10 A MONDAY, JANUARY 28. 1963 MEDTOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Montague Club Hears Talk Against Siskiyou ARA Loan By CHARLOTTE DAVIS Mail Tribune Correspondent Montague - Members ol the Montague Rotary club recent ly heard a presentation it the arguments in opposition to the proposed federal A'ea Re development adminlstrat i o n loan to Siskiyou Hardwood company at Yreka. Gerhari Bendix, secretary of the Hi-Ridge Lumber com pany of Seiad Valley and Montague, addressed the club. Previously the clu' heard a talk by A. J. McMurry, chairman of the Siskiyou County Economic commission, speaking in favor of t.ie pro posed hardwood plant at Yreka. If granted, the $4,300,000 ARA loan would finance half of the cost of establishing a hardwood plant at Yreka. Pro ponents of the project feel it would create numerous new jobs in the Yreka area. Bendix, in his opposition, explained that although he is a sawmill operator, he is just as interested in the economic well being of the county and the soundness of its tax base as any other business man in the area. He went on, "No one can argue the point that spending $8,000,000 will be a powerful, one shot boost to the jcon omy. But let us further see how this money will be spent. "1. Part of it, to purchase an existing sawmill (the pres ent Eastlick Mill, ne mile east of Yreka). This will cre ate not one single additional Regional News Hornbrook Youngsters, Parents Hold Meeting To Organize Local 4-H Club By KATHERINE CHAPMAN Mail Tribune Correspondent Hornbrook A meeting of young people and their par ents was held Thursday even ing at the Grange hall for the purpose of organizing a local 4-H club. The meting was conducted by Bill Ruddiman of the Farm Advisor's office in Yreka. He was assisted by Penny Bar num of Hornbrook, who, as a long-time member of the Willow Creek 4-H club, has attained the rank of gold star member, one of the highest honors given by the club. Miss Barnum, a sophomore student at Southern Oregon college in Ashland, has agreed to assume the job of junior leader in the proposed new club, and as such, will have supervision over the entire club. Matt Madison and Mrs. Marion (Elva) Grieb have been chosen heads of the com munity club. Ruddiman explained to the Happy Camp Garage Gutted by Fire Happy Camp The garage at the back of a house being rented by Mr. and Mrs. Carl Pasley was gutted by an early morning fire here recently. According to Pasley, it was through the efforts of the Hap py Camp Volunteer Fire de partment and the resident dep uty sheriff that the house was saved. The back porch of the house is only about six feet from the end of the garage and without the well organ ized fire fighting unit here in Happy Camp, according to Pasley, they might have lost a lot more. The two cars were in the garage but were moved from danger. Lost in the fire was a deep-freezer full of meat, tools and electrical supplies, a new cook stove, plus furni ture of a spare bedroom that was at one end of the garage. The house and garage are owned by Mr. and Mrs. Bob Weinzlngcr of Ilynmpom. The cause of the fire or lc amount of damage had nut been de termined, according to Pasley. assembled group the mean ing of the 4-Hs Heart-Hand Head and Health, and, led by him and Miss Barnum, all re pealed the 4-H oath together. The alms and purpose of the 4-H movement were ex plained, as well as the part the parents play in the suc cess or failure of the venture. A lively question and ans wer period followed in which the following points were brought out: 1. That for the youngsters first year in 4-H, only one pro ject should be taken, and the member is expected to com plete the project. 2. That each club is judged partly on the number of pro jects completed, so it is very important, not only to the in dividual, but also to the group, that every project un dertaken be completed. 3. That the club and its ac tivities are conducted by the members, with the commun ity club leaders acting only in an advisory or counselling capacity. 4. That transportation to and from the meetings is the responsibility of the parents. The meeting was then turned over to Mrs. Grieb, and a time for the future meetings was agreed upon us the sec ond Monday of each month at 7:30 at the Grange hall. A total of 26 youngsters signed up for a variety of projects. Works by Prospect Artisis To Be Shown At Riverview Cafe Prospect - The Prospect Art Club met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ilalavcr Gar den, Jan. 8. The Art club has 12 members.

The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Em mot Tucker, Sr. in Prospect, Feb. 12, starting at 7:30 p.m. frrjk i dmi i TO APPEAR WEDNESDAY The Rev.

