Statesman, Salem, May 28, '68 (Sec. 0 9 Zone 11 Salem Academy Students I 4 1 Albany 1-5 Fog Will Get Neon m. mm 5igns Going to Holcomb, superintendent cf By RON BLANKENBAKER Staff Writer, The Statesman f'm -ft I jf lIKJi A a 1 I pt'v 'tUtS 41 it i 7-, 1 1 in-" -r- A group of Salem Academy-students will participate this summer in a student-sponsored youth missionary program. Eleven students will spend from three to 10 weeks as "student missionaries" in various parts of the United States and Mexico. They will work in vacation Bible schools and youth camps.

The approximately $2,000 needed for their expeases was raised by students at Salem Academy who turned in a day's wages earned at youth obs in their communities. Student missionary efforts this summer will He Got No Breaks BOSWORTH, England (AP) Sir Wolstan Dixie, latest British aristocrat to try his hand at the tourist game, threw a love-in at Bosworth Park. Only 30 people of a hoped-for 10,000 at $2.50 a head turned up to hear the pop band. The truck with 11 tons of beer got stuck in the mud. Then it rained.

It will be installed with a new face for Oregon Fruit Products Co. on Edge-water Street NW, said a Federal Sign Signal Corp. spokesman.

Donna Den-yer, Julie Dow, Ingrid Grabo-tin, Ellen Hopper, Ellen Huf-faker, Darrell C. Johnson, state police, and Forrest Coop er, State Highway Department engineer, was made in a meeting Monday of Oregon Traffic Safety Commission. Cooper, who read the statement, said the Murder Creek segment of the Freeway "seems to have aggravated and concentrated fogs that form with little or no warning, causing serious traffic disruption." "No Curt-All" "Studies indicate no panacea has been found" in solving the fog problem, Cooper added. Gov. Tom McCall, chairman of the commission, called the installation of the signs "a stopgap in which we'll do what we can now and continue scien tific research into the causes of the problem." Cooper said that before the "fall fog season occurs" three to four large neon warning signs will be erected both north and south of the area on the Freeway and three or four more interim signs in between.

Cost of the signs could range from $25,000 to $50,000 and the signs will be automatically ac tivated. Meteorologist Report The commission also heard a report by Dr. Wendell Hewson, head meteorologist at Oregon State University, who is attempting to establish the cause of the fog. Dr. Hewson's report stated he has conducted some "initial re search into weather records" and "called on some of the industries of the area" and reported to the commission's subcommittee on the matter.

The subcommittee's report said Dr. Hewson's comments are "based on substantial tech nical knowledge and long ex perience" but "still constitute assumptions which are not established. There is nothing in his comments at this time which point the finger at any one, but constitute a statement of what may take place." In the April meeting of the commission it had been reported that the three mile por tion of the Freeway in question Is "300 times more lethal during fog" than the remaining 305 miles of Interstate 5. Death Toll Given Holcomb has reported to the commission that since January, 1966, four persons have been killed, 22 persons Injured and 58 vehicles damaged during fog in the three-mile stretch. By contrast, on the remaining 305 miles since 1962 only three deaths, 69 injuries and 133 damaged vehicles resulted during fog.

The commission also discussed the possibility, but took no action on, putting in link chain screen in the median strip in the area so motorists could drive into the screen rather than another car. The screen, according to California highway authorities, has an ability to absorb the impact of cars at great speed. Bills Proposed In other business before the commission, it decided to back two bills in the coming Legislature, one that would require all drivers under 18 years to A Mew missionary be supervised by World Gospel Crusades and Village Missions organization.
