Miles, California Division of Highway! district en gineer, and Trinity County offi cials and set up a policy for i. five-year road program designed to open up southwest Siskiyou tim ber resources for exploitation and Itnlfina tha rnnntv tn rprreal innal -iini,,A .. j use of Trjnity Lake. Placed at the top oi the prior ity list of the five-year program 'was the grading and surfacing of mountain-crossing Etna - Callahan road, a vital timber road linking western Siskiyou with central Sis kiyou mills. In cooperation with the Trinity County Board of Supervisors, the Siskiyou board gave its stamp of approval for a full speed ahead policy for completion of federal aid to Route 1089. expected to link the soon-to-be completed Tri nity Reservoir with Callahan and the rest of Siskiyou County by way of the Scott Mountain within the next five years. According to Melvin E. Dale, Trinity County's road commission er, nine miles of 1088 north of Trinity Cave has been completed, besides a portion from Trinity Mill to Swift Creek, now under construction by the Bureau of Pub lic Roads, Dale further stated lhat he an ticipates the completion of the road to Coffee Creek in Trinity by 1961, which would leave only a 17-mile gap to the proposed terminus of Siskiyou County's por tion of the road at Scott Moun tain. He also said that they could not tell when they would reach the top of the mountain, but fig ured it would be in five or six years. At present, according to the road commissioner, the road Is passable, and will be available much sooner than anticipated, since the entire length of the road will be improved to some extent within the next two years. Present at Tuesday's meeting was an Eagle Creek rancher, James Lee, who expressed con siderable interest in seeing the road completed since he did a .large amount of buying of grain and other commodities in Scott Valley. He also stated that he had made the drive from his ranch lo cated six miles north of Carrvillc in Trinity County to Yrcka in 1 hour and 40 minutes.

In the report given by Al Pow ers, Siskiyou County road com missioner, top priority in the county's five-year program would go to grading and surfacing the seven-mile Gazelle-Callahan road. The Ktna-Callahan highway be tween Etna and Fay Lane has priority for 1!K9, under the fed eral aid program, followed by sur lacing of about two and three quarters miles of the same road between Callahan and Dredger Camp. Powers also listed that a 60-foot bridge over Yreka Creek on Ober lin road near Yreka is scheduled for 1959, also surlacing of 13 miles of State Line Highway between Highway 97 and While Lake, near Tulclake. Plans for 1960 includes surfac ing of five miles of Oberlin Road, from Yreka to the Shasta River, as well as grading and surfacing of about four and a half miles of the East-West road between Tule lake and Hill roads. Bridge work planned by the road department is to be divided between a 300-foot bridge at Lost River in the Tulclake area and grading of six miles ol Scott Moun tain Road between Callahan and the Trinity County line set for 196 1.

Haunted by the new Soviet caml paign against their isolated city, many were putting extra touches of gaiety into their celebrations. Thousands of other Germans from the historic Rhine in the West to the disputed Oder in the East streamed into the city for a special reunion with loved ones. This year, East Germany's Communist regime has made it much harder to get in and out of East Germany itself, so divided families were using Berlin as a meeting point. West Berlin city officials esti mated that about 80,000 West Ger mans were already in their part of the city or were en route The three Western airlines that fly the 110-mile route from West Germany put on extra flights. Special trains and extra buses were running. Bishop Otto " Dibelius, titular head of Germany's big Evangel ical (Lutheran) Church, sharply attack the Eastern government in a special Christmas statement Dibelius said his wish for 1959 is: "That the sys tem of lorce under which the Eastern part of Germany suffers will fall away at last and that the pepple who live there will once again be given the elementary human right to have freedom and self-determination." West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt in his' Christmas statement said his city knows "the new year will bring many a test lor us." But he added he is convinced that "the courage and attitude of the Berliners will remain the same during the new year." In East Berlin. Communist Dep uty Mayor Waldemar Schmidt is sued a statement which fell oa unconvinced ears In West Berlin. Said Schmidt: "What a happy Christmas holiday West Berliner! would have before them if the constructive suggestions ol the Soviet Union were accepted."
