Newspaper Page TextJL Regional Roundup by Clave Tw'.tchell Mail Triburw Regional Editor Happy Camp is making news again. About a month ago, John Sugdcn, superintendent ' of the Happy Camp Union Elementary School district, publicly took California State Superintendent of Public Instruction Max Raffcrty to task over a letter Rafferty had sent to all school board presidents in the state. Sugden's letter got quite a bit of publicity in California and southern Oregon. Last Thursday the town figured prominently in a Wall Street Journal story concerning the problems of the federal Area Redevelopment administration. A por tion of the story follow: "At Happy Camp, a small lumbering town on the Klamath river in northern California, the reopening of a plywood veneer mill last year after a three-month cloaedown provoked some unhappy protests. "The objections came from competing mill owners, who had been relieved to have one less competitor sharing a business in which fierce competition hud driven prices down 14 in two years. However, their displeasure was not so much aimed at Josephine Ply wood CO., the firm which purchased and reopened the mill, as at a federal agency which loaned the new owners S325.000, or 68 of the purchase price, at 4 interest. The other mill owners charged that the federal aid helped a competitor at their expense; the government replies that ita primary interest was in restoring 40 jobs that had been lost when the mill closed. "The agency under fire at Happy Camp is the Area Redevelopment administration (ARA), a commerce de partment branch created and granted a four-year life by Congress In May, 1961. Conceived as a major weapon of New Frontier economic policy, ARA's primary mis sion is to channel federal funds, in the form of loans and grants, into public and private ventures that would create Jobs In chronically depressed areas." The article went on to report that the ARA has classified 996 areas as "depressed" (Josephine and Siski you countiei are among them) and approved loans and grants totalling 84.t million, creating an estimated 35,000 Jobs directly and another 20,000 Jobs In related industries. It then explored some of the unfavorable response the program has received, noting that some areas objected to being called "depressed." Some of the most violent complaints, the article said, have come from businessmen like those at Happy Camp ,who ob jected to being, so-to-speak, forced to compete with firms created primarily with tax money. We suspect one of the principal reasons Happy Camp was picked for the prominent role in the Journal's story was that it provided perfect material for one of the headlines used: "Unhappiness In Happy Camp." 26 Candidates Vie For King fir Queen Of Skimming Low Illinois Valley Photos of candidates for the king and queen of the annual Illinois Valley Lions club Skimming Low program have been placed in business places of the area so that the public may cast votes The program will be held at Illnois Valley High school Thursday and Friday, April 18 and 19, during which lime the winners will be an nounced.
