Squires, special assistant tothe director of the burcau of the Census, has provided Congressman Bizz Johnson detailson how the census will be conducted. conducted. The second Congressional District will be divided into two' parts, northern and southem. The Southern office is at 315 Lincoln Street in Roseaoa Wednesday, February 24, 1960. Among the most dedicated nd the most expert of the many volunteers at theVIII Olympic Winter Games will be the 85 National Ski Patrol} men and 64 Alpine Course ‘Police who willbe on duty at all alpine and nordic events throughout the Games. This will be the first time m either function has been performed by volunteers at an Olympic event, and to make i} sure the job is done right an elite group of highly trained Wat «6Skiershasbeen selected from all corners of the country. The patrol group includes mo less than ten doctors, as well asa cross-section of lay‘men who normally work in such diverse jobs as a ski in* structor, fireman, brick layer,
airplane pilot, welder, lawyer, and even a professional underwater photographer. Both Patrolmen and Course Police come from every corner of the country, even including one man from snowless Mississippi. The Patrol group was drawn from a list of three hundred specially-qualified volunteers submitted by regional offices of the National Ski PatrolSystem. Average age of the group is thirty seven } years, but between them they # years of skiing experience represent a total of 1,463 and 803 years of ski patrol work, In addition to the normal #4 Qualifications of skiing proficiency and advanced firstaid knowledge, 64 of the Patrolmen have had special training in winter mountaineering and rescue work, 69 have hadsummer mountaineering and rescue experience, and 77 have had avalanche training. The basic function of the patrol is to handle all firstaid andrescue work required! by competitors, officials and spectators alike at all six alpine courses, onthe jumping hill and in the McKinney creek cross-country and bia' thlon area, Inthe event of an avalanche V4 \ anywhere in Squaw Valley, a specially-trained crew will work with the permanent U.S. Forest Service snow safety crews to rope off and clear danger areas and effect any rescue work that may be required. If skiers become lost or indates that would plague them if their Jutedoutside of the regularlynames were revealed. Therefore, their names shallever remain a secret in Elks annals. AMONG THE MANY WHO SERVED the 542 guests at the Elks Charity Ball were (from left toright) Harold Hoar, Mark Bagley, Mrs. Mark Bagley, Mrs. John Phelan and Mrs. Carl Beyer. patrolled areas a second specially «trained mountain rescue unit will be dispatched asasearch party. And in the unlikely event that a chairlift breaks down with skiers on it, the patrol has sling and bosun's chair equipment ready to lower the stranded skiers to safety. Ski Patrol And Alpine Police Safeguard Olympic Contestants ’ A special ski patrol telephone network has been in-. stalled to tie in every area where competitive events will be held, giving Chief Patrolman Emil Christensen complete flexibility in moving histeams from place to place as they are.,needed. In the event of a real emergency, all eighty-five men with thirty-seven toboggans could be assembled in one spot, but under normal operating conditions the maximum number of patrolmen in any one place will be seventy five. This willbe during the men's downhill on Squaw Peak, ‘the longest and potentially the most hazardous ofthe alpine courses. When this event isover, most of the personnel and equipment will be moved to the other courses, but enough patrolmen and toboggans willbe left behind to take care of the needs of recreational skiers. While the ski patrol's basic concern will be rendering first-aid to the injured and getting them to medical help, the sixty four alpine course policemen will control the movement and handling of spectators, officials andcompetitors on the six downhill and slalom courses, both on race days and on the scheduled practice days preceding them. Chief of the volunteer course police willbeLt. Col. Ed Link, professor of military science and tactics on leave of absence from Wentworth Military Academy of Lexington, Missouri. Like the ski patrol, the course police have beenyassembled from all over the country, paying not only their own transportation but their own living expenses while at Squaw Valley. (Housing for both groups has been provided in the Tahoe elementary school.) Colonel Link himself is experienced in ski area management, having served as Sports director at the Garmisch military recreation area from 1947 to 1950. He also won the military alpine combined ski championships in each of those years. At Squaw Valley Link's major concren will be crowd handling and control, and his main tools forthe job will be some 20, 000 feet of rope and snow fencewith which he will line both sides of each of the tacecourses, Whena race is in progress all spectators and press will be behind these barriers, and members of the course police, identifiable by their bright yellow parkas and grey caps, will patrol the entire length of the course to make sure no one strays out, side the ropes. (Continued from page 1) ® ational development might well be aided through special appropriations made for the purpose bythe state legislature, or through other ‘Means. "You could not ex. pect a farmer, downstream who buys irrigation water to s be happy about paying for ij someone else's recreation upstream, " Koster said. Koster added that certain project . areas might be suitable for a . state park. . NiD—Recreation keep from fluctuatind during , the summer months, by planning releases from these lakes in the winter. The huge Rollins Reservoir above Chicago Park, which could eventuaHy be constructedto hold 90, 000 acre-feet of water, will probably fluctuate to a greater extent but will also be suitable for recreation. 8. If.reservoirs are to be open to swimming, a downstream chlorinating program will have to be devised. To satisfy health authorities. 7. Many of the proposed project reservoirs will be well suited to recreation, especially some of the upstream, high mountain lakes such asJackson, French, Faucherie, and Weaver lakes, which the NID will be able to ville with Mr. Ford Marshall as district supervisor. These officesopened late last month, Mr. Marshall's staff will consist of eight crew leaders and 128 “enumerators. " The enumerator isthe person responsible for actual taking of the census, tallying up the information on about 1,000 or 1,200 in their own immediate area. ‘They will be the ones actually visiting the homes. Pieceworkrates, Mr. Squires informs me, should earn enumerators about $12 per day for from one to four weeks full time work. Each crew leader trains and supervises 15 to 20 enumetators. Crew leaders are paid about $15.50 a day for full time work lasting four to eight weeks, Others involved inthe monumentaltask of taking a census included the office staffs. Crew leaders are being selected and trained now. Next month the enumerators will be recruited and trained. Crew leaders will start work in about a month. Sefection of enumerators will be completed by March 25th and the last two days of the month will be spent in their training. All personnel will be tested and hired directly by the dis~ trict offices. 15 enumerators will be employed in Nevada County. Gold Center Club Is Renovated A pleasant surprise is in store for diners visiting the Gold Center Club these days. Completely renovated inside and out by new owners Ida and Willard Smith, the club is rapidly joining the ranks ef favorite gathering places for dinner meetings and parties. With an eye toward making their guests feel athome, the Smiths have made a homey atmosphere the specialty of the house. They are eSpecially proud of their flexible accomodations, ideal for catering to parties and occasions of various types and magnitudes. _ Bud Foote's musical group furnishes dinner-dance music from 9 p.m. on, Saturday nights. Family groups are welcome at alltimes, and many chose Sundaystotake advantage of ithe special service provided ‘for children. County (Continued from page 1) for future consideration. Another problem facing the supervisors is state insistencé that minimum salary scales be established in the Welfare Department in order to qualify for state aid. The state's minimum scale would place other county salary ranges into a poor comparative position when job classifications in the county were compared with Welfare Department jobs. One possible result of the Welfare Department problem is a general overhauling of salary scales throughout county positions. Another possible result of the state's demands is that the county may decide tohandle its own welfare problem without state aid.
