Regional Roundup

Mail Tribune Regional Editor ,
Today's column Is turned iover to our Central Point
correspondent, Mary Alice Brushe, who, after writing
about Crater High school activities for several months,
got a chance last month to tour the plant. The occasion
was the PTA's "Back to School Night.'' Don Miller,
activities director, was her guide:
"While the parents of the students were visiting
with the teachers of their children, I walked from room
to room with Don, down long lighted halls, through the
large immaculate kitchen, and the cafeteria, which can
easily accommodate six or seven hundred diners. He
explained that in all there were 37 rooms, not includ
ing the multi-purpose room, cafeteria or the wrestling
room.
"The library has more books than I could have ever
imagined, over 6.800 reference books, along with maps,
charts, and countless other materials needed to aid and
promote education. Helen Broadbeck, librarian, pointed
out the tape-recorder, record player and radio. All these
play an important part in this day's education program.
Two Divisions Offered
"Crater offers two major divisions in its curriculum,
academic and general. Both divisions require a mini
mum of twenty credits for graduation. However, the
general division is less rigid in its requirements in order
to provide an opportunity for students wishing to enter
business or a trade to broaden their work in their chosen
fields.
"The academic division is preparatory for more work
in college, university or other school and consequently
requires that a student meet college entrance require
ments. Each student must sign up for five subjects as a
minimum each year. Although six is permissable.
"Four languages are taught in the school: French,
Spanish, Latin and German, in addition, of course, to
English. Other subjects available to a student include:
band, chorus, girls' glee club, Vo-Ar, shop, home eco
nomics, arts and craft, journalism, bookkeeping, short
hand, typing, business machines and mechanical drawing.
"Band, under the direction of Norman Carothers,
consists of approximately 35 good musicians. 25 fair, and
J 5 trying. The music department has been in his care
for 10 years. The band plays at football half-times,
SOC homecoming. Grants Pass Boatnik parade, Mcdford
Pear Blossom parade and Portland's Rose parade. The
winter concert, Dec. 14, will be held in the multi-purpose
room, at Crater, and is free. Performing will be the
band, choir, Lavaliers and ensembles.
Select Group of Singers
"The Lavaliers are a select group of 25 singers who
perform at a professional level and are in constant
demand. At this time they are planning to produce
'Swinging High' in the new theater this spring. This
will be a stage show with a stage band in the Broad
way tradition.
"In preparation for the band's Portland Rose festival
trip, band leaders are asking each student to do his
'fare share' by working. Anyone wishing to have yard
work, car washing, baby sitting, house work, animal
grooming or airplane washing done, should call 664-1241
and leave his phone number. A Crater band member
will take the job.
"In the plant and animal room, Ogden Kellogg, biol
ogy teacher, has a room full of cupboards, all filled,
he says, with material useful to this interesting subject,
such as alligators, insects, plants and skunks (descentcd).
Kellogg refused to pose with Petunia, the skunk, so we
look a picture of her by herself, instead.
"All in all it was quite an interesting experience
for me, and the students are fortunate indeed to be able
to boast of such a handsome, well managed, modern
building." .. ,

Siskiyou County
Gets Radiological
Defense Kits
Y r e k a Siskiyou county
has been assigned a total of
43 new radiological defense
kits, and they were delivered
Nov. 9 to the Siskiyou Coun
ty Office of Civil Defense,
Civil Defense Director How
ard K. Cramer reported.
The kits, obtained through
the radiological division of
the California Disaster office,
will be placed at emergency
fallout monitoring stations
that are part of the local net
work to detect and report
fallout radiation that would
follow a nuclear attack.
"In order to qualify for
these instruments, which are
provided by the federal gov
ernment at no cost to the
county, we have trained two
civil defense monitors to op
crate and maintain each moni
toring station," Cramer said.
Each kit contains three
portable rate meters, two
pocket dosimeters, a dosi
meter charger, and two gas
masks. The gas masks will
protect monitors in areas
where biological and chemical
agents might be used.
The California potential for
dealing with radioactive haz
ards will be increased by a
total of 3,680 new instrument
kits, to be distributed
throughout the state to local
government agencies similar
to those in Siskiyou county.

tion. He said if a person knew
he had been contaminated by
fallout dust, he should get to
water as soon as possible and
bathe.
Even if the only water avail
able is in a mud puddle, one
can stir it, causing the dust i
particles to sink, and the wa
ter will then be safe for bath
ing. Edwards also pointed out
that meat animals are not
affected by radiation, that
they may be killed and eaten

99 Million Consumers Read a
Daily Newspaper Each Weekday
These readers make up the largest audience available to any advertiser in any
medium. A recent study of this national newspaper audience shows that it in
cludes 80 percent of all men and women over 21 . . . and 72 per cent of all teen
agers, age 15 and over. This huge and consistent readership can be depended
upon by advertisers because the daily newspaper is a habit with most people . . .
an established part of their everyday lives. For the national advertiser, this
amounts to almost the total market for a ny product. For the local advertiser, this
massive readership symbolizes the local reach of his own local newspaper - into
almost 9 out of 10 homes every day. No matter what the product or service an
advertiser wants to sell, more people can read about it in the pages of the daily
newspaper.
