The company has transferred its main office from Etna to Fort Jones as part of its million dollar expansion and improvement pro gram. The modern building will house offices of company officials, a switchboard for long distance calls, and main dial system equip ment. The main reception-business office will be enlarged to include the room now used for the switch hoard which is presently serving the community. A modern lounge for telephone operators is still to be completed. The business office in Fort Jones is only a small part of the Cxpan- Summit Meet Continued from Page 1) feller could do as -well as Eisen hower did in the South. The President touched off round of laughter by asking the reporter whether he had any can didates other than Nixon and Rockefeller. There are other pos sible GOP candidates, Eisenhow er said. Foreign aid The President plugged anew for the admimstra lion's 13,930,000,000 foreign aid program He brought up that sub ject himself, and noted that hear ings on the program are getting under way before congressional committees. The program, he said, is de serving of real support by every one who is concerned with nation, al security. It is not' a partisan program, he added, but is based rather on . need, logic and good sense. Approval of the program. El senhower went on. would contrib ute to the free world battle to lessen international tensions, and would mean some advancement toward peace.' Eisenhower was told there is. some belief that he has been too timid in trying to develop support! for the program. A newsman also said there is some belief that loo much of the foreign aid money is being ear marked for military assistance. Eisenhower replied that each time he has recommended an aid program it has been cut down by Congress. ' He also said a large portion or the military aid goes to help hold such pjaccs as Korea and Formo sa. Eisenhower also noted that a study committee he appointed had recommended that more money be set aside for military aid abroad. . ' Experts Say Sun Brighter FLAGSTAFF, Am. (AP) For five years the sun has been get- tings brighter says a team 01 Lowell Observatory astronomers. They said Monday the sun is 2 pef cent brighter now than when they started a study five years ago. Harold Johnson, head of the project, said the brightness prob ably moves in cycles and may decrease. "But we are not sure now," he said. "Our studies will have to continue at least six more years for a definite answer." The astronomers agreed there is no danger of the earth or oilier planets being reduced to ashes. But what if the brightness in crease continues? In 50 years the iun will be twice as bright as now. one astronomer said. What would that mean lo man kind: "Don't ask me," Johnson said. More brightness does not neces sarily mean an increase in energy or heat produced by the sun, Johnson said. This, however, the astronomers said, needs more study.

Siskiyou Telephone Company has been driving' toward dial service since the end of the war. The company is in the process of installing a "line-of-sight" long distance system between Etna, tort Jones, Happy Camp, Ham burg and Yreka. This system uses radio microwave transmitters and receivers instead of telephone wire. A series of reflectors located atop towers are spaced at inter vals between transmitters. From these reflectors high frequency ra dio waves are bounced to receiv ing stations. The system is similar to radar, from which it may be said to be a linear descendant. Microwave transmission eliminates possible in terrupted service resulting from damaged lines. Mould a power failure occur in the transmitter. auxiliary batteries automatically go into operation, reducing chance of interrupted service to one in 10,000. Noise and static often encoun tered in toll calls also will be reduced if .not eliminated. In a community in southern Cali fornia, noise was completely elim inated and callers often thought lines were dead. This situation caused a telephone company to add artificial noises to telephones to eliminate such confusion. Color phones will be available to subscribers. Beige, yellow and turquoise head the list of orders so far placed in the area. Pink, blue, gray, green, white, red and ivory telephones also are avail able, in addition to black. Phones for the hard-of-hearing. phones with luminous dials, and several other types are available to cus tomers. In Fort Jones, Siskiyou Tele phone has included a "fireman's phone" as a service to the com munity. All firemen are connect ed to a "fire number." When this number is dialed, every fireman's telephone rings a continuous ring, signifying a fire call. A special button located on the instrument sets off the city fire siren; this button cannot be used unless a fire call has been placed, thus eliminating possibility of ac cidentally setting off the siren. Should a fireman s phone be in use at the time of a fire call, a busy signal automatically inter rupts the conversation, signalling a fire call. This "fireman's phone" will speed up the response to fires and will notify all the firemen at the same time. Siskiyou Telephone is giving a streamlined look to its local lines. A single cable is in the process of installation. The cable will re place the multitude of wires for merly strung between poles. The cable is not only easier to look at, but reduces the . chances of damaged lines. Ihe company was established in 1896. Today it serves 850 subscrib ers in western Siskiyou County. although demands for service will increase subscribers to nearly 1400 when conversion is made. The dial equipment is capable of ac commodating many limes that number of customers. Siskiyou Telephone has the distinction of having the largest investment per subscriber and the most miles of line per subscriber in Calilornia. In November formal oncn house and cut-over ceremonies are slat ed in Fort Jones. At this time all areas served by the company will suddenly get dial service and fast er, more convenient telephoning.

