9feiU 4u3CW, TOamefix TK: Or. Tuesday. OclAdt t, VP Amputee Convinced Being Handicapped "State Of Mind' And Can Be Mastered "I am convinced that being handicapped is a state of mind. You can let it destroy you or you can master it." That is the philosophy that that has carried John Paul Tribe, an amputee, to the responsible post lie has today as a sou sci entist with the Soil Conservation Service in Klamath County. John Tribe walks up and down hills, crosses valleys and swamps, swims and rides down river rapids without a qualm, asking aid from no man. He also learned to fly after his injury that cost him a leg, fractured skull, a badly injured arm, broken ribs and other broken bones. It happened while he was on maneuvers in this country during World War II. He gives the credit for his de termination to make a place in the world and live a normal life to his wife, Mary, whom he says Rites Held At Lakeview LAKEVIEW Bonnie Lee Rob inson, 31, died Oct. 5 at the Lake view Hospital and funeral serv ices were held Oct. 8 from the full Gospel Church in Lakeview. Ttev. Obed Mark officiated. Born May 25, 1932. in Ar kansas, she had lived in Bly and in Lakeview since 1951. On Jan. 20, 1950, she was married at Malvern. Ark., to Tony Robinson, who survives. Also surviving in Lakeview are six children, Jimmie, Paul, Clcn, Loretta, Bonnie, and Elizabeth; her mother, Mrs. Lena McBur- nett; three brothers, J. C. Mc Burnett and Menson McBurnett of Pine Bluff, Ark., and Jack McBurnett of Missouri; three sis ters, Matte Critcs, of Malvern, Verla Golden and Virgie Maybur ry of Kingland, Ark. The body was shipped to the Atkinson Funeral Home in Mal vern for burial in Grant County, Ark. A mine in Louisiana contains enough salt to supply the world's needs for centuries. pulled him from a morass of self, pity and helped set him on the road to a successful career. x At present, with others he is engaged in a soil survey that involves the analysis of 56 soils and 400 variations which deter- mintes characteristics and prop erties and capabilities for pro duction, all vital information for farmers. He swims like a fish and in stead of walking 50 miles as was advised by the Kennedy enthusi asts as a morning tonic, Tribe for the U.S. Bureau of Reclama tion, the first amputee hired by ine usbii in North Dakota. He was the first amputee in West Virginia to get a pilot's license. Mr. and Mrs. Tribe came to Oregon in 1953 to be employed oy tne son conservation service and to enter into community ac tivities. He was one of the first ampulees to be hired by this bureau. The Tribes, John and Marv, have no (ear of river boating, snooting tne rapids or recovery in a whirlpool. They have taken a 187-mile trip down the San Juan River, spending seven days on the water, plan a rougher one when a young son, Kim. now 6 (named for Rudyard Kipling's Mm) is a strong enough swim mer. The family also hopes to at tend the eighth annual Interna tional Soil Science Congress in Bucharest next year. John Tribe offered his story of accomplishment to be used dur ing Employ The Handicapped Week, Oct. 6 through Oct. 12. as proof that a handicapped person can be a usefu' citizen, holding his own in a competitive world. "Laugh and the world laughs with you." says John Tribe and he practices what he preaches. JOHN TRIBE has a goal of 50 swimming miles. has chalked up 21 of them ir the Red Cross swim program. Both Mr. and Mrs. Tribe are Red Cross swim instructors, he offering the knowledge he has gained to other handicapped per sons, bolstering morale and teach ing technique. She is Red Cross water safety chairman in the county. During 1957 the couple was sent by the Klamath Basin Red Cross Chapter to Camp Tule- quoia, Calif., 50 miles east of Fresno to train and teach handi capped to swim during a 10-day period. Comparing record swim times years ago could swim a mile in 37 minutes. He nearly matches it today with a time of 44 minutes Following his injury and after he married he went to West Vir ginia University, graduated from Iowa State with a BA degree in agronomy, and went to work 30-GALLON GLASS-LINED DAY & NIGHT GAS WATER HEATER 10 YEAR GUARANTEE DENNIS THE MENACE iBetter Grades 9 ITT : " W Good, Clean Notebook Essential To Student Thats funny.

Quick of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife of the Fish and Wildlife Service, De partment of the Interior in Port land, has announced that the overall duck supply is more plen tiful this year for the openuig of the waterfowl hunting season in the Pacific Northwest than it was last year. Quick reminded hunters that the waterfowl hunting season opens at 12:30 noon Standard Time or 1 p.m. Pacific Daylight Saving Time on Oct. 8, 1963 in Oregon, and on Oct. 12, 1963 in Washington.

