o( comparative trecdom tor writ
ers. But to make certain it was
published, he sent it abroad by a
Iriend.
The monumental novel first an
pcared in Italy in Italian last year
and was published in the United
Stales last monlh.
The 700-page book has for its
hero uin Andrcycvich Zhivago, a
wealthy doctor and writer who
tells, through literary bits he left
behind, of the tragedy of Russia
in this century.
It obviously expresses Pastor-
nak's reaction to the Russian Revolution.
Critics have hailed its sweeping
breadth and placed it in the tradi
tion of Tolstoy's "War and
Peace."
The award was made by the lfi
members of the Royal Swedish
Academy of Letters from funds
provided in the will of the late Al
fred Nobel, inventor of dynamite
The citation said it was given for
Pasternak s important achieve
ment both in contemporary lyri
cal poetry and in the field of the
great Russian epic tradition.
In an obvious attempt to fore
stall Soviet criticism, Dr. Anders
Ocslcrling, permanent secretary
of the Swedish Academy, said the
author's writing is "high above
political party frontiers." Oth
er members of the academy said
they viewed Doctor Zhivago
one of the great philosophical nov
els of our time.
