AGE 2 A HERALD AXD NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON SUNDAY. AUGUST 17. 1958 VA Urges Veterans To Take -Action-On ScfiooJ Aid NowJ Veterans planning to start school this fall under the Korean GI Bill ' today were urged by the Veterans Administration to take action now in order to avoid the last-minute . rush later on. With some 600.000 veterans ex- ' pected to be in training this all, ' VA regional offices will be oper ating at top speed to process their papers. By filing their applications now, veterans will save themselves unnecessary delays, VA said. To help veterans get started the right way, VA issued this eight point check list: 1. Since veterans are allowed only one change of course, they should give plenty of thought to . their goal and the training pro ; gram leading to the goal. - 1 2. Veterans not sure of their '. training goal may request VA vo ; cational counseling. - 3. Veterans should be certain : their course has been Gl-approved by the state in which the school ' is located. VA regional offices and not VA headquarters in Wash ington, D. C. can furnish inlor- mation about approved courses. 4. Veterans should complete ar rangements for admittance to their school before filing applications with VA. 5. The application, for GI train ing should be completely filled out and signed. It should be sent, along little Mississippi Rivcrboat Gal who taught a sophisticated Bachelor about LOVE! ClNEMAScOPf-TECHNICOLOR.

The application should go to VA as soon as possible. This will ensible VA to iron out any snags belore school starts. X Veterans with dependents should have the necessary proof of dependency ready when VA re quests it. For a wife, this would be a photostat of the marriage cer tificate; for a child, a photostat of the birth certificate. 8. Veterans should take along enough money of their own to tide them over the first two months of training. It takes that long, ordi narily, for a veteran's first month ly chock to reach him. The reason is that payments are made only after each month of training is completed, and not before. Further, before VA may make a payment, it must receive a certi fication signed by the veteran and his school, stating that he has been in class all month. The law allows VA 20 days after receipt of certi fications to get checks in the mail. Boat Owners Taxes Listed DORRIS Siskiyou County's BOO registered boat owners are con tributing between $3,600 and $3,800 each year in the form of personal property assessments. L. D. (Babel Taylor, county assessor, said re cently. Taylor said compulsory boat registration, long on the books, was lirst enforced about three years ago after a series of fatali ties involving boats locused state wide attention on the difficulty of identifying a particular craft. The assessor explained that each county has a different num ber, and that the number 47 is Siskiyou County's, followed by number one through 600, depend ing upon when the craft was reg istered. In addition, the designa tion of IB, for inboard motor, or OB. indicating an outboard, is added to the serial number. These symbols appearing on boats desig nate their original type. Boats which have already been assigned numbers by the Coast Guard are not given a number by the county, the assessor said. Taylor , described the registra tion purpose In case of accident as more important than the small amount of additional taxes ob tained.

Kiln To Process Cinnabar By PEGGY WALSH DUNSMUIR A rotary kiln to process cinnabar ore into mer cury is being constructed at the Altoona mine in anticipation of resumption of mine operations by October 1, Charles Ayres, mine manager, has announced. This historic mine, first opera ted in the 1870s, is located about 30 miles southwest of here on the ridge separating Shasta and Trin ity counties. Before the turn' of the century, the Altoona mine had produced more than 30.000 76 pound flasks of mercury with a present day val ue of $720,000. In those days, according to' Ayres, the mine machinery was powered by steam boilers fired with wood. The miners went down a vertical shaft 600 feet deep and worked in two miles of tunnels branching off from the main shaft. The Altoona mine shut down in NO SPACE MAN This is not a man equipped for outer spare exploration. The cover-up suit is a new one devised to pro tect crews servicing missiles against the highly corrosive chemicals that they must handle. Developed by the Army Quartermaster Corps, the new ensemble covers the crewman from head to foot with imper meable 'material. Breathing is done through the M-15 mask, which feeds compressed air from the small tanks. Congress Studies Pension, Benefits WASHINGTON (AP) Com promise legislation to provide $25,- 000 a year pensions and other nenetits for former U.S. presi dents comes up in Congress next week for linal action. Senate and House conferees came to terms on the bill yester day, sending it back to both houses for expected approval. In addition to pensions, the bill would provide former presidents with free mailing privileges, free office space, and $30,000 a year for clerical help. Both branches had accepted pension provisions of the bill, but the House balked at proving the other benefits to help defray ex penses of ex-presidents. The compromise measure would allow only about half as much for clerical help as was proposed in the original Senate bill. The pension provisions also would authorize $10,000 a year for widows of ex-presidents, but they would have to waive any other pensions they might be drawing from the government. The only living ex-presidents are Democrat Harry S. Truman and Republican Herbert Hoover. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mrs. Woodrow Wilson are the only widows. Mrs. Roosevelt has been quoted as saying she won't accept the pension. IT WAS A HARD LIFT CHICAGO UPI Officials of the Chatham YMCA on Chicago's South Side today puzzled over a theft.

It was reopened three years ago when the Castella Corporation leased the property from the Altoona Mining Company. The Castella Corpora tion is beaded by Lynn A. Smith and Bert C. Austin, two San Fran cisco consulting engineers. A reorganization of operations has been under way this summer including plans to refine mercury at the mine site. Ayres said new exploratory oper ations have uncovered enough cin nabar ore (sulphide of mercury) to keep the mine running for sever al years. A crew of 20 is building the kiln on the property. It will process 30 tons of ore daily. The ore will be crushed to a maximum diameter of one inch, then roasted in the oil-fired kiln.
