But that was the exact mo ment at which Daylight Saving Time ended in Oregon. If you didn't change your clocks then, you were BEHIND time until you did change them. And- Here's news for you: If you want to stay right on V,the button as to time, you'll have to make ANOTHER CHANGE on Thursday of this week, at 4 p.m. Pacific Stand ard Time. At that exact moment, you must turn your clocks back 100 MILLISECONDS. A milli second is one-thousandth of a second. So 100 milliseconds will be a tenth of a second. You'll have to be rather care ful about it, for a tenth of a second isn't very much time. If you overshoot the mark, you'll be ahead of time again and goodness knows we've had ruckuscs enough already over this business of fast time. Let's not start another one. Why all this monkey business? Well, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory and the Na tional Bureau of Standards, the earth is SLOWING DOWN. It will have slowed down 100 milli seconds more in the four days intervening between 2 a.m. this Sunday morning and A p.m. on Thursday of this week. That raises Ihis question: How old is the earth? Scientists, using what is known as the uranium - lead method, estimate that the earth is probably somewhat more than TWO BILLION years old. We will probably all agree that at that advanced age it can hardly be blamed for slowing down a little. Most of us mere mortals start slowing down much earlier. One more question: How did this daylight saving business get started? Thank Benjamin Franklin for it or tell him off, depending on how you feel about the whole conlroversial business. When he was U.S. ambassa dor to France, he woke up one morning with the sun well up in the sky and started fretting about the waste of candles. It occurred to him suddenly that if everybody went to bed an hour earlier and got up an hour earlier a lot of candle wax could be saved. He mentioned the idea to the French authorities, but then as now nobody in Paris was even faintly interested in g o i n g to , bed early not to mention get ting up early the next morning. So his idea died in infancy. It as resurrected in 1918 to save daylight hours tor the World War 1 war effort. We've been fighting about it evef since.

The plane w as owned and pi loted by Emory Lee Wine, 1089 Park Street, Ashland. Passen gers included Leo Curtis Wine, 42, Cheri Ann Wine, 12, and Cur tis Paul Wine, 7, all of 1089 Park Street, Ashland, and Gor don Ray Peterson, 35, Shady Grove. The Oregon State Police said live pilot told them he had just taken off at about 5:35 p.m. and had climbed to 50 or 75 feet when his engine began to lose power. Wine said he could not steer the plane, the right wing dipped and he began losing al titude. The pilot was able to bring the plane in for a rough landing in a stubble cut field, about one-half mile south of Airway Drive and slightly more than a mile cast of the air base. The five scrambled out of the 1049 Stinson aircraft. Police said the jplnne hurst into flames less than a minute after it hit the ground and was totally de stroyed with only a small sec tion of the tail remaining. Police said one of the chil dren received a slight bump on the head, but other than that there were no injuries in the near tragedy. Officers said Wine recently had flown the four-place plane to Oregon from South America. He was forced to land at Klam ath Falls early this week be cause of bad weather at Ash land. The three adults and two children had come over to Klam ath Falls Saturday afternoon to lly the craft on to Ashland.

A flicker of hope raised when a super-sensitive microphone picked up knocking sounds was dashed when experts decided the sotuid came from the rattling of rocks. A company spokesman an nounced at noon that hope was abandoned for the 3 and said death notices were sent to their families. But a few minutes later the knocking noises were heard and he refused to post the death notices. Two hours later he pronounced the 39 dead.
