'Little Guy' Has Problems
In Christmas Tree Industry
By PKGGY WALSH
DUNSMUIR "I'm just a little'
guy." Joe Martinotti of San Fran
cisco says of himself in character
izing his rolp in the Christmas tree
industry. "The big operators, they
have bis problems. ... I got little
problems."
Martinotti on his annual tree
cutting expedition has become a
welcomed late fall guest at Cedar
Lodge Motel in Dunsmuir. He has
1.200 silvertip trees stored in an
unused lumber warehouse belong
ing to the Ralph Smith Companv.
He is currently cutting on Ralph
Smith land along the backbone of
mountains that divide Shasta and
Trinity counties. Before he leaves
for the city he plans to harvest
1.200 white fir and Douglas fir
trees. (
The trees are slated for retail
Druggists Fined
For Substitutions
NEW YORK (AP)-Two Long
Island pharmacists have been
fined $1,500 each and placed on
three years' probation for using
penny tablets instead of expen
sive antibiotics in preparing pre
scriptions. Brought in for sentencing Fri
day in Brooklyn federal court
were Charles P. Greenberg, 30,
Plainview, N.Y., and Marvin W.
Goldstein, 29, East Meadow, N.Y.
The pair operated a pharmacy in
Belhpage, N.Y.
Judge Leo F. Rayfiel sentenced
each man to one-year prison
terms, then fined them and put
them on probation.
Greenberg and Goldstein plead
ed guilty last Nov. 10 to using
"cold tablets" costing them one
cent aoiece to fill a nresrrini inn
by a physician for antibiotic tab-
jets costing 41 cents each.
sale at the Clement Nursery in the
Richmond district of San Fran
cisco, a business owned and run
by Martinotti. A one-man operation
irom slope to store. Martinotti
says he even delivers some of his
trees to the homes of his custo
mers.
He used to buv trees from
wholesale jobbers, he said, and
got into the tree cutting business
to have better trees to sell. Now
lie returns every year because he
enjoys the experience. "I lose a
little weight and get a lot of fresh
air," he comments. He savs he
now cuts only to meet his needs
on the basis of a fairly well es
tablished clientele.
Martinotti's problems stem from
contracting to cut in natural stands
of trees on privately owned hold
ings, some days you walk a long
way," he says.
He used to harvest from forest
service lands but (eels the forest
service was more interested in
tree thinning than good Ckristmas
trees for market.
Like the big operators. Marti
notti is concerned about the ille
gal tree cutter. He says he has
had a timber operator's license
for years and always properly eon
tracts for cutting rights, both re
quired for lawful Christmas tree
harvesting.
But he says he's never been
stopped by any law enforcement
agency and asked for proof of his
legal siatus.
"If they don't ask me, who do
they ask?" he wonders, but adds
with true Joe Doakes philosophy.
"The day I leave my papers at
the motel, I'll be slopped."
Martinotti states he is a con
servationist at heart. "Some of the
fellows, they don't care. I prune,
I thin because it improves the
torest. 1 know I won t live long
enough to see the result but who
cares, it isn t much more work

Radio Telescope Fails On Rocket
JODRELL BANK, England (AP
The world's biggest radio tele
scope tracking equipment broke
down Saturday while trying to
trace the U.S. Army's Juno 11
moon shoot.
Prof. Alfred Lovell, the astron
omer who runs the huge telescope
said the trouble was in a special
amplifying device on its radio
antenna.
The telescope got a brief fix on
a signal from space at 8 a.m.

the launching of the rocket at
Cape Canaveral, Fla.,- but there

Work Dips In November; Season Labor Completed
Unemployment continued its sea
sonal increase through November
as construction contracts were
completed and sawmills began
reducing crews, Guy Barker, man
ager of the Klamath Falls oftice
of the slate employment service,
reports in his December labor
market bulletin.
"We find that at the end of No
vember Klamath County had 35
per cent less unemployed work
ers in 1958 than in 1957." Barker
said. "Employment and payrolls
have hecn substantially higher all
through 1958 than during 1957."
A statistical study covering the
first three months of 1958, recent
ly released by the Oregon
State Unemployment Compensa
tion Commission, has substantiated
Barker's statement from the early
part of the year. These statistics
showed that, for Klamath County.
1958 produced increases all along
the line, with one exception. The
number of employers jumped from
716 to 725. The average number
of employes covered by insurance
increased to. 9 per cent. Employ
ment in logging and lumbering
lumped 12.7 per cent, while that
in construction increased 20.4 per
cent. Payrolls covered by insur
ance increased 16.1 per cent. The
one exception was in reference
to employment in wholesale and
retail trade, which decreased 7.5
per cent,
Other points made in Barker s
December bulletin were:
The extremely high unemploy
ment which occurred during
the winter of 1957-58 is not ex
pected to occur this season. Many

Merchants report some increases

Oregon's unemployment reserve
fund has shown a steady increase
sinco July, when a low of $22,828,-
167 was shown and a 2.7 per cent
tax rate went into effect for all
employers. As of November 7,
1958, the commission reports the
reserve fund reached $32,206,688.
One year ago it stood at $48,-411.550.

Five tables of pinochle were in
play with all gifts going to the
guest of honor.
A late November party at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth
Thomas brought enough friends to
play two tables of pinochle. Pres
ent from a distance was Mrs. Mae
Horwick, Portland, mother of Mrs
Thomas.
Mr. and Mis. Olio Haynos. who
have recently completed extensive
remodeling of their home, were
presented with a housewarming
gift, an electric clock, when friends
and neighbors called. Five tables
of pinochle and one of canasta

20, 1958, Klamath County had 1
per cent of the average covered
workers claiming benefits. For the
same week in November, 1957,
there were 7.7 per cent claiming
unemployment benefits.
The annual program of general
aptitude testing of Klamath Union
High School seniors was carried out
during November. This program,
undertaken in cooperation with the
school, assists school counselors in
advising those seniors who do not
plan on entering college. These
test results show those graduating
students who plan to enter the la
bor market which occupations
would best fit their aptitudes. The
screening process shows that a
high percentage of graduating sen
iors plan on entering college.
During November. 1958, 257
workers were placed in non-agricultural
jobs. This was an in
crease of 43 per cent over the
number placed during Novem
ber, 1957.

Mohammedans. Brahmins and

Lumber Prices
Steady In Week
PORTLAND (AP) - Lumber
prices were steady tnis past
week, but trading was sluggish,
Crow's Lumber Market News
Service said Friday.
Prices held firm for green
Douglas fir studs, fir and hem
lock for water shipment and util
ity grade green fir dimensions,
while prices weakened for econ
omy grade dimension and green
board.
Ponderosa pine common board
prices were unchanged, but the
drop for kiln-dried Douglas fir
was reflected in a similar drop of
dry dimension from Western pine
region mills. Quarter-inch, index
grade Douglas fir plywood sanded
on one side varied between $72
and $76.