Edmund G. Brown ended cross- filing today by signing a bill re pealing the 46-year-old election law. Starting with the primary elec tion in 1960. Republicans will vote only for Republican candidates and Democrats will vote only for Democrats. In the November run offs, of course, voters still will have the right to vote for candi dates from cither party. No longer will a candidate for statewide office be able to file on both the GOP and Democratic pri mary tickets and no longer will it be possible for a candidate to capture both nominations and win election in a primary. The bill bars any candidate from a party primary who has not been registered as a member of that party at least three months before filing for office. The administration rated the repeal of cross-filing second only to creation of a Fair Employment Practices Commirsion in im portance. An FEPC law was' ap proved two weeks ago. The governor said that cross- filing served a useful purpose back in the pre-World I days of Hiram Johnson because it was "designed to break the hold of special inter ests on both parties." But the Democratic governor in sisted that today it is important lo restore maximum control of both parties to the voters, to pro vide direct responsibility based on party performance and campaign promises. Assemblyman William A. Mun- ncll. Democratic State Central Committee chairman, sponsored Brown's cross-filing repealer. It passed the Assembly 49-ZJ and the Senate 22-15. Most of the op College History Students Journey To Fort Bidwell ALTURAS-Studcnts of the Chi- co State College extension class in Northern California history and their instructor, Ernest Neasham of Redding, faculty member of Shasta College, made a field trip on Saturday morning, May 2, from Alluras to Fort Bidwell. The first stop was made at Chimney Rock near Alturas. This rock served as the chim ney of a pioneer home erected by Thomas Denson, uncle of Thomas A. Denson' who operates a hard ware store in Alturas.

' Mrs. Helen Foulke of Yreka will give a report on the California His torical Foundation Institute held at the College of Pacific in Stock ton. Mrs. Pat French of Yreka, the new secretary treasurer of the so ciety and author of the Nuggets, also mentioned that Ashley Rus sell's book, "The Siskiyou Trail." win oe on me press on June 22. Russell, now a resident of Port- land, was born and raised in reka. Also noted in the bulletin was the item that the first newspaper puousnea in tne county was print ed at Scott Valley 100 years ago. It was, called "The Mirror." OPEN HOUSE HELD TULELAKE Students of Tule- lakc Elementary School held onen House recently at the close of pub lic school week. Parents visited class rooms from 7:30 to 8:30 and viewed the work their children had accomplished. The (ir,t grade inrougn tne lourth grade resented several dances and sonii and the fourth grade, under the direction of Mrs. Lucille Coyncr. closed the evening with a Maypole dance. "A IIT OF 24 it. 6th 'Hi a k 1 position came from Republican legislators. Much or the impact of cross filing was reduced by a "measure approved by the voters in 1952 which provided that party labels would appear on the ballot alter the name of each candidate. That measure was put on the ballot to oflset an initiative to re peal cross-filing. Sponsored by the Democrats,' the cross-filing re pealer failed in 1952 by a margin of less than 4,000 votes. However, the addition of party labels on the ballot resulted in I ewer candidates winning both party nominations in the primary. Other developments: Bills: Monday was the final day for introducing bills without sus pending the Constitution. A tally showed a total of 3,364 measures introduced in the Assembly and 1.710 in the Senate for a grand total of 5.074 since the session started last January. Milk: Assemblyman Carl A. Britschgi iR-Redwood City) intro duced a highly controversial bill to repeal the minimum retpil and wholesale prices for milk. Under his proposal, the producer still would have his price set by state law but other prices would be un regulated. Labor: Browns program for real labor gains in the field of unemployment and disability in surance benefits and workmen's compensation made progress in an Assembly committee. The major bill approved by Finance and In surance would boost the maximum unemployment insurance pay ments from $40 to $56 a week. Development: The Senate voted 30-2 in favor of an administration bill to create an economic devel opment agency to encourage new business to come to California. New Pine Creek met the class at a designated spot overlooking boose Lake and its immigrant trail crossing and continued to the bronze marker on Fandango Pass. This marker was obtained through Dr. Aubrey Neasham. un cle of the instructor, through the efforts of the Alturas Parlor of the Native Daughters of The Gold en West in recent years. Dr. Nea sham is chairman of the Califor nia Beaches and Parks Commis sion. Mrs. Irma Laird of 'Alturas. as a member of the historical markers committee of the Native Daughters, assisted the Alturas Parlor in arranging ceremonies for the dedication. During the stopover in Fort Bid- well, site of an old military post and Indian school, the class was given an examination after lunch. Henry Kober whose store holds a wealth of museum type articles was visited. Walter Lowell, anoth er merchant, directed the class to some historic points maintained by the pioneer families he is descend ed from.

