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. .

Accrediting
Team Visits
WEED An accreditation team
of six men from Far Western
College Association is in Weed
this week reviewing and studying
qualifications of the College of
the Siskiyous faculty, curriculum
and facilities and financial sta
bility. . ,
Results of their report will be
mulled by a higher commission
of the FWCA and announced
in three months. 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

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.
