When Ed Massa, Register business manager, got interested in Shetland ponies, he decided there was just one man who could handle them correctly in harness. It was Hubert Fruehauf. In addition to his early experience driving his father's teams and those of the Napa Soda Springs, Mr. Fruehauf broke and trained horses on the Stanley ranch south of Napa and worked teams in his farming until converting to power in 1921. It was a real experience to pick up the reins on the ponies after more than 25 years.

It didnt seem as if there had been any lapse of time at all," says Mr. Fruehauf. Driving horses, and particularly a six-horse team as he is now doing for Ed Massa, is just as complicated as it looks. Mr. Fruehauf is the husband of Lydia Tallman Fruehauf and the father of Mrs.

Frances Mara of Chicago and the late Hubert Fruehauf, Jr. He is the brother of the late Nellie and Edna Fruehauf. Mr. Fruehauf first got into the business side of farming in a big way in 1942 when he became a member of the Production and Marketing Administration. He was chairman of PMA's machinery rationing committee all during the war, and for six years he worked with the Farm and Home ply, at the Farm Bureau headquarters at Union Station, in bringing the farm labor office into the set-up, and in securing a representative of the Federal Land Bank Co.

His father was a farmer and for many years he and Frank Busch fanned the area extending from Big and Little Trancas north to Soda Springs School House At one time that land was all in vineyard.

Mr. Fruehauf attended the old high school across from the Polk Apartments and he still has the ribbons asking people to vote the bonds for the new high school, now Intermediate. He also attended Napa i Business College. His father had a contracting business and had lots of horses and he learned to drive as a youngster. One of his early jobs jwas driving a six-horse team hauling Jacksons Napa Soda to the boat I landing, electric depot and Southern Pacific depot.

Also during his early years, Mr. Fruehauf worked for the big cattle barons, including the Howards and-Miller Lux. The latter company owned land from border to border Mr. fruehauf worked principally at the headquarters at Santa Rita. In 1914 Mr.

C. (U.R) The in loose-fitting fatigues, com-Army today sought to fix the blame boots and ammunition bets, after constructing it themselves, of two portable bridge sections. While making a turn it is believed they shipped a little water over the bow and several men became frightened I wont say panicky, Cargill said. They shifted weight apparently to one side, causing it to capsize.

Rescuers arrived within minutes and worked feverishly to save the men, aided a short while later by ambulances, helicopters and small boats that were rushed to the spot, but only two could be revived. The survivors, listed only as Pvts. Caleb N. Wright and Joseph J. Allen, were reported in excellent condition early today by the base hospital where they were flown by helicopter for treatment of minor shock.

for the drowning of 20 young recruits in a training disaster which followed the capsize of a pontoon raft In a shallow lake here. Base officials believed confusion and fright contributed to making this the armed forces worst suSh tragedy since World War II. Only two persons survived yesterday after the propeller-driven raft, formed by two sections of pontoon bridge bolted together to form an assault boat, tipped over 100 yards from the shore of the 10-foot-deep lake.

Cargill, base public investigation officer, said investigators had already begun questioning all persons connected with the accident but plans were not EYES EXAMINED GLASSES FITTED shovel. He held that position for two years and then launched his farming career. He bought some property and leased much more and at one time, from 1938 to 1943, he farmed 5000 acres, His principal crops are hay, grain, sheep, cattle, hogs, prunes and grapes. At the present time, Mr. Fruehauf is farming his own place on Dry Creek which he purchased in 1922, a place on Salvador Ave.

which he and his father bought as his first farming venture, the Buhman ranch on Redwood 1100 acres in Green Island, and 200 acres in Marin Co. One of his biggest leased farming properties was Russ Island, which includes 3200 acres of land. The land has now been taken over by the Leslie Salt Co. This is his last year on Green Island, and Mr. Fruehauf thinks he will retire from his mass operations and just farm the -60 acres at Dry Creek, the 30 at Salvador, and the 35 on the Buhman place.

Well-known to Napans is Mr. One License Tab For Rear Plate LOS ANGELES (U R) The Automobile Club of Southern California estimated today that the state will save $100,000 because of a Vehicle Code amendment which eliminates the use of a registration tab on the front license plate. Under the code, effective Sept. 9, only one tab, for the rear plate, will be issued. DR ALDEN C.

STEIGER OPTOMETRIST completed for any formal hearing or other official action. Cargill said the 20 victims and the two survivors were all privates and members of the 981st Engineer Construction Battalion. A list of the dead released early today showed their ages ranged from 19 to 24. Although he said all men aboard the 25-foot raft were believed ac counted for, Cargill would not of ficially discount the possibility the death toll might be found even higher. He said the engineer trainees were practicing navigation of the raft.
