Nurses Survive Night
Out in Freezing Weather
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., UP) —
A trio of Albuquerque nurses,
lost in an isolated mountain area
and faced with freezing tempera
tures, have been found unharmed.
Joan Yelvington, 21, Margaret
Burke, 35, and Maxine Stephens,
33, driving into the Jemez moun
tains north of here Tuesday for
a picnic, got onto the wrong road
and the car engine died because
of ignition trouble.
“We knew we would get lost
if we went outside the car,” Miss
Yelvington said.
So they settled down for the
night. By Wednesday morning, the
car windows were coated on the
inside with ice. They managed to
keep warm enough with the
clothes they had worn for the
outing.
The women walked several
miles Wednesday until they
reached a logging camp, and two
men there went back to repair
the car.

American History Lesson
FREEHOLD, N. J., UO — Is
honesty the best policy? A high
school class here evidently thinks
so — now.
The students at Freehold Re
gional High School were taught
a lesson by their American history
teacher, Melvin C. Willett.
The class held a discussion on
rigged television quiz shows, and
in the words of Willett:
“As we discussed the subject, I
became, perturbed at the attitude
of most of the students. They felt
that because of the big money
prizes involved and because it
was not illegal, it was all right
for quiz contestants to accept
answers.
So Willett made up. a real
whopper of an American history
quiz. He hinted to nine of the stu
dents that he wouldn’t mind if
they looked at the answers lying
on his desk. They did.
The nine got perfect scores.
Willett flunked the rest of the
class.
j Then Willett revealed what he
had done.
“They all objected violently,”
he said, “complaining about the
unfairness of the situation. ‘AH
right,’ I told them, ‘we will now
have another discussion on rigged
TV quiz shows’.”
