"Tin's course I'm taking is not
the first one I've taken." says
Pelvic Dillstrom, speaking of the
education he is presently acquir
ing by home study.
Helvie first enrolled in' a cor
respondence course in Radio
Television service and repair
some four years ago with Indus
trial Training Institute of Chi
cago. Having completed roughly
one-third of that course at his
own expense his enrollment in the
Klamath Education Program was
authorized, whereunder he com
pleted the course in March of
1959. (Correspondence courses are
not authorizable under the Pro
gram 'except in instances where
students have already completed
a substantial portion of the
course on their own, as Pelvic
did.)
After he completed Radio-TV,
Pelvic resolved to get a little
practical experience, made a few
house calls and developed his shop
at home. Then in June of this
year he got started on an ad
vanced electronics course in two
wav communications with DcVrv

Technical Institute of Chicago,
111., again by correspondence.
"I've actually completed eight
lessons, and am on the ninth now.
Pve completed two of the lab
kits which actually train you in
how to lay out a radio circuit,
what they look like and how to
recognize them right off." He
points out that the lab kits afford
the student some practical appli
cation of the theory acquired in
the lessons.
During his years of corres
pondence study he has delved into
such complex matters as RF sec
tions, oscillators and mixers, TV
tuners, detectors, audio and video
sections. He acknowledges that
all of this has come pretty hard,
particularly as he has taken it by
correspondence. Pelvic sees no
comparison between correspond
ence work and actual attendance
at a school. The latter route to
education he considers much
more favorable, offering immedi
ate supervision by instructors to
point out mistakes. Put a com
pensation for the correspondence
student, he believes, is that "when

No Bids Received At
Klamath Agency Sale
"There are no bids," was the
familar phrase heard at the land
sales office August 25. Rollo
Moore, acting officer-iu-charge,
made the pronouncement, in ref
erence to building parcel A-Klam-ath
Agency, buildings and
grounds.
Some 30 persons attended the
scheduled opening of non-member
bids and learned that one group
of tribal members and one in
dividual member have expressed
an interest in exercising their
preferential right to acquire the
property. The group and individ
ual will have until 4:30 p.m., Sep
tember 8, 1960, to complete and
submit to the land sales office
preferential offer forms showing
their definite desire to purchase
the property. If both individual
and group submit completed
forms, oral auction bidding will
then be held to effect the sale,
with the realization value of
$130,655.38 as the starting price.
The invitation, bid, ami award
information on building parcel A
specified that title would be con
veyed to the purchaser on or
about Dec. 1, 1960. Mr. J. L. Did
doek, realty officer from the
Portland area office of the PIA,
elaborated that title was being so
conveyed to allow for fire pro
tection through the fire season,
fire protection headquarters be
ing at the Agency. He held out
the possibility of an earlier con
veyance if rains or snows brought
the fire season to an earlier end.
He also stated that earlier title
might be secured by the pur
chaser through agreement for use
of certain portions of the Agency
by the fire protection agencies.
A tribal personalty sale on
August 11 (KTP-4-60), featuring
96 items, brought a total bid price
of $20,355.45. All of this amount
was derived from pledges of pro
rata shares by withdrawing mem
bers, no cash being received. Only
five non-member bids were sub
mitted, all unsuccessful. The next
tribal personalty property sale is
scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 22,
at 10 a.m. at the council house,
Klamath Agency.
Sub-Comm. Meets, :
Hears Progress Report,
Slates Game Confab
Non-withdrawing sub-committee
members met with R. H.
Lung, trust officer, at the U. S.
National Hank in Klamath Palls
Aug. 25. Husiness requiring the
attention of the sub-committee
was introduced and a progress
report on trust management was
heard.
The question was first raised
as to whether another general
meeting of remaining members
should be held. The June general
meeting of remaiuees being char
acterized as a success, it was
agreed that another such general
meeting should be called for the
end of the year December 20,
specifically. Details of time and
place would be announced later.
Administration of hunting and
fishing on the remaining area was
introduced as a subject requiring
the careful attention of the sub
committee. With final termina
tion slated for next year, the
necessity of setting up an admin
istrative plan to protect remaiu
ees' hunting and fishing rights on
the area and to avoid confusion
over hunting and fishing on the
area was pointed out. The need
for clearly designating remaining
area boundaries, and establishing
some sort of identification sys
tem was mentioned. The possi
bility of forming a game manage
ment committee, comprised of
both sub-committee members and
remaining members at large, was
posed. Sub-committee members
feeling they would like h give
these matters some thought be
fore taking definite action, and
also desiring to give other inter
ested remaining members a
chance to express themselves, a
meeting was called for Monday,
Sept. 12, at the Klamath Educa
tion Office in Chiloquin, to dis
cuss hunting and fishing ques
tions. (See notice regarding this
meeting elsewhere in this issue).
Lung suggested the idea of a
conducted field trip of the rcmaiu-
