WASHINGTON, Dec. 80 (UP)-
At least 80 of the 435 members
Of the house of representatives
have relatives on the house pay
roll, an examination showed to-
day. "a
Senate payroll records are not
now open for public inspection
but several senators also are
known to have relatives working
for them.
Hiring of the relatives is per-
fectly legal. There have been
many notable instances in which
a wife or other family members
have been an important aide to
a member of congress.
John Nance Garner was ably
assisted by his wife when he
was vice president and speaker
of the house. So was the late
Homer T. Rainey when he was
speaker. President Truman had
his wife on the payroll when he
was a senator.
Payroll records do not show
when or how employees of men,
bers' offices put i'm their time.

Amoteur Prospectors Tell OfFinding
Radioactive Ore In B. G. Mountains

| Gieger counters" would Indicate
valuable uranium ore.
The "find," Norman said, elm.
axed five back breaking trips by
foot and boat into the rugged
Canadian Rockies around Lake
Kootenay, source of the Column
bia river. On one trip he and
his partners boated 25 miles up
the lake and then hiked another
25 miles through the mountains.
This trip, however, was not
fruitless. Norman reported that
they staked claims to a erich"
silver. gold and ead-bearing ore
vein. s>
The last trip nearly ended in
disaster. Il
Norman told Of a binding
mountain blizzard that hit them
few minutes after discovery of
the uranium.
Just as the prospectors reached
the top of the mountain, the Gle.
ger counter began to rattle, Nor

the "black greensboro" which
was the way he described the
ore. I'll s.-.-e.
COLLECT ORE SAMPLES
They hardly had finished col
lecting some samples when the
storm hit.
The party was 5000 feet up.
The driving snow was accom-
panied by sub-zero temperatures.
The heavily-laden prospectors
staggered down the mountain.
Part of the way they were forced
to carry one of their members.
Norman reported the mans face
turned blue and at times his
companions thought him dead.
Luckily, just as all were near
ing exhaustion, they found a
cabin. They broke into the cabin,
which apparently belonged to a
miner, and stayed there until the
storm ceased. 49, 49, @,.s.e...e
After the storm they hiked nine
miles back to the end of a min
ing road where they had left

The Tri.City groups hunt for
uranium started several years
ago when Norman and Renshaw,
with about II others, pooled their
resources.
All were without much pros.
pecting experience, except two
Canadians. who had spent years
looking for bonanzas. r.
Norman described the Lake
Kootenay area as one of the
richest mineral localities" he
ever had seen. However, he said
thousands of mines had been
discovered and then lost again
under winter snow slides or COW
cred by the luXuriant growth
that springs up rapidly each
spring when the snow melts.

someone else long ago had found
it, too
But when Harris returned to
mine the claim the next year he
was unable to find it.
However, Norman and his
partners are confident they'll be
able to find the uranium again
It could be covered with several
feet of earth and the Giege,

same, he said.
So they'll be heading back to
that mountain top just as soon
as the snow melts this spring.

Naturally, that Christmas of 1911 was sad and de-
pressed. Hence, we are setting our last "best"
Christmas all the way back to 1910.
In the nine years. since that date, we had
Chrlstmases OF varying degrees of happiness and
merrlment. No sane person could be entirely merry
Days up to and including 1916, when world war II
ended.
Since that time, we have tried to forget the
sorrows and sadness Of that terrible war. But with
a world fumbling the peace, with tension between
this country and Russia, with civil war still going on
overseas, each Christmas has been diluted with sad
ness and sorrow.
In this year of 1949, however, we begin to see
faint glimmers Of pink cleaning, thru the somber
darkness of the world situation.
Employment is looking up after a nOsedive this
year. That, more than anything else, makes for a
merry Christmas for us all. Work and a steady in
come are the necessary ingredients to make Christ
masses happy for each one of us.
A happy home, a Christmas tree with colorful
ornaments, love in the home, children if possible,
deep and warm affection between those in the fami-
ly circle, maybe a fat turkey on the table, gifts be-
tween loved ones, a proper reverence for the hol-
ness of the day. And don't overlook Gas if you