Most of these ducks are pintails and the geese are white-fronts. Water conditions in Warner Valley are better this year than they have been for the past several years and many ducks are there. To date the ar rival of geese in the Summer Lake, Sauvies Island, and Silver Lake areas are under last year. In the Yakima Valley, Wash ington, a good number of ducks, mostly mallards, have been ob served in the Sunnyside district, and numerous wood ducks along the Yakima River. In Spokane County and adjacent areas a fair number of ducks are available. The prospects for hunting in the Columbia Basin, particularly in the Winchester and Frenchman Hills Wastcways and Potholes area are good, but the ducks are scattered. Here the weather has been warm and dry and the birds are dispersed on to grain stubble- fields. Mallards and widgeons are the predominant species, and these numbers are about on a par for this time of the year. A nor mal opening can be expected for duck hunting in the Skagit, Dun geness, Willapa, and Grays Har bor areas. In those latter areas, few migrant geese have been noted to date.

Before we start talking about the best ways to handle text books and tests, there's just one more item we have to cover the materials you need for ef fective study. The notebook is the most im portant piece of equipment you need as a student. This might sound a little elementary, but too many students get into course difficulty because they don't keep the right kind of notebooks, or don't keep them in the right way or don t keep notebooks at all. Get yourself a notebook for each course, preferably the kind with the coiled wire binding they lie flat (or easy reading and writing and the pages are easily removable. Above all, keep the notebook clean. When you take notes in class, take them quickly but take them as neatly as possible unless you plan to roeopy them. There's no more pitiable sight than the student who has taken ultra-complete class notes only to find that when it comes time to study he can't read them. If you re a doodler (and who isn't? I. get into the habit of carrying a doodle book with you. Just get an extra notebook, bring it to class, and if the work that day is such that you don't have to take notes, then doodle in your doodle book. Again, this might sound elementary, but there's nothing more unpleasant than studying from a scribbled-up note book. Whenever you're seized with an uncontrollable urge to doodle, have jour doodle book handy; it'll save a lot of note books. After you buy the doodle book, save up some more and invest in a vocabulary notebook. When ever you run across a new word, write it down. Then once a week you can look up all of the week's new words in the dictionary. And after you look them up, use them. You'll impress all of your friends and teachers if you keep a good vocabulary note book. Remember a few chapters back when we talked about all of the outside reading that you're going to do? Sure you do. You're read ing a nonrequired book and one of the better magazines for at least 15 minutes a day. Right' Well, if you're really enterprising you might also get a notebook for all of the new ideas you're getting from that outside read ing. Finally, if you're In a spending mood, a set of 3x5 flash cards can be a great help for learning foreign language vocabulary. Write down the new word on one side of the card, its English equivalent on the other. We'll talk more about note taking later. For now, just re member that a textbook has a lot of pages. If you can start to keep most of what you have to know in notebooks, you can save a lot of reading at the end of each term. (Next: The first thing to do with a textbook.)

The leader of an abortive expe dition into the wild Barranca de Cobrc country said Monday bould ers "as large as houses" in a treacherous 120 mile river (Rio Urriquel forced his party of American adventurers to turn back. Dr. John L. Cross, 45, of Orcm, Utah, who organized the expedi tion to gain scientific information said his part of fifteen Americans made it only 10 miles up the riv er before food ran low. "I am definitely contemplating another try at the Rio Urrique, he said. "However, if I make another try it will be up another section of the river. Cross and 13 other persons in his party, including two women traveled by train during tile night from Creel, Mexico, and arrived at Chihuahua early Monday. lames C. Dean of Salt Lake City had staggered to civilization Sat urday and said the expedition might be lost and without food, Rationed Food Cross said his party never ran out of food, but had to do some rationing. The explorers including three Mexicans arrived safely Monday at the northwestern Mexican vil lage of Creel, 160 miles west of Chihuahua. Creel is a railhead on the New Chihuahua al Pacifico Railroad. They left for Chihua hua at 7 p.m. EDT Monday night. Cross said he was mystified that large boulders were in the river. I "I look an aerial survey in J August and do not understand i not spotted," he said He said that while they were in the Barranca de Cobre (Cop per Canvonl they saw only one search plane, but could not at tract its attention with a large fire. Dean Greeted Train Dean, accompanied by his nurse, got out of a hospital bed to greet the party at the train. The men in the party were un shaven, but in good spirits. They said they were tired and wanted to go to bed. Cross said he would hold press conference later Monday and asked reporters to please let him get some sleep. Cross personally thanked two helicopter pilots from the U. S. Air Force Rescue Service who attempted to find the party. Cross said the only thing he re gretted about the trip was that 'we did not have enough time to complete it. We were running late and most of the party had to return to the states for busi ness commitments. We are grate ful for the concern of the people in the U. S." The group entered the canyon of strange winds, rapid water and gnarled crevices where the sun has never reached on Sept. 25. An aerial search was launched immediately when Dean report ed the party was having trouble. KODACOLOR FILM and Black and WhHa Film .
