Gold Hill
Wins Boettcher Safety Award
My MARY KELL
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Gold Hill - The Ideal Ce
ment company honored em
ployees of the Gold Hill ce
ment plant and Marble Mt.
quarry at a Boettcher Safety
Award picnic recently at Tou-
veiie state park. This was
the third time that the local
unit has received this distinc
tion. It was one of eight Ideal
plants in the company's chain
of 17 cement plants to receive
the Boettcher award this
year.
The picnic was held in
recognition for the extended
safety record that has been
achieved by the Gold Hill
plant management and em
ployees.
There were no lost time
accidents during the years
1957, 1958, and 1959. The
local unit had passed its
1,550th consecutive day of
operation without a disabling
injury.
The Marble Mt. quarry lo
cated near Wilderville, south
of Grants Pass, celebrated its
sixth consecutive year with
out a -disabling Injury. An
average of 108 men are em
ployed by the company at the
Gold Hill plant and the
quarry,
Address Given
The welcome address was
given by Frank A. Sutcliffe,
manager of the Gold Hill
Ideal Cement plant. He ex
pressed gratitude to all who
were responsible for having
achieved the extended safety
record.
J. - Raymond Ritter, plant
chemist and safety director
at the Gold Hill cement plant
said he is proud of his fellow
workers for accomplishing
the outstanding safety record,
which he hopes will continue
through 1960. He said that it
Is only through the effort ol
each Individual that such a
record Is possible.
Ritter said that each month
a complete inspection is made
of the entire plant by a com
mlttee of three employees to
determine all factors that are
vital to the workers' safety
and accident prevention. This
committee, he said, Is changed
every three months to give
all employees an opportunity
to serve. A general safety
meeting is held every three
months, at which time a spe
cific safety program is plan
ned. Usually films are used.
Whenever possible, he said,
outside speakers are asked to
give informative safety talks
and Instruction to the men.
These speakers have Included
doctors, fire officials and po
lice officers. Highway and
home safety are stressed as
well as good safety habits on
the job, he said.
Highest Safety Award
The Charles Boettcher
plaque is the highest safety
award presented to any unit
of the Ideal Cement company
system. To qualify, the plant
must . have completed one
calendar year without a lost
time accident. The Gold Hill
cement plant qualified for this
honor in 1957 and was award
ed the Boettcher plaque, Aug.
2, 1958.
To retain the award perma
nently, a plant must have
completed two consecutive
years without a lost time ac
cident. This safety record was
accomplished by the local unit
in 1958. And the Boettcher
plaque was permanently pre
sented to the Gold Hill unu
July 25, 1959, during the sec
ond Boettcher picnic.
At the present time, the
Gold Hill Ideal Cement plant,
one of seventeen plants in the
Ideal Cement company's sys
tem, has achieved the longest
consecutive period without a
lost time accident among all
of ' the company's plants,
which are located throughout
the United States in various
parts of the country from the
eastern coast to the western
coast. Paul Thompson, assist
ant master mechanic, re-ac
cepted the Charles Boettcher

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.

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. J. Coleman in
1958 and 1959.
The Blue Creek rd., which
taps timber and recreation re
sources in the Rock Creek
area near Ti Bar. will eventu
ally tie into a similar road
system on the Six Rivers Na
tional Forest and provide ac
cess to the coast. An estimat
ed 140 million board feet of
Klamath National Forest tim
ber will be tributary to this
road. Fishermen and picnick
ers are already taking advan
tage of the access to Rock
creek and Lake Oogaromtok
(the frog pond). Fire crews
will be able to reach fires in
the area sooner and several
miles of trail will be elimi
nated. Orleans Veneer & Lumber
Co. is logging the Frog Pond
sale, which is the first sale
tributary to this road. Addi
tional timber sales which will
be hauled over this road in
the near future are the Hal

to be constructed will cross
Bark Shanty creek, a highly
regarded fishing stream.

Peruvian Exchange Student
Comments On American Ways
By DOTTIE HARBISON
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Eagle Point - Noe' Ganzal
ez, an International Farm
Youth exchangee, is presently
staying with the Don Geren
family of Eagle Point. 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.
Women Are Homemakers
Getting used to the idea of
seeing women work, drive
tractors and work in the yards
is hard for him to do. They

expect their women to have
the meals ready and look
beautiful when they get home,
he said. 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.

Noe' claims that the birth-
day is just another day to the
people of the United States. In
Peru on the day before your
birthday all of your friends
come over and dance and cele
brate all day and all night.
The men who have to go to
work eat breakfast, go to
work, come back for soup and
celebrate all night.
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.
Notes Large Production
Here he has found relation
ships very cold. The average
age for marriage for girls is
18 to 23 and 23 to 30 for the
boys there. He also noted the
youth in the United States
leave home at about 16 and
commented on the divorce
rates.
Noe' also noted the large

probably wouldn't use quite
as much in the United States
if they had to buy it from
other countries. They use
some tractors and oxen in his
section of Peru.
Noe' also said that in Peru
man proudly pounds his
chest and says, "I am 95 years
old and have 6 or 8 children."
In the U. S. everyone is afraid
to tell how old they are and
apologetically says I have
three or four youngsters," he
said. ;
