Albert Shue , burn at Klamath
Agency and high-school educated
at IJroukings, ( Irenii, is in liis

schnul and college Albert put in
vcars iti the navy, where he pick
ed up a lot of training, although
in the electronics rather than
business field, lie gnt experience
in electronics counter measures,
radio telephone and wound up as
a cotnhat information center su
per visor.
In taking retail husiuess p
cration, Alhert is mainly intcr
csted in the financial end nf it.
lie is getting cnurscs in sales
manship, i 1 1 1 1 nduction to husiuess,
business F.nglish, mathematics,
husiuess law. and accounting.
( )nce done with the course, one
school year in length, he plans to
enroll at SOt ' in Ashland in husi
uess administration, to work for
a decree. What he will do alter
reaching that point depends part
ly on termination. He is thinking
of investing a portion of his pro
rata share in a motel operation in
Sacramento. Otherwise: "I can
look for a job like any other pcr
sbn with a decree would." Sizing
up O.T.I. : "I think it's pretty
good. 'I hey cover their subjects
thoroughly."
On current termination issues:
1. Reappraisal: "It seems at
present the reappraisal is down
because lumber is down but next
ear it might jump up and bring
it to the level of the first ap
praisal. 1 hey can't s.iy what price
we'll get right now when they
don't know what the price of
lumber will be by the end of term
ination. 1 really don't think it
means much. When termination is
over we'll know for sure how
much we're going to get."
However, if the government
winds up buying most of the tim
ber, Albert figures the reappraisal
"Does make quite a bit of dif
ference" as the government will
buy at the realization value.
Another point : "those, appraisal
companies I don't think they
can get a very accurate appraisal
of that timber up there anyway.
They couldn't count every tree
up there."
J. I. nans: "J think it's a good
deal. It's going to help all and es
pecially those that don't have any
other income besides per capita
checks.
"I was almost positive thev
wouldn't net their $10.(XK).(X) loan.
They should et just enough to
give them a fairly nice income
until the end of termination.
"In obtaining loans during
termination they might have" a
better realization of how to take
care of money. They probably
won't spend it so foolishly when
they do get it."
Private Trusts: "That's the
vers best thing they could do. 'The
children will probably realize it
when they come of age how im
portant it was that these trusts be
set up lor them.
The biggest factors inducing
Albert to withdraw were:
1. "(letting out from being a
ward of the government," and,
J. "Having the capital in the
bank in case 1 wanted to invest."
As a withdrawce, Albert .fig
ures he will come out consider
ably better than the remaining
members: "From what I heard
the remaining members will be

In the second term of a six
term diesel technology course at
OTI is Donald .entry, 1958 grad
of Chilo(uin High School. Don
was born and raised in this area
and is entirely a product of local
schools. He played football all
four years at CHS, lettering the
same. .
Don got started at OTI last
September with courses in weld
ing, shop physics, and gas engine
lab and tech. I le is continuing this
winter term with blueprint read
ing and sketching, pump room,
and math. He figures shop phys
ics and pump room have been
about the toughest Pso far. .-Shop
physics presented a problem as
he didn't take any physics hi high
school. Pump room, while ljffi
cult, he finds interesting as in
volving a study of all kinds of
diesel pumps, a big part of the
diesel field.
"You tear apart different
pumps and injectors and learn all
about the different types."
Other work he is scheduled for
in the .future includes general
chassis tech, electric systems,
heavy duty transmissions, heavy
duty equipment tech, and engine
diagnosis tech. He will also get
a considerable workout in the
will with charges for administer
ing their affairs. They won't be
getting as much as they had been
before."
A final suggestion on termina
tion: "I always thought that be
fore termination they should have
a government auditor go through
our disbursal accounts at the
Agency and make sure no illegal
transactions have 'taken place
with our money up there."
school's big diesel engine shop
come spring term.
Appraising the course: "It's a
good course but it's pretty tough.
I'm learning quite a bit."
Don isn't exactly sure what got
him interested in diesel in the
first place, but is aware that it is
a big field. He is also uncertain as
to what he'll do when he gradu
ates. "I haven't though of it much
there's probably a good chance
for a job though'."
He does doubt, however, that
he'll use the training back on the
ranch as diesel doesn't play a big
part there.
Don hasn't much to say on
termination other than that he
withdrew, figuring it was a
"better deal". He has as yet
evolved no plans for use of his
pr rata share in going into
business. He adds that he doesn't
hunt and fish much so loss i(
hunting and fishing rights is not
a great concern.
'The loan program he regards as
a "good deal" as he does the ed
ucation program. He also admits
to being a reader of the 'Tribune:
"It. makes things a lot clearer. I
think it's good information. "
Don and wife, Ronnie, reside in
Klamath Falls while school is in
session.
'The children were discussing
their origin.
"I came from the hospital," said
one.
" The doctor brought me," said
the second.
"Xot me," said the third. "I
came with the stork."
"My folks were poor," said the
fourth. "I'm homemade."
