FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 28. 1958 , PAGE FOUR HERALD AN'D NEWS KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON FOR THE SECOND TIME since World War II, the Soviet Union has published almost complete information on its exports, showing that a new record was set in 1957 in terms of raw materials. An indication of Russian industrial growth is seen in the fact that the 1957 exports of refined oil products doubled the 1954 figure. Tin exports exploded from 3,300 tons in 1956 to 18,300 tons in 1957, only 7,000 tons of which went to other Communist countries. Lady Drivers Survey Says SACRAMENTO (UPI) Califor nia ladies must have pull with the Department of Motor Vehicles. That's the only conclusion a man can reach after seeing the results of a department survey of 94.935 drivers licensed three or more years. The agency Issued the survey Thursday, giving all the lean meat to the women ana the giz lard to the men. This is what the stalisticians claim to have found In their sam pling of driver records! About 51 per cent of the men had been cited for traffic viola tions but only 24 per cent of the women. Between 90 and 94 per cent of the women had driven without ac cidents, only 80 per cent of the men. The men didn't even come close to the 23-year-old women's violation free level until the age of 62. The agency's sampling five men drivers for every three worn TOPS EVERYTHING Printed Pattern 9144 12-20,40,42 Sew-easy i'nnled Pal tern!

It was found that 37 per cent of l!)-year-old youths had rieen involved in accidents and 78 per cent of 22-year-old men had chalked up traffic convictions. On the other hand, women at the age of 23 "hit an even stride that lasts for the rest of their lives.. About three-fourths of the ladies drive without accummulating traf fic tickets. The men didn't even reach the 65 per cent conviction-free level until the age of 62. Then the stat isticians found they have "odd peaks of excellence" at ages 76 84 and 87 . and reach a momen tary near-perfection" at 89 and 90. 'There is a mysterious fall from grace at the dangerous age of 91, the survey notes, follow ed by a quick recovery at 92 and 93." (The department cautioned, how ever, that samplings in the very advanced ages were "so slim as not to have serious weight slatis tically). Lxplaininz the apparently safer performance of women behind the wheel, the agency could only sug gest that "women tend to be li censed later in life than men, and probably average less driving ex perience. The statisticians found that over a three-year period, partially be cause of the feminine contribution. 86 per cent of all drivers sampled had gone without accidents, and 59 per cent had been without court convictions. Significantly, the department feels, drivers with three traffic offenses on their record had four limes as many accidents as those with no convictions.

In the last six months, eight cases from Klamath County have been admitted to tu berculosis hospitals. However, the dangers of the dis ease are not reflected in these fig ures, which pertain only to cases of hospitalization. Health authori ties and the tuberculosis associa tion are concerned not only with these hospitalized patients, but with their families, and others who have been in close contact with them. In some individual cases as many as 40 people have been skin tested or X-rayed to see if the disease has been transmitted to them. The sale of Christmas Seals not only supports such activities, but also contributes to the research which has made possible the de velopment of new types of surgery and new drugs that are more efficient in fighting the disease It is developments such as these that have made possible the clos ing of Kastern Oregon Hospital at The Dalles. In preparation of the 1958 Christmas season, over 9,000 en vclopes offering seals for sale have been stuffed by the 40 et 8 Society. In addition, Girl Scouts will be selling the seals in booths at the First National and U.S. National barlks. downtown, and at the Low Cost Market in the Town and Country Shopping Center. These booths will operate on Sat urdays, December 6, 13 and 20. Buy and use Christmas Seals so that the fight against tuberculosis can go on. Blast Rips Gas Trailer SALEM (AP)-A trailer loaded with 4,075 gallons of gasoline broke loose from a tank truck and exploded on the edge of Highway 99E near here today. There were no injuries, but traf fic was re-routed around the blaze for two hours. Police said Darrell C. Stevens of Eugene was the driver of the truck, en route from Portland to Eugene. When the track was about a half mile south of the Baldock Free way Junction here, the trailer be gan whipping from side to side and then broke away from the truck. , Police said it veered just off the road and then blew up. Stevens was not injured. Neither were the occupants of several houses about 150 yards from the blast. The trailer burned furiously. and at one. time shot flames 300 feet into the air. Loss in the fire was estimated at over $8,000 by Stevens. The truck and trailer were owned by the Ricck Oil Co. of Eugene. Stevens told state police his steering gear apparently went bad. A jerk of the truck snapped the connection with, the trailer, which flipped completely over and burst into flames on the side of the highway. The truck was not damaged. Firemen said that burning gaso line covered the highway and in tense heat kept them away from tne naming truck. At one time, flowing gasoline endangered homes near the highway. But this was controlled by firemen. Oregon Weather By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Max. Mln.