TU -60 State Division Of Highways Makes Changes In Freeway DUNSMUIR In cpnstruction of tho new freeway between Duns- muir and Redding, plans of the State Division of Highways made two short river channel changes necessary at Sims, 13 mile's south of Dunsmuir, and at Castle Crags, four miles south of Dunsmuir. Studies by both the Division of Highways and Southern Pacific developed that a joint project in cluding relocation of the railroad could be entered into with greater benefits' to both parties than en gaging in separate projects. Therefore under an agreement between the railroad and the state, Southern Pacific will arrange to move, the channel and do the neces sary grading for the railroad road bed and the river channel. Work is to 1 start Monday and Morrison Knutson Construction Company has been awarded the contract. They are establishing headquarters in Dunsmuir.

Britschgi said the fight is over Patient Flees SF Hospital SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) An intensive police search was or dered here today for a "danger ous" mental patient who .Monday escaped from a bailiff at the Hall of Justice as he was being taken 10 nis jail cell. Chief Thomas Cahill ordered the all-out effort after he learned the escapee, Landrow Taylor, 36, had a long record of assault arrests in' New York, Pennsylvania and Michigan. It was also discovered that Tay lor, a self-styled artist, escaped a year ago from a veterans hospital in Battle creek, Mich., where he had been transferred from a state mental institution. Taylor walked away as bailiff Angelo Balla was taking him and six other prisoners into an eleva tor on the second floor. , The former mental patient was arrested here April 11 for vagran cy and carrying concealed knives and had just been sentenced to six months on the latter charge by Municipal Judge Andrew J. tyman. When the escape was discovered a police radio bulletin went out warning Taylor "should be consid' ered dangerous." Cahill said he would confer with executive law enforcement officers today about the escape and about why no hold order was placed on Taylor for Michigan authorities when he was first arrested.

Freeway, roadbed grading by tha division of highways will be s u b ject to relocation of the river chan nel. At present the railroad cross es the Sacramento River twice at Sims and twice at Caste! Crags with the river between the rail, road and the highway. After con struction the new freeway will be about 100 feet above the railroad and both will be on the same side of the river. The Castel Crag project involves relocation of about 1,500 feet of river channel eastward and anoth er 1500 feet westward at the op posite end of the change. In other words, a bow in the river will be eliminated and this straighten ing of the river will eliminate high water dangers to the railroad and the freeway during the heavy spring runoffs. ' ' Engineers estimate that 120,000 cubic yards of material will be needed to straighten the channel at these two points. War Looming a measure by Assemblyman Car. Icy V. Porter (D-Compton) which would eliminate special low milk rates at drive-in stores and require them to charge regular - retail rates. The first major hearing on the measure is scheduled Wednesday before the Assembly Livestock and Dairies Committee. Britschgi said he feels the issue cannot be resolved in the Porter hill, although he called it "the big farm bill of the year" and said it is being lobbied heavily by farm groups, distriDUtors ana retailers. If the drive-ins win ana keep their lower prices, Safeway and a few others will set up their own drive-in stores, sell at . cut rates to meet- competition and get us in to a beautiful milk war," Britsch gi said. It it goes tne oiner way ana the retailers win, we will have the worst lawsuit you ever saw" filed by the drive-ins, he said. To settle the light, Britscngt Monday introduced a bill to re peal the Desmond milk price law and to eliminate the fight by cut ting out the minimum prices. He said the measure would not affect prices paid to dairymen un der the so-called Young Act, but it would eliminate wholesale and retail minimum prices, throwing the market into free competition. Under the Desmond Act, we eventually are going to run all the little operators out of business anyway," he said. Britschgi formerly owned Occi dental Creamery at Redwood City, which he sold to Carnation Milk Co., and owns a dairy at Man teca which he is in the process of selling.
