Newspaper Page TextMONDAY, v 4 RONALD KALISTA Seeki Council Seal Gold Hill Council Candidate Kalista Tells Background Gold Hill - Ronald Kallstra, who is seeking election for a lour year term on the Gold Hill city council, has been a resident three and a half years. He came to Oregon about 13 years ago from his home town of Toledo, Wash., vhere he received his formal education. Kalista has no former expe rience in city affairs. The fact that he was defeated in the ljst city election did not dis courage him. He would like to be a councilman, he says, be cause he is Interested in the community, which he feels is a duty of each resident. He added that he feels it is time the city council "has newer grass growing" and it is time "to get some of the old Ijrass burned off." Served In Korta Kalista, a former sergeant in the U.S. Army, is a Korean War veteran. He did a tour of n months duty in Korea, 18 months of it during the war. He is now employed as a ship ping clerk for Kogue Valley i'lywood at White City. His civic Interests include volunteer fire department, of which he has been a member the past year, and the Gold Hill Lions club, which he joined several months ago. During leisure hours he does cabinet work and enjoys working in the yard at his home on Fifth ave. Sharing this Interest is his wife, Dol ores. The couple have three s-ons, Bill, a third grader, and DeWayne, a first grader at Patrick Elementary, and Paul, 2.

Main St. Phone: 482-243 1, Ashland Life insurance available on 2322 TO OCTOBER 8. 1962 Regional Roundup by Clave Twitched Mail Tribune Regional Editor "Being mayor of a small city is like running a busi ness," says Mayor E. O. Graham of Jacksonville. "The people of the city are your 'investors.' They expect you to make a profit in the sense of making improvements in the city." Graham looks upon the mayor's post, which he has now held for two terms, as one involving quite a bit of work, but also as one with many rewards. "I've been happy with what's been accomplished in the city during the last four years," Graham says. "I've met a lot of people, and it's certainly been an education." On the other hand, the mayor comments, "People don't realize how many hours the council has put in on our sewer project alone. People sit back and watch their tele vision seta while you work away. If they like what you come up with, everything's fine. But if they don't like it, you're in trouble." Being mayor of a small city affords contact with vir tually all the community's residents, Graham adds, and he feels this is an advantage, as sometimes, personal contact with all the residents is the only way to explain compli cated city council actions to the people. Some Unusual Problems This close contact is time-consuming, however, as peo ple tend to come to the mayor with all of their problems, regardless of whether they have anything to do with the city or not. Graham has been approached by residents wanting to know how to go about making a will and others seeking advice on insurance problems. Mayor Graham has decided to run for re-election this year, and the opportunity for close contact with the resi dents is one of the factors behind his decision. Graham feels there arc several Important projects in the works at present on which he is obligated to follow through. One, of course. Is the city's soon-to-be-installed sewer system, which has been the center of some controversy. Another is a proposed city park that is in the works. A third is an urban renewal program in Jacksonville. Graham is a little concerned about what he calls a "dis satisfied minority" in Jacksonville. "There's been a dissat isfied minority with every issue we've had in the nine years I've been in city government (five on the council, four as mayor), and it's always the same group." The mayor indicates he'd like to continue his efforts to see that important projects are not stymied by this minority but vocal group. Who Died? I Detective story writers sometimes use the plot about a man reading his own obituary as a gimmick, but we never expected to see this column become involved in such a situation. We hope that Harry Smith, former mayor of Gold Hill, now living, we are told, in California, was not too shocked to read the other day that he had died. (We understand that some of his Gold Hill friends planned to send him our column of last Wednesday which reported that Mayor Milton Slcinmetz of Gold Hill was appointed following Smith's "death"). For the purposes of correction, we should point out that Smith didn't go that far. He merely resigned. Pedestrians Urged To Wear Light Colored Clothing Phoenix Reduced hours of daylight bring special haz ards to pedestrians this time of year especially in areas where Improved street light ing it not available, Phoenix Chief of Police John Atchison pointed out today. Even in downtown areas, Atchison said, neon lights and other lights shining on wet pavement can make a pedes trian almost invisible to an approaching driver if the pe destrian is wearing dark-colored clothing. ' Atchison urged pedestri ans to light-up at night, wear ing something white or light colored so that an aulo's head lights can pick him nut In time for the driver to slop. The best advice any pedes trian ever will receive," At chison added, "is never to as sume that a driver will stop. The fact that the right-of-way belongs to pedestrians in crosswalks is small consola tion in the hospital." Chester Ayres lakes Over Service Station From J. R, Krupp Jr. Central Point Chester L.
