Former Pelican Butte Fire Lookouts Return To Tower By HL'TII KING , The road to the Pelican Butte Jire lookout tower on the West kide of Upper Klamath Lake is still rocky and steep and the view of the lake country and the Cas cade Mountains is as awesome as it was 12 years ai,o to the cou ple who honeymooned there. Last week, Rev. K. Daniel Mon tague, his wife Zoe, ( pronounced Zo-eei and their three lively small fry returned to the honey moon cotlase atop the high buttc, 8,000 feet above sea level, where tlx Montagues spent the first summer of their married life.

This year they were accom panied by son. Dan, 11, and daughters, Melanie, 9, and small Martha, near to being 7. The young couple had met while gliding the University of Chi ta f, and after the wedding de cided on coming to Klamath Kails. They needed work. A let ter came West to District Ranger Bob Cooper, then with the Rogue River National Forest. There was only one spot for summer employ ment to be filled and that was Pelican Butte. The newlyweds ac cepted. They bought a Model A Ford for $100 in Klamath Falls and headed up the mountain road. A mile and a half down the trail theyj encountered snow, a drift too high to plow through, so Dan de cided to top it with the "jitney." They had reputation, remember, of going anywhere at any time Sonic Booms Will Result From Kingsey Intercepts In preparing for a defense cx-i ercise of the Pacific Northwest area, Kingsley Field has an nounced that its aircraft will cause a number of sonic booms in the Medford. Ashland, Grants Pass areas in the next two weeks. The F-101 fighters, speeding to ward the ocean to make simulated bomber Intercepts, will exceed the speed of sound between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. The planes are assigned the responsibility of protecting the area from attack ing enemy bombers, and will be utilizing the Semi-Automat-ic Ground Environment System (SAGE' to perform the missions. Sonic booms, a sometime effect of the supersonic jet. are made as the jet flics faster than the speed of sound 760 miles per hour. The booms slay with Ihc aircraft dur ing its entire flight, following along behind very much like a shadow. Tlie sonic boom problem now is unique to the military. But within a decade, a multitude of citizens will be passengers aboard civilian airliners which will fly coast-to-coasl laster than sound. Tlie problem then will be immeas urably more intense than il is now. Runaway Girl In Custody A lo-ycar-old girl who ran away from her home in Oxnard. Calif., to be with her father in Klamath Falls is in the Klamath County Juvenile Home, Klamath County Juvenile Officer Francis Mathews has reported.

The girl was to he returned toj Oxnard but a message Mathews received later from the girls par ents indicated that she should be turned over to her father. Police began seeking the girl's father on certainly enough for us to con Thursday but as nf late Friday, tinue our own high-speed clforts he had not been found.

