Queen Escapes
Serious Hurt In
Riding Mishap

LONDON R-The London Star
reported Queen Elizabeth II mar
rowly escaped serious injury today
while riding horseback on the As
cot race course.
The Queen, on a swiftly gallop-
ing horse ducked her head in the
nick of time to avoid running into
a telephone wire stretched across
the course at head level, the Star
said.
A shout from Elizabeth's hus-
band, the Duke of Edinburgh, who
was on another fast horse just
ahead, warned her of the danger.
The Queen refined in and ducked
under the wire, cable connecting
a starting gate with 4 telephone
truck.
The Queen and duke cantered on
to a spot on the track where the
Earl of Roseberry and a small
group were waiting for her.
''We were nearly all decapita-
ted" Elizabeth said.

Lions Hear Gospel OF Civil
Defense" At Weekly Meeting
Local CD Council
Head Tells Purpose,
Needs Of Group
BY BILL spILLMAN

I'm speaking the gospel of
civil Defense" Charles Curry
said last night in a speech at the
weekly Lions Club meeting. "I'm
sincere about it, I believe in it.
Curry, a civil engineer from
Key West and president Of the
city's civil defense council, said,
I'VE can't depend on the local
Navy in the event of a disaster
by attack. They will probably
have their own missions to full
fill and will not likely be in po-
sition to help the city very much.
Civil defense is up to the local
population"
Curry added that the civil de-
tense was not formed entirely for
a war disaster but also for dis
asters of other nature. He gave
as an example, hurricane.
Need Told
He said that a lot of people
feel that civil defense isn't ne
cessary but he added that these
people have the wrong idea. He
said that after a disaster strikes
it is too late to say, Il told you
So"
Curry told the club members
,, that he didn't want them to feel
like he was using the Lions Club
for a sounding board but he had
to start somewhere. He suggest
ed that the Lions Club have a
committee on civil defense. He
asked that the club as well as
other clubs in the city to state a
stand on civil defense.
Curry told of matched dollar
plan whereby the government
would match dollar for dollar to
buy civil defense equipment. He
gave for example, medical sup
plies that could be stockpiled for
an emergency. He added that he
believed that the radios in John
M. Spottswood's police cars were
bought by the civil defense
matched dollar system.
Information Available
Curry said that he has hun
dreds of books on every phase Of
civil defense and will be glad to
let anyone interested to. see
them.
He also said that if martial law
is put into effect, the civil de-

this was to show solid sup

Airlift Active
A two-engine transport plane
with drawn curtains airlifted
dozen men out of Tegucigalpa last

and lugged a radio and several
wooden crates aboard.
Earlier reports said an armed
boat pulled out of the Honduran
port of La Ceiba and headed for
Guatemala. Informants said it was
moving into position for a strike
against the major Guatemalan port
of Puerto Barrios.
Col. Rodolfo Mendoza, former

ONE WORD
Can Change Your Life
By REV. ROBT. OLEWILER
Pastor, Grace Reformed Church
Washington, d. G.
Price

Here's soldering incident, if
there's something you want so bad
~ you're ready to pay any price
for it.
It's about a housewife who had
her husband arrested because Re
threatened to kill her and their
two sons. When she told the Judge
She believed her husband insane,
the court ordered him sent to a
mental hospital. Then the woman
decided She wanted her husband
back again. She said she had lied
to the court and staged a four-day
sit-down strike at the hospital.
Finally, she won his release by
signing a waiver on which she
stated: II want him out, even if he
kills me-"
That's what he did, three months
later. The husband beat her and
the two children to death with a
two-foot length of pipe.
Better stop and think again be-
fore you want something so badly
you'll pay any price, the word that
can change your life.
