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.
All troops are preparing to par
ticipate in a district singnrcc to
be held in March in Mount Shasta,
Mrs. Albert McHenry, neighbor
hood chairman, announced.
Troop 30, high school girls, led
by Donna Harmon and Shirley Ed
son, is planning a trip this sum
mer. Their spring activities will
include a valentine party, bowling
party and guest speakers on voca
tions. Troop 71, junior high level, un
der the leadership of Claudia Ma
ther, Beverly Young, and Alice
Anderson plan to present a pro
gram for the Dunsmuir Women's
Club. Ulla Bernston, Swedish for
eign student, is working with this
group and is teaching them the
schottische and telling them about
her country.
Troop 80 comprised of sixth
grade girls and led by Jean Wag
ner and Dorothy Randall is con
centrating on homemaking and
hostess badges and planning an
all-day rip to Redding in t h e
ipring.
Troop 23, fifth grade girls, with
Aletha Guy, Eddie Reid, Bcrnice
Simpson and Dorothy Conwill as
leaders, have a combination of
homemaking and outdoor events on
their agenda with cooking proj
ects and camping skills to be stud
ied. Troop 55, fourth grade Brownies
led by Lurline Lowe and Ruth
Jones, is preparing for their fly
' up ceremony in the spring when
they will become full fledged
scouts. They are learning folk and
square dancing.
The third grade Brownies, Troop
39, is led by Evelyn Davis, Edna
Sweetwyne and Patricia McCutie.
They, are learning folk dances, too.
The youngest , group, second
grade Brownies, is led by Argyll
Adams, Helen Rodgers, Ellen Fis
cher and Elta Mae Mclntyre. They
are concentrating on crafts this
year.
All girls will participate in the
International Think Day. Febru
ary 22, in remembrance of the
birthdays of the founders of scout
ing and its worldwide aspects to
day. Each Dunsmuir troop is study
ing a foreign country and dress
ing a cardboard doll in a costume
appropriate to that country. This
project will form a window dis
play in downtown Dunsmuir dur
ing February.
The troop leaders reported a full
program of activities this fall with
field trips, parties and philanthro
pic work among the special events.
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.

and chrrm from New York City's
lenirai rant.
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

ment includes Felix Arami. Glenn
Hallmark. George Keno. Ted Ku

Ken Truelove, Angelo Zannotto and
Axtell. These men were chosen be
cause of their employment or the
location of their homes, making it
more convenient to answer fire
calls.
