while Mrs. Thomas was taken to
the Oakridge Clinic and then
transferred to the Sacred Heart
Hospital in Eugene, where she
was treated for a head lacer
ation and a broken toe.
Mrs. Carol Foster, dean of
women at the college, told the
Herald and News Friday that
Mrs. Thomas was to be released
from the hospital that evening or
Saturday and would go with her
parents to St. Helens, where she
would remain about a week be
fore returning to classes.
Mrs. Foster also said she had
talked with Mrs. Thomas' doctor
Friday and learned that the pa
tient was in "excellent condition."
A 23 - year - old Opportunity,
Wash., man was credited with
saving Mrs. Thomas' life follow
ing the spectacular accident.
He was Larry Olson, who was
sitting in the cab of a truck
which had picked him up in
Eugene. The driver, whose name
Olson didn't learn, was putting
chains on the truck before pro
ceeding over Willamette Pass
when this scene unfolded before
him: Olson observed a west
bound automobile driven by Mrs.
Thomas swerve to avoid colliding
with another car that was sliding
sideways along the highway in
front of the Thomas auto.
"She couldn't have been going
more than seven to 10 miles an
hour when she went over the
bank," Olson said.
"The car turned sideways and
rolled about eight times before it
hit bottom," he continued.
'I saw the baby fly out about
half-way down the hill and lake
couple of somersaults, belore
landing on some rocks."
As the car reached the bottom
of the slope, Mrs. Thomas was
thrown from the vehicle into a
small creek, with the car finally
coming to rest between the banks
about two cot above her.
Olson scrambled down the em
bankment to aid the Injured wom
an, while the truck driver picked
up the baby and passed the child
to a motorist, who took It to me
Onkdridge Clinic.
Olson found Mrs. Thomas ly
ing in the creek with her head un
der water she wasn't breathing
when I first pulled her out. But
she started breathing again al
most immediately," Olson said.
A physician at the Oakridge
Clinic said Olson's quick action
saved the woman's lile. Later
Wednesday, Olson caught a bus
to Reno, where he is employed
as a waiter at a hotel.

will do it for you."

a stand if the reelings are strong
enough and, most important of
