Gor don, fire chief, was lower last year then in the past several years. In 1955 the department answered 166 alarms. Two were false. Mu tual aid was rendered to neighbor ing fire departments three times. There were no injuries in the line of duty .during the 12 months period, -r An Important factor in cutting down fire losses, Gordon said has been the excellent response from volunteer firemen in answering alarms and the proficiency at tained through the use of radio. The suburban department was the first among local rural fire departments to take advantage of tho state and federal aid program in securing radio equipment for its trucks, including a base trans mitting station, eight, two-way mo bile and five, walkie-talkie units. Since then other Basin fire de partments have added radio equip ment in order to operate more ef ficiently In their districts. The Tulelake. OTI, Bonanza, Merrill, Malln, Stewart-Lennox and Klam ath County fire departments now all have radio equipped trucks, with walkie-talkie units, which has created a network throughout the Basin, operated on a standard fire frequency, that permits contact between departments through the base transmitter located at the Suburban Fire station, for mutual aid. The inter-communication system has been used a number of times in the last year. A recent example that the sys tem played in local rescue work, revolved around a case where sec onds meant the balance between life and death, according to an attending physician. The OTI fire department sent out a oall for help requesting a supply of oxygen for a rcsuscitator emergency case, which was delivered in time to save a life. Gordon in making his report on 1955 fires, said that the web of communications between' the com munity fire departments would be extremely Important in civil defense. California Solon Charges Sportsmens' Land Steal Workers ' DETROIT (UP) The auto In dustry, anticipating a seasonal buyer slump, has idled some 25, 000 production workers in the past month in an effort to right the lop sided level of supply and demand.

Dr. W. C. Hueper. head of the environmental cancer section of the National Institutes of Health, said there is no evidence clgarets are a "major factor" in cancer. But, he said, they play a "pos sible contributory role." Hueper, in the current Isue of the Public Health Service maga zine "Public Health Reports." said experiments, statistics and exhaus tive surveys all support the con clusion that "atmospheric pol lutants are to a great part re sponsible for the causation of lung cancer." He strenuously urged "rigid measures to discourage the intro duction" of new cancer-causing chemicals into the air. WASHINGTON (UP) ' Rep. George P. Miller (D-Calif) Satur day charged the administration with taking money for land for duck hunters and giving it to the oil and gas industry. Miller criticized the Interior De partment policy of permitting oil and gas leasing on fish and wildlife refuges If the leases are approved by the department's Fish and Wildlife Service. He became particularly critical Q Newspaper SPOT ADS are inexpensive repeated daily, "9c Meter Reader On Safe Side Now HENDERSON, Ky. i A certain meter reader is taking no chances on being mistaken for Leslie Ir vln.

"If those refuges, created from acouired lands, are opened for oil and gas leasing, that simply is taking money away from the sportsmen and giving It to the oil people," Miller said. An Interior Department spokes man said the Fish and Wildlife Service has a total of about 3. 560.000 acres in 200 refuges which are exclusively waterfowl refuges. He said about 256.000 acres of this acreage was acquired with duck stamp money. lake elementary building which Is nearlng completion. Teachers will continue with their own classes un til the end of the term. A copy of the "Reclamation Era." says, "that the Tulelake di vision of the Klamath Reclama tion project was the only one in the United States in which school facilities were forgotten." When the 1927 homesteaders moved to their land, no provision had been made from any source to build a school. A few children were taken to Merrill, others were taught by Mrs. L. C. Klrby, a qualified teacher, still living at Tulelake. A drive for funds was promoted and enough donations were re ceived from the homesteaders and from merchants in Merrill, Malin and Klamath Falls to get the necessary equipment for emergen' cy classes. Mrs. Mary Motschenbacher, Mrs. Nlta Stevenson and Ray Laird were appointed to serve on an emergency school board, 8am Calhoun, allowed easement pro ceedings for a school house on a corner of his homestead, a site on which the present school building stands. Under the direction of Walter Storey and .Walter Turnbaugh, the walls of a one-room frame build ing went up. As the time for classes neared and the building was still not complete, the wom en took a hand and two, Gladys England and Evea Adams, "went aloft" to help Phil Llskey do the shingling. Classes opened the fall of 1928 with Pearl Thomas as teacher. Old desks, an organ from an aban doned school from Oklahoma flats near Dorrls, and a pot-bellied, sage brush burning stove furnished the building. . ' Teacher Thomas lived in a tent until Christmas when a one-room building was finished for her use. - About the time of the first snow, romance entered the life of the lonely teacher. William Carsley came to haul in wood and to clean the floors without pay. It was the way to a teacher's heart. Two years later, she married her gal lant janitor. The Winema Welfare Club, or ganized that year, sponsored school activities, acting as an early day PTA and has since functioned tor the welfare of the school and com munity. The first church service in the community was held in the origi nal building. The Winema school district was formed with Walter Turnbaugh, Ralph Ganger and William Anderson as directors Children rode to school on horse back or plodded dusty and snowy roads. The first eighth grade grad uates in 1930 were Helen Wolfe, now living In Lima, Peru and Louis Durkee. By the time the 1932 homestead ers arrived Clark Fensler had converted , a farm truck into school bus and. was hauling high school students to Merrill. The school was enlarged and a larger, .home for the teacher was built which later burned. As students increased, space was limited and community activities held in the school building were curtailed. When the Japanese relocation center at Newell was closed a building from that location was moved to the Winema site and converted Into the present three room building. Disposition of this building has as yet not been de cided upon. . . Sunday, January 22, the Winema Welfare Club will sponsor a 5:30 p.m. potluck dinner and reminis cent program at the school house as a farewell to an era that is past. DR. J. W.
