Board Okays Resolution YREKA A resolution was adont ed by the Siskiyou County Board of supervisors, during a recent session placing their stamp of approval on Siskiyou County joining with Te hama, Shasta and Butte counties in the construction of a boys camp on Mt. Shasta for delinquent youths between the ages of 15 and 17, who are not in enough serious trouble to warrant them being placed wilh the California Youth Authority. Superior Judge James M. Allen and county Probation Officer Jess Brewer requested the resolution be adopted by the supervisors, stating that the camp would be an ideal place for the boys, and closer than any other site required. It was necessary that the resolu tion be made to assure a contribu tion of $36,000 toward the camp by the state. Siskiyou County has al ready budgeted $11,500 for the camp, and anticipates an annual expenditure of $2,700. Work will be provided for the youths at the camp by the U.S. For est Service.

(UPI) - Last May 29 the highest personage of the French republic, President Rene Coty, stood before a palpitating cnamber-lull oi deputies and in voked the name of Gen. Charles de Gaulle. There was a historic inevitability about it. The mobs were loose in the streets of Algiers, restive in the streets of Paris. Police leaves had been cancelled; the Champs-Ely- sees was an armed - camp.

The assembly eratefu v chose De Gaulle and the nation ratified this choice months later, in De Gaulle's constitutional referendum of Sept. 28, 1957, by an 80 per ceni vote lor mm. Yet 18 years earlier when De Gaulle broadcast his appeal to a prostrate franco on June 18. 1940. few Frenchmen had ever heard of him. "This war is not over wilh the battle of France," De Gaulle said then. This war is a world war. (An anonymous but wideawake publicist later changed this to "France has lost a battle; she has not lost the war.") De Gaulle went on. "everv Frenchman who still bears arms has the absolute duty of continu ing resistance. Soldiers of France wherever you are, arise!" frenchmen did arise, first bv me aozens, later oy the hundreds Ocean Floor Termed Rocky WASHINGTON (AP)-The floor of the Arctic Ocean may be as rugged as the Rocky Mountains, a scientist reported today.

Year, which ends Wednesday, It was made by geophysicist Kenneth Hunkins of Columbia Uni versity's Lamont Geological Lab oratory at a meeting of the Amer ican Assn. for the Advancement of Science.

Above the path taken by the sub marines, U.S. scientists floated on a wandering table of ice. Using echoes from explosions. Ihey charted the Arctic Ocean bot tom. They found a huge underwater plateau stretching from Ellesmere Island, the northernmost point of Canadian territory, to eastern Si beria. In the center, parts of this pi; teau come within 4,500 feet of the surface. On the sides, it drops to depths of 10.000 to 15.000 feet.
