McGinnis of the Key West Naval Station found that the proceedings of the after- noon were part of a well-planned initiation organized by his ship- mates. ‘Bryon E. Blair, Thomas B, Frittle and Seward G. McGinnis were recently promoted from first class petty officers to chief petty officers at the Key West Naval Air Station. The day of their ad- vancement will always be remem- bered by the three men but it will be most ‘vivid in the mind of McGinnis. For a while he thought he was in serious trouble “Arrest” Made ‘On that eventful afternoon Mc- Ginnis was “‘arrested” by the Master-at-Arms Force of the Naval Air Station and was taken before the Security’ Officer, Lt. C. G. Brady. His worst fears were soon Tealized when the Security Officer told him it was too bad that he had to get into trouble so soon after he acquired his new rate. MeGin- nis was shown a charge sheet with his name on it but they would not let him see any more. He was then taken to the Chief Petty Officers Club at the Naval Air Station and it was there that he realized the full implication of the trouble he was in. He was ltried by a “court” and found guilty of ‘trying on a chief’s hat ‘two minutes before he was offici- ally promoted.” All IN FUN McGinnis-knew then that it was all in fun but his sentence was a different matter. He and the oth- er two new chiefs had to eat their meal out of a “hogs’ trough.” The food was wholesome but the way it was mixed up was nvt too ap- petizing.

Kathy Paxton, who survived more than 40 hours without food or shelter in the High Sierra wil- derness with no more serious con- sequences than a couple of bumps, is going back to Woods Lake to finish her vacation today. The red-clad 5-year-old was lo- ated up the granite cliffs 1% miles from Woods Lake yesterday by Alvin Van Dell, 30, a timber cruiser. He joined the search “‘be- cause I knew the country around Van Dell and a friend, Louis Avery, started to work the high country because they thought others among the 500 looking for Kathy had thoroughly worked low- er lands. Woods Lake is at the 8,500-foot elevation near Kit Car- son Pass on the ridge of the High Sierra. They found Kathy’s footprints— but lost them. After circling fruit- lessly, Van Dell called, “Lou, Lou” to Avery, But it was Kathy who answered. “Why don’t you call me?” she piped from a nearby ledge. She had been sleeping in a crevice when Van Dell called from only a few feet away. Hardly daring to believe it was she, the tall lumberman asked: “Are you Kathy?” “Yes,” she replied with a tiny smile, “and I’m tired.” So Van Dell carried her, chat- tering about. her experiences all the way, half a mile back to a Toad where a California highway patrol car was waiting with her stepfather, Stewart Crandall of Cupertino. She was rushed to search head- quarters, where a doctor from was waiting. Aside from a bruised eye and a chipped tooth suffered in a fall, plus not having eaten for more than a day and a half, Kathy was declared all right. But to make sure, an Air Force ambulance took her and her mo- ther to Carson City, Nev., for a more thorough check. Kathy smiled and waved at everyone, and only cried when she learned that the ambulance wasn’t to take her back to the camp at Woods Lake. After it was all over, Mrs, Cran- dalt said: “If that’s what she wants, to go back to the camp, we'll do it. Per- haps the fun there will make her forget the happening. But it'll not make me forget, I feel like 93 in- stead of 33.” Then she added, “And I'll never forget those wonderful men who hunted and hunted almost without rest while Kathy was lost. I’m just rateful to everyone and every- thing.” Kathy disappeared Friday even- ing. She said she drank water from a hole but had nothing to eat. “At night I lay down on some pine needles,” she said. “It was awfully cold.” It was — 34 degrees each night, Proudly, she added: “I was never scared.” SHE LIKES THE GOP WATERBURY, Conn. — Mrs. Henry C.
