Do-lt'Yourself Haircut Proves Too Drastic For Small Yreka Boy BY BESSIE BOYD FRASER Mail Tribune Correspondent Yreka-Sammy gave him self a haircut by which ha hoped to create a new style, but it was too drastic even for the ten-year-old gang. He is visiting his father, a miner in the Humbug area who insists, "You cut it, now you can earn the $1.50 to pay the barber to make you look like a human being again, though I doubt ha can do it for twice that amount," Jobs are hard to find dur ing vacation for a ten-year-old boy, so he gathered to gether all of his old treas ures down at the mine, but when ha tried to sell them to any of his pals, they just sneered, "What. BUY that old junk?" No so long ago these same objects had seem ed like priceless treasures to the same kids, providing they were give-aways. It is the old story of sup ply and no demand, and to make matters more critical, Sammy is due to return to his mother in Nevada on Saturday and he fears she will disown him, if she rec ognises her son. ' But if there are elephants at the Siskiyou County fair, if they are thirsty and if he can get a job carrying water to them, his problem will ba solved. Access Roads Open In Iflamalh Enrnrl I iii ixiauiaiu I UICJI Yreka - The Orleans Ve neer and Lumber Co. hauled the first truck load of logs over the new Blue Creek tim ber access road this month ac cording to Forest Supervisor Charles Yates. The first mile of this access road was con structed by a Forest Service construction crew under the supervision of Philip Patton in 1956. Construction on the remaining 6.5 miles was con tracted by M.

Noe' is originally from Cajamarca, Peru, a parliament in the north end of Peru located about 9,000 feet above sea level and 600 miles south of the equator. Noe' is 25 years of age. He comes from a family of eight, having two sisters and four brothers, and is employed as a field man for Nestles com pany which handles milk in stead of chocolate in Peru. He presently owns 29 acres of land, part of it in pasture, where he raises alfalfa, bro mo, corn and beans. When hiring help on his farms in Peru the pay scale is quite different from ours. Each person employed is giv en from two to eight acres to grow his own vegetables on and is given two meals and $1.50 in cash each day. The ground is returned to the own er when he quits work.

Maybe once in a while you will find a woman em ployed as a clerk, but not very often, as the demand for clerks is small in Peru. "Everyone works too much here" was his comment sev eral times. According to Noe', the people here have evident ly forgotten how to stop wor rying and enjoy themselves. They work, work, and work just to change cars and get a lot of things that aren't neces sary, while they like to live easy, he said. Noe' arrived in Miami, Fla., on April 28. He couldn't speak a word of English when he arrived. Armed with a dic tionary he learned most of his English on buses and by talk ing to his friends on the streets. Noe' said he could tell by looking at a person whether he could speak Span ish. He also speaks French and today has a very large English vocabulary. Noe' completed two years of college. Part of his English he has picked up at the Rotary clubs and other clubs also, but credits most of it to talking on the buses. BEANS 3ao i AT THE MEDFORD STORE TBTCrt - I i .

Noe' compared the atttudes of the people in the United States with the customs of the Peruvians in regards to fam ily living customs. In Peru the boys do noi work until they are about 25 years of age unless it is for their fathers. Their fathers raise them until they are 25 and when they get married they quite often live with one set of parents Noe' said. They will then take care of their parents when they are older.
