Snow Blankets Area
By KATHERINE CHAPMAN
Hornbrook - Old Man Win
ter mt Hornbrook with a
punch Sunday evening and
Monday.
-Although only about two
inches of snow fell in town,
the condition of the roads
north over the Siskiyous and
south to Yreka and Mt. Shasta
made access to this area
little rough for a while.
By Tuesday morning, there
was considerable ice on the
streets in town and on the
roads in the surrounding
areas.
A victim of the icy condi
tions was Ardon Burns, who
slipped on the ice in front
of his home and sustained a
broken left arm. He expects
to have to be off the job for
about a month.
What was probably the larg
est family gathering in the
community on Christmas day
was that of the Bray clan,
which took place at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Henley Claw-son.
Attending from the farth
est distance were Mr. and
Mrs. Guy Kraft who drove
up from Colton, Calif. Others
present were Mr. and Mrs.
Gordon Bray and three chil
dren, Mr. and Mrs. George
Bray and three children, Mr
and Mrs. Gene Bray and five
children, Mr. and Mrs. Stan
ley Balfrey and two children,
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Wedin
and Mike, all of Yreka, Mr
and Mrs. Walt Bray of Mon
tague and their three chil
dren, including Mr. and Mrs.
James Favero of Olympia,
Wash., Mr. and Mrs. Rob Cum
mins, Mr. and Mrs. Lor in
Cummins and two children
and her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Ivon Howard.
The Clawson's daughter
and her family, Mr. and Mrs.
"Rusty" Seaman and three
children of Yreka, spent
Christmas day in Medford
with his family, but visited
the next day with the Claw-
sons.
A highlight of the gathering
at the dinner table was the
reading of a letter from the
Kraft's son, Jerry, who is a
geologist with an American
oil company in Tunisia,

Great Decisions Program Will
Start in Valley January 25
"Southern Oregon partici
pation in the 1958 Great De
cisions program was an en
lightening success and the
people of this area should be
congratulated for their inter
est," Raymond E. Petty, Ash
land, of the General Exten
sion Division, said today.
This interest should help in
building the 1959 program
which begins Jan. 25, accord
ing to Petty.
Great Decisions is geared
to the formation of informal
foreign policy study groups of
from eight to 16 persons who
discuss topics provided by the
10-week program.

day, and Bob continued on to

Invitations have been re
ceived here to the wedding
of Miss Emily Jo Sowards and
Louis Raymond McGowen,
which is to take place Sun
day, Jan. 11, in the Methodist
church at Central Valley,

Emily Jo is the daughter of
the Rev. and Mrs. Allen

Methodist church here about
six years ago.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Chap
man were treated to an ex
tremely interesting and "eye
opening" tour of inspection of
a road building project the
early part of December.
Returning home from
Mountain Home, Idaho, Mrs.
Chapman came via Sacramen
to where she was met by Mr.
Chapman and his son, Bill,
of Lodi, Calif.
Bill is now an assistant resi
dent engineer and grade in
spector with the California
Division of Highways, and
while visiting Bill and his
family, he took his parents
on a tour of his present job,
which is the building of a new
highway across the peat bogs
in a straight line between the
Sacramento river bridge at
Rio Vista and the Mokelumne
river bridge.
Anyone who has driven the
existing portion of road be
tween these two points will
appreciate the improvement
in eliminating all the curves
The whole area has been "de-
farmed" and the right of way
backfilled. When completed,
the Rio Vista end will have
1200 sand drains under it.
To make these sand drains,
a steel pipe 40 feet long and
one foot in diameter is driven
into the peat by a huge pile-driver-like
machine. The pipe
is filled with sand, then with
drawn, leaving a "pillar" of
sand, through which the un
derground water is forced up
to the top. .
A total of 650,000 tons of
material are being hauled
from the Brannan Pit on
Seven-Mile delta and placed
on top of the existing peat.
The pit is on state -owned
land, and after this material
has been removed, the area
is to be converted into a state
park especially adapted to
boating enthusiasts and fish
ermen. By working together this
way, both the Division of
Highways and the State Park
System are saving a consid
erable amount of money, m
that the park system is getting
their land levelled and the
Division of Highways gets the
needed material for their fill
work.
The work was started on
Aug. 4, 1958, and it is ex
pected the project will be
completed by Sept., 1959.

of YOU, your famijy, and the protection of your

City Bovernment. He must be always physically
fit. He must respond without hesitation at the
clang of the bell. Night and day, summer and

It is concerned with govern
mental policy on a national
level. This year, however, two
of the topics in Oregon will
deal with this state.
The program gives all par
ticipants the facts of several
major problems facing our
leaders, Petty said. "It allows
us to come to our own deci
sion as a means of actual par
ticipation in the democratic
process," he declared.
Each person, after studying
the facts of each weekly ses
sion can then complete his
personal "opinion ballot,"
which will in turn be sent to
Oregon State college and ac
cumulated with all others in
Oregon. In this way, an indi
vidual opinion, supported by
thousands of others, can pre
sent a "voice" of the public
which can help determine the
action on some of our major
issues in public affairs.
According to reports made
to the statistical center, of the
seven counties of southern
Oregon, Coos, Curry, Doug
las, Jackson, Josephine, Kla
math, and Lake, participation
in the group discussions in the
1958 program was led by Coos
county with 399 members in
39 groups.
This was followed by Jose

and 300 members; Jackson
county with 20 groups and
250 members; Douglas county
with 5 groups and 94 mem
bers; Curry county with 6
groups and 65 members; and
Lake county with 4 groups
and 45 members.
Of the 30 counties of Ore
