Report

The Fourth of July is here and
to many people that means picnic
time. Do you know the simple pre-
cautions to follow to insure safety
when you are~Jhaving fun picnic
ing?
Here are a few do and don't
Don't prepare food that spoils
easily, such as cream pies, fish and
egg salads, mayonaise dishes, sau-
ces, gravies and creamed dishes.
Such foods must be kept cold un-
til they are eaten. If you prepare
food of this type, pack it in ice
so that it will keep cold until you
get to the picnic area and are
ready to eat. If you are in doubt
about being able to keep it cold,
don't plan to take it.
Sometimes there is no safe
drinking water near the picnic
spot, so remember to take your
own water. and don't take any
chances.
It's also a good idea to put a
first aid kit in with your picnic
supplies. Include materials for
cuts and burns, insect bites and
poisonous plants.
Before you leave the picnic area,
be sure your camp fire is out, and
clean up all the garbage, leaving
the picnic grounds clean.
With these safety measures, you
will insure family outings that will
be happy times to enjoy and re-
member.
Broiler-fryer chickens and the
"teen-age turkeys" are best buys
at the meat counter this weekend.
The prices of these to 5 Id. tur-
keys are ranging around Acc h.,
making them cheaper than most
meats. Even hamburger has gone
up a penny this week, making it 10
cents a lb. higher than the "teen-
age" turkey.
The continued hot dry weather
is beginning to cut the supply of
few vegetables. Snap beans,
green peas and green onions are
all little higher in price and SUI
pplies are smaller due to the wea-
Their. Some tomatoes show signs
of the dry weather, especially
those shipped in from Virginia and
further south. They are a little
understood and the tops are crack
ed in some cases, however, the
flavor is certainly there.
New potatoes, beets and summer
squash, apparently do not mind the
heat, since they are in good supply
and prices have dropped bit on
all three.
Fruits are bit cheaper this
week.
Eggs are on the seasonal price
escalator. Grade A large eggs in
creased about cents a dozen this
week; Grade A medium are up 5
cents; Grade B large, up 8 cents.

Abducted Grandmother
Safe After Wild Chase

FAIRFIELD, Calf, Feb. 6
(AP) A gunman abducted a
ranch wife from her home last
night, then was captured to-
day after a pre-dawn chase in
which police cars pursued him
and his victim at sppeds of
more than 100 miles an hour.
The abductor wrecked the
car he was driving in a deS-
perate attempt to break out
of a mobile police trap.
His captive, Mrs. Hilda Faye
Dawson, 65, bleeding and
shocked after hours Of terror,
followed by the wreck, was not
injured seriously.
Police identified the suspect
as Charles Macarthur, 40. Of
Dixon.

The man forced Mr.. Dawson,
a frail, bespectacled man, to
lie down on the floor of the
bedroom and tied his hands be-

Then he told Mr.. Dawson:

loose, so you might as well not
call anybody"
He then ordered Mrs. Dawson
out of the house and, at gum
point, to get into her husbands
car.
The kidnaper roared away
with his victim. Mr.. Dawson
freed himself and telephoned
police.
An alarm was broadcast.
Shortly after $50 an, a high
way patrol car spotted the kid
nap automobile racing on a
back road near Winters, some
so miles northeast of San
Francisco.

The chase began, with the.
kidnaper doubling back on
roads In efforts to elude his
pursuers.
Although driving fast. the
kidnaper fred several shots,
police said. They refrained
from shooting in fear of hit
ting Mrs. Dawson.
On highway 40, police and
highway patrol cars lined up
abreast and blocked the road.
The kidnaper crashed
through the cars, wrecking the
Dawson car and two police
automobiles, but his fight was
halted.
They said he fired a final
shot as they closed in and
seized him.
Mrs. Dawson, suffering from
cuts on her face and neck, was
treated by a doctor and then
taken home.
Deputy Sheriff Al CORDOBA
estimated the chase covered
more than "a miles.

right up against the l20 mark

ment purposes for time spent in
the Government. Mr.. Holi-
fields bill would give them the
option Of using part of the re-
fund OF their civil SERVE re-
tirement contributions to OBJ
tain up to five years Of credit
for social security purposes.
They would pay the regular
social security tax to be entitled
to this credit, which would be
based on the actual time they
worked for the Government.
Since these employees pre-
sumably will enter industry
or have worked for industry
before coming to Government
the credit for their Government
service would aid them in quail

fits.
Federal workers who leave
the Government with more
than five years of service now
have the right to withdraw
their retirement contributions

for a deferred civil service re-
