California Areas Soaked
By Heavy Rain Storms
SAN FRANCISCO (UP)-I
Heavy rains fell on Northern and
Central California today from a
"vigorous" storm that battered
the coast with gale force winds.
Rivers began rising ominously
under the continuous downpour
and some flooding was reported
in low-lying areas, especially in
Santa Cruz. Shasta Dam re
leased a record flow into the
Sacramento River as rain-swollen
streams poured into Shasta Lake.
Heavy snows fell in the moun
tains, adding to the snowpack.
The weatherman said a strong
widespread flow of moist sub
tropical air moving over the West
Coast was to blame for the rain
fall. He said heavy rain would fall
this morning, to be followed this
afternoon and tonight by scattered
showers. But he warned that
more rain is likely Thursday
from Salinas and Stockton north
Twenty-four hour rainfall totals
were high. Point Arena reported
3.81 inches, fort Bragg z.6i,
Hamilton Field 2.72 and San
( Francisco Airport 1.74, Sacra
' mento received 1.77 and Fresno
.21.
Gale warnings flew along the
coast norm ol Halt Moon Bay,
while small craft warnings were
posted from Half Moon Bay to
parts of the Southern California
coast. ,
The worst danger area early
today was Santa Cruz. The San
Lorenzo River, which bisects the
town, rose 9 inches over its flood
stage of 12 feet and began spill
ing into low-lying parts of the
city.
Some 60 to 80 homes on the
east bank of the river were being
evacuated as were two trailer
courts in the lower end of town.
Merchants and residents In some
areas began sandbagging their
stores and homes and moving
goods and furniture to upper
glories.
Col. R. F. Brown, regional Civil
Defense coordinator, asked Fort
Ord to send troops with amphibi
i ous ducks to help in rescue work,
should the waters become more
dangerous.
At 1:15 a.m., the waters were
spilling into the city at Blaine St.
between the river and Ocean Ave
on the east bank and in the
Laurel St. area on the west bank.
Bulldozers worked through the
night, shoring up the river dikes.
Storm sewers backed up at 11
p.m., flooding low-lying streets
with up to six inches of water,
but as then no stores or homes
were flooded.
Highway 9. between Santa Cruz
and Boulder Creek, was blocked
by heavy mud slides and fallen
trees near Brookdale Lodge.
At Boulder Creek Dam, 12
miles upstream from Santa Cruz,
waters swirled more than four
feet over the dam, higher than
during tho 1955 tlood. However,
uffirtsls expected less damage be
cause ol precautions taken since
then.

CD officials said they did not
expect at this time any repetition
of the December, 1955, floods that
caused three million dollars
worth of damage to downtown
Santa Cruz.
Flooding was also expected in
the lower reaches of the Russian
River and in the Eel River in
Humboldt County. The Weather
Bureau said the Russian River
would rise above its flood stage
of 29 feet at Guerneville arly
this morning to as much asj2
serious flooding was predicted.
Rising waters threatened
floods in the Sacramento San
Joaquin Delta Area. Convicts
from the Contra Costa County re
habilitation center were busy
sandbagging delta levees, es
pecially at the northwest area of
Bethel Island. Frank's Tract was
reported under water.
Some flooding was feared in the
Rio Vista area along the Sacra
mento River.
A record of 80.000 cubic feet
of water a second was released
by midnight from Shasta Lake
into the Sacramento River. Heavy
rains naa melted the mountain
snow pack in Lassen National
Park, causing a high runoff into
bhasta Lake.
Officials said some homes south
ot Redding might be flooded as
a result of the run-off from the
dam.
Clear Lake, swollen by large
amounts of rain, flooded summer
cottages on the loke shore. Six
families had to leave their homes
Highways 29 and 53 were closed
north of Lakeport.
Low-lying communities around
San Francisco Bay also reported
flooding. A combination of rain
fall and high tide pushed the bay
waters against the Bayshorc
f reeway in muinrae.
Three to four feet of water
lapped at the doorsteps of home
in tnc (jrantun Park area of
Kentfield in Marin County.
In San Francisco, notice closed
off the highway running through
uoiden Gate Park that connects
Park Presidio Blvd. with 19th
Ave. Water was three feet deep
in some places.
A slide 22 miles south of Duns-
muir delayed the southbound
Shasta Daylight eight hours. The
slide cascaded onto the tracks at
LaMoine, a railroad point 22 miles
souin ol uunsmuir. It broke the
air lines under tho engine and first
five cars, halting the train auto
matically. The 176 passengers
were returned to Uunsmmr in the
other four cars to wait until the
slide could be cleared and the
air lines repaired.
Highway 101, closed Tuesday by
slides south of Garberville, was
reopened to one-way traffic.

