Bern ice O. Redington dies in Seattle at ,4 slaying last July (Asked of parents by Edie Buckwalter) Lillie Mundon, Kaneohe, housewife: "I With Fred Hemmings, Jr. Peruvians dominate world contest Peruvians dominated the entire week of surfing and paddling events in the World Surfing Championship at Lima, Peru. In every event, except the hotdogging contest, they took top honors think it's a pretty good idea. A lot of times during the summer the kids don't have anything to occupy themselves with.

But it depends on what the curriculum would be for that extra three months. It shouldn't just be more of the same thing, but something different excursions, art classes, dramatics. And you would have to break them in gradually this year go till July, next year till August Cecile Medeiros, Foster Village, house Bernice O. Redington, 74, former home economics editor of the Star-Bulletin and later women's editor of the Hawaii Farm and Home magazine, died of cancer March 9 in Seattle, Washington. Miss Redington went to work for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in 1923 and was the first food editor of the Post-Intelligencer and first to use the byline Prudence At her request there was no funeral or memorial services.

Miss Redington was born and raised in Puyallup, where her father, John Redington, was a pioneer newspaper publisher. She was a graduate of the University of Washington and also attended the University of California, where she studied art. She went to work for The Post-Intelligencer after working as a dietitian at the State School for the Blind in wife: "I feel the children will be needing 12 months because there is so much to learn these days. But how would they go to 'summer school' if they failed? Without vacations, how would they catch And how can teachers go back to-school to continue their education? Don't children need a vacation to let off Don't teachers need a break, too? Might not summer be toa hot for regular the Hawaiian surfers close behind. -Midget Farrelly of Australia copped the hot-dogging event.

The surf was two to three feet and Midget's board control on every wave was exceptional. Paul Strauch of Hawaii followed closely. 1 In the paddling event, Flaco Barreda of Peru was the man to beat. Flaco won the three-mile Herradura-Waikiki race by running the last 50 on the rocky beach. He won over sec- ond-place Felipe Pomar by just five seconds.

South Africa's Tony Van Hurvel was third. school?" Volleyball player dies Ralph C. Brauwn, Pearl Harbor, Navy: "Leave it like it is. But if it has to be changed, I would prefer the staggered vacation plan to no vacation at all. They have to have a vacation something to look forward to.

That's the only thing I looked forward to when I was in school." Pat Adams, Kailua, housewife: "I think nine months is enough, really. The kids are ready for a vacation by June, and the parents are ready, well, it's not quite a vacation, but they're ready for something different Nobody can spend the whole year doing the same thing. And the vacation should be in the summer for all the youngsters, not staggered throughout the year. I have three children and I can't think of anything more horrible than each one being off at a different time." The Oahu Grand Jury yesterday indicted two felons for the first-degree murder of a bank cashier last July 25. Indicted for the murder of Jack Ei Wadsworth, 46-year-old head cashier of Hawaii National Bank, were Joseph C.

Vincent, 33, who has been in Honolulu Jail since January 10 serving a six-month term for stealing Federal property. Alfred C. Medeiros, 29, who was returned to Hawaii State Prison December 3 to serve a two-year term for parole violations. Wadsworth's nude and! beaten body was found float- ing in the waters off Rain--bow Island in Honolulu Harbor by fishermen July 25. He was last seen the night before at a party in Kailua.

He is believed to have hitchhiked over the Pali and been picked up by some men in a car. Details of the murder were not released yesterday by Deputy Prosecutor Edwin -Y. Sasaki. Sasaki said he was instructed to release only the i names of the accused men, their ages and Police believe robbery was the motive in the slaying. A ring was taken from Wads-worth's hand before his body was dumped into the harbor.

Medeiros was born January 5, 1938, in Mountain; View, Hawaii. He began compiling an adult criminal record of burglaries, car thefts and escapes in 1957 when he was 18 years old. He was convicted in 1957 in Hilo of his first felony, first-degree burglary, and was waiting to be transported to Oahu Prison when he escaped from detention. i While on the loose, he stole a car. He was recaptured, convicted of escape and car theft, and given sentences of three and five years, tively.

Both were to be served concurrently, however, with the 20 years he got for burglary. He was admitted to Oahu Prison' April 18, 1957, but escaped May 6, 1958. Again he stole a car and also committed a burglary, for; which he eventually got five years and 20 years, This time, however, the judge ordered that the three years he got for escaping be served consecutively to the other sentences. Medeiros was paroled April 21, 1964. Less than two years later November 8, 1965 he was convicted in Honolulu District Court for the unprovoked attack upon a sailor.

