Oregon Continues To Feel Effects Of Deadly Storm One Year Ago PORTLAND (UPIi-On Oct. 12, 1962, a Navy radar picket ship positioned some 300 miles off Northern California flashed a terse weather report to meteoro logical stations along the West Coast. The coded message was the first inkling that the region and particularly Oregon was to bear the brunt of the most destructive windstorm in the area's history. The insane wind, known simply as the Columbus Day storm or the Big Blow, killed 24 persons in Oregon and inflicted damage es timated at $170 million. The destructive aftermath ofi the wind, which peaked at 116 miles per hour here and higher elsewhere, will remain for years to come. In the forests of Western Ore gon and Washington, state and federal agencies continue to race against time to salvage an esti mated 17 billion board feet of blown down timber before infes tations of bark beetle reach epi demic proportions. In Portland, families of two persons killed as a direct result of the disaster still mourn their Air Base Loses 'Taxi Trucks' WASHINGTON (UPI) - For a bunch of wild blue yonder types, the fellows at Tachikawa Air Force Base in Japan did seem to require an unseemly number of trucks. According to a report made public Tuesday by the General Accounting Office GAO, some of the boys were using Vi and i ton trucks for taxis, in the ad vancement of their personal and cultural status. loss, as do two households in the uny niuameue vaney commun ity of Rickreall and others Iclsewhere. The Red Cross said some 84 homes were destroyed. 5,262 dam aged severely and 46,672 damaged slightly in Oregon. .Many areas had no power or telephone serv ice for days. In the fertile Willamette Valley a natural funnel for the storm as it rushed northward 32,000 acres of orchard land laid to waste will not begin to recover its full potential until the saplings and grafts of fruit and nut trees begin producing some 10 years or more from now. The wind that toppled trees also echoed through the halls of an angry legislature. The state's civil defense agency was slashed from 18 persons to 3. Portland did away with civil defense entirely. The toll of irreplaceable land marks also was high. At Mon mouth, historic Campbell Hall on the Oregon College of Education campus lost its tower. 11 has yet to be replaced. East of Salem, a barn used as a rendezvous by pro-slavery legislators in 18M) dis integrated. The Clatsop Douglas Kir, which wrested the title of the world's largest from a claimant on Wash lington's Olympic Peninsula, rode out the storm with its weight of 1.000 years only to fall victim to a lesser blow a few weeks later. Foresters said the big wind weakened the giant. Another tree the 136-year-old apple planted at Fort Vancouver by the Hudson's Bay Company lost its top, but still survives. Not so the enormous dogwood which had bloomed for more than century outside a Milwaukie home. In Salem's Willson Park, Cham- poeg, and other historic spots the story was the same destruction of the historic and natural beauty of the Northwest. Could it happen again? E.xpcrts are cautious. The factors which triggered last year's violonce moist warm air colliding with cold currents from the north, then churning out of a low-pressure spin-off from exhausted Typhoon Frieda are olten present off the West Coast. But whether the com. bination of factors will ever re cur is pure conjecture. But little children suit are frightened whenever the wind kicks up. And anxious residents flood police, weather bureau and newspaper offices with calls j Is it going to be another Big Blow?" Needed: Automatic Machine To Change Typewriter Ribbons By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor NEW YORK (UPD-What the world needs in this age of auto mation is a machine that'll change a typewriter ribbon. Man's created machines to do about everything else for us the automatic washer, the automatic dryer, (lie automatic turn-off of the oven when the roast is done. Machines have turned us into a batch of anonymous digits "com puterizing" us for benefit of the company , billing us for the gas and electric lor the oanK ac count, the credit car, the office payroll, the subscription to the magazine or enrollment in a book club. The anonymity grows in the numbers game with the Post Of fice department zone numbers and ZIP codes, with the tele phone company, the vital statis tics bureau and the Social Secur ity system of the government. One Human Battle But the human element returns when it's time to change that typewriter ribbon. Here, it's a case of man or woman in direct battle with machine and too often the machine is the winner. Or, if you finally are the vic tor, the battle scars are there, hard to scrub off. The ink-blackened fingers. The damage done to the manicure and the temper! All by two simple spools joined by a narrow strip of inked ribbon. The tale of one woman's ex asperating encounter with a rib bon change appears in the cur rent issue of Today's Secretary a publication for the white collar girls. Dorothy Crispo starts out calm ly enough on her play-by-play ac count. Calmness is a must. "Open box. Take out new rib bon. Place on desk," she says. "Sit down and face typewriter.
