HEAD OVER HEELS Fast action and bone-jarring spills are a part of the sport of rodeo as cowboys match strength and skill with rough broncs and bulls in the riding events, at the Lake County Roundup and Fair in Lakeview on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1-2. A record number of top cowboys have signed up for the rodeo and will face stiff competition with stock from the Dick Hemsted ranches of Anderson, Calif. In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS This space today will be devoted to the story of Vein Owens, Don Kirkpatrick and the Little Old Lady. 1 think maybe you'll like it. The Little Old Lady lives in New Zealand and, like many of us, she has an itching foot. And she had long wanted tn see the U.S.A. So A little while back, she took off. She came by ship to San Fran Cisco. Krom San Francisco, she came by stage to Klamath Falls The stage paused herd for a brief rest period, so she took off for a walk on Main Street In the window of Vern's store she saw an electric appliance thai was just whal she wanted. It was a fry pan with a coil in the bottom and another coil in the lid. She went in and Vein dem onstrated it. Annual Roundup Set At Lakeview LAKEVIEW The welcome matl is out, and Lakeview, the tallest! town in Oregon, is prepared to extend to its visitors wishes for a tall time at the 44th annual Lake County Roundup and Fair during the Labor Day weekend, Aug. 31 and Sept. 1-2. Bucking horses, calves, steers, and Brahma bulls are furnished by the Dick Hemsted rancher of Anderson, Calif., to trv the riders for approximately $2,500 in purses. A special attraction is $500 in cash offered by Hemsted to the rider who compiles the highest number of points in saddle bronc and bareback riding in three ro deos, Susanville, Cedarville, and Lakeview. As Lakeview is the fi nal one of the three, the award will be made at the close of the local show But- She was starting on a long trip. And the fry pan would be bunglesome In carry. So, reluc tantly she passed it up. From here she went byl stage clear around the perime tor of the U.S. Up the coast to Vancouver, I B.C. From Vancouver she wound back and forth along the Cana dian-U.S. border, clear back to Quebec and New England. Thence down the Atlantic coast to Flori da, then along the Gulf to New Orleans. From there across Texas, New Mexico and Arizona and eventu ally back to San Francisco whence, when the time came, she would take off for her New Zealand home.

And it. couldn't he had in S.F. So she TOOK OFF AGAIN KLAMATH FALLS. And, as soon as she arrived, she headed for Vein's store Meanwhile, however, Vein had sold out of the fry pan gadgets But Don Kirkpatrick had one in stock, and Vern knew it So. as a good merchant should. he sent the Little Old Lady down tn his competitor and Don closed the sale. The Little Old Lady then hastened back to Vein's store tn thank him for his courtesy and Jo tell him hnw proud she was going to he when she got back to New Zealand and showed her friends and neighbor! what she had found in her travels. At this iKiint, it occurred tn Vern that in New Zealand their electric current is different from ours As many an American has discovered to his sorrow when he first tried to shave with the for eigners' electricity. So he ex plained the situation tc her. It didn't fcaze the Little Old Lady. "Oh." she said, "my elec trician can fix that in a jiffy But it s nice of vou to tell me about it. You Americans are won deiful." This thnu'jht in coniiusion: Here in Southern. Oregon, we are eager tn stop more tourists. Something like a million tourist cars go through our area every season.

