' The diversion authorization Issued by the Berkeley office of the fruit and vegetable branch of PMA provides for diversion of both cellar-run and No. 2 potatoes. No. 2 potatoes in mixtures with oeewees and culls may be diverted under specification A which orovides a 70 cent per hundredweight diversion payment to C . N 2 and No. 1. size B potatoes contained in mixtures delivered at the plant Poundage of culls will be taken pur- 100 by the plant as a simple chase at 50 cents per pounds. Cellar-run potatoes are di verted to starch and glucose under specification "D" which provides certain rates of pay ment on 90 per cent of the to tal weight delivered. The payment rate to grow ers for potatoes grading 50 to 5? per cent U. S. No. 1 ii $1.33 per cwt. For potatoes grading 60 to 69 per cent U. 5. No. 1 the rate is $1.47. For potatoes grading 70 per cent or more U. S. No. 1 the rate is $1.59. These rates are paid on 90 per cent of total weight delivered. Ten per cent of the weight is assumed to be culls and wlll t.. takon hv the- nlant at 50 cents per cwt. The rates given for starch and glucose diversion provide grow ers the support prices quoted for "bulk loaded potatoes at the farmer's gate." These are $1.80 for No. l's and 65 centi for No. I's. Starch plant management is working on provisions for haul , tag to Hatfield. Diversion to starch and glu cose, diversion to livestock feed, direct purchase of graded potatoes in limited amounts for state Institutioni and the school lunch program, and provisions for dumping potatoes that are going bad comprise all the gov ernment programs available for disposal of potatoes at support The feed diversion program is beinw exDanded by tne provi- sion under which freight costs --to other areas will be paid by the government up to 20 per cent- ner 100 required to be paid for stock feed potatoes. Feeders in other areas may ahtain Klamath potatoes deliv ered at their station for 20 cents per cwt. or the freight charce ner cwt.. whichever is greater. It is anticipated that as many as 100,000 sacks of Klamath notatoes will be diverted to tnrk fped. I Growers are protected against loss by deterioration. When po tatoes offered to commodity credit corporation are not tak en within 20 days growers may request inspection which will serve as the basis for final set tlement Grain Rate Talked Here The current milling in transit rate on grain was discussed, at a meeting held Monday after noon at the chamber of com merce, with the object of oppos ing its proposed cancellation. The present rate on milling in transit of grain shipped from Idaho, via Klamath Falls to Cali fornia is very favorable and would be hard to re-establish once it was cancelled, according to interested concerns. Since there is no milling here now the railroad is considering cancelling tne rate. With the possibility that a mill may again be in operation here. it 19 advantageous to maintain the present rate. E. H. Thompson chairman of the industrial committee of the chamber of commerce. George P. Uavis, president of tne Klam ath Basin rates bureau, A. M. Collier an interested shipper. Paul D. Taylor manager of the rates bureau, John Houston pres ident and Charles R. Stark man ager of the chamber of com merce, were present at the meet ing.

By HAL BOYLE ASPEN, Colo., Jan. 14 W A Chicago Industrialist is suend 1ns $1,000,000 to reconvert this decayed boom silver mining vil lage into a Victorian "Aniens oi the Rockies." The idea of restoring Asucn originated with Walter Paepcko, board chairman of the container Corporation of America, who wants to create a type of com munity he believes is all too rare in this country. "In America," he said, "people work hard to earn their living in their own home town, rush off to Miami for their recreation and turn to New York or Boston for their culture. "There are too few communi ties which offer good opportuni ties for combining work, play and culture." So Paepcke and fellow wealthy enthusiasts set about rebuilding -dilapidated Aspen into an ideal town where peoplo could "live a happier and more complete life. "You can do that in a small community," said Paepcke. "You can chanae its skyline in eight months. I am interested in a de sign for living. Id like to see this a place where one could live as complete a life as is possible in the best towns of England, Austria or other European coun tries." He and other stockholders in the development corporation including Sterling and Godfrey Rockefeller have financed erec tion of a $250,000 ski chair lift. Other funds have gone into re storing and preserving Aspen's gingerbread architecture to keep alive its Victorian flavor. To get the cooperation of old settlers the corporation's plan ning staff offered to distribute free paint in colors it desired. in less tnan a year tne oio vil lage has increased its 700 popula tion to 1200 and Paepcke hopes in time it will grow to a com munity of four or five thousand Friendly Helpfulness To Creed Every Ward's Klamath Funeral Home Marguerite M.

Back ers of the Aspen revival doiiovo they have found a pattern for the rejuvenation of other dying Colorado mountain mining vil lages into winter and summer sports centers. "But I'm interested sociologi cally In providing more than a nlace for movie slars to ski," said Paepcke. "I would like to set us avoid the tourist tripper who litters the scenery with orango iwiin0 and sardine cans."

They can't quite see that a ski chair lift Is progress. They like to Joke about one wealthy newcomer who went to great expense reclaiming one pic turesque old mansion that en thralled him. Then he moved In with his family. No one bothered to tell him that the place in the old days had been a notorious house of 111 repute.