The Gaub family play a variety of instruments. Appealing with them will he the Kay Hutchinson family, who will sing during the service. job and merely transfers employment. "2. The construction and operation of a plywood glue- up plant. As proposed, no use of local timber is foreseen, and we are told the applicant proposes the laying up of purchased hardwood veneers. There is no difference in the manufacture of hardwood or softwood plywood, and even hardwood plywood uses soft wood for all the layers except the outside facings. We con tend that applicant would soon find it practical to also manufacture his own soft wood veneer by establishing a green end veneer plant peel ing local ligs. "3. Building of a particle board plant. No controversy here, as all the raw materials for this phase of the operation would readily be availble from mills in this area. But such pants are highly auto mated and provide a mini mum of employment. Question Wisdom "As a citizen and taxpayer I question the wisdom of in vesting millions of dollars in a venture such as proposed. A loan of public funics to fi nance 50 per cent of the pro posed capitalization is fore seen. '"I am not alone in such concern, as people in the busi ness of lending have refused to loan their money. Banks have refused to loan Siskiyou Hardwood Company the funds, or in other words the lending institutions have felt the use of their depositor's money in the proposed ven ture a risk they could not lake. "Only after the federal gov ernment does provide 50 per cent of the financing will banks come in and provide 35 per cent of the money. Under A R A. regulations, for providing 35 per cent of the capital the participating banks will receive a first mortgage on the entire prop erty, while Uncle Sam will lake a second mortgage for his 50 per cent slice, without any personal guarantee of re payment by the borrowers. No Pledge "While this is completely within existing regulations of the ARA act, it still does not look good to me as a business procecdure. When you and I loan money, we personally guarantee repayment. In the pending application, no per sonal pledge of repayment is made. "This proposal docs not pro vide the county with a more diversified base of employ ment, Bendix concluded. "Op eration of the applicant, with exception of a particle board plant, will merely result in a shift of employment from cur rent operations. It will not diversify the area's economy, as is Ihe contention of the sup porters of the proposed de velopment, as it will compete and clash with existing industry." N.

The program of Dr. Max Rafferty, Californias new state superintendent of public instruction, who assumed office at the beginning of this month, bears some watch ing. Shortly after officially taking over the reins of the job, Dr. Rafferty proposed an end to what he termed the "progressive education, John Dewey philosophy" which he said has been responsible for "pablumized" learning. Dr. Rafferty defeated Dr. Ralph Richardson last November after an election campaign which to many observers appeared to pit a liberal type of educator against a conservative type In a sort of classic battle. Actually neither candidate could really be labeled as one type or the other, but they did disagree on many points, and their numerous debates during the campaign attracted some national attention. In an interview earlier this month during which Dr. Rafferty outlined some of his proposals, he said he was concerned with the content of courses rather than the method with which they were taught. "Knowledge," he was quoted as saying in a recent New York Times story, "is the only thing that stands between national survival and destruction." He was especially critical of present teaching of reading in California's first, second and third grades. "We need more glamor and suspense back in the readers," the Times article quoted him as saying' "The kids are tough little creatures. They lean to read not because their parents or teachers want them to but be cause they are interested enough to go on to the next page. They used to read excitedly about Hansel and Gretel pushing their grandma into the oven but the kids didn't go around afterwards pushing their own grand mothers into the oven." Dr. Rafferty was also critical of fifth grade American history as it is presently taught in California, comment ing, "I can't recommend a single fifth grade American History text. They talk of the wives of pioneers making linsey-woolsey dresses and men chopping down trees, but they omit trivial things like the Monroe Doctrine. They are not subversive but childish. A fifth-grader de serves something better. "The publishing houses have been brainwashed for years by curriculum experts and state superintendents in the social studies field." The Weather Again Bertha Hanscom, our Phoenix correspondent, is just as glad she lives in Oregon, after seeing a newspaper clipping sent to her by friends in Maine. A photograph in the newspaper, from Belfast, Me., shows a man digging out from under a 12-foot snow drift. It snowed from Dec. 29 to Jan. 2, Bertha reports. Her friends had to stay up nights to keep their three stoves going in order to keep warm. A Problem Is Solved Priscilla Averill, our Grants Pass correspondent, in forms us that she has reached a compromise agreement with the state police over whether Medford is south or cast of Grants Pass. Hereafter an accident on Inter state 5 or Highway 99 between Grants Pass and Med ford will occur "x miles EAST of Grants Pass on High way 99 SOUTH." Virgil Cade Honored With Retirement Dinner Yreka The Lamplighter restaurant in Mount Shasta was the scene of a recent re tirment dinner for Virgil B. Cade, Division of Highways employee, MM2, who retired Jan. 1 of this year. Master of ceremonies was P. O. Hughes, who spoke of Cade's life and years of serv ice with the state. The honoree was born in White Heath, 111. and as a young man worked at well drilling as a contractor. In 1928 he brought his family to California. Before working for the Di vision of Highways in 1937, he worked as a locomotive fireman for the Yuba Con struction company and for the Bureau of Public Roads.

A large group of citizens turned out to welcome them into the community during their open house celebrations Saturday and a large basket of chrysanthemums and glad ioli were presented them bv the Town and Country Food Lockers of Eagle Point. employees in the Yreka terri tory.
