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

n drivers lugged especially
hard at the whiskers of the young
ermen. 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.

Reminder:
Hike Noted
In TB Cases
With the approach of the Christ
mas Seal season, the Klamath
County Tuberculosis and Health
Association reminds local resi
dents that the tuberculosis rate in
this county in 1958 was greater
than ever before. 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.

NEIL W. 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.

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.

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.

it was repairmen at work.
Finally at 4 a.m. today one of

"Get me out," came the reply.
