No Summer Jobs?
Jackson county's first sum
mer work program for teen
agers isn't exactly a whoop
ing success. "Flop" might be a
better word.
The blame, however, doesn't
rest with the teen-agers them
selves. From their enthusiasm,
you'd think they were signing
up for free trips to Bermuda.
Nor have those in charge of
the project been at fault. They
volunteered their services and
they've worked hard.
The program, sadly enough,
is flat on its rear end simply
because adults in the county
have shown virtually no inter
est in it.
The Medford 20-30 club
decided to sponsor the Rej
ect when one of its mem
bers, a young man named
Fred Slock, presented the
idea back in May. Slock
then asked John Palton,
manager of the stale em
ployment service's local of
fice, if his staff would
handle applications. Patton
quickly agreed.
Next, another 20-30ian.
Dick O'Dell. called on
brothers Carol and Lowell
Anderson, owners of East
Side pharmacy in Ashland,
to see if they would operate
a "clearing house" for the
Ashland-Talent area. The

were optimistic about its
chances for success.

Since tl)en, nearly 900 teen
agers from throughout the
county have swarmed lo the
two clearing houses to file
job applications. About 85 per
cent of them still are waiting
for that first job.
It was stressi from the
beginning that private em
ployers would have to show
interest if the program were
to click. The emphasis would
be on sucjQi chores as baby
sitting, yard work and car
washing. Business firms were
figured to play a relatively
small part.
So far, all employers have
played a small part. Only
about 30 or so of the 1)00
teen-agers who applied have
been rgJerrciOto jobs.
r , . ,
The conclusion, then,
must be that parltime em
ployers already had made
arrangements to have such
small jobs performed. Eith
er that, 6Y Jackson county
has more than its share of
dirty cars, overgrown lawns
and unfunded babies.
Stock, however, is a hard
man lo beat down.

with the support the m

can be a success-there's a

I'm told thai for several

been crying for such a o
gram "to give the kids some
thing to do in the miner."

was his first time he had op
crated that particular type of
loader. He was allowed to
examine and operate the con
trols for five mi nil: prior lo
the competition but could not
pick up a log. The loader, he
said, was considerably larger
and was a slower functioning
machine than the one he uses
in the w -ods.
Runnersup Challenge
The runnersup from Cali
fornia had been practicing
for the past four months on
the loader and informed the
new champion that he was
obligated to return next year

At Yreka Meet
By BESSIE BOYD FRASER
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Yreka - Stale Senator Ran
dolf Collier presided over the
meeting of t Mines and
Minerals committee last Wed
?sday night at the Yreka
Inn. There were 19 present,
including chairman Edward
Latcham and assistant secre
tary Pat Hanratty.

only one asbestos mine in the
United Slates and that it is in
Vermont, but there are
thought lo be sufficient asbes
tos deposits near Callahag to
m;e the mining of it profit
able if the various owners can
be brought together and per
suaded to sell the properties.
It is a matter of record that
al least three boatloads of
chrome are putting into Bal
timore each week from fjiussia
and the Philippines. The U.S.
government buys or trades
the chrome for surplus of var
ious kinds, while iskiyou
county chrome mines are be
ing festooned with cobwebs.
Being an election year, it was
thoughl that somebody might
do something to relieve the
situation here at home.
Modern Method Needed
Senator Collier stated that
he had been given $13,0 for
mineral, mine and land re
search in Siskiyou county,
that Ihe days of prospecting
up over hills and down into
gulches feere over, and that
modern method must be
learned.
The slate division of mines
will be asked to send quali
fied men in the area to
teach the miners up to date
techniies, and show them
how to run samples for one
fourth the ceS of old meth
ods. Chairmen of different dis
tricts were given maps and
asked to bring the names of
all mines and locations up to
dale within two weeks, in or
der al Senator Collier may
make a complete report when
he goes to Sacramento in Oc
tober. Next meeting will be
