These meetings were Intended to give Dorris citizens the oppor tunity to ask questions and re ceive answers.

If two-thirds of the voters approve the measure on Feb. 5, the city will be authorized to issue up to $110,000 In gen oral obligation bonds. The cost of the sewer system is estimated at $95,000 in federal funds, plus $110,000 from the city. An option on 30 acres of land at $500 per acre, or $15,000. has been obtained for $1 from Moun tain Valley Moulding Company, of which the former Dorris mayor, "Si" Cramer, is manager. Cra mer resigned as mayor to avoid a possible conflict of interest should the city buy his property. The council adopted a resolu lion setting the hookup fee at $35 after hearing engineer Pi emme's estimate of that figure, (councilmcn and previously ad vocated a $100 hookup fee). This is the service connection to the sew er main in the alleys from the sewer pipes laid from the houses by the property owners, who must nay the cost of ditches, pipe, and changing the plumbing. Piemme said four-Inch Orangeburg pipe at 30 cents a foot is cheapest. Should a property owner fail to hookup while the main system Is open, but wait until the sewer sys tem is covered and in operation, the cost could be $65 or more, The tax rale per $100 of as sessed valuation will be 24 cents for the first year, 26 cents for the second year, and 25 cents for the third. Thereafter it will run an average of 18 cents per year. In addition there will be a $1.50 monthly service charge. The coun cil said both the tax and the $1.50 service charge per month could be raised or lowered as the need arises. Tom Chatburn, speaking for United California Bank, said the bank has such confidence in the own and Its people that it wants to buy the $110,000 in sewer bonds, but will loan any local property owner the money for making his sewer hookup. "With a sewer system, he said, the bank will automatically ap praise property lor loan pur poses from $300 to $500 more than at present. Chatburn said the in terest would be as low as pos sible and the length of time to pay as long as possible. George B. Gentry said the wa ter in Dorris Is not now polluted and, unless the layers of hardpan rock beneath the surface is shat tered, is not likely to become polluted. The council agreed that no re lief in water bills and-or tax easements could he given to aged retired citizens by the council. Sewer service will be compul sory. The council adopted a res olution asking city attorney, Har ry Boivin, Klamath Falls, to pre pare an ordinance requiring all buildings to be connected to the sewer. If the bonds pass, within six months of the start of serv ice to allow plenty of time for those doing their own work. The council urged those pres ent at the meeting to talk to their neighbors and to ask them to vote (or the bond issue.

TU 4 JJ4J The light brown bread with natural whole grain goodness By BRUCE BIOSSAT Newspaper Enterprise Assn. WASHINGTON (NEA) - "The President is a politician from the time he gels up in the morning until he goes to bed at night." This comment by a top White House assistant draws almost no dissent from a host of aides and dozens of professionals in both ma jor parties. John F. Kennedy is seen by many as the most com plete political animal to occupy the White House in decades. Yet his key associates, and leading Democrats across the country, are quick to insist he does not practice politics at the expense of a proper exercise of statecraft or an understanding of government. Says a friend: "He is very much at home in politics. But he's just as much at home kicking the gong around with Walter Lippmann." Many Republicans naturally quarrel with the Democratic prop osition that the President never puts politics above the national interest. But this rarely affects their judgment of his skills. One GOP spokesman privately calls him a "superb politician." Acknowledging this. Republicans in the new Congress, neverthe less, are undertaking now a long campaign to "position the Presi dent to his disadvantage for 1964 The President knows the battle Is joined over issues like tax re duction, spending and medicare and is in turn trying to box In the GOP. To search out the ingredients in tiie political makeup of Ken nedy and those he has tied closely to him, this reporter talked with those intimates, with more de tached observers, and wilh lead ing professionals in some 25 states.

