Suppose we call this space to day a Lost Persons Column. Over the holiday weekend, a lot of per sons got lost. Fortunately, they all got found. At least, those who got into the news today got found That makes it a story with a happy ending. We need more of that kind of stories. There's the boy who got lost ,in the rugged mountain country surrounding Pinedale, Wyoming. He wandered away from his fa ther and his older brother, who were fishing'. When he didn't re turn, a search party was organized. JUore than 50 men, half of them mounted, hunted him for two days. Airplanes joined the search, but caw nothing from the air. They found him this morning. cafe and sound at a ranch which he had reached under his own power. He got a bit hungry, he said, but he ate berries. Let's turn now to the 13 Girl Scouts from Salida, Colorado, who left camp on a hike in the moun tains and failed to arrive that night at a spot where food had been cached. Search parties combed the area for them all day yesterday. They were found by a forest ranger, sitting pretty on the banks of a sparkling creek. They said they were in no dan ger at any time. They didn't know where they were, but they knew what they were about.

Twenty-five visitors, many of them women and children, and 11 otner prisoners who had been vis iting relatives were seized along with the three guards. One woman was released from the barricaded visitors' room dur ing the night when she became ill. The others were held until the uprising ended. All outsiders and the 11 hostage inmates were treat ed fairly well. The four rebels were quickly subdued as the tear gas sent the occupants stumbling, weeping and choking, from the room. The four were ordered placed in isolation. Lawrence Delmore, state super visor of adult correction, praised the reformatory staff for the smoothly executed rescue. "We picked the time; we picked the battlefield," he said. "We knew from 11 p.m. on what we were going to do.

Cam eron, college student charged with killing a former WAC. Loyd Mulkey was subpoenaed to testify on how he questioned the student from nearby Chico State College the December morning after the death of Mrs. Vivian Malone, 50. Defense attorneys say the tape recording shows Cam eron was confused and . was led to incriminate himself. This is the second trial for Cameron, 22. The first jury could not agree. The recording, played. Monday, reproduced Cameron castigating himself with profanity.

Pork Prices Going Down WASHINGTON UP1) - House wives may get some extra mile age out of their grocery allow ances in the coming months es pecially if they . like pork. The Agriculture Department re ported today: "Prices of pork (at retail) already are down, and prices of beef have not advanced further in recent months. Consumers could take heart from the department's monthly report on the livestock and meat situation, but the statistics spelled hard times ahead for meat pro ducers. According to department econo mists, pork will be a "good buy" at the nation's meat counters for at least the next 12 months. If hog production continues upward, they said, prices in . the fall of 1960 "would be seriously depressed." ' What of the searchers? '. Were they forced to a task in volving a terrible waste of time? I doubt it. When lost-person search es have a HAPPY ENDfNG, as! -1 these all did, I think the search ers all enjoy the break in the monotony. A to the loss of time, the MA CHINE has fortunately taken care of that by getting work done fast er and thus providing more LEI SURE time. In conclusion: Should things like going out in country where you might get lost, thus causing great inconvenience to your fellow men, be PROHIB ITED' BY LAW? I hope not. If people generally reach the point where they SHUN ALL DAN GER, when they refuse to tackle seemingly foolish things just to see if they can get away with it, this will be a different world. I'm afraid it will be a less pleasant world to live in. DREDGING UPPER KLAMATH LAKE is' this giant dredga frorrl Tul.ina Farms.
