Congressman HaroldT.
(Bizz) Johnson has been advised by the Department of
Interior that proposed Bureau
of Land Management regulations will provide more security for persons leading
grazing lands.
Under the provisions of the
Proposed rule No. 43 CFR
160, 161, leaseholders can
expect reimbursement for
improvements made to-leased
grazing lands which have
been removed from grazihg
functions.
Officials of the bureau of
land management said
mutual agreements “will: be
worked out between the
bureau and the leaseholders
for this reimbursement.
They assured Congressman
Johnson that this new rule
should provide additional incentive to leaseholders "to
improve andtake better care
of grazing lands under lease’.
It is expected these regulations will become effective later this month.

Paul’R. Squires, special
assistant tothe director of the
burcau of the Census, has
provided Congressman Bizz

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.

Squires informs me, should

about $15.50 a day for full

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.
