Bottle of wood plant fallout shown board A bottle full of fallout timber products, not moondust, and a room full of people seeking help in fallout control from Brunswick Timber Products were on hand to greet the Nevada county supervisors at their regular meeting Tuesday, Supervisor Dean Lawrence brought along a bottle of fallout which was dusted off a car near the mill to display to other board members, . ry 2 oO 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.

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
