Siskiyou Shrine President Reports On Conference Siskiyou County-Ben Bisag no, president of the Siskiyou County Shrine club, recently returned from a meeting in Sacramento called by Charles E. Dcsenfants, Potentate of the Ben Ali Temple. Officers of Shrine clubs in 21 California counties attend ed a series of briefing lec tures, at which procedures re garding the operation of the clubs was discussed. Desenfants, under whose supervision the classes were conducted, was recently elect ed and installed as Potentate of Ben All. The Shrine Temple covers 23 counties and represents a membership of more than 0,000. The proposed new Shrine program for children's burn hospitals was discussed. Bl sagno was informed that some medical authorities call burns the largest single hazard of childhood. He was advised that an expenditure of up to $10 million has been approved by the Imperial Council for the construction of three hos pitals to treat burns. The new Shrine hospitals, according to Ben Bisagno, will be equipped and staffed to save children's lives and pre vent deformities, disabilities and disfigurements that often result from severe burns. They would offer the highest type of preventative ortho pedics. Bisagno declared that the new institution would not con flict with the present Shriners hospitals for crippled children which have been established since 1922 and have treated 12S.000 children at an ex penditure of more than $73 million. Regional Roundup by Clave Twikhtll Mail Tribune Regional Editor Abominal snowman type creatures are still being spotted In California these days. We heard about the latest one In a rather roundabout manner. We received a clipping from a newspaper in New Jersey, which pub lished a story datelined Sonora, Calif. Sonora is in cen tral eastern California, only about 400 miles from Med ford, but the story came to us via New Jersey. Part of the story reads like this: "Reports of a scream ing, 10-foot monster sent a sheriff's posse into the moun tains yesterday looking for a burglar and a bear. The monster reports started Sunday when a man phoned the sheriffs office saying he'd seen the most horrible thing, a human-like creature standing 9 to 10 feet. Then fol lowed reports of weird screaming. Three sheriff's offi cers heard the screeching yesterday when they went into the area 35 miles east of Sonora between Long Bara and Pine Crest." The story goes on to say that one of the officers found a 14-inch footprint In light snow, but it was the print of a man's boot. A very unsporting undersheriff was quoted to the effect that he thought the 10-foot monster was probably a bear standing up and that the screaming was nothing more than a mountain lion screech. That's like those unsporting persons who claim that reported spaceship landings were misinterpreta tions of flocks of geese or 200-watt lightbulbs on the side of a nearby barn. All of this reminds us Ilia t one of these days we want to get over to visit an acquaintance of ours in Talent who has some movie film he shot of a large footprint down in the Happy Camp area. Happy Camp is a nice trot from Sonora, but maybe there's a whole family of these fellows running around. Those California License Plates If all the new California license plates on cars in the Yreka area seem to look pretty much the same to you, don't worry about it. They are. California issued brand new plates for all cars this year for the first time since the mid-fifties. Unlike Ore gon's system of auto registration expiring in the same month as it was purchased the year before, registrations of all California vehicles expire on the same date. And so when the new plates were issued this year, the Yreka office of the motor vehicles department apparently re ceived a batch all starting with "AV." If you drive around the streets of town you'll see virtually nothing but AVE, AVF, AVG, AVH, AVJ AVK and AVL.

"Electricity helped us build our home, and now it helps us live a wonderful, comfortable life" "Electric power tools made building our new home easier and helped us do the job the way we wanted. Naturally, we included all the latest electric conveni ences from a dishwasher to outdoor lighting. All-electric living is really a blessing when you have a growing family. I count on electric helpers for cooking, washing, water heating and nearly every household job there is. It's the hardest-working service I know of and is cer tainly our biggest value." Thousands of other Pacific Tower & Light customers, like Mrs. Mason and her family, live better because they make generous and effective use of modern electric sen ice.
