Siskiyou Residents Entertain Foreign Students in Homes By DORIS ROBINSON and CHARLOTTE DAVIS Mall Tribune Correspondents Yreka-A large number of Siskiyou county residents, most of them members of the Yrcka and Montague Rotary clubs, did their part to creHte international undcrstan ding when they entertained 40 for eign students one week end recently. The students were all from the University of California al Berkeley, and they were accompanied here by Mrs. Irene Prcscott, director of public relations at the Inter national House on the UC campus. All parts of the world were represented, from Australia to Fuilaiiu. from the Soviet Un ion to Mexico, from Ituly '.o Nigeria and Egypt, as the stu dents came to receive the hos pitality of friendly American families and in turn charm the local residents. That the barrier of langu age is nothing to people who wish to learn about each other was evidenced from the warm welcome given the visitors as they arrived by bus, on through to the reluctant part ings as they again bumck-d their bus to depart. All races, languages and in terests were represented the fine group of graduate stu dents who came to be aiming i own country. try roads. Many were enter tained by family group din ners and in turn showed pic tures of their homeland and asked and answered many questions. A total of 305 Rotnrians, their wives, guests and the foreign students attended a banquet at Winema hall at the Siskiyou County fair grounds. This number includ ed three foreign students who arc attending Siskiyou coun ty high schools and living in this area this year. The banquet 's an integral part of the annual foreign stu- , dent visit here. Mis. Pr envoi I acted as mis tress of ceremonies for I lie evening. She sat at the head table with Dr. Tom Preerr, president of the Yrcka Ro tary dub, his wife aiui their IMH'sl., and Turn DirkiiiAon, president of the Monlugue Rotary club and his wife and their student guest. Mrs. Prescott called the students by groups to the platform where they sang songs, recited poems or danced. One of the highlights of the evening was an ail by four Japanese students who sang Japanese words to the tune of Clementine. Each stu dent're.sponded by song, ilfliue or reading to represent Ins Recent action of the Rogue Basin Flood Control and Water Resources association. seeking an appropriation of approximately $115,000 to hasten the work on the Rogue Basin project, was endorsed by the Medford Chamber of Commerce board of directors at the breakfast session at the Rogue Valley Country club. The endorsement was asked by Gerald Latham who said that two new features of the project are supplemental water for Bear Creek and mu nicipal water storage in the Applegate dam. The board authorized Man ager Don McNeil to write the Oregon delegation in Wash ington, D.C., informing them of the board's endorsement of the association's rcoucst.

The committee has urged defeat of the measure, now be fore the Oregon legislature, because of Its discriminatory, characteristics, it was empha sized al the breakfast. The committee and the chamber board are not opposed to Sun day closing, the members stated, but to the particular legislation. Frank Van Dyke, represent ing tile "Citizens Committee for Consolidation," urged the board members to vole "yes" im the school consolidation to "give equal educational op portunity to all students, for sound economy and for the orderly growth and progress of the entire community." Submitted to Vote Consolidation of School District 4 (Phoenix) and 5li)C (Meilfordl will be submitted to a vote of the people Mon day Van Dyke asked his aud ience to give consideration In the educational standards of tiie two school systems.

