VAGKM HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath FaUi, Ora. Friday, Jaauary IS, 1961 Weather To Determine Phone Line Completion FORT ROCK-Wcather Is likely to be the major factor in deter mining the completion date for telephone service to North Lake County, according to H. C Weise of Salem, splicing foreman for Pacific Telephone Northwest. Telephone service by the first of June can be expected unless heavy snow -deters work. Work was ereatly expedited a few days last - week when the weather warmed. A 61-dcgree maximum was recorded in the period. Aerial lines take off at the old Bob Neal place, two miles east of the rest area atop Horse Ranch Hill. Eight contractors have been distributing materials on the job. New Bomber Gets Tests WICHITA, Kan. (AP)-A 245. Ion, swept-wing B25G plane took off today with models of four new Ekybolt nuclear missiles under its Wings. It was the first aerial lest of what Boeing Airplane Co., the bomber builder, calls "the most powerful, most mobile weapon system in the free world, If not m the entire world." Officials said the plane, fully instrumented to check the stresses on the wing structures, the 30-foot dummy missiles and the pylon holding them under the wings, was to be in the air five to six hours. It was to cruise at various speeds and altitudes over several Midwest states... When the Skybolt missiles be come operational, early in 1964, they can extend the striking range of the Strategic Air Command BS2 more than 1,000 miles beyond its own 10,000 miles-plus flying range. Two Nominated To Heed Group VREKA John Jenott, current president of the Siskiyou County Employes Association, was nomin ated for , president as was Clay Simpson during a meeting of the organization in the superior court Jury room- be re Friday. Other officer! nominated were Ken Bley, vice president; Mrs, - Betty Pitman, secretary, and Mrs, Helen Solus, treasurer. . Also Dominated were IB mem bers ; to the board of directors. . Election of officers will be by secret ballots, which are to be mailed to members. Also during the Friday session, approval was given to an addi tional .optional insurance policy. The additional insurance plan of- , fered to association members is lor life and disability coverage, - The current policy covers only health and accident. Approval by the board of directors is required for the proposed .plan. and six men have been at con struction work. During favorable weather nine-hour days and six- day weeks are expected to help balance the less favorable work ing conditions. Placing of guy wires follows closely behind the setting of an chors. A screw-type anchor being used. Working in frozen ground requires . boring with "Hugh Williams"- digger to start the anchor but during the warm period this was unnecessary- Only a few anchor holes have required blasting. , Trial of a. new piece of equip ment will be a feature of this job, Weise reports. A new truck with boom and carriage, entirely hydraulic in operation, is expect ed to greatly expedite stringing wire. A workman will ride the carriage and be lifted by the boom, taking the wires over the crossarms and placing them, all without stopping. The sagging and transposing of lines will require considerable time. The complete crossover of wires at designated intervals is a very critical procedure. This cuts out cross-talk and static. Telephone lines will use Mid- state Electric Cooperative poles, with contacts to be made below the electric lines, by special agreement worked out between the utilities. Underground cable between a point two miles out of LaPine and the Neal place will bring service into the area. The com pany's cable layer will place the cable, probably sometime in March. The large diesel outfit will olow in the cable at a 24- inch depth for some 26 miles bor dering Highway 31. This will probably be accomplished in about week s time, according to me foreman. ' The automatic exchange will be housed in Silver Lake. Weise makes frequent contacts outside the area by mobile phone. He has found only one location favorable for reaching out suffi ciently for phone contact. This is on the gravel road which runs directly between Fort Rock and Silver Lake, Known as the Pitcher Lane. The "get-through" point is six miles out of Fort Rock. . m -V PHONE SERVICE in Fort Rock is coming close to reality as Pacific Telephone Northwest crewt chisel through the frozen earth to place utility poles and guy wires.

If the results are favorable, . the school will have been accredited by the FWCA as well as by the state Department of Education, said Dr. M. C. Greenshields, college president. Building Permit Total Up DUNSMUIR Building permit applications for 1960 rose over the 1959 total but estimated con struction dropped sharply from 1959 figures, according to a re port submitted by John Metzler, city building inspector. From Dec. 18, 1959, - to Dec. 31, 1960, there were 215 building permit applications representing $243,807 In estimated building costs and $1,233 remitted to the city In building permit fees. This represented six new homes and five motel units as well as a remodeling and other minor con struction, Metzler reported to the city council. In 1959, 167 building per mit applications were received representing an estimated con struction cost of $401,803 and $1,522 in fees were collected. Sev enteen new homes, one new church and a medical center were built In Dunsmuir In 1959. The rise in building permit ap plications can be explained in the new city policy of requiring building permit for any structural change or replacement to any property within the city limits. This measure was adopted to pro tect the city from substandard workmanship and to aid in keep ing tax assessments up to date. There has been a steady rise in the number of building per mit applications for the past five years. In 1956, there were 57 ap plications for a .total of $89,736 worth of construction; in 1957, 56 applications for $187,631; in 1958, 110 applications for $162,093' in estimated construction.- - -i CHAIN OF EVENTS ' TUCSON,' Ariz.

Come Out & Get Acquainted School Board Issues Terse Statement On Hazing DUN'SMUIR-A terse statement by members of Dunsmuir High School's Board of Trustees during a meeting Wednesday night leaves the action they took to clear a hazing incident almost completely a mystery. Members, following an execu live meeting, introduced this sentence: "Disciplinary action to the sat isfaction of the school board and superintendent was taken by the board in regards to a recent initiation by the Block D Society." Trustees declined further com ment. A board member read a portion of California's Brown Act before the board retired into an execu tive session from which the pub lic was barred. He also read a letter from Dis trict Attorney . Albert H. Newton Jr. recommending that the mat ter of the reported recent hazing be handled as an administrative problem rather than a criminal action. Severe hazing is forbidden by state law. The board had writ ten the district attorney request ing a clarification of proper pro cedure. The incident was generated In a meeting of the board in De cember when a local couple ap peared to report an alleged se vere paddling during recent initi ation ceremonies of the Block D Society, the high school's athletic honorary organization for men. The paddling apparently was viewed and encouraged or con doned by high school coach, Lynn Elliott, the couple reported. California's Brown Act States that meetings of public bodies must be kept open to the publte except when members of the body are discussing employment or dis. missal of people and other per. sonnel problems.