He got six months in jail, but the magistrate suspended all but one month of the confinement Thomas Kromer, Schools, teacher (parent-to-be): At our school the students won be months, but for nine months three quarters out four. All the children in one family will have the same vacation period. With school open all year-round, students on vacation who are highly interested in something can go there for help. We'll be able to enroll one fourth more students. going for 12 the State be- In the exciting race, contestants paddled through the surf, turned on a buoy and caught a wave back in.

Once again, Flaco Barreda won by a nose. Felipe Pomar and Flaco rode the same wave to the beach but in the scurry up the rocks to the finish line, his long legs made the difference. Bobby Cloutier of Hawaii placed third. The tandem race is a race from the outside 'surf to the beach. Catching the first wave, Pomar and partner, Polio Pardo, placed first.

Mark (Butch) Hemmings, of the Outrigger Canoe Club, Lia Mezano were second with Hector Velarde, and Maria Elena Rey third. Peru versus Hawaii finals vr The finals of the big event at Punta Rocus (Rocky Point) were held in six to eight-foot surf with five Peru- vians and three Hawaiians competing. Failing to qualify were representatives from Florida, South Africa and Australia. Californians Skip Frye and Hawaiian-born I Donald Takeyama mysteriously disappeared back to California in the middle of the Ytf ek causing much concern to their Peruvian hosts. The waves were inconsistent and the contestants were I given two hours in the water.

In the allotted time, three Peruvians, one Californian and one Hawaiian judged ev-' ery wave ridden. The top five waves for each contestant were totalled for the final scores. Results were: Pomar retained the championship, Gor- do Barreda second, (Gordo- is the brother of paddling I star Flaco), this writer third, Paul Strauch fourth, Hec-; tor Velarde fifth, Navarro sixth, Mark Hemmings seventh and Miguel Plaza eighth. The Peruvians once again proved to be cordial hosts as well as great competition in the surfing world. Surf chatter Tony Van Hurvel, ace South African surfer, is tearing up Hawaii's North Shore.

Tony returned from Peru with Cloutier to try Hawaii's big surf and is riding consistent-" ly well at every break on Oahu's famed North Shore Dr. Don James, famous for his fine photogra- phy of surfers in action, will soon have his two latest mu- rals ready for distribution big wave shots of Waimea Bay taken in late January After the big internation-; al surfing contest in California this October, many Peru- vians are planning a month of Hawaiian surfing. 1 Hector Velarde, Miguel Plaza, Piti Block, Luis, Cabal-, lero are among those returning here after previous vis- its. They're bringing along big wave specialist Rafael I Navarro for his first trip. I Hawaiian surfers who have been to Peru can guaran- tee that Peruvian surfers are great competition and fun to chase waves with.

ordered that he two-year prison With time off for being good, Medeiros can get out of prison April 7, 1967. Should the parole board' feel he is not ready to return to society at that time, it can keep him confined until February 23, 1983. when his total maximum te.m ends. Joseph C. Vincent, the other accused slayer of Wadsworth, has had a more varied record of criminal offenses.

He was born June 6, 1932, on Oahu and reared in the Kalihi area. His first adult conviction was in February 24, 1953, for first-degree larceny. He was placed on five years probation. Seven months later a charge that he committed assault and battery against a police officer was dismissed September 27, 1953. The same day he was charged with being a disor- derly person; He pleaded guilty and was placed on one year probation.

Vincent then went to Maui and got into trouble. He was convicted June 4, 1954, of petty larceny and fined $25. He was charged twice in 1956 with being a disorderly person. Both times he forfeited his $25 bonds. On December, 2, 1956, he was charged with rape but a Honolulu jury on April 15, 1957, found him guilty of the lesser offense of assault and the judge threw him in jail for six months.

This was, sufficient! grounds for probation offi-j cers to move that the proba-; tion given him after the 1953 larceny conviction be re-; voked. The judge granted the mo-: tion and sent Vincent to pns on for 10 years April 1957. 25, Eighteen months later, however, Vincent was paroled and he stayed clear of the law until January 8, 1962, when he again was convicted for being a disorderly person. He was fined $25 and given a suspended 60-day jail term. More misdemeanor convictionsprofanity, being drunk in public, trespassing followed in 1963 and 1964, for which he was fined and give, suspeided jail terms.

He had one felony convic tion in 1964 for stealing a car and for this he was placed on five years probation. On January 10, 1965, he was discharged from parole since the 10-year prison term was up. Nine months later he appeared in traffic court and was fined $150 and given 45 days in jail for several traffic violations, among them driving without a license. January 10, Judge C. Nils Tavares of U.S.

District Court sent Vincent where he and hospitalization coverage not extended by Medicare for a monthly cost of $4.
