Air Terminal Study Slated Two members of the chamber of commerce's aviation committee. Walt Mclntyre, president, and Ned Putnam, president of the Sports man Pilots, will appear before the city council Monday evening to in vite members to view several air ports of cities of comparable size to Klamath Falls. Chamber Manager R. Frank Tucker said that the purpose of Putnam's and Mclntyre's visit is to T)ush the program for new air terminal building." "Our present goat barn," Tuck er said, "is not commensurate with the economic expansion of the area." He added that the Navy has al ready promised to build a control tower for the Air Force and has scheduled completion is the mid dle of July. This is an opportunity, now, said Tucker, "to make this a com plete package deal and get every thing done at once. We must take aggressive action immediately." Putnam has already volunteered to fly the councilmen to the vari ous airports so they can achieve an idea of what other cities have in the way of airport facilities. Grimes is about 95 miles north- cast of San Francisco. The evacuation was ordered by Colusa County Supervisor Charles V. Dennis, who is also assistant chairman of the Colusa County Civil Defense. Dennis was acting for the chair man, .11. ll. rendt, who was iso lated at his ranch home in Colusa County. Fendt's house lies be tween the flooded Colusa and Moulton weirs. State engineers said Inst night that 150 to 200 feet of the levee in the Grimes area was "very spongy and in critical shape." Early today, however, the De partment of Water Resources in Sacramento said the situation was 'improved" and that the pressure of the water against the sides had lessened.

However, they gave way on the east bank Thurs day afternoon two and one-half miles north of Hamilton City. A stream of water shot 40 feet into adjoining farmland. How ever, no homes or livestock were in danger. Nearly 200 persons who fled the Hamilton City area on Wednesday night returned to their homes Thursday. In Chico, E. C. Sctzer, regional Civil Defense Director who is co ordinating flood prevention along i ne sacramemo. snici me situation at Hamilton City is "now under control." The big problem is the rain- saturated condition of the lev- he said. "We are carefully watching them. Another problem could arise if warm weather melts the snow at higher levels and causes a big runoff." Elsewhere In Northern Califor nia, the San Lorenzo, Russian and Eel rivers dropped well be low the danger point. In Lake County. Clear Lake flooded the basements of 40 lake side cottages in the Lakcport nrea. However, no residents had to leave. In Contra Costa County, the Roard of Supervisors approved a $100,000 appropriation to repair county roads damaged by recent storms. The repair work will include a 500 yard section of Cummings Skyway between Crockett and Pin ole. A massive slide Wednesday night blocked it. Engineers pre dicted it will take at least two weeks, and possibly two months, to clear it. Other repairs will be made to Rheem Blvd. near St. Mary's College and Hillcrest Road near El Svbrante.

Muster Day Program Set A custom older than the nation will be re-enacted Sunday, Feb ruary 23, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., when the members of the 732nd AAA Battalion, Oregon National Guard, will gather for their an nual Muster Day observance. The 732nd is only one of more than 6.000 guard units through out the nation and its territories which will honor the first president, George Washington, the day after his birthday. In all. some 375.000 fft'J: Guardsmen will participate. rived from an old militia custom which began during the early days of the Colonies. Once each year. : every able bodied man for miles around gathered on the village green for roll call and weapons inspection. This year the citizens of the Ba sin will do the inspecting, not on the village green, but in a modern armory, which is not quite a year old. Instead of flintlocks, Basin residents will inspect antiaircraft guns, semi-automatic rifles,' mor tars, machine guns, pistols and the latest in communications equipment. According to the 732nd's com manding officer, Lt. Col. Francis C. Ayres, "One of the most im portant contributions we expect our Muster , Day celebration to make is a public awareness of how far the guard has come dur ing the past 300 years without changing its basic principle of voluntary military training on a parttime basis. The guard has demonstrated repeatedly that it can stay up with the times without losing its identity or purpose." Dr. R. E. GARRISON Chiropractic Physician Hours 9 A.M. to 6 P.M. (others by appointment) 2236 So. 6th Ph. 4-8387 The Brosterhous Construction Company of Klamath Falls sub mitted the low bid of $284,747 for constructing the proposed 12-room Crest Elementary School and in stalling the cabinet work. The school will be a part of the Klam ath. County school system and will be located near the intersection of Crest and Laverne streets. Close on the heels of the win ning bid was the kbs.os entry submitted by Riverman and Sons of Portland. The $277,780 basic bid submitted by Brosterhous was slightly higher than the $277,oou bid of Riverman, but the nod went to Brosterhous by a slight margin when computing the nec essary alternates. Inasmuch as some federal funds- will be used in construction of the school, the board-approved Bros terhous bid will now have to be approved from federal branch of fices in Seattle. Superintendent Carrol Howe said It is anticipated that the project can be launched by March 1, and that the school will be ready for occupancy late this year. Other bidders and the amounts, including the basics and the cab inet work, were as follows: H. Barnhart of Medford, $315,211; Burkhard Construction Company of Klamath Falls, $319,303; DeGree Construction Company of Portland, $291,000; Louis Kowolowski Con struction Company of Madras, $304,062; Mason and Robinson Builders of Portland, $287,343; R. I. Randolph Construction Com pany of Salem. $305,701: Todd Building Company.- of Roseburg, $315,292; Al Vik and Son of Eu gene, $296,575; and Howard Wtrtz of Grants Pass, $324,759. Morrison and Howard are archi tects for the project. In other action, the school board denied at this time to rescind its February 20 action whereby stipu lated that the county schools 'will continue to open on the day fol lowing Labor Day as during years of the past. A group of 250 Klamath Falls residents has requested that the schools open on the Monday fol lowing Labor Day, or about a week later. The contention is that such a change would enable the incorporation of early fall vaca tions with the Labor Day holiday and would permit more general student attendance at the state fair. The board advised during its Thursday meeting that members will be glad to meet with indi vidual groups or the city school boards to further discuss the is sue in an attempt to work out something agreeable to everyone. A date for such a meeting has not been set. Members of the County School Teachers Salary Committee ap peared before the board and oointed out that teacher salary in creases are necessary if Klamath County is to retain its present teachers, attract new and compe tent teachers, and thereby retain its position in the educational field. The teachers pointed out that dur ing the past three years the coun ty teaching salaries have depre ciated considerably as related to salaries paid in other parts of Ore gon. Although making no definite salary proposal, the teachers re quested that the teacher salaries should be raised to a favorable position in relation to other first class districts within1 the state, that the $200 salary increase should be ' carried through out the salary schedule, and that teachers in the rural areas should be compensated more for mileage than is now the case. The salary increments are now $200 in the base steps, and are $100 in the middle and upper brackets. A committee of teachers and board members will study the is sue further so that a definite pres entation can be made during the March 13 preliminary budget meeting of the board. Members of the board were pret ty much agreed Thursday that some form of teacher-salary hike is necessary, particularly in the starting salary portions of the sal ary scales. In other business ' the board passed a motion indicating that the Klamath County school sys tem would not elect to affiliate with the unemployment compensa tion program whereby non-contrac-tural employes with the school dis trict could apply and qualify for unemployment compensation when out of work during (the summer months. ' The program was recently ex plained to county, city and school officials. Orin Sample was appointed to serve another term on the county school budget committee if he is agreeable to the reappointment. Sample is from the Gilchrist area and was appointed by Leroy Geinger.