Deer Figures
YRF.KA Two Siskiyou County
sportsmen's groups joined today
with the Northern Counties Wild
life Conservation Association in at
tacking the figures used by the
F(sh and Game Department in the
reporting of the Siskiyou County
buck kill.
The groups are the Dunsmuir
Rod and Gun Club and the Weed
Gun Club. Twenty-six of their
members joined with the associ
ation recently in a weekend study
of tags turned in last season in
what is believed to be the first
study of its kind ever made in
California by deer hunters.
"We found, said Charles Bull of
Redding, association president,
"that the buck kill in Siskiyou
County last season dropped about
23 per cent from 19,-6. We are now
asking the department for the 1956
tags so we can study the kill by
areas.
'We have reason to believe the
results, which will be available
within the next two weeks, will
show the buck kill last season in
eastern Siskiyou County may have
dropped as much as 75 per cent
Irom 1956.
All three groups have been criti
cal of the either-sex hunts which
the department wants to continue
this year.
The department, said Bull
"likes to make its comparisons on
the basis of the past five seasons.
That's not a fair basis, for two
reasons.
"One is that while shooting of
forked horns has been permitted
the past two seasons, such shooting
has been allowed only three of the
past five years.
"Seasons in 1956 and 1957 have
been the same. But in three of
the past five years, the season
has been from one to two weeks
shorter. Furthermore, the last two
seasons have gone into the rutting
period when it is easier to kill a
buck.
The study shows the name and
address of each hunter, dale and
location of the kill and the number
of points on each side of the horn.
In Siskiyou County this involved
handling of 4,389 tags. In 1956
there were 5,631.
The figures are being transferred
to special maps and will be shown
to the supervisors when the depart
ment appears to seek special hunts
this year in Siskiyou County.
Heart Fund
Drive Slated
Sunday. February 23. is Heart
Sunday, the day on which a neigh
bor or a friend will ring the door
bell, seeking a contribution to the
Oregon Heart Association for its
work in the fields of research, pub
lie and professional education and
community service
In reminding local residents of
the need for generosity in contri
butions, Robert L. Mason, county
campaign chairman, stated that
such an activity is not possible in
many other countries, where the
government assumes all research
and educational obligations. B u t
this is America where the individu
al still enjoys the dignity intended
(or man and the right to support
causes ut his choice.
There can be no doubt, no quar
rel with the work of the Heart As
sociation. Diseases ot the heart
are the greatest cause of death in
Oregon, and scarcely a family has
not lost a relative or a friend to
this disease.
Oregon Heart Association has
budgeted $:!5.220 for research in
Oregon this year, most of it at the
Universily of Oregon Medical
School. Approximately $45,000 more
will be allocated to the American
Heart Association for the support
of research on a national level.
Dedicated scientists in Oregon
and throughout the nation are work
ing around the clock, often at
great personal sacrifice, to find the
answers to diseases of the heart.
Mrs. Vcrn Schortgen is heading
the many volunteer workers who
will canvass the city on Sunday.

TESTING the radar sight of a 75mm antiaircraft gun, are these two full time employes of
the local National Guard, Batteries B, C, a nd D of the 732nd AAA Battalion. This gun
sight will be on display Sunday when the guard will have an open house at their head
quarters on Shasta Way. The open house is in commemoration of National Guard Month.
The gun and the sight, which were "top secret" in 1950 and subsequently declassified,
was built at a cost of $300,000. The sight is capable of tracking and firing at a plane up
to speeds of 900 miles per hour and can pick up an object 12,000 yards or seven and
one-half miles away. The sight also has a firing mechanism which can be used by the radar
operator to loft shells four miles skyward.

750,000 Tickets
LOS ANGELES JR The Los

they've sold 750,000 tickets for the
1958 season.
If they're all used, the Dodgers
could go the rest of the season
without selling another seat and
still wind up with a better home
attendance record than four other
major league teams had in 1957.
The Giants, in New York last
year, drew 653.903. The Cleveland
Indians drew 722,256, the Chicago
Cubs 670,629 and the Washington
Senators 457,069.
Dodger business manager Har

250 season tickets have been sold
6,500 for boxes and 750 for re

investment of about $1,760,000, he
said.
Advance sale receipts are more
than twice as heavy as they were
during any year the Dodgers were

For military assistance. 51.800.

For defense support, 835 million

70 per cent of the total to Ko

substantial military forces.
For special assistance, 212 mil

Study
A thorough study of the slate-
sponsored program whereby coun
ty, city, school and other public
agency employes could come with
in the provisions of the unem
ployment compensation act has
been recommended by the taxa
tion committee of the Klamath
County Chamber of Commerce.
The recommendation
The recommendation was pre-
j u. , j -c
seiueo 10 uie cnamuer ouaru ui
directors during its noon meeting
Wednesday, February 19.
During a Tuesday meeting the
taxation committee agreed that
without thoroughly studying the
potential needs and applications of
the program, it cannot be said
whether it would be good or bad
tor the participating agencies,
what the cost would be, or whether
the cost of participating in the
program would be justitied.
It was further recommended
that the county court, the city
council, and the school districts
withhold action on the proposal
pending completion of the study.
It is anticipated that the survey re
sults will be forwarded to the state
unemployment commission and to
all chambers of commerce in the
state.
Tho program was recently ex
plained to Klamath County offi
cials by representatives of the un
employment compensation com
mission. It was pointed out that the
sponsoring agency would stand the
full cost of participation on a
reimbursable basis, and that no
portion of the cost would be borne
by the individual employe.
Participation in the program is
not mandatory, nd is left strictly
to tho discretion of the governing
bodies of tlm given agencies.
Under provisions of the recent
ly passed state law. all city and
county employes would be cov
ered, as well as school district
employes. Those unable to qualify
for the coverage would be elec
tive and appointive employes and
school teachers hired on a yearly
contractural basis.
The employes could qualify for
as much as 26 weeks of unem
ployment compensation, with the
weekly amounts ranging between
$15 and $40. depending on the
prior earnings of the individual
employe.