But theorist is spending the -summer of snow bank foiled them. Dan tried to build a road over the drift but the car was stranded, straddling the crust, until summer heat melted the snow. They hiked the rest of the way to their destina tion. During the rest u' the summer, they haunted junk yards, they re call, looking for cheap, used 21 inch tires to replace the ones that were cut to ribbons on the rocky road up the mountain. Thev made the best of the flies that hid in crevices of the old'af.0 after completing service wooden tower, tlie times they had to crawl under the covers to keep warm when the icicles hung from the catwalk, and the smoky lan- 'tei n ",a' sttac;' wnen "le B'nt' blew. They overlooked the wind that blew the wash away the one time the bride hung out the sheets and pillowcases, they saw cougar tracks, a bob cat and deer and missed the bear that slid down the mountain. Zoe stood fire watch while her husband was on the fire line, and they laugh now about the twisted jack they used that failed to do its duty . . . about the late night drive, the one time they were re leased to see a show in town when the car's wiring caught on fire. To save the car from going up in smoke, Dan pulled loose the wires which in turn shut off the lights. The rest of the way up the mountain was driven by flash light shined through the w i n d srlield. They spotted 22 fires that sum mer and had a snow storm ba- o, e mey .e.i Hie liny wood stove mat oaKeu., the sour dough bread and w armed them front and back if they stood close by the fire box, is still hid- den away in a niche at tne tow er where fire lookout Gail Sea- One familiar form of the sonic boom is thunder. It is created by a bolt of lightning streaking from cne area to another again faster, than the speed of sound. The sound is scientifically ex plained this way: When an object travels faster than sound, a shock wave is generated, similar to the wake of a molorbuat The waves are strongest at their point of origin in this case, the plane's nose. After leaving the craft, the wave travels like a cone in all directions and becomes weaker as the distance increases. The sound slaps against the ground ' as a wave does the shore, but is greatly reduced in intensity because of the dis tance it has traveled. The primary disadvantage to the sonic boom then, is the startling characteristic when we humane intAriMVt it .1c a Innfl "bang." The wave can do slight damage, too, to dwellings winch i have existing plaster cracks, and has been known to break a num ber of windows. It cannot, however, start cracks in plaster, etc., as the pressure required to do that is consider ably more than the sonic boom has. For damage, the military serv ices have instituted a claims sys tem, and Ihe government will pay for damage proved to have been caused by a sonic boom. If a home is damaged, the resident may telephone or wrile lo the Base Claims Officer, 4(13th Fight er Group. Kingsley Field, Ore., for adjustment. In spite of its disadvantages, which are outweighed by speed of utmost importance to fighter planes, the sonic boom must be lived with. At the present time scientists have no answer as to how we'll conauer it. even though they've researched the phenome - non for almost 10 vears. At this very moment, there arc sonic booms over Russia. Thc very know ledge that thc potential agressors of the United Slates have high performance aircraft is to curtail their thoughts about sending a mass bomber invasion to destrov this nation.

It wasn't all sweetness and light in that honemton lrakout, the Montagues recalled when they came down last week from the tower. They remembered the day that Zoe shot a boot of her husband s square at him when he meddled in her housewifely chores. It all started when he told her how to wrap the garbage. Later in a sermon, he preached on "How to get along." Keverend .Montague was ordained a year the Navy, stationed in Japan, and earlier preparation or a career in international economics.

TU 4-3141 Special Units Participate In Military Plan 'Scrounging" has been a tradi tional military operation ever since warfare has consisted of flinging spears and arrows at one s enemies. Translated to more polite lan guage, scrounging means the acquisition by begging, borrow ing, or discretely obtaining, of needed military equipment. Those military units that "don't have" scrounge from those that "do have." Such was tlie operation carried out this past week by members of the 8639th Air Force Reserve Recovery Group of Vancouver Barracks, Wash., and three Re covery Squadrons under it the 9608th of Redmond, Ore., the 9tMh)th of Salem, and the 9610th of Eugene These units arc assigned the job of operating emergency mil itary airfields at civilian locations in times of war or national emer gency. To do tne jon. tney neea literally tons of communications equipment radio sending and re ceiving sets, teletypes, and the like. But in setting up the recovery program two years ago, the budget-minded Air Force told the re covery units, in effect, "find your own equipment." For two years the recovery group and squadrons have been doing just that for the most part "scrounging" sur plus equipment from other A i r Force unils. But last week they carried out the biggest "scrounging" opera tion so far. Using a C-47 from Kingsley Field In Klamath Falls, where the group and three squad rons were on two weeks' active duty, personnel from the com munications sections of the four outfits flew lo McClellan Air Force Base in Sacramento. There they obtained some 6.000 pounds of needed communications eauiDment four large radio trans mitters, power supply units lor ra-i dio and teletypes, receivers and miscellaneous snare parts. All had been declared surplus by McClel lan AFB. Part of the equipment n... in Kinxslnv the ........ balance sent by truck. Once back at their home sta tions the group and squadrons will revamo the equipment ana nut it in working order. It will be used with other equipment al ready obtained to establish a functioning communications net work between thc four units and other recovery units across the counlrv. The four units were to finish un their two weeks of active duly training Sunday, July zb, ana le turn home. Some 150 reservists participated in the two-week lour.
