Supervisor Hits County Age Home YREKA The Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors last week heard a report from Supervisor W. A. Burr (Mount Shastal that It costs the county more than $400 a month to care for old persons at the county home for the aged, while It would cost about $160 per month if they had been placed at private homes. Barr. a long time opponent of tho proposed new home for the aged slated to be built at the county hospital, said that the new unit would merely be an addition to the present hospital. Even If the building should be constructed, he said, there still would he no place for old persons not requiring hos pital care. Barr said that when the annex Is completed, the county hospital, located In Vreku would give the county 176 beds while statistics show the county needs only 120 beds. He admitted that the Yroka area needs a hospital, but said that It should be operated locally, and not by the county. There are three other hospitals In the county. The MeCloud Hos pital and the Weed Hospital are operated respectively by the MrCloud River Lumber Company and the Long-Boll Lumber Com pany. The third is a privately owned osteopathic hospital at Mount Shasta. Southern Pacitto em ployes from Dunsmuir are eligible to use R P. hospital facilities out of tho county. NOW .... flues It was just like the one Im mortalized by Longfellow only there was no spreading chestnut tree. "My grandparents on my moth er's side, Maldorn and Julia Oben ohaln, were early settlers in Jack sonville, Oregon." Mrs. Klttredge explained. "I had a great great grandmother who crossed the plains in a covered wagon. She is hurled In Ashland. After she was graduated from Klamath Union High School, Mrs. Klttredge went to work for Bal slger Motor Co. When she left that firm In 1931 to marry Klttredge, she was secretary to Vern Moore, manager of the motor company. LIKES POLITICS Now that her ranch duties have been taken over by others and she lives in Klamath Falls, Mrs. Klttredge has gone in for politics in a big way. She says she is Interested In politics both as a science and a vocation. "I first became interested In pol itics," she said, "when Oscar and I were living on the ranch In Lake County. In tliose days former Sen ator Ouy Cordon, and the late Gov. ernor Earl Snell were frequent vis itors at our place. In the evenings when we sat around the fireplace for hours, the topic of conversa tion was always politics. "Although I have never been In volved in politics any more than being a school board clerk in Adel, a precinct committee woman and vice chairman of the Republican County Central Committee, I have become addicted. Now that I have the opportunity, I would like to de vole as much time as possible to public service." The Klttredges have three chil dren. One son. Bill 33.
