'1 1 , A!i', Redding Firm Wilis Bid For Yreka Vork The Division of Highways has opened bids upon the improvement of a section of Highway 69 just couth of Yreka in Siskiyou County. Monty w. Brown of Redding ubmitted the low bid of $561,411. This contract will start at a point 4.7 miles south of Yreka and the north end will be at Oberlin Road. Almost all of this construction will be on new location. The align ment will be much straighter. In place of the It curves on the pres ent road, one with a 250 foot ra dius, there will be Just four on the finished road. The least radius Farm Vote Frets Burdick WASHINGTON liH Rep. Bur dick (R-ND) reports there are ele ments of an uprising in several Western states over the farm is sue and he predicts farmers "are day that Secretary of Agriculture going to vote anti-Republican." He said in a news letter Wednes Benson made it a point to fan up opposition to parity prices by talking to consumers of the East and creating public sentiment against farmers. "At first, I was inclined to sin gle out Mr. Benson as the one to blame," Burdick wrote, "but by the 'recent declarations of the President and many members of the Cabinet I see all are squarely behind. Benson. "The farmers who are feeling the effects of the Benson philoso phy in loss of value of their farm efforts in continually sinking farm prices, and the corresponding rise in the cost of what the farmer has to buy, are left with no other al ternative ' than to turn away from the Republican party." The North Dakota congressman favors a return to 00 per cent price supports for basic crops and is against the administration's flexible support system. Burdick said another . thing which has, stirred up farmers to the West Is the public power ques tion. "Unfortunate deals like the tide lands oil and the Dixon-Yates con tract have convinced the users of public power hat the Republican leaders are unsvmnathetic to nub. lie power and would like to have private companies handle the mat ter," he said. "Every user of REA power is duoious about the Re - publican administration.", i Federal Job Vacancies Told i '; The U.S. 'Civil Service Commis sion has announced new examina tions -for filling the following posi tions: prison mechanical supervis or (operating engineer); paving $4,080 . and $4,525 a year, in vari ous federal penal and correction al institutions located throughout the United States; savings and loan examiner, paying $4,525 and -$5,440 a year, in the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Joyiene Goerges was master of ceremonies. Mr. Kaup, KFJH priucipnl, awarded pins to the 16 members oi tne Honor Society. The Rev. Kent Spaulding of the Klamath Lutheran Church spoke to the students about Thanksgiv ing. This was followed by conv munlty singing of hymns under the direction oi Miss Lobaugn. The students are having a vara tlon from school on Thursday and Friday because of Thanksgiving va cation, i COLl'MBIA FLOODS BARRANQUILLE, Colombia . .Red Cross. Navy and Air Force rescue teams worked Thursday to aid more than 15.000 persons driven .from their homes by the flooded Magdalena River. Seven teen towns along the lower stretch of the 850-mlle-long stream were under water. O People Read SPOT ADS -you ore. of these four curves will be 4,000 feet. Generally, the new location will be to the west of the present toad, although in order to rectifv the alignment it cuts off a loop near the south end and one near the north end. The cross section of the Improve ment will provide two driving lanes each 12 feet wide with eight foot paved shoulders on either side. The advantage of this wide shoulder is that it provides a space for a disabled vehicle to park and gives an area for maneuvering for the moving ' traffic. Past experience indicates' this reduces accidents and is the jmost satisfactory de ns", i .- - , ' As this section is located on the Interstate Highway and is a free way that will eventually be wid ened to provide a four lane di vided highway, the right of way has been secured wide enough to take care of future needs when the four lane divided improvement becomes necessary. The two lanes being constructed under the pres ent cantract will eventually be the south bound lanes of the completed improvement. . . A channelized intersection Is pro vided for the intersection of the road to Fort Jones. The old highway was built In 1919. It had a gravel base, from three to six inches in thickness and a bituminous surface about 20 feet wide. Since that, time, in crements of road mixed or plant mix surlacing have been added from time to lime. Some of this was done by contract and some by state maintenance forces.. Considering the light travel for which the road was originally built and the heavy traffic it now car ries, there is no doubt that the construction was adequate , for the time it was built and has been a good investment. However, the heavy traffic con tinues to increase. Every indica tion points to the fact that this is not a temporary condition but can be expected to continue, A 'wider, heavier surface designed for car rying heavier loads is, necessary both for the service of traffic and to avert excessive maintenance costs. . ' In comparison with the light con struction of present surface, it is to be noted the new htehwav will have a subbase of gravel from four to 12 Inches thick. On this will be a cement treated base from six to eight Inches thick. These thick nesses are varied to comply with the needs as indicated by bearing value tests of the subgrade. On top is a plant mix surface three Inches thick. J. W. Trask, district engineer of the Division of Highways at Red ding, says this is the first high way improvement north of Weed in Siskiyou County which conforms to the latest highway standards. Con' struction performed under .these plans will fit into future four lane Divided highway construction. Trask says he is not able to state when this improvement may be extended either to the north or south. This depends upon the ac tlon of the highway commission which has to consider the statewide needs in making up the budget. Trask did say In the event the federal government passes a bill making larger amounts available for, the Interstate system, the pic ture might change. Fund for High- way 99 would be increased and construction correspondingly accelerated New Fire Girls .
