Leaders Air GS Schedule DUNSMUIR Prospective acti vities of the seven Girl Scout troops of Dunsmuir were discussed at a recent meeting of the neigh borhood leaders at the Methodist Church.

BASIN BRIEFS The sale price. $950,000, is to be based on the original cost of the telephone plant in service, less ac crued depreciation, subject to cer tain adjustments and plant addi tions since November, lBav, accord ing to Beck. .Beaver State proposes to finance the acquisition by is suing West Coast 29,000 shares of Beaver State stock, par $10 and paying West Coast $368,300, "ad justed as provided in the contract." Beaver State further proposes in the application, now under consid eration by Morgan, that "its rates to be charged shall be the rates presently being charged" in the Lakeview division by West Coast. Beaver State accompanied its ap plication with a complete sched ule of tariffs, all identical to those now in effect in the division which encompasses exchanges at Adel. Algoma, Chemult, Chiloquin, Fort Klamath, Lakeview, Paisley, Plush and Summer Lake. The application contains the draft of an agreement under which West Coast would operate all prop erties in the division for Beaver State and be reimbursed for its efforts without profit. Beaver State proposes paying West Coast for these properties out of funds committed to Beaver State by the Rural Electrification Ad ministration. REA approved a $1, 197,000 loan to Beaver State last October 22. The application makes it plain that, once, approval is received from the regulatory bodies, Beaver State will begin functioning as a wholly-owned subsidiary of West Coast. Receipt of such approval also will signal Beaver State's launching of a five-year program to expand telephone facilities in Lake and Klamath counties. "Primary purpose of the estab lishment of Beaver State was to make possible West Coast's obtain ing an REA loan at. a low enough interest rate to insure sound financ ing of its operations in the Lake view district," Beck's statement explained. He noted that the last money West Coast had br, rowed in the private market cost the company about four and one-half per cent, as compared with the REA rate of two per cent. i. West Coast and the REA began discussions in June, 1956, looking toward the utility s chances to ob tain financing for expansion and modernization of West Coast s Lake and Klamath County system "We were, and arc, anxious to serve a good many potential cus tomers in the lightly-settled rural areas of both counties," Beck said. "Our program would have been economically unsound, however, without a loan from the REA which was established to facilitate devel opment of utility services in just such areas." Beck advised Castle that he an ticipates no changes in present West Coast personnel in the divi sion, if the Beaver State applica tion wins approval at Salem.

The 842-acre park has. since the war, acquired a dees-rooted reci tation as a hangout for muggers, rapisis, nomosexuals and vandals. It has been called a "fortress of fear" This skidding reputation is en hanced whenever an incident oc curs such as the Jan. 20 stabbine in broad daylight of a United Nations secretary who was stroll ing in the park. Last September. Nepal's U.N. ambassador was mugged during a nighttime walk in the park. "When we get a felonious as sault, the papers always play it up. complained a park police man. "Other precincts get this sort of thing almost every day and yet, people have the idea that Central Park is the most dancer- ous place in the city." he added. Last September, Police Com missioner oiepnen Kennedy re ported that Central Park's 22nd precinct handled 41 felony com plaints ana 344 misdemeanor com plaints during June, July and August. A year earlier, there were 53 felonies and 222 misdemeanors Kennedy added the precinct He suggested that people who use the park after dark stick to the footpaths. No one is permitted in the park after midnight, but police are kept busy shooing drunks. vagrants and stragglers. One factor that makes New Yorkers shy away from the park the feeling that many park crimes go unreported, tor ex ample: a section of the park known as "the ramble" is a ren dezvous for homosexuals. They reportedly fall easy and silent- prey to thugs. Another element is the "crawler," who sneaks up on lovey-dovey couples to snatch the woman's purse. Unreported rapes are said to occur in the loch area, at the heavily-wooded north ern end of the park.. A five-year' lighting moderniza tion program, costing $1,250,000, is far behind schedule. Some 1,075 lampposts nearly double the park s original number should be fully installed by January, 1962. In addition to the lights, the park has 25 call boxes scattered along its 31 miles of walks and footpaths, five miles ot bridle paths and 10 miles ot automobile roads. Many critics say the park should have more telephones. Grenada Forms Fire Department GRENADA Through the efforts of its citizens, the community, of Grenada has established a volun teer fire department, complete with its own fire truck. A volunteer committee, headed by Ed Axtell, assisted by Mrs. Joyce Weston, as secretary, made calls at homes of residents, who contributed $900 towards the pur chase of an engine and other equip ment. Lynn Roberts. Civil Defense head, and a resident of Grenada, found where the community could purchase a civil defense fire en gine for only $300. It is a 1945 model, used by the Marine Corps to protect an air base, and was originally sold for $3,623. The speedometer only registers 1.745 miles. It is at present temporarily housed in the Grenada garage. Following t h e collection. Ax tell's committee held an election with Ray Hufford elected as fire chief and Frank DeSoza. assist ant. The remainder of the depart ment includes Felix Arami. Glenn Hallmark. George Keno. Ted Ku cera. Ralph Richards. Clyde Scott. Ken Truelove, Angelo Zannotto and Axtell.

Ohio Wl The teaching of young children is al most exclusively a woman's job because men think kindergarten and grammar school teaching is sissified, says a prominent educa tor. Dr. James L. Hymes of the University of Maryland college of education told a recent meeting of nursery school teachers that many men would like to teach young children "but the feeling it's a sissy job. a waste of a man's brain keeps them from it."
