Nation’s Weather
Coldest of Season
(By The Associated Press)
The nation’s midsection shivered
in the coldest weather of the sea
son today.
Bone-chilling winds up to 60
miles per hour whistled across
the northern plains and upper
Mississippi Valley. Snow blan
keted wide areas in the Rockies
and northern Midwest areas but
falls diminished as the storm
moved east and southward dur
ing the night. However, blizzard
warnings were in effect during
the night in eastern North Dako
ta and northern Minnesota.
Temperatures dropped below
zero in sections of Colorado, Wyo
ming, Montana and North Dako
ta. They tumbled into the 20’s
and lower from the mid Missis
sippi Valley through the Central
Plains.
Generally cold and fair weather
was the outlook for most of the
nation tomorrow, Thanksgiving
Day.

Black Bears Wreck
Phone Company’s Poles
In Search For Honey
LACONIA, N. H., UP)^-The New
England Telephone Co.’s area wire
chief stared at the stack of letters
on his desk and murmured, “We’ve
got a bear toy the tdil.”
Ernest Goland has a problem
that’s stirring natioswide interest
— and suggestions.
Two weeks ago the telephone
company disclosed that black
bears are wrecking 50 of its poles
at Warren in a misguided search
for honey.
The bears, apparently mistak
ing the noise of humming wires
for that of beehives, stand on
their hind legs and swat the poles.
Some of the poles have been
gouged out to a depth of three
inches.
Details of the telephone com
pany’s troubles were spread across
the nation and Canada in an As
sociated Press story.
Proposed solutions promptly
poured in by letter and telephone.
The company has received mail
from points as far apart as Dart
mouth, N. S., and Dallas. Tex.
Most of the letter writers sug
gested that the company sheath
the poles with metal but the firm
noted that linemen must sink
their climbing spurs into the
poles occasionally and climb them.
“Perhaps,” mused Goland, “we
could fit the poles with metal
jackets and put zippers in the
jackets so linemen could easily
remove them.”

Saves Choking
Father’s Life By
Cutting Throat
ST. PAUL, Minn., OR — “Get
scared?” — There wasn’t time
— and after it was all over, there
was no reason to.”
That was the way Robert F.
Olson, 37-year-old suburban Rose
mount farmer described his reac
tion > yesterday to a dramatic
kitchen knife operation in which
he saved the life of his 71-year
old doctor father who was choking
on a piece of ham at a wedding
anniversary celebration.
The emergency surgery was per
formed Sunday by Robert and a
(brother, Charles, 40, in the kitchen
of Robert Olson’s farm home. They
used a paring knife and tube
from a fountain pen to open the
windpipe of Dr. Charles A. Olson
and restore the flow of oxygen
to his lungs.
Neither brother had any medi
cal training. Robert said he was
elected to performe the operation
because he knew where the wind
pipe was.
The doctor was described as in
good condition in a hospital yes
terday, and is expected to be re
leased in a few days. Hospital
physicians said they had to do
a little “repair work.” on the in
cision in the doctor’s throat, but
that the two brothers saved the
older man’s life.
Charles Olson said his father’s
face was “grey-black” when they
carried him from the dining room
where some 30 guests were cele
brating the doctor’s 25th wedding
anniversary to his sons’ step
mother.
Judge Andrew A. Glenn, a St.
Paul probate judge, said that af
ter Robert made the incision a
tube was needed to insert in the
throat. He said he tried cutting a
piece from the-handiest object, a
hula hoop, but it was too big so
they cut a piece from the barrel
of a fountain pen he was carrying.
Charles Olson said, “It took
some pounding and moving him
about, but we got my father
breathing again.”

««WH
Nixon In London,
Says We Won’t
Reward Aggression
By STERLING SLAPPY
LONDON, UPi — Vice President
Nixon began a four-day visit to
Britain Tuesday- with a pledge
that the West will stay in Berlin.
Nixon warned against a policy
of “rewarding aggression” through
appeasement either in Berlin or
the Formosa Strait. He spoke at
a luncheon of the Pilgrims’ So
ciety, an influential British-Amer
ican friendship organization.
The Vice President and Mrs.
Nixon arrived in England after an
overnight flight from Washing
ton. With London Airport
shrouded in fog, they landed an
hour late, 20 miles south of Lon
don, and took a train into the
city.
Foreign Secretary Selwyn L.
Lloyd, U. S. Ambassador John
Hay Whitney and other members
of the official welcoming party
hurried from the London Airport
to greet Nixon at the nhlroad sta
tion.
Although the Communists have
scheduled an anti-Nixon demon
stration, there were no incidents
as the party drove away from the
station in 10 black limousines.
Nixon came to represent Presi
dent Eisenhower Wednesday at
the dedication of a chapel in St.
Paul’s Cathedral which honors
28,000 Americans killed in World
War II. They had been based in
Britain.
Queen Elizabeth II will enter
tain the Nixons and have Thanks
giving Dinner at the U. S. Em
bassy with them. The Vice Presi
dent is scheduled to have four
discussions with Prime Minister
MacMillan on broad international
problems, including Berlin.
PERSISTENT TRAINER
ROME, UP) — The hyena and
the tiger had other ideas, but
animal trainer Orlando Orfei
said the show must go on.
The hyena bit Orlando in the
thigh during an afternoon per
formance Tuesday. Doctors wanted
to keep him in the hospital, but
the trainer went back to his cir-.
cus for the evening performance.
That time the tiger sank his
teeth into his arm. Orlando got
free, insisted on finishing the act,
then went back to the hospital.
