ency radio equipment' at the city
commission meeting Tuesday, and
agreed to go ahead with plans.
The Oct. 12 storm pointed out
the inadequacy of the present
building which is crowded with
equipment. The building is at the
city water tank on Angles/de.
The building would house city
and county emergency radio trans-
mission and receiving equipment
and would be financed jointly.
THE COMMISSIONERS also
plan to contact the Public Util-
ity District and the Department
of Natural Resources to see if they
would be interested in joining.
County Engineer J. C. Bridget
was asked to draw plans for the
proposed building so cost estimates
can be obtained.
Attending the city commission
meeting were County Commission-
ers Harry Elmlund. John Bar/ok-
man and Martin Auseth, County
Civil Defense Director Harry Car-
lon and County Auditor, C. Nolan
Mason.
Elmlund presented the county's
proposal for joint construction of
the building.
Carlon told the two groups he
thought in light of present world
events, that a county civil defense
plan should be prepared.
He said with protection surwval
was possible, but, without some
plan of organization fox' making
it work, it would do little good to
have protection available.
Mason told the commission tlmt
as the person who would be the
chief ration officer in the county
in event of an emergency, he sup-
ported fully Carlon's views on tile
necessity of a civil defense plan.
Bid Asked On

Co. Treasurer
. Thie Mason County Commission
Voted Monday to advertise for bids
for a bookkeeping nlachine for the
office of thc County Treasm'er.
Bids will be opened at 2 p.m. Nov.
5.
The commission voted to aband-
on about one-half mile of county
road which has been replaced by
new construction. The section of
road connected the road to Mason
Lake with Highway 14-A. The
abandonment of the road was rec-
ommended by County Engineer J.
C. Bridget.
A representative of the Har-
st/he Island Social Club appeared
before the commission to suggest
that the county adopt an ordinance
making it necessary for utilities
to get a permit before spraying
along roads to kill brush. The club
recently sent a petition to the
PUb-and telephone company pro-
testing spraying done last month.
Two representatives of the Mat-
lock Grange appeared to ask the
county to mprove visability at the
railroad crossings st Dayton and
Matlock.
The commission was notified by
the County Treasurer that the
county's share of the forest re-
serve funds had been received and
would be held until the commis-
sion acts on the apportionment of
the money.
C. Nolan Mason, County Audi-
tor, told. the commission he
thought Harry Carlon, County Civ-
il Defense Director, should be com-
plemented for his alertness and
observations as to what could ap-
pen in an enmrgeney as the re'ult
of the Oct. 12 storm.

SHE SAID the re-building of

the U.S. has not. given the con-

President Nixon four years ago as
evidence of the loss of this good-
will.
"We "rc in for some harsll days
ahead," Mrs. Hansen said. "It will
require courage, military call-ups
and a buildup of our military

Of the President's action on Cu-

among the nation's leaders in
Washington; in fret, she said,
many would have gone much far-
ther than he did, even to the point
of blockading and invading the

She said concessions to help

for example, and greater use of

MRS. IIANSEN suggested that

would help in tim competition with
Russian lumber which is compeI=

While she expre:ased some dis-
appointment with the allocations
made by Congress for forest ac-