Soviet-Sino Break Seen Hurricane Remains Far At Sea MOSCOW (CPU - Diplomatic observers said Saturday the bitter ness nf Russia's latest denuncia tion of Red China suggests that a complete break in relations be tween the two countries is a dis tinct possibility. They noted the attack printed Friday by the government organ Izveslia accused Peking of "vio lating standards of international behavior" the sort of charge that olten precedes a diplomatic break. MIAMI i UPI '-Hurricane Beu- lah -built its winds to "severe" 120 rruJc-an-hour intensity Satur day, but staved far at sea where scientists planned again lo "seed" it with power-sapping silver io dide. The latest advisory on the sea son s second and most powerful tropical storm located Beulah near latitude 24 8 north, longitude 59 8 west, or about M miles northeast of San Juan, P. R and the same distance south southeast of Bermuda. The storm dawdled in a "very weak steering current" and moved at about 7 miles an hour on a northerly course. Weather men gave the Caribbean Islands and the U.S. mainland an all clear, but warned small craft around the British resort island of Bermuda In stay close to home. Forecaster Arnold Sugg said it was still loo early to tell whether Beulah mfght threaten the island. He said its course in the next few days would be determined by the prevailing easterly and erly winds. Scientists seeded the storm with silver iwlide crvstals Fndav and planned another try Saturday But tliey emphasized their exper lments were on too small a scale to make any appreciable change in the hurricane Graduate Librarian Appointed The Klamath County Library Board Saturday announced the appointment of Mrs. Edna R. Karczag. registered librarian, to handle the affairs of the Klam ath County Library eltective Tues- dav, Sept. 3. Ted DeMerritt, Malin, chairman of the board, was not available for comment on the move. How ever, il was indicated by other members of the board that the move w as necessary in order to proceed w ith future plans to even tually merge the city and coun ty libraries inlo a single unit. One member commented, "The position of head librarian of the combined city and county libraries would require a graduate librar ian. To be able to successfully put these two libraries together will require a person who has a de gree in librarian work." Mrs. Karczag was considered the top applicant from a large group of applications for the post. She has had 14 years experience in library work. Mrs. Karczag comes here from the Kauai Public Library. Lihue- kauii, Hawaii, where she has been librarian for the past six years. She has a BA degree from Mary- ville College, Maryville. Tenn., and an ABLS, bachelor degree in library science, from the Univer sity of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Prior to her service in Hawaii, Mrs. Karczag was assistant li brarian at the Traverse City Li brary in Traverse City, Mich., for a three-year period. She also has been with the Wayne County Pub lie Library in Detroit, the Royal Oak Publ'c Lihrarv in Roval Oak Miclri and the Mary Grove Col lege Li'.y,iry in Duroit. Mrs. Karczag is married to Dr Leo Karczag, an accomplished musician w ho is also a piano and voice teacher. I n e isarczags have two children, Paul, 16. and Shari. II. In 19ti2, Hie city and county li brary boards hired Coit Coolidge. city librarian at Richmond, Calif to conduct a survey of the library situation here and recommend lu- ture action. His summary recom mended merger of the two units The board indicated in Novem ber, 1!2, that such a merger would require the hiring of an outside accredited librarian. Betty Cote has been acting li brarian for the past several years at the county library, and Mrs Addie Mae Nixon is head librarian at the city library. Implementation of the merger plan for both libraries will take some time liecau.se of legal prob lems involved.

Weary rescue crews worked to correct the difficulties and set Monday as a target data for ringing the entombed men to the surface. Drilling operations Iso continued for a third miner trapped in a separate cubicle 18 feet away who has not been heard from since Tuesday State Mines Chief H. Beccher Charmbury said jagged rock and soft clay had hampered rescue teams trying to case a 26-inch polling drilled to a depth of 38 feet earlier Saturday. Workers hoped lo line the hole with metal tubing, then drill a 171j-inch hole to the trapiied men. Despite their ordeal, miners David Fellin and Henry Throne were in almost jaunty spirits. The fate of the third miner, Louis Bova, 42, remained unknown. Bova was last heard from on Tuesday, when he tapped three times on his chamber wall, sig naling that he was alive. A scpa- ate. three-inch hole was being drilled to where he is trapped. Charmbury said the scriousi setback" concerned the upper part of Ihe 38-foot hole. "We an't go ahead and ream at 17'i inches until we put casing in the upper part of the hole," he said. 'It would be too dangerous. It might cave in and we would lose everything we have." The mines official said technicians and constructed of rolled steel. Charmbury would not make a prediction on w hen he thought the miners could be removed, but once the final phase is begun it would take at least 30 hours to lift them to the top. The drilling was being carried out with such precision that one worker suggested you could shave" with the rig. Pennsylvania Gov. William Scranton flew to the scene with his wife Friday to cheer Fellin and Throne in their ordeal. "You are great guys," the governor said through the special micro phone. "We liope you get out soon. You're doing a tremendous job down there." Rep. Daniel Flood, D-Pa., said Saturday that once they are res cued, Fellin and Throne would be taken to a hospital in nearby Ilazlcton by helicopter.

They called for unlimited no tations to settle secondary issues in the lour-ycar-oiu ules dispute instead of arbitra tion if no agreement is reacneu on the so-called minor matters by a fixed deadline.

Railroad sources said that elim ination of the provision requiring eventual arbitration of the non- major issues would "gut" the bill and frustrate the arbiters' ruling on two key items. I'he split raised doubts about whether Congress could approve Ihe bill in lime to avoid a na tional shutdown of the railroads. Management has refused lo budge from its plan to place their new work rules into effect at 12:01 a.m. 'local time' Thursday. The unions have ordered a walkout have been issued for a strike once the work rules are put into elfect. The strike authorization in cludes appointment of union cap tains to direct orderly walkouts at major railroad terminals.

It the two sides failed to settle oth er issues by negotiation within 30 days, those issues also would go io the arbitration board for set tlement within tiO additional days. It was the second proviso which drew objections Irom sev en of the committer's 12 Demo cratic members.
