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

with a photostat or certified copy
k the veteran's separation paper,
to the VA Regional Office serving
hfc area.
6. 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. STRAY DOGS
A lot of homeless stray dogs are
in the Klamath County Pound on
Memorial Drive waiting for some
one to come and claim them.
These dog.i will be held only five
days, according to Bill Schlegcl.

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

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

1902 when the price of mercury
fell below the margin of profit. 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.

The heat vaporizes the mercury out
of the rock, the fumes are trapped
and condensed through cooling
coils into the liquid, silvery metals
much needed in today's electronic
devices.
The owners hope the daily 30
tons of ore will yield 700 pounds
of mercury worth about $2,100 on
today's market.
Electric pumps have been in
stalled to clear the tunnels and
shafts which were flooded to with
in 100 feet of the surface. j
"We had to re-timber only the
top part of the shaft which wasn't
flooded," Ayres said. The old-time j
miners had shored the lower depths!
with sugar pine timberings and
the heavily mineralized water had
pickled the wood.
