When Struck By Car

Mrs. Madeline Hof Myers, So, Of
near Friendsville, was instantly killed
on U. S. route 40 near the Pennsyl-
vania-Maryland state line last Fri
day midnight when she stepped in
front of an automobile.
The victim, mother of eight chill
drcn, and her husband Roy Myers,

to get into their car when the acct
dent occurred.

would place no charges against the
driver of the car, identified as O. Il.
Wilson, Confluence Pa.
Police said Myers could offer no
explanation for his wifc's failure to
see the approach of Wilson's car, as
the night was clear and visibility
good.
The Myers family resides a short
distance from Markleysburg, Pa,
across the state line in this county,
in the direction of FricndsYilc.
Myers operates sawmill and timber
business. Survivors include her hus-

Power Company Hits
Peak Load October 9th

For the first time in history the
lines of the Monongahela Power COM
pany and its sister companies that
make up the West Penn Electric sys-
TEN have carried peak load in eX-
cess of one million kiowatts. The
record was set Monday, October g.
The actual peak was 1907 900 kilo-
watts.
The system includes Monongahela,
operating in West Virginia and parts
of Ohio and Maryland, also West
Penn Power company and the Poto-
mac Edison company, which supply
electric power in large areas of Penn
sylvania and Maryland and the east
ern panhandle of West Virginia.
The new peak reflected steadily
rising demands for electricity in the
area. 1t failed, however, to tax the
systems available supply. Total capa-
bility is 10000 kilowatts, much of
it added since the close of the war to
meet anticipated new demands. A
new major addition will be the new
10000 kilowatt unit which Mononga-
hela now is installing at its Rives-
vile plant, near Fairmont 1t will be
ready for service by the middle of
next year.
Monongahela's record peak was hit
last fall-a one-hour load of 225 900
kilowatts. On Tuesday, October 10,
it was up to 243,O 900.

SPRING TO BE BRIGHT WITH
 RED, FASHION
Leofa Smith, Buyer for Behrends, Returns from
 Trip to States

Red, light dark, medium = all shades of red will be the predomi- mating and most popular color for spring.
 This is the news brought home by Mrs. Leota Smith, buyer for the B. M. Behrend's women's wear de- partment, after month spent at various merchandise markets along | the Pacific Coast.
 Mrs. Smith left here the first part of January and visited fashion dis plays at Seettle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles. For the first time, eastern manufacturers brought their wares to the Pacific coast to participate in shows held during Buyers Week" at the above cities Mrs. Smith was thrilled and enthused" with her trip. Women" she said will be happy to know that they will see some of the most outstanding styles this spring that we have had for some time. Clothes will not be too ex- trene, but very smart and wear able.'
 Red, she added, has never been so popular. From soft rose tones to deeper melon and on through scar lets, for suits, bags, dresses and accessories, it is without doubt THE color for spring. Navy blue, which heretofore has generally been first, will take second place this year, with bark tones third, then mint green, buttercup yellow and beige next
 Bolero and jacket dresses, she said will be exceptionally good and will be featured in two and three tone color combinations. Suits will be more feminine than they have been with a great deal of attention given to detail.
 Asked about hats, Mrs. Smith smiled broadly.
 This is one year the men are really going to have cause to chuckle and gasp" she said. Hats will range from small to very large and, to put it mildly, will be extreme in style. Feathers, flowers, veils. in over generous doses, will adorn them. But she added that for BehrendS, she had ordered the more conser- vative, but smart, numbers which she knows will please Juneau women.
 An item of interest is announce ment that she obtained dozens of beautiful nylon hlouses in laees, nets and sheers of nationally-known material and wormanship and, best of all, they will retail at prices sure to meet with favor.
 We are going to have smarter apparel this year than we have had for a long time" Mrs. Smith fin ished She is planning to have a spring showing around March l, by which time the spring stock will have arrived.

 Thursday afternoon when I heard the plane was missing I got emer- gency leave. I arrived in Whitehorse Saturday and stayed in a rescue operations room all night. On Sun day morning I boarded the first search plane to leave the post. We were out for about nine hours.
 Contact Made at Snag
 During the flight, we landed at Snag where the plane last made radio contact I made point of talking to the radio operators there who had received the report. They figured the aircraft was about ,25 miles south of Snag. They also said they were shocked immediately after they received the radio report from the plane because they figured it was sent out from a Gibson Girl-a set used for emergency.
 Being a radio operator myself and after talking with them I have req son to believe it was Gibson Girl.

 Devoted Family
 My wife who is an Anglo-Indian was very beautiful and petite. Her home was Hapur, India, and I met her while on war duty while in New Delhi. Saturday was to have been her 23rd birthday anniversary. We three all were very close. Little Victor always shared every meal with me.
 My wife and child are lost and I'm absolutely just stunned. l haven't slept or eaten s:uce Thurs day.
 I've done a lot of praying lately although I never did go to church much. I've kept praying continu- ously for them. I've always believed that a person who has faith in God was much better off than anyone else. Now I'm just sitting and hop ing that my prayers will be an- swered.

Another Rocket Test
SET as One Attains
Speed Of 5,OOOM.P.H
By the Associated Press

LONG RANGE PROVING
GROUND. COCOA, Fla, July IS.
Another giant two-stage rocket
will be fired here Saturday in q
second horizontal test flight OF
missiles.
The first such successful flight
was made yesterday when a IA
ton German W. rocket with a
700-pound missile on its nose
made a climbing turn miles out
over the Atlantic.
The W. reached 10 miles into
the air, then curved downward
and was exploded by remote con-
troll. It's debris fell into the sea
48 miles from the launching plat
form. It reached a speed of 2.700
miles an hour.
The smaller missile, known as
a WAC corporal" sped on, at
tanning speed of perhaps 5000
miles an hour. It's performance
is military secret.
Col. Harold r. Turner, safety
officer and former commandant Of
the proving ground at White
Sands, N. Mex, said the intended
range of the WAC Corporal" was
in excess of ITS miles.
The two rockets measured so
feet high and rose in a burst Of
flame and the sound of q sharp
thunderclap. Power was on the
W. only a minute and it burned
up 10 tons of liquid oxygen and
alcohol in that time.
Gyroscopic controls took charge
as it thundered upward and bent
its path toward the open sea. It
was at $1,000 feet after only O
minute and 20 seconds of fight.
Then the WAC Corporal" sep
arated from the mother rocket and
sped on at a rate described as
"the sum of the two rockets" No
estimate of the speed was made
officially, but private estimates
| ran as high as 5000 miles an hour.
