Video Group
Holds Meet
MONTAGUE Various reoorts
and a general discussion on sev
eral points were the high points of
tne meeting of the board of di
rectors of the Nor-Sis Television
Corp., held recently at the Mon
tague Elementary School, which
was conducted by the president.
James B. McAdams of Montague.
At a previous meeting of the
board It was recommended that
an "advisory board" be set up in
Weed and Yreka, who would strive
to obtain' members and workers,
and who would act as assistants
to the directors whenever called
upon. .
In order to clear up the con
fusion in the minds of the people.
Jim Dow, engineer technician for
the organization, explained that the
"location of the translator system
will be determined by the loca
tion of members of Nor-Sis that
the system would he installed
where the biggest per cent of
members could be reached."
Antelope Peak is one of the
sites being considered, and Byron
Lewis, who with several of his
co-workers had investigated that
peak, slated that it would definite
ly cover Gazelle, Grenada, Big
Springs, Montague and Little Shas
ta, but would require construction
of a road, and about a mile and
a half of power cable.
F. N. Giger, director represent
ing the Gre.iada residents, also
expressed the view of the Grenada
people coincided with that of the
Gazelle residents, that they do not
wish to invest their money In a
system that would not he of any
henefit to them, and If need be
they would each contribute $10R
and put In their own system, for
they, too, felt that Nor-Sis had
definitely decided on the Humbug
site.
sicAoams men entertained a mo
tion that a resolution be passed
which he said he "hoped would
clear the minds of the residents,
that the board had not definitely
decided on any specific peak for
installation of the translators, and
that the site would be determined
according to where the member
ship was located. The group voted
in favor of that resolution, which
was duly entered In the minutes
for future reference.
Santa Bedecked
In Black Robes
PITTSBURGH (API Santa
Claus wore a jet black robe Tues
day.
Gray-white wisps of hair re
ceded from his forehead. Black
rimmed glasses framed eyes twin
kling at the piping chatter of
little voices in the usually quiet
and dignified courtroom.
That's not the usual description
of Santa, but Judge A. L. Wolk
personified the part as he legally
delivered 38 lively children from
8 months to 17 years of age to
their, adoptive parents, just in
time tor Christmas.
Y ork City, said id a statement
The federal' mediators have
asked both sides the publishers
of the nine struck newspapers and
the striking drivers not to dis
close the issues under discussion
in today's session.
Ihe publishers are going a)onc
with the mediators suggestion in
the interest of a settlement." i
No joint sessions were held
Tuesday. The publishers and the i
deliverers met separately with the
mediators.
It is understood that union ne
gotiators, under Ihe pressure of
membership demands, are placing
emphasis on a 35-hour week, im
proved vacations, a ninth annual
paid holiday and a sick leave provision.
The publishers have offered a
$7-a-week increase spread over
two years, plus fringe benefits.
The offer was rejected by the un
ion membership.
The deliverers basic pay under
a contract which expired Dec. 7
was $103.80 for a 40-hour week.
The nine newspapers, the Times,
Herald Tribune, Daily News, Mir
ror, Journal American, World
telegram and Sun, Post, Long Is
land Daily Press and Long Island
Star-Journal, shut down Dec. 11.
Newsstands are virtually bare
of papers. Radio and television
broadcasts are trying to fill the
news vacuum.
The city's newspaper industry
has lost, more than 20 million dol
lars in Christmas advertising rev
enues, as well as circulation reve
nues and wages to 15.000 idled
nonstriking newspaper employes.
About 5,000 other employes are
at work on standby duties.
The Newsdealers Assn. of Great
er New York pleaded with both
sides- to settle the dispute.
William Richter, lawyer for the
newsdealers, urged a resumption
of publication even without an end
to the strike. He said papers would
be delivered "by taxis, private ve
hicles and on the backs of news
dealers, if necessary."
