Dids May Be Called Soon For Yreka Swimming Pool YREKA Plans and specifics tions for the proposed Binge Me morial Swimming Pool are far enough along that bids may be let by the end of January. That announcement was made to city councilmen by the city ' engineer, Oscar Piemme, during a meeting Thursday. Piemme said he has submit ted two sets of plans to a San Francisco firm for final approval. They should be returned within two weeks, he said. He predicted the pool will be built and ready for use by July 1. ; The pool has received some ; criticism, however. Councilman James E. Cummings said he doubted wisdom of building pool costing about $94,000 when only $86,000 is available for the project " Councilmen also criticized the ', project's rate of progress. The pool will be designed to : provide adequate space for com- . petition swimming, swimming and : lifesaving instruction, and gener- al recreation. It will be accom- : panied by a small pool for chil ; dren. ; . Councilman Harry Friedman re ; ported he hopes an artist's draw- ing of the pool will be prepared to give councilmen an idea of ; its final form, complete with , fences, shrubbery, dressing j Ski Bowl i Directors : Optimistic MOUNT SHASTA-An early ski : season and a profitable month of ; December were recently re- viewed by the board of directors ; of Mt Shasta Ski Bowl Corpora- i tion at a meeting. Exact figures for the month had not yet been compiled but this was the first year in the three year existence of the bowl that December offered good skiing. ; The response was very hearten fcig. Dave Rankine, ski bowl man ager, reported. Over 500 winter Sportsmen used the facilities each day of the final December week end, he said. Plans to purchase the Ski Bowl Lodge from Carl McConnell, the contractor who built it, are also progressing on schedule, the board learned. The 1.2O0 stockholders in the cor poration will be informed as soon as details of the new stock issue are complete, The five-day week at the bowl was decided upon by the board because Monday and Tuesday use of the facilities has been, very light in previous Januarys. This will also enable the staff to work on a five-day-week basis and elim inate overtime pay. Food service at the lodge has been limited to filling but inex pensive items. This policy has re sulted in more satisfied custo mers and more profit to the bowl, the directors were told. rooms, snack bar and parking lot. In other action, councilmen Ed Doyle and Cummings were ap pointed to a committee to study possibility of starting a bicycle licensing program. Probably, no fees would be required of bike owners. Licenses would serve only to identify bicycles and to regu late bicycle traffic. The license plan has the back ing of Chief of Police Henry T. Watson. He said the police de partment would then be able to meet bike owners, giving of ficers opportunity to determine whether riders are competent to ride on city streets. He added that a rider training program can be administered through the licensing program. City councilmen also learned that one company has offered to sell six-inch-diameter cast iron pipe for a new water main on South Oregon Street for $2.11 per loot Weird Glow Possibly Was Blaze MOUNT SHASTA-Sheriffs dep uties believe a weird glow in the mountains west of here one nieht last weekend may have been caused by a burning cabin near Castle Lake. Deputies and a Mount Shasta policeman combed the area by jeep Monday where the latter re ported spotting what appeared to oe a tire and explosion. They learned on their return that a University of California bi ology professor and' five students had been taken into the area and brought back out by the for est service recently. Otlicers speculated that the cab i in which the men staved ournea alter their departure. Dep uties pian no oiner trips to in vestigate, since no reports of downed aircraft have been re ceived. - GARY OIRDLER, insurance man, wet named Dunimuir'i "man-of-the-yeer" for I960, by the city's chamber of commerce recently.

"It Is the opinion of this com mittee, that the budgets for the city In recent years have been so loosely drawn as to give no prac tical restriction on the city offi cers," a committee report said, - Five more reports will be issued in the next two weeks, on services and personnel, police and fire 'protection, streets and traffic, recreation and parks and a final study on all recommendations, The reports will be submitted to the City Council.

Southern Siskiyou County did not get a stork derby organized this year. seeking support of a building pro gram at College of the Siskiyous has been sent to one thousand registered voters within the col lege district, Dr. H. A. Meredith confirmed today, Replies to the questionnaire by enclosed stamped postcard will give the board some estimate of public reaction to a proposal to launch a $1,375,000 building pro gram. The original college buildings, constructed with an accumulated reserve built up in the two-year period before the college opened for full-time students, were d signed for 200 students and are now being used to capacity, Dr. Meredith explained. Enrollment is expected to rise to 400 to 500 students within the Three Killed By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Three persons were killed in separate traffic accidents in Ore gon over the weekend, increasing the state's traffic toll this month to 14. Steven W. Swank, 14, was killed on the southwest outskirts of Portland as he walked along a road Saturday. Ruth llcne Trcanor, 19, Port land, died in the wreckage of her car as it ran off a road on the southeastern outskirts of Portland and crashed into a tree about midnight Saturday. . In Central Oregon William Sloan Cox, 45, Madras, was killed when his car skidded and over turned near Redmond early Sun day. a gymnasium, a library, a cafe teria, a dormitory and additional administration buildings are need ed. A 20-year bond issue based on a tax of 18 cents per $100 assessed valuation will raise the necessary funds and this matter will pos sibly be put to the voters soon, college officials believe. The $1,375,000 estimate for the building costs includes a 15 per cent allowance for rises in con struction costs and includes equip ment and furnishings for the build ings. Dr. Meredith assured. He said the present state allot ment of $350 annually per stu dent based on average daily at tendance plus the present district tax is expected to handle admin istration, faculty and supply costs. Building costs are the only expenses that cannot be met from current income, he said.
