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.

"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
