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.

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

about it. You Americans are won

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.

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.
