THURSDAY. JUNE 12. 19S8 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE 7 B New Pine Creek Grange Plans Fathers Day Party NEW PINE CREEK There will be a Fathers Day community din ner and program following church services Sunday, June IS, at the grange hall, it was announced at the grange meeting Saturday eve ning, by Grace Bernard, home ec chaiman, who reported on the home ec meeting held last Thurs day at the hall, when Mrs. Anna Usher was hostess. In reporting on a resolution in cupport of the Willow Ranch Small Craft Harbor now under consider ation, adopted at the previous grange meeting, Carmen P. Flem ing, chairman of the legislative committee for California, said he had attended a meeting of the Modoc County Board of Supcrvis ors recently. He said he was en couraged to believe that the in- stallation on Goose Lake is by no means a aeaa issue, -ine supervis ors endorsed the project and turned the matter over to the Al luras Chamber of Commerce for further action. "It is still possible to get the harbor installation on the lake, he said. A motion carried to have the Civ ic Improvements Committee con tact property holders of the three lots just south of the grange hall with the aim of getting permission to use them, along with the other lots in the space between the fire hall and the grange hall, for the purpose of developing a town park. Jack Moffitt has offered to donate his lot for such a purpose and the other existing lots are thought to be available. Serving on the committee are Irvin L. Faris, Carmen Fleming and Harvey San ders. Alice Allen, secretary, in the discussion on cemetery improve ments, suggested that a plot be made of the cemetery. The sugges tion was included in a motion that carried, to have a committee ap pointed to investigate the possi bility of having cemetery districts established for cemeteries in Lake County, and also to see if some reciprocal agreement could be reached with Modoc County, where cemetery districts are already es tablished, for grave maintenance. Appointed to this committee were Fred Fisher, Robert Snider and Harvey Sanders. When the matter of having a well drilled at the cemetery was brought up for discussion, it was disclosed that the Eastside Grange has no money for cemetery de velopment. All the money donated in the past to the grange for cem etery improvement was turned over several years ago to the town cemetery committee. This committee, Garland Cundiff ex plained, is now composed of the following persons: Darvin Robnett, president, Alviii Butler, secretary treasurer, Raymond Fisher, Don ald tvans and himself. He also said the committee had built a fence around the new ad dition to the cemetery, purchased and erected a new gate, and done other improvements, with $400 still remaining in the cemetery fund. Speaking on behajf of the com mittee, he said they were reluc tant to drill for water as there was not guarantee that water could he reached at the average depth of wells down lower in the valley, where good drilled wells run from SO to 75 feet deep. They did not want to risk spending people's money and still have a dry hole. ine cemetery improvement fund was first begun by the Modern woodman Lodge over 10 years ago. it was brought out in the dis cussion. After that lodge went de funct, the Eastside Grange lent its support to the project in order to have a better cemetery for the community. But, as an entity, the old cemetery committee continued to function, replacing its members trom time to time. Part of the money it has on hand at present was sent directly to members of the committee and over half of it was sent to the Eastside Grange problems. where it was kept in a separate cemetery fund. A few years ago it was deemed wise to turn it all over to the town's cemetery com mittee to use at its discretion as its members were considered best acquainted with the cemetery Fred Fisher reported on the Po mona Grange meeting he attended recently at Fort Rock, where it was reported the Eastside Grange had won the membership attend ance contest. He congratulated the membership but cautioned that they won by only five points, which should make all mindful of the im portance of regular attendance. A 4-H scholarship of $25 was voted by the members before they adjourned for refreshments and listened to a humorous reading by Mrs. Bernard. School Facts Editor's Note: This is the sec ond in a series of informative ar ticles dealing with the city schools and their budgets. The series is under sponsorship of the Class room Teachers Organization, and any questions may be directed to Marilou O'Connor, 133 Grant Street. Today's article will dis cuss some of the local factors af fecting school costs. By MARILOU O'CONNOR One of the factors contributing (o higher school expenditures is found in the method of handling the funds accruing from the bas ic school support monies returned to local school districts from state funds. Until the general session of the Legislature in 19S7 the bas ic school support paid to each dis trict was $85 per census school child. The general -session of that year raised the amount to $95, and the amount was once again raised at the special session of the Oregon Legislature called in the fall of 1957, this time to $105 per child. The special session then adjust ed the method of handling the school support funds. Formerly the funds have been given to the school districts and were included in the budgets as presented to the community as in item under "estimated receipts." Under the new method of handling the funds. the school districts may include the amount of $95 per child, but not the additional $10 per child which can be applied for to the general fund only after the pass ing of the school budget. In the budget of Union High School District, for example, the basic school support fund listed as "estimated receipts" is for the amount of $192,000. In reality, there is another $95,000 in the general fund for the district. Elementary school district No. 1 lists $235,000 as estimated receipts in its budg et; with the additional $10 per child the amount is actually $265,- 000. A second factor affecting the local school tax situation is the handling of utility tax monies. For merly, these were collected in the county in which the utilities were located. Now the taxes on these utilities are collected by the state reducing the county income from this source. The original proposed budget for the Klamath Union High School District was $836,571, and the amount for the elementary district was $1,235,317. After these budgets were defeated during the special school elections of May 5, the proposed budgets were revised to $708,060 for the high school ana $1,189,156 for the elementary dis trict. Major reductions in the elemen tary budget were in the capital outlay items, while the reductions in the high school budget included the elimination of one new teach er, several minor items, and smaller salary increase for janitors and bus drivers. Detailed copies of the budgets of both districts are 'available in the office of the superintendent of schools, Room 200, at the high school building. Succeeding arti cles in this series will discuss each budget in more detail. Goose Lake TV Group Votes To Accept Bylaws NEW PINE CREEK Members of the Goose Lake Valley TV Translator Club voted Sunday, June 8, at a special meeting at the grange hall to accept the re cently drawn-up constitution and bylaws.

Germany (UPI) Officials blamed mice today for the deaths of two elephants in the city's zoo. Two weeks ago a five - year - old African elephant died from an unidentified sick ness. A day later a seven-year old Indian elephant came down with the same disease and even tually died.

The male cowbird is the only black bird in the United States with a brown head; the female is a dull gray color. Conway, Lakeview; and Fred S Longfellow, Route 8, Lakeview. Only 70 more subscribers are needed to meet the minimum quota ff 200, but it is hoped that 320 subscribers can be obtained This figure would make it possible to install a three tower station which would bring in Redding Reno and Klamath Falls, instead of just Redding. Officers reelected for the follow ing year are Leland Harris, presi dent; Marvin Leigh, vice president, both of Willow Ranch; and Irvin L. Faris, secretary-treasurer, New Pine Creek. Reappointed board members are Earl Brunnemer, Davis Creek; Eu gene Oder, Willow Ranch; Lee Perry, New Pine Creek; Duane Sicbert, Lakeview: and Dr. Arthur Simmons, Westside. Harris estimated that after the quota of $5,000 has been raised, it will be around 60 days before the way can be cleared with all agen cies involved to begin construc tion. He urged all those who pledged to start sending in their subscrip tions now if they want to get the station erected before winter weather begins. Checks should be mailed to the Goose Lake Valley TV Translator Club, in care of Irvin L. Faris. secretary-treasurer, New Pine Creek, Oregon.
