Public Road Bid Submitted YREKA A second petition has been filed with the Siskiyou Coun ty Board of Supervisors to have the John Ladd Chrome Mine road near Seiad taken into the county road system by eminent domain. Mrs. Dorothea Moroney, owner of the chrome mine, who had filed a previous petition in June, appeared before the board Tuesday with a new petition signed by 12 persons. The board referred the petition to the planning commission which meets September 7. Mrs. Moroney asked that the road be taken Into the county sys tem alter she was denied permis sion to use a portion of it on. land owned by Mr. and Mrs. George Burkhard of Berkeley who have a summer residence there. The road connects the mine with the Klam ath River highway near Seiad. The board had started condem nation proceedings on the first pe tition but dismissed the action be fore It got to court when it ap peared that the Burkhards and Mrs. Moroney might be able to agree on its use. They failed to come to terms, however, and Mrs. Moroney has renewed her eflorts to have the road condemned. Her petition states that the road Is the only route to a large deposit of chrome ore, to a forest recrea tion area, to timber land and to a large grazing area. She slated she has lost one year's production because the Burkhards refused to allow her trucks access to the mine. The road was built by the U.S. government during World War II as a chrome access road. How ever, at the end of the war, the road reverted back to the owners of the property it crosses. Mr. and Mrs. Burkhard are only one of sev eral owners of the road who ob ject to Mrs. Moroney's use of it. Gus Lampropulos, After 28 Years, Moves Grocery Store A boyhood dream In far olf Greece was realized 28 years later in Klamaih Falls by Gus Lam propulos, who now is making his biggest move since he left his na tive land. "Ever since I was a little boy in the old country I dreamed of having my own grocery store," related Gus. He got his wish In 1927 when he hnli?ht a amall buildine on the comer of Twelfth and Main: streets. This was the start of the Olympla Grocery, which is named after his birthplace in Greece. But Gus is moving now. He Is taking his canned goods and vege tables to a new location on Martin and Holly streets. A super service station is to be erected where Gus rang up his cash register for so many years. Gus will still be in familiar sur roundings, however, because he is not only moving his groceries, but also the building. In fact, Gus is quite happy about moving. "Now I have my own property, my own building, and lots of park ing space." he said. A few months ago, however. It had looked as if maybe Gus had property but no place to move. Alter he had acquired the lot he learned that It was located in a Class II residential zone, which means grocery stores are taboo. Gus took his problem to the city council one night in hopes of changing the status of the prop erly in question to that of a busi ness zone. The slow gears of legal machinery were set in motion, and today it looks as if the re-zoning will soon be effected. One-third of the Lampropulos store is already on the new prop erty. The long building Is being cut into three sections and moved by truck. Gus intends to do some remodeling when the moving is completed and probably reopen by October. In the meantime the Lamprop ulos home is stacked high with merchandise. Gus originally had intended to use part of his house at 207 East Main for the grocery business, but ligured that not enough parking was available. The Lampropulos dream of dealing with groceries was not realized for quite some time after he came to the united states from Greece In 1911. He was 18 years old at the time. He went to Sacramento then to live with his brother, and shortly thereafter came north to this area to work In the lumber mills. He spent 18 years In the mills before he became a grocer. His first store was in the pres ent "Super Cream" building (now moved) on Main Street. A lire in 1830 burned part of his establish ment and prompted him to move to an adjacent building, which was once a theater. It Is the same building that he is now moving to the new lot. Gus particularly likes his busi ness because ol the opportunity he has to meet so many people. "I have met lots of tourists who were coming through town," he said, "and have met people from all over the United States."

I had about $100 in my j pocket which I had taken from I another cash register. I threw it behind a stack of crackers." So the thieves only escaped with ! $25. . j The Lampropulos grocery busi- j ness has been a family affair for quite some time now. There are ! four children in the family and I all have helped out at one time or another. i Chris, 25. Is now married, but ! the three girls, Cleo. 27; Athena, 22, and Dena, 19, still work in the store now and then. A bright future in music is forseen for Athena, who has at tended the University of Wash ington the past four years. Her goal is to become an opera singer, and she is also arf accomplished violinist. Dena Is a pianist and singer as well and will be In .her second year at Willamette Uni versity. Both have studied music since they were little girls. Papa, Lampropulos is quite hsppy over the musical talents of his children. He was a vocalist himself back in Greece, and is fond of music. His major concern now, however. Is to reopen the Olympla Grocery, which hadn't been closed for 28 years. Gus certainly has no in tention of allowing it to stay closed. In the meantime he Is enjoying somewhat of a vacation. "I haven't been off more than two months in the 28 years I have had the atore," he revealed. That adds up to less than two days per year. Maybe Gus has earned a vacation.