Medford, he slated, rntcs among the highest high schools in 1 tie nation, above 08 per cent. The elementary grades in District 4 are in good standing, Van Dyke to'd tile chamber board, but the junior high and senior high would be ma terially upgraded by consoli dation. The atlorney criticized the purchase of properly on Ar- gonne ave. by District 4 for an elementary school adjacent to Mcriford's Hoover school. He said Hoover school was more than adequate to serve the particular area. Building Permit Value Rises in Grants Pass Grants Pass - Building per mits issued in January by the city of Grants Pass totaled $172,300 in estimated con struction cost, more than 2 'i times the amount issued dur ing the same month last year, when permits totaled Sb'4,G50. The largest single permit was for a $30,000 addition to the Laurel Hill Nursing home. Eleven of the 19 permits issued were for new residen tial construction totaling By United Press International Gov. Edmund G. Brown asked the Legislature to ap prove a narrowly balanced "austerity" budget of $3.2 bil lion to operate the state in fiscal 1963-64. Democrats generally ap plauded the governor's spend ing program, but Republicans assailed it for lack of econ omy. The governor conceded it was the largest state budget in the history of the United States. But he said "every budget in the foreseeable fu ture of California will either set a new record or ignore the minimum annual require ments of our astounding growth." In the first budget of his second term, the Democratic governor of the nation's most populous state asked the law makers to approve a pay-as-you-go income tax system starting July 1, 1964. The recommendation promised to be one of the most contro versial issues of the current session. Elsewhere, there were these developments: Douglas: Douglas Aircraft company, builders of the can celed Skyboll missiles, said it will lay off about 1,700 more employees. The an nouncement in Santa Monica followed a statement by the Air Force in Washington that it was halting all research and development work on the Skybolt program. Some 2,000 already have been laid off. The Skybolt project origin ally employed 6,000 persons. Strikes: Steelworkers walk ed off their jobs at the U.S. Steel Corp., Columbis-Geneva plant in Pittsburg, Calif. Meanwhile, in another labor dispute, a federal mediation board worked on borrowed time to avert a strike against Southern Pacific Railroad. The 2,000 steelworkers vot ed to remain off the job until they were assured "the griev ance procedure will function properly." The walkout came as a surprise, shutting down production in the huge plant. The 11,000-member railway clerks union, which claimed support of 39,000 other SP employ ees, originally was scheduled to stop work al midnight Wednesday. The walkout threatened operations in seven western states. Fire: A spark from a weld er's torch touched off an esti mated one-quarter-million dol lar blaze in Burbank at sound stage 6 of Warner Bros. Stu dio. No injuries were re ported. Dimaggio: Joe Dimaggio, former New York Yankee baseball great, was named in a $30,000 damage suit charg ing him with issuing a bad check. The suit was filed by Sherman Harris, owner of a steak house in Palm Springs. Murder Trial: The San Francisco Bay Area's two sen sational murder trials - the Kroeger one in San Francisco and the De Kaplany in San Jose - continued to excite great interest. Geza de Kaplany's lawyers sought to prove that he suf fers from acute schezophrenia and that his alter ego, Pierre La Roche, had taken charge of his body when he poured acid over the nude body of his bride last Aug. 28. The trial of accused double murderess Iva Kroeger con tinued in San Francisco with frequent disruptions in the proceedings. Mrs. Kroeger, who was on trial with her husband, Ralph, 61, several times bolted from her chair in verbal attacks at prosecu- Eight Children Die in House Fire Toronto. Ont. - (UPfi - Eight children died Friday in a fire lhat destroyed their two-story attached home in the city's West End. The victims, children of Roy French, 36, and his wife, Effie, 35, were identified as Ann, 17, Albert, 16, Eileen, 14, Alison, 12, John, 10, Linda, 8, Sharon, 6, and Bill. 4. Their parents were taken to a hospital suffering from shock. French was unable to rescue any of his children when the fire started about 1 a.m. The mother returned home from work to find her home destroyed and children dead.

The students were guests in the homes of Hotarians during their visit, affording them an opportunity to see how rural America lives and what Amer ican homes are like. The project also affords American families a chance to get acquainted with the ways of the foreign student and learn something of his country and family life.

She was re strained by matrons and her attorney, but sometimes had to be taken to a holding cell near the courtroom to calm down. Housing: Mayor George Christopher of San Francisco announced the city was con ducting an investigation into what happened to some $9 million in funds belonging to the community's public hous ing authority. Christopher, who said there was no real indication of fraud, said some of the expenses of the housing authority appeared unreason able. Postmaster: Leslie N. Shaw, 40, was nominated to become the first Negro postmaster of Los Angeles. The savings and loan executive was the unani mous choice of California's Democratic delegation to Con gress on the second ballot. A congressional nomination is usually tantamount to ap pointment, although it is sub ject to formal confirmation by the U. S. Senate. Telephone: An effort to halt the Pacific Telephone com pany's drive for all-digit dial ing was sidetracked when the State Public Utilities com mission refused to issue an order preventing publication of the Northwestern Section Telephone directory of Los Angeles county containing all number listings. The restrain ing order had been requested by several groups and indi viduals who are fighting for the old prefix system. Weather: Floods from the previous week's storm subsid ed in northern and central California as flood control of ficials warned that without dams constructed in recent years damage would have been much more severe. The rain gave way to the warmest early February temperatures in California history. In southern California, ocean waves pounded beachfront homes at Surfside, Sunset and Capistrano. Crash: A Slick Airlines car go plane crash landed at San Francisco International air port. Four of the eight persons aboard were burned to death, while the others escaped with minor injuries. It was the first commercial airline crash at the airport in 25 years.
