OLD BUILDING SHOULD COME DOWN
Experience and Accidents
Po$$ibilities Should
Be Considered
The Klamath County Chamber of
Commerce has instructed its civic af
fairs committee to open conversations
with the Masonic lodge with regard to
the possibilities of razing the old high
school building on the hill on Fifth
street. The citizenry in general will
hope that something definite comes
from the discussions.
Not only is the abandoned shell on
the hilltop an "eye sore' as it was de
scribed by the chairman at the cham
ber meeting Thursday. By virtue of its
vast array of broken windows, it is an
example of lawlessness held up con
stantly before the eyes of the commun
ity. If it is a lesson in the evils of law
lessness, we feel sure that the com
munity would be willing to forego fur
ther application of that lesson.
As attention is given to the problem,
the possibilities of making the elim
ination of the structure a relief pro
ject should not be overlooked. Those
in charge of relief work here say it
would lend itself well to such an enter
prise, furnishing work for a great many
men. To make it a public relief pro
ject would, of course, involve the pub
lic ownership of the property, mat
ter which those interested in the prob
lem should consider. There has been
some talk of acquisition of the prop
erty by the city school district, al
though it is our understanding that this
has not been seriously considered by
the board in recent months. The Ma
sons, it is known, are willing to dis
pose of the property.
That it would be possible to put re
lief crews at work on the building, and
salvage from the razing program large
quantities of material for new construc
tion, is the contention of those inter
ested in making this a relief project.
These two facts stand out. The build
ing, if it is not going to be reconstruct
ed, should be torn down. There are
large numbers of unemployed workers
in the city, many of them receiving
food at the county relief depot, and
who should be given work. How to
make one problem help solve the other
is a question at least worth considering.
Caution Important
To Experienced
Not all experienced drivers are good
drivers. As a matter of fact, no small
number of automobile accidents are due
to the carelessness of drivers whose
confidence in their ability, due to ex
perience, has resulted in irresponsibility
in the operation of their automobile.
Ward McReynolds, who has charge
of examinations for drivers' licenses in
Klamath Falls, said the other day that
experienced drivers are constantly run
ning into difficulties in seeking oper
ators' licenses, due to an unjustified
confidence in their knowledge of the
law and their ability to drive.
Mr. McReynolds recalled the case
of a local man who had had fifteen
years' driving experience when he came
to take the new operators' examination.
He" laughed, McReynolds said, at the
absurdity of his having to show the
examiner that he could operate an au
tomobile safely. And yet, after taking
the examiner for a ride, during which
his particular fault was approaching
intersections on icy pavements at 20
miles an hour, this man was temporarily
denied a license. The case is not un
usual, Mr. McReynolds said.
In support of these observations of
the examiner are statistics compiled in
a study of the deplorable automobile
accident record of the year 1931. This
study revealed that ninety-one per cent
of the drivers involved in accidents in
1931. which resulted either in death or
non-fatal injury of persons had more
than one year's experience as drivers.
The lesson is apparent. It need
hardly be said that none of us has
reached the place where he can con
sider himself an accident-proof automo
bile operator. The roads will be far
safer for ourselves and for others if we
combine the fruits of experience with
the extreme caution of the beginner.

Petty rackets are developing
in peculiar trades In New York

stress and consequent cat-throat

A young man who operates a
dry cleaning establishment In the
west eighties, catering to the
apartment house trade, is the
latest lnrentor of Ingenious de

Each pt-i . having a suit
cleaned and pressed during a
period of two weeks received a
snrprlse. When the suit was de
livered the boy hsnded the cus
tomer a dollar bill.
"We found this dollar In the
Tact pocket," he said.
Naturally tne customer was
astounded at the cleaner's hon
esty. Any one that honest, he
reasoned, deserved steady busi
ness. Further than that, the re
turn of the fl was so unusual
that friends were Informed of It.
The young dry cleaner has abont
as much business as his shop can
handle now.
The machine gun murder of
Vincent Call has proved a trade
stimulant for the London chem
ists, the drug store In which the
young gangster was killed.
Wide publicity was given the
killing and since it occurred

curious to see the telephone
booth in which Coll was standing
when his enemies opened fire,
art visiting the store dally.

When yon swing yonr hands