Roosevelt had his Jim Farley to muster support, Kennedy, in the words of Demo cratic national chairman John Bailey, "went the trail alone He gets on the telephone to lead ers like California's Gov. Edmund G. iPat) Brown or Chicago's May or Richard Daley usually not to talk strict politics but to ask things like: "How's the housing desegregation order going to af fect your area?" Kennedy savors the rich, com bative detail of politics. Aide Lawrence O'Brien says that often when the President has a free moment his mind seems to gravi tate naturally to political mat lers. He may recall an exciting turn in the presidential campaign: "Remember when we sat in a room with that guy and he said . . ,?" Or he may look to something new: "Now that the Republicans have the Pennsylvania state house, how is Bill Green (Phila delphia Democratic boss) going to get along without that state pa tronage? David Powers, aide, friend, and "court jester," says Kennedy for years has enjoyed hearing him recite again and again vote to tals which were significant mile stones in his career. The President's old favorite was the score he rang up in 1052 in his first Senate race against Re publican Henry Cabot Lodge. Now it s the small total which would have been enough to switch 50 electoral votes, and the elec tion, to Richard Nixon. Trying to impress some visitor with how tight things can be in this shades of gray era, Kennedy the political adviiers close to the President are Kennedy, and Theodore Sorensen, in conference.

Powers, who specializes in elec tion and baseball data, responds: "It was 12,236, Mr. President." When Kennedy jumped into poll tics in 1946, he was shy, uneasy. and by his brother Bobby's testi mony, "not very good' on remem bering names. He lias battled hard to improve. Now, insists Powers, "He's the best man on names we have around here The President's competitive in stincts, sharp enough to embar rass his Democratic foes in I960, seem not to have flagged wilh two years in the White House. Powers asserts: "He not only wants to win he waits all the votes!" There is nothing formalized or systematic in the President's at tention to politics. He keeps no lists of men to call regularly. Po litical conferences tend to be off- the-cuff affairs, stimulated by the presence of his political aides or the sudden arising of a problem. "He's not a regular bull ses sion guy,' says one Administra tion man. "That's not the Ken nedy style in politics or anything else." A high associate agrees, saying the President seldom sits down and says out loud: "This course is politically wise, and this is not." When the political mood is on him he acts al any hour. A few days before the 1962 election, an Eastern leader was marching in a city parade. He was lapped on the shoulder and told to get to a telephone for long-distance call from Washington. 'How're you doing?" asked the President. Professionals in both parties talk most about Kennedy's sense of timing, his mastery nf detail, his up-to-date grasp of political sit- The evening's program will be gin wilh a notluck supper at 6:30 p.m. Families of all "Y" mem bers are invited to come.

TELEVISION PERSONALITY I960 victory was aided by uations the nation over, his atten tion to small things, his ability to dramatize himself in what some observers call the "politics of per sonality." Republicans speak candidly of this latter talent. Painfully aware of the success of his recent tele vision interview, they abandoned their first impulse to demand equal time. Top aide and counsel ineodore C. Sorensen argues, too, that Un President is a great reader the public mood. In Sorensen's view, it is tnis more man any thing which explains Kennedy's celebrated appetite for stacks of daily newspapers. Everything, from the hottest lor eign policy crisis to a rivers and harbors bill has its political mean ing. All hands agree that Kenne day weighs this factor soberly at each turn. Though he seeks his aides' views on this matter, he frequently supplies his own an swers belore tne omers can speak. Keen as bis political interest is, the heavy demands of the presi dency keep him from getting into it on the scale he would like. For every state he has visited in the past two years, there are two or three clamoring lor his ap pearance. Mostly he has to fit politics into the small open spaces of his crowded day. The same is Brctty much true for his brother Bobby and his chief political assistants in I h e While House. Kenneth O'Donnell.

As the President embarks on the two-year buildup toward re nomination and "another election battle in 1964, this problem plagues him It was no smail factor in the decision to assign his able brother-in-law. Stephen Smith, to major party repair work in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michi gan and Washington. Smith's signal, given in the pres ence of Bobby Kennedy, was this presidential utterance: "We'd bet ter have a look at some of these states." For his aides say Kennedy does not share the glib confidence in his reelection which he often sees expressed in print. New York. Pennsylvania. Ohio. Michigan, Illinois and California all seem to him hard battle grounds, especially if New York's Rockefeller should be the GOP nominee. And he worries about new Southern defections stemming from the 1962 Ole Miss racial controversy. Toward 1964. therefore, he ex hibits the built-in caution of the practiced political piofessional. That, say all sources, is what he is. Excluilval Fait!
