He said it would spread to San
Francisco and Tahoe late tonight
and to Monterey and Yosemite
Saturday. Snow will fall in the
mountains above ' the 6,000-7.000

The 175 .residents ot Grimes fled

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.

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."

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.