NEILSON was given this partly-roasted turkey by a fireman who found it in the ruins of Carl Lake's Fairway Market during yesterday's fire which destroyed the Gieng er Building in Chiloquin. The bird, shown being inspected by Bud Parazoo, was intended to replace the one Mrs. Neilson had roasted on the eve of the fire, which des troyed their apartment. The Neison's and their 4-year-old daughter escaped from the blaze without even saving their shoes but they were soon supplied with new ones. Fire Chief and Mrs. George Hobbs were the first to provide shelter to the Neilsons, who then spent the night at the V. M. Taylor home. By Friday morning they had found a furnished house to rent. Shown at left with Neilson is Royal Matt, one of the many spectators at the fire. Nice Day For In Spite Of A AUGUSTA. Ga. (UPD-Grandpal grumped about the carving knife. It couldn t cut butter, much less a 35-pound turkey. Besides that, the kids didn't want anything but white meat and when it came time for dessert, they turned down the pumpkin pie and yelled for ice cream. So it went Thursday at Thanks giving dinner in thousands of Am erican homes and particularly at the transplanted White House here where the grandpa was President Eisenhower. In not many American homes, however, was the turkey carved under the glare of movie flood lights, . or the mashed potatoes ladled out before the lenses of the news cameras. The President and his family bore up cheerfully, however, under the few minutes of public' attention and gaily went about the tradition of Thanksgiv ing. Hospital Says Appears To Be Recovering Paul R. Hawk, a youth shot by a city police officer after a brisk chase Thanksgiving morning, was reported "doing fine" in Klamath Valley Hospital Friday. Hawk, 21, was admitted to emer gency surgery at 10:30 Thanksgiv ing morning for treatment of an abdominal wound torn into h i s body by the officer's .38 caliber bullet. The victim was reported in se rious condition Thanksgiving night, but had rallied and was recover ing Friday morning. He is under a 24 - hour hospital guard being maintained in 12 - hour shifts by sheriff's deputies. Hawk was formally accused on Thanksgiving Day of taking and using a vehicle without the owner's consent and bail was set at $1,500. Christ Church Holds Ceremony Gratitude for God's infinite good ness and power, was the thifme of the special service held at the First Church of Christ, Scientist, on Thanksgiving Day. A period was devoted to volun tary statements of gratitude. "Thanksgiving." was the subject of the lesson sermon read from the desk, especially prepared for the day with selections from, the Bible and from the Christian Science text book. "Science and Health with Key io tne scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. "Preludio." and "Adagio." from Sonata in C Minor by Alexandre Guilmant, was the organ prelude The congregation sang, "We Thank Thee and We Bless Thee, O Father of Us All." Vincent Rousquet. first reader, read the Thanksgiving Proclama tion by the President of the United States. Dwight D. Eisenhower. OPEN Eisenhowers Dull Knife Dinner was served at 6 p. m. on the glass-windowed sunporch of Mamie s cabin, the luxuri ous Eisenhower cottage beside a fairway at the Augusta National Golf Club. Around the oblong table with its centerpiece of yellow and bronze fall flowers and cattails were the President's four grand children, David, 10: Barbara Anne, 9; Susan, 6, and Mary Jean. 2. who managed a ladylike appearance at the table without the indignity of a high-chair. She set in a regular chair atop a cloth-covered box. When the President started to carve the turkey he had difficulty in hacking away one lee from the main turkey carcass, clutching the other drumstick for maximum leverage. His son, Mai. John S, Eisenhower, came- to his rescus while Mrs. Eisenhower and John's wife looked on patiently. Shot Youth The information of felony on that charge was signed by John Kanna, 3850 Clinton Avenue, who reported Wednesday that his 1950 Buick had been stolen. The pursuit of Hawk began early Thanksgiving morning after a city police officer spotted the stolen car near Oleno. State police and city police were notified, took chase, and John Kennard, patrol man, working alone, spotted Hawk speeding down South Sixth Street. Hawk worked himself into dead end street, leaped from the car and ran among open buildings with Kennard in pursuit. After warning Hawk several times, Ken nard said, he firod the single shot that dropped Hawk to the frost covered ground. The victim was sent to the hos pital immediately. The, sheriff's office said Hawk had completed a term last June in the county jail for auto theft.

Man At Loss To Tell Plight NEW YORK (AP) Today wai Thanksgiving Day for Stanley Heiducki. He spent the regular one at thi bottom of an elevator shaft. In fact, he said, he had spent two days there and, worse still, hadn't eaten for eight days. ,. The 38-year-old man could not give a coherent explanation of how he got into the elevator shaft in downtown Manhattan. Two employes arriving for work at a restaurant next door lata Thursday night kept hearing a knocking on the wall but thought it was repairmen at work. Finally at 4 a.m. today one of them, as a joke, yelled "What do you want?" "Get me out," came the reply.
