WORSHIP KNOWS
NO CALENDAR
Some select Sunday as a day
of worship. Others prefer Friday or Saturday. But the solace
of worship knows no boundaries—temporal or spatial.
Some find their God in church.
Others see him in a spring
sunrise, or in a fresh-mown
meadow at dusk. Children oft
find peage in an evening
prayer.
Each seeks peace in his own
way. All place their trust in a
Supreme Being and worship
as conscience dictates.
Why not join them? You, too,
can find solace and guidance
in prayer. -8954
Miss Lawrence told the board
that this group, who live near
the mill, has been tryingto work
this problem out with the Brunswick Timber management, but
fears the mill hasn't made any
progress toward a solution of
this problem which has been going on for the past few years.
Speaking for the group was
Joseph Stewart who told the
board that some wives in that
area have "been thinking about
picketing the mill" so that some
action might be taken. Stewart
added:
"T believe in live and let live,
but our problem has become so
acute that people breathe it, taste
it and the fallout gets in your
eyes. Two years ago there was
one case of a child being burned,
They have told us that they are
working on the problem, but it is
getting worse. We even suspect
that the fallout is hot, bringing
danger of fire to the woods,
"We are not against business
but feel that human beings should
come ahead of dollars. Let's
correct this situation properly
not by having our ladies picket
the mill," Stewart said.
"How far does the fallout blow
from the mill," Supervisor William Thomas asked,
One lady in the audience reported she lives approximately
3/4 of a mile away and has problems, She added “it blows into my
windows, into food, dishes,
blankets etc."
Stewart added, "it's like being
snowed on,"
Thomas asked “has a group
of you citizens been formed to
negotiate with the mill management? I suggest it might help
you with your problem."
Stewart said "I remind you we
have spoken to the mill, but the
problem appears to be getting
worse." :
SS benefits _
are payable to
disabled child
Social security benefits are
payable to a child of a social
security beneficiary if the child
was disabled prior to age 18,
Many persons, not realizing
that their disabled child might
be eligible for benefits, do not
file applications, Social security forms have questions designed to find out about such
potential applicants but if parents do not tell us we do not
know,
The requirements for benefits to a disabled child are:
1, Be disabled prior to age 18,
2. Be unmarried, 3, Be unable
to work due to the disabling
condition,
These benefits can be paic
to a child of any age over 18,
An application is necessary
proof of the childs age and
medical evidence to show the
disablement commenced prior
to age 18 must be submitted,
Mrs, Lawrence said "they
want the mill run on good engineering principles, Itook the matter up with Mr. Gates atthe mill
and hope something will be done.
Other places don't permit this
type of thing,
_She then showed her bottle of
fallout scraped off a car.
"I didn't think it was moon
dust" Chairman Lou Hartman
said.
Supervisor William Curren
told the board a mill had a
similar problem at Truckee last
year. The problem appears ‘to
have been eliminated and he said
he will check to see what action
that firm took.
"I am sure you can depend on
this board to help you," Hartman
said, "We will have the health
department check into this and
make a report, and the board
will conduct an investigation.
Personally I will say we will
come up with a length of time
for Brunswick Timber to correct this situation."
