EUGENE COLLEGE PRESIDENT KILLED Collision of Automobiles Fatal to Dr. H. E. Knott; Wife Badly Hurt. nAKEHSFIMM), Sept.

25. (AP) An automobile accident Monday took the lifo of Dr. Harold K. Knott ns the Ios Angeles minister was driving to Kugene. there to assume the presidency of the Northwestern Christian college.

Dr. Knoll, pastor of the Univers ity Christian church at Los An geles for the past four years, resigned 12 days ago to take the college position at Kugene. At thp Intersection of the Gold en State and Weedpatch highways near here, his automobile collided with unnther. The minister was fatally injured and his wife was badly hurt. The fuuerul arrangements were, not completed, pending the outcome or Mrs.

Knotl's injuries. Two sons, Harold and Morris, came here from Iho University of Southern California. By FRANK JENKINS JVJOT MUCH longer ago than our grandfathers' time, it was thought that tomatoes wore poisonous. Everybody said bo, and because everybody said so everybody believed it. They were known as "love apples," and wore grown In gardens because of their beauty just as flowers were grown, Hut the children were all warned that they MUSTN'T eat the pretty things.

"piIEN', one. day, some adventur- ous soul ATE ONE. And nothing happened to him nothing bad, that is. Gradually other adventurous souls worked up sufficient courage to eat tomatoes, and nothing happened to them. In course of time, the tomato became one ot our favorite vegetables.

IT HAS always seemed to this writer that a monument ought to be erected to the courageous experimenter who nto the first tomato. He didn't think they were poisonous, but the only way to find out was to TRY. So he tried. In the same spirit, Columbus Balled out Into the then unknown Atlantic, disregarding the foreboding predictions ot those who were SURE the world was flat, and that somewhere or other, out there in the mysterious west, the ocean plunged over a jireclpice that was the edgej.qf the world. Columbus didn't believe that tale, but the only way to prove his theory was to try sailing west into the unknown.

So he tried it, with results that everybody knows. HPIIE name of Columbus has come thundering down through the ages, whereas the name of the bold spirit who ate the first tomato has sunk Into oblivion. It sometimes looks as if there Is no such thing as justice in the world. I 117HEN people started eating to-" mntoes, they kept it up. because they are appetizing and pleasant.

Then somebody started the tomato juice fad, and immediately the tomato became one of the favorites of fortune. First, you see, somebody said the tomato was poisonous, and everyone believed the tale. Then somebody said that tomato juice was hot stuff for the health, and we all believed that. We humans are surely given to going on hearsay. COURSE tomato juice is good for us.
