DUNSMUIR - "Agtivity of the mind is not necessarily limited by' bodily inactivity." stales Frances Lindt, a resident at the Dunsmuir Hotel. To prove it she runs a magazine subscription service from her special bed, and she conducts a weekly Bible study class. Mrs. Lindt admits that the back injury, which has resulted in near ly nine years of physical confine ment, has bruught her moments of rebellion, but that she found there are compensations in her condition because "People are so busy. In these years 1 have de veloped the ability to observe and contemplate." She is confident of eventual re covery, despite limited results from several operations. She has suffered setbacks, but is now sure THE PLANE'S contrail looked convincingly like an infant eruption of Mt.

Religion Plays Odd Role In Life Of Two Felons Sksdchbook i 1 1 1 i v 4 xn - Wm LEE HUDDLE. DUNSMUIR By PEGGY WALSH DUNSMUIR-"A jeweler devel ops a great respect for time," Lee Huddle, Dunsmuir's only jew eler mused philosophically when asked about his profession of watch repairing. A respect for time is very im portant in this railroad community where watches are still an impor tant accessory to many jobs. About 300 railroad watches must pass in spection annually in the Duns muir area of Southern Pacific's system. Huddle says that while watch repair is not an attractive field for many young men thjt it has held certain satislactions tor mm He learned the skill as an appren tice in McMinnville, Oregon, many years ago. After working in several locali ties on the northwest coast, Hud dle operated his own jewelry busi ness 'in Ilwaco. Washington, for 20 years. Then he got a yearning to get out of the fog belt and came fo Dunsmuir to enjoy the sunshine. He's been here for the past sev en years and in that time has chalked up quite a list of civic posts. Huddle is now a past presi dent of the chamber of commerce, a past president of the-Lions Club. He served for six years as treas urer of the Railroad Days board and is currently chairman of the Methodist Church building com rniltee. When asked why he isn't serving on the city council, Huddle states he served his stint in that capa city in Ilwaco where he also held office as chamber of commerce president. Huddle says his home and his community are his hobbies but he likes to boat when he gets chance. He and Mrs. Huddle live in a home they moved from the path of the new freeway. He explains that in the. moving process Ihey inadvertently became landlords be cause the only nearby vacant lots were for sale in a package deal that Included two rental homes. The Huddle's only daughter, Mrs. Joseph Pescatore, and her family live in Yreka. 'It's Like This,' Intruders Said CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex. AP- J. R. Heldenfels discovered a pair of young would-be burglars in his house. He cornered them m the garage. After he called police, one of the youths asked: "Why couldn't we get out the garage door?" "It's a heavy door and takes an electric motor to operate." Hel denfels answered. "How did you get in my yard before you came in the house?" The boys led him outside and said: "Like this," as they vaulted the high fence and escaped. By ROI.LO TAYLOR Spartanburg (S.C.) Journal JEFFERSON. Ga. (AP) A year ago Saturday, James Fulton Foster, 40, sentenced to death a second time for the murder of Charles Drake, calmly strummed his guitar in the Jackson County jail here. Foster's lawyers had managed to find a gun they claimed was the murder weapon and were moving for a new trial. It was not much to go on, but there was hope. At the same time, in the South Carolina Penitentiary, another prisoner summoned police officers to his cell. "I want to talk to everybody connected with that murder over in Jefferson. I'll tell them every thing I know," he said. , When police arrived, Charles Paul (Rocky) Rothschild, former Cairo, 111., policeman and football player from Southern Illinois Uni versity, confessed to the Drake murder. Foster, a house painter, had leaned heavily on religion during the last days of his confinement. Rothschild's confession was strewn with biblical phrases. "I've found my Christ," he said. James Foster was freed. Roth schild, who received a life sen tence after pleading guilty to the murder, returned to South Caro lina to finish a five-year sentence for conspiracy. Today, religion still plays a vital part in the lives of both men But the faith that Rothschild seeks so earnestly will not crys tallize and he admits he is con fused and bewildered. "I find my self cursing my friends and hat ing those who have tried to help me," he said, "and then I pray to God for help. It does not come." James Foster proudly tells how his oldest son Stanley may get a track scholarship to Furman Uni versity. His oldest daughter Eliz abeth was married three weeks ago. Foster now waits for the Geor gia Legislature to meet in Janu ary to consider compensation for his two years in jail. Where Foster finds peace in his family and church, Rothschild is easily irritated. He has lost 20 pounds. , He finished two chapters of a well-written fiction story based on his life, and gave it up. He now admits he cannot concentrate on anything. His other writing efforts were a poem of unusual tenderness about his dead mother and anoth er of unusual bitterness denounc- Rocket Trip Best Answer ing law officers who spoke against his South Carolina pardon appli cation.

Patrolman Vincent Sansone inquired over police ra dio here after finding the cruiser missing from the department ga rage. "I have it." came the an swer. Sansone then reminded the officer-driver it was his day off. The officer brought the cruiser in and went home, DALLAS, Tex. (AP) - Next time Dr. Werhner von Braun comes to Texas, he expects to be riding a rocket. 1 The noted scientist who directs the Army missile program, al-j inost failed to make it here from Birmingham, Ala., in time for a speech to the Texas Bar Assn. Friday night. Von Braun said engine trouble made the plane almost two hours late reaching Carter Field out side neighboring Fort Worth. "It was an old-fashioned, air- breathing, piston-powered vehicle in which some people still have to travel for lack of better trans portation," Von Braun told his audience. "Next time I will travel by bal listic missile. To make it extra safe, it will be an Army missile." that with patience and persistence she will be well again. Until tnen she can read the Bi ble and engage in discussions with fellow members of the Methodist Church, with whom she has read the New Testament and part of the Old Testament in six years of weekly meetings. She has been active In Girl Scout work, but finds her room size prohibits meetings of a large group, although she still helps girls with their badge require ments and with the organizing of new units. ' Mrs. Lindt believes that' her ini tial back injury occurred when I she was sledding as a child In nunsmuir. however, the spinal displacement which confined her is a result of a skiing accident. Her husband, Percy, whom she married while teaching school at McCloud, is also disabled. He lost his arm in a mill accident, and now sells insurance. But for both of them these are not handicaps, for they take a cheerful interest in others' proj ects. Also, they are looking for ward to moving back to their hnnie nn Wood Street, where Mrs. Lindt says that it will be good to "stretch" out a bit in her home again if only with her eyes. I i7 MOVING?
