Knife Toter Given Term DUNSMUIR The arrest of Dave Thiery, 20, McCloud, at the Mt Shasta Ski Rowl early last Satur day morning for illegal possession of alcohol and brandishing a wea pon brought about a chain reac tion that involved three Dunsmuir youths and possibly others. Thiery was given 100 days in Siskiyou County Jail by Judge John Kinstrey of Mount Shasta aft er being found guilty of possessing a switch blade knife and cans of beer. Thiery's hearing implicated Ronald Ake, 18, Dunsmuir. Quantities of beer and empty beer cans were found in Ake s apart ment, which he rented recently after getting a job here. Ake was found guilty in Dunsmuir Justice Court Monday of illegal posses sion of liquor and providing liquor for minors. Judge A. A. Smith sentenced him to 180 days in the Siskiyou County Jail, $100 fine and two years probation and suspend ed the jail sentence. Two juvenile companions of Ake were certified to juvenile court and police are continuing invest! gation of the case. Also in Dunsmuir Justice Court, John Kirlcy, Gazelle logger, was fined $25 Monday for having' no fire extinguishers on machinery used in a fire danger area and taking no precautions to prevent forest fire. Kirley, working east of Dunsmuir, was responsible for a small fire extinguished by the U.S. Forest Service last week. Harry R. Curtis, 20, Dunsmuir, is serving five days in the Duns muir jail after being found guilty of hubcap theft at Rodley Mo tors last Saturday. Curtis was giv en the option of paying a $25 fine. but elected to serve the sentence Board Asks Sheriff Post YREKA Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors has recom mended to Gov. Edmund G Brown that Siskiyou County Sher iff A. B. Cottar be named to a proposed nine-man commission to formulate standards and training for law enforcement officers. The board called Cottar emi nently qualified to serve and said he would be an invaluable aid to the performance of the commis sion. Cottar said AB 1448 is an en abling legislation which would per mit cities and counties to promote a program of training for police men. The program will be supported by a five per cent assessment on all criminal fines, excluding traf fic fines. One-half the expenses will be paid by the state, the other half by the participating county or city. Cottar was first elected sheriff of Siskiyou County in 1950.

About FRENCH ALPINIST Julian Quemerais, ski instructor at Mount Shasta Ski Bowl, halfway up the slopes of the bowl, points out the loose surface of Thumb Rock to the west.

(UPD Life guards killed a 10-foot hammer head shark Tuesday in the gen eral area where sharks have kil led one skindiver and attacked another. Bob Shea, 21, and Edward Webb, 22, made the kill several hundred yards oft Wind 'n' Sea Beach by catching the sea .mons ter on a baited line and then dragging it backwards through the water until it drowned. It was the first shark kill by lifeguards since they were as signed to patrol the area where Robert Pajnperin was killed by a shark last June 14 and another skindiver was attacked a short time later. But another hammerhead shark, a nine-footer, was killed by a skindiver in the general area last week alter it menaced him and a friend for 20 minutes. WATER CONSUMPTION iytOPS YREKA Charles Cooley, Yreka city councilman, reports water consumption for last week was 120,000 gallons less than the pre vious week, permitting the north well to' rest for a period to give it a chance to recover. The Boston shaft is being pumped more hea vily and has dropped about one and a half feet. Water regulations are being enforced under City Or dinance 75. in an effort to con serve water until the fall rains. MOUNT SHASTA-The glaciers on Mt. Shasta are relatively stable despite evidences of breakup and runoff experienced this summer, the hottest summer in over 30 years, mountain experts state. Julian Quemerais, French alpin ist and ski instructor at the Mt. Shasta Ski Bowl, climbed to the saddle of Mt. Shasta this past week where he could observe both Whitney glacier on the northwest slope of the mountain and Kon wakiton, the glacier that is sub ject to periodic concern on the southeast slope. "The glaciers are stable, Que merais said, "it is the mountain that is unstable." In explaining the latter statement,- Quemerais said most glaciers rest on granite slopes of mountainsides and Mt. Shasta is not granite, much of it is loose volcanic rock subject to slippage. "A glacier is not inert," he ex plained, noting those unfamiliar with glaciers are often alarmed by the obvious motion particularly around the glacier s perimeter. In hot weather, the glacier's edges slough off with resultant mud run off and rock slides but Quemerias said the ice masses of the gla cier remain relatively unaffected. Harry Watkins of McCloud, who submits data on glacial conditions on Mt. Shasta to the Internation al Geodetic Committee, was more reluctant to discuss current condi tions on the mountain, as he ex plained he had not yet begun his annual treks to Konwakiton. "I usually begin my observa tions and picture taking late in August," Watkins said, "and con tinue into October or as long as weather permits." Watkins said he doesn't antici pate much change this year des pite the light snowfall last win ter and the extreme temperatures this summer. Watkins doesn't be lieve the heavy snowpack built up in the winter of 1957-58 has dissipated. Watkins said he is no expert on glaciers. He explained that he has taken comparative photo graphs of Konwakiton glacier for a number of years and submits these and other data he gathers to Oliver Kehrlein of San Francisco, the expert of Sierra glaciers, who in turn submits data to the Inter national Geodetic Committee. "I'll know more about how the summer affected Konwakiton gla cier in uctober." Watkins said Forest Aide Lauds Youths HAPPY CAMP-The best firs prevention people in the world are kids, says John Casperson, fire prevention officer in the Yu- konom District along the Klann ath River. So far this year there have been no forest fires in this district be cause of the alert interest of his Junior Rangers, boys from 5 to 17 years old, organized about four months ago. Casperson holds fre quent meetings, with w i e n e f roasts, baseball games and camr ing trips. And he teaches- them the fundamentals of fire safety in tin woods. Even the youngest of the boys report findings of lighted cigar ettes thrown along the roads, matches still burning, or note the lack of spark arresters on cats, and smoldering campfires left by the public. James Beard, a 9-year-old ol Somes Bar, put out a fire by him self July 18, which he discovered starting in another district. Casperson. whose headquarters are at the Ti Bar Ranger Station 27 miles down the river from Happy Camp is popular at ths one-room local school where Roll Miller is teacher.
