Civil Defense In Klamath Defended
Some Oregon Civil Defence
agencies hay have been asleep at
the switch during te Columbus
Day storm, but that was not the
case in Klamath County, local Civ
il Defense Director Joe Searlcs
told the Herald and News Wed
nesday. Searles' comments came as in
dividuals and various organiza
tions tnroughout the state were
rallying to support the state Civil
Defense Association', which has
been the object of statewide abuse
for its "inefficiency" during the
tall hurricane.
The civil defense officer said
there was no single major disas
ter to adequately test the effi
ciency of the county CD system.
"But had there been one, we
were ready for it," Searles said
The storm swept through parts
of California, Oregon, and Wash
ington at winds registered more
than 75 m.p.h., causing millions
of dollars in damage as it dis
rupted power service, destroyed
property, snarled traffic and ere
ated general havoc throughout the
three states.
Throughout the Inferno, t h e
Klamath County Civil Defense Of
fice was in constant radio con
tact with the Suburban Kire De
partment, the State Civil Defense
Acencv at Salem, the Sheriff's
Office. County Koad Department,
and Kingsley Air Field.
In addition, it was also in touch
with various cities throughout
the slate by means of the N
tional Warning System, Searles
said.
In the event of an emergency,
the county's 26-man motorized res
cue squad and its equipment
were on standby duty and were
available to go wherever they
were needed in the county.
One of the first local disasters
partly attributed to the storm was
the razing ot the Ellingson uim
ber Company planing mill, leveled
by a generally 50-foot high sheet
of fire that was pushed along by

The girls took the Hebard name.
The same neighbor recalled
that he never heard of quarrels

John, at 15, was one year
younger than, Harry. John kept
the Rudell name.
It was known that Harry felt
"left out" of the family circle
and had bad feeling toward the
others. A minister said he was
aware of trouble. A friend said
Harry had talked of running

gusty winds. Damage was esti
mated in excess ot sioo.ooo.
Searles said he fought the blaze
with 75 to 100 other men and
reported continually by radio to
the CD Office in Salem about the
fire and other damage caused as
the result of the storm.
After a power failure developed
during the peak velocity of the
winds the county CD Office sought
and obtained tliree auxiliary gen
erators for use in the migrant
workers housing project in Ma-
lin. The power was restored as
the generators were being deliv
ered. Searles said.
The local oflicc also performed
services lor individuals as re
quested. One such service was for
a Klamath Falls man who sought
information about his relatives
who were in Gold Beach when the
storm struck. (Power lines were
also down in that Western Ore
gon city and news was not getting
in or out of that area. Searles
said he relayed the request to a
local radio ham operator, who
contacted a ham operator in Gold
Beach. Within 10 minutes word
came from the stricken city that
the local man's relatives were
safe. Searles said.
Although the storm may have
caught some civil delense organi
zations woefully lacking through
out some parts of the state, it
has served lo point out those areas
in which CD should be preparca
in the event oi anouier uisaswr,
Searles concluded.
