Klamath Falls I sadly lacking In

It li hardly necessary to publish the
finding, of tho Community Bettor

'tnr morn forcibly to tho attention of
tho public and to suggvst waywaind

tho realization that a certain amount
of recreation I n necessary to nor

that It U thn duty of noddy to milk
It possible for vrr)oin to hiive both

Klamath Kail ahould profit by tho
mistakes nf older cltlrs and take a
long look ahead In planning for
parka and plngroundi. In our
crowded eastern elite aa well aa In
onia of our .larger coast cities It
hai been necessary to procuro, prop
erty In congested dlatrlcta by expen
sive condemnation proceedings, often-)
lmts necessitating the removal of
buildings In order provide breathing
spot for tho public.
Commercialised recreation haa Ita
place In city llfo Jutt aa aurely aa
public rccruatlon. Thn theater, tho
movlni' picture hnii nnd tin: pub
lic danro all satisfy a aoclal need.
Klamath KalU la under-oqulpped
with aomo forma of commercial
amusement aa well aa In parka and
playground!. At present thiro are
no well constructed or adeuatoly
-supervised public danro nulla, nor la
thoro an audllorlum aultabln for pub
lic lecture, concert und theatrical
performance. Home rommunltlea
have constructed community house,
containing n dunce hall, auditorium,
reading and billiard room, nnd
room whoru various civic organlia
tloni and club call hold mooting.
Thla la perhaps not tho logical tlmo
to promote audi a community enter
prise hot tho need la here and some
plan must bu worked out'to meet It
lthor by public or prlvato onlor
prise. In many parts of tho country In
dustrial concern havo found It a
paying proposition from tha point of
view of efficiency to attend to tho
recreational needs of thqlr employees.
Baseball clubs huvo been 'organised,
tennis courts constructed and sonio
of tho larger conipanlos havo oven
built company golf links for tho uso

Klamath Falls cannot oxpect to

and lend onrnuragoment and moral
support by nttendanco.
And a glanca at tho local line-up
and a knowledgo of Chlloquln's per
formance this season ought to con
vince anyono that it'll be worth
