Newspaper Page TextMONDAY, AUGUST 16. 1954 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE SEVEN It Happened This Way New Pine Creek Bjr IRVIN FABIS "Right now!" says local enthus iasm reaching the pop-off point on , this Important matter namely: that the New Pine Creek Rural Fire Protection District plan for immediate construction ot a new fire hall. A special Joint meeting has been called by Fire Chief Clarence Mc clain for next Monday night. Au cust 16 at 8 o'clock of the board of directors and the firemen and onv other local citizens interested. The purpose of this meeting shall be to decide definitely upon the type of building, the nature of the materials to be used, draw up plans for construction, take inven tory of available funds on hand and compute the total cost of con struction. The meeting will be held in the Warren Welch Veteran's He II. This course of action was de cided upon at a meeting of the firemen In the Vet's hall Ifist Mon day night, August 9. Considerable discussion ensued on what type of roof would be most suitable and most economical. The concensus of a flat top roof with a gentle slope to the back would be the most advisable. The fire chief said he would contact Dick Landruif, the Davis Creek fire chief and secure what Information he ccld on the fire hall there which is reputed to be first class. Others will investi gate the cost of pumice brick and report where the best and cheap est blocks can be obtained. The firemen have this premise upon which to proceed. They have the recorded deed to a lot. 26'-j x 192 feet, 9 Inches, which was do nated to the district by Mrs. Paye Keller Rose. It was donated with the understanding that upon said lot would be constructed a sub stantial building that would be a credit to the community. They have on hand about 100 6x8x12 pu mice bricks which were purchased some time ago at a reasonable fig ure (20 cents per' brick) from Frank Ross. The meeting Monday night fol lowed In the wake of a board meet ing held last Wednesday evening. Since we are now in the dreaded fire season the firemen accepted a suggestion from the board to take the fire truck on a series of prac tice runs one each week until every ranch residence In the dis trict hall has been covered. ,The purpose will be to see how soon the fire truck can arrive upon the scene and to remind each rancher of the .necessity to provide some sort of water supply with which to protect his home. Some water holes have already been established on the map now posted in the temporary firehouse in Alvln Butler's warehouse and ga rage. But these are not sufficiently adequate to provide the best rating for the district. Our present rating, recently received, is a national fire board rating of Class 9. For general comparison it is poor but far better than if we did not have an organized district. Our district, organized in 1949, is bounded on the south by the Oregon-California state line. It extends northerly to the north boundary of the Jim Snider ranch. The popula tion of the district is listed as 204. characterized as a stock rasing community with merchan tile facilities and a small resi dential section at New Pine Creek. There are no standard fire hy drants in the district. Some creeks, irrigation ditches and ponds are available for suction supply. The booster tank capacity of the the practice should be resumed for safely. lis makers recommend that for the best results over a long period of time It should be blown at least once each day. Henceforth, it no doubt will be blown each day at noon. Although we have no fire alarm telegraph system 25 per cent of the residents in the district have Iplanhnna ,nw!na XTn, nnlu nna telephone central' service supplies H'lfS, Timothy and Mike: the town on the Oregon 6ide and one on the California side. How ever, plans are working out so I I must beg the pardon of Jc.i I se's wife, Pearle, too, whom I've not seen since. She is president of the ladies auxiliary Instead of I Mrs. Myrtle Gentry as I inadvert- ently related. And it was these j two people, folks, who shouldered ' the responsibility of seeing that 1 ovpi-vthintr went .Off smOOthlV. Truly they are to be congratulated on their efforts. Chef Art Lenitelt is winning quite a name for himself as a barbecue specialist. Last, Friday evening he and his wife. Hilda, entertained a number of guesls at a tasty barbecue dinner. Invited guests were Mr. and Mrs. Lee Bernard. Mr. and Mrs. Ross Har ris of Willow Ranch, and childen, Mr. and Mrs. Garland Cundiff. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Haslett and son, Billy of Willow Ranch and Hilda's that an emergency fire call service will be connected to the Alvln But ler store and, residence as an ex tension of the farmer's line. This service is designed to provide a two line emergency call service for the farmers in the district in case of fire. In regard to structural conditions and hazards, the stale tire laws apply. There is no code in the district. However, of all new struc tures most of the property owners are being careful to install elec tricity in compliance with the state laws with the idea of securing the minimum insurance rating cost:. - The conflagration hazaid in the district Is mild due to the fact that most structures are located on large tracts of land with hardly any congestion. The buildings are prin cipally of frame except for the bus iness section where there are a few joisted masonry mercantile buildings and a motel of pumice brick construction. In order to bring our district up to standard the Oregon In surance rating bureau makes a few recommendations based upon standard fire protection require ments. These we must comply with in order to further reduce our insurance rating costs. They are: that all possibilities for water supply throughout the district be developed and made accessible for fire department use. These newly developed sources along with the natural sources are to be placed on the map and catalogued to show their location with the available amount of water during all seasons indi cated, as well as ingress and other pertinent data noted. Also that a tanker be provided for response to the district with at least a 1000 gallon capacity and with a pump thereon that will pump approximately 200 gallons per minute. These are improvement angles the fire board and the department are now working on so that the district can become standard with a lowered insurance rating. Truman Lawson has an old truck with a 100 gallon tank on it which is available to the de partment for temporary use or he will sell it at a reasonable fig ure. But the district has no avail able funds for such a purchase at this time. It will require con siderable jockeying of resources and plenty of donated labor to get the lire hall erected under the present setup. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Deal left last Thursday morning for a trip up through the Yellowstone Park, via Reno where they will visit rel atives, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Broiles. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Parnow of , Mountain View, California arrived j last. Rnfurrinv fnr n short visit I with Mr. and Mrs. Bill Allen. They were to have left Wednes day morning for their home. Mrs. Parnow is a niece of Bill Allen. The Keller Feed Mills have niece and nephew, Marian and Paul Brocard and Miss Carlene Scofield. It was sort of a farewell party for the girls too. They lef for their home in South Gate, Cal ifornia on Tuesday. But the party that capped the climax of all recent parties was held by the Willow Ranch firemen and the firettes who spent the en tire day last Sunday up at their picnic recluse in Lenkeit park. Chef Lenkeit had a hand in the preparation of much of the meat that was consumed. QUICKIES By Ken Reynolds "Let's look for vegetables in the libra Id and News Want Ads where there's no weeds!"

They told me they were paying for the leases and that as soon as sufficient acres have been leased, a thorough geological survey will be made on Goose Lake Valley. Okay! When do we start drilliir, Phil? Mrs. Vclma Newcomb returned last week from spending several days down at Pacific College In Stockton, where she attended folk dancing classes. "Many teach ers," she said, "were there taking summer school work. They, too. were taking these folk dancing lessons but for credits." It was terribly hot down there she said but that she had a great deal of fun.
