Lights on for Education Proqram Discussion Set Giants Pass-The PTSA of Grants Pass high school, un der the planning of Ralph Jones, legislative chairman of the unit, has arranged an in formative discussion of the school tax program as its part of the statewide "Lights on for Education" program. F. I. Bristol, former repre sentative to the state legisla ture, will be the main speak er on the subject and it is felt that his experience as a legis lator will make him a well qualified speaker in this field.

Perhaps she came to took the town over in its gala dress. She was attired conserva tively in shades of brown and taupe and walked casually, speaking to no one, not even extending season's greetings. ,She was from the country ' and, like many today, appar ently left her husband keep ing the home fires burning. Nor did she bring a friend with her. She proudly walked albne. it is very likely that many of. her friends were served on platters on Christmas day.

Berri man makes lamps out of a rare form of juniper wood. The wood is extremely hard to find and apparently grows only in the will also be available for ques tions on any phase of the pro posed legislative measures pertaining to their field of school activity. The discussion, presided over by Mrs. R. J. Millemann, high school PTSA president, will precede the regular PTSA meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 3, at 7:30 p.m. It was felt that by combining the two meetings more parents would be encouraged to attend the important sophomore section al meeting which is the sched uled program for January. Immediately following the legislative discussion a panel composed of speakers who will concentrate on problems and subjects pertaining to students at the sophomore level of high school, will be presented. It is hoped that as many parents of sophomore students as possible will attend so that any questions they may have about this year or future high schools may be answered.

Berriman has made more than 80 lamps of the wood. He is shown here displaying his two most recent creations. The floor lamp he is holding weighs 22 pounds. Sheriff Presents Work Furlough Plan to Board Yreka Siskiyou Sheriff A. B. Cottar presented a coun ty jail inmate "work furlough program" to the county board of supervisors Tuesday morn ing. The board agreed to study the proposed program. The proposal calls for an ordin ance that would allow prison' ers with jobs prior to an ar rest to work through the day and serve their nights in jail. Cottar said the program would reduce jail costs and alleviate crowded jail conditions through the day. Money paid to prisoners by employers would be used to pay the expense of keeping them in jail with the balance given to the prisoner's family, Cottar said. The program would also reduce welfare ex penses paid the prisoner's fam ilies by the county, according to Cottar. Cottar recommended that a parole officer or some other designated person administer the program. Records would have to be kept on the number of hours worked by jail in mates and the amount of mon ey earned, he said. A few other California counties already have "work furlough ordinances." The su pervisors will study how the program has worked in these counties. In other action the board approved a lease with Joe Mihacsi to lease an area at the county airport in Weed. The board also approved a motion allowing Mihacsi to conduct commercial airport operations in an executive hangar at the airport, subject to approval by the county planning commission. SYNOD HEAD DIES Salisbury, N.C. - (UPD - Dr. Jacob L. Morgan, 88, first full time president of the North Carolina Luthern Synod, died Tuesday. Jacksonville Man Is From Unusual Type Jacksonville-Job Berriman is a jack of many trades and a master of them all. During his 67 years, Berriman has been coal and iron miner, movie projectionists, rock collector, mining powder blaster and inventor. In 1915 Berriman invented device called an automatic coupler for mining cars which he still holds the patent on. A few years ago he invented a frying pan which eliminated grease spattering. Today Berriman is In semi- retirement. During summer months he does blasting work for local lumber companies. This is his first year of semi- retirement. However, not long ago he became restless, as many re tired men do. "I've got to be doing something all the time to be happy, he says. Bern man solved his problem by falling back on one of his old hobbies, wood working. Work Unusual Berriman's wood working unusual. Although he could probably keep busy making simple projects, Ber riman has undertaken the fas cinating task of creating lamps. Making a lamp is relatively simple. Two or three boards, nails, electric fixtures and paint is all it takes. Not so with Berriman s cre ations. Only a very special va riety of juniper wood will do. This wood grows above the 7,000-foot level of mountains in Wyoming. Berriman dis Th. V 3. Omttnmeni tlnm vf pay Itw thu eiiMrtuwt.

It is so scarce that he has spent days searching without finding one suitable piece. To be suitable the wood has to contain a special phenomenon of nature. Down through the years some pieces grow in a spiral twisted form with a pure white ivory ribbon-like wood wound around the out side of the deep red juniper. Chances of finding such a juniper are small. Berriman usually finds only one or two in weeks of searching. Constant Wind What causes such a growth pattern is not definitely known. Berriman has theor ized that as the junipers grow the constant mountain wind causes them to keep twisting. What causes the white wood is uncxplainable. Berriman became entranced by the strange wood when he moved to Sunrise, Wyo., from Illinois in 1928. In 1930 he made his first lamp. Since then he has turned out over 80. He made close to 50 in one winter. In 1942 he and his wife Mary moved to Jacksonville. The special juniper wood isn't available in this area. So whenever Berriman returns to Wyoming he spends days combing the mountains gath ering enough to bring back to Oregon. His most recent trip was this September. The trip produced only two pieces in days of searching. He had the wood shipped home and started work on "Teaching yourself good habits" used to be the only way to save money. But millions of Ameri cans have discovered a much easier method where they work: The Payroll Savings Plan for U.S. Savings Bonds. This plan is as sure as payday. You tell your payroll clerk to set aside from each check what ever amount you've a mind to, and you never have to give saving another thought. Just 63 a day buys a $25 Savings Bond a month (cost $18.75). Inside of 40 months you'll have your bundle of Bonds worth $1000 at ma turity. . Speak to your employer or payroll clerk to day. In a few minutes you'll be saving for the things you want as well as putting your dollars into a stronger America. You save more than money with Making Lamps of Juniper producing lamps in October. The raw wood resembles a rough post. The outside is rough and reveals nothing un usual. Once the bark is re moved the white and red wood is visible. Great care has to be used in carving. Berriman says the wood splits easily. The carv ing makes maximum use of the twisted shape, following the contours of the spiral closely. The only tools Berriman uses are a chisel, file, knife, wood scraper and small ham mer. The work is done in a small tool shed behind his home. At one time he did all work in the family living room. "My wife got annoyed at having wood shavings all over the house so I had to re treat to the tool shed," he says. The two pieces of juniper have now been transformed into lamps. One is about 18 inches high and the other is 4V4 feet and weighs 22 pounds. Berriman is varnish ing the tamps presently. Lamps Sold Most of the lamps he has produced have been sold.

Berriman welcomes visitors who come to view his unusual lamps. He says his next project will be his most ambitious to date. "I plan on making a four poster bed from juniper." Job Berriman plans on stalking the juniper forests of Wyoming this spring in search of the four posts. He won't be home until he finds them. WRITER DIES South Plainfield.
