PAGE TWO REVISION OF CIT! CHARTER Klamath Falls' obsolete city charter will soon be revised it was decided at a meeting of the city charter committee, meeting in session Monday afternoon with Herman Kchrll, executive secretary of the League of Ore gon Cities. Before March of 1942, voters will go to the polls in a special election to place their stamp of approval on the changes which will be made within the next few months. The League of Oregon Cities and Kehrli, working with the city's legal department, will pre pare the new charter and all changes will be on the ballot, according to Mayor John H. Houston who also attended the meeting. "The city's charter is obsolete and there have been so many amendments to ordinances that practically all old ordinances are now involved in a maze of technicalities," the mayor stat ed. "It is this committee's hope that we can iron out all these difficulties and present an up-to-the-minute charter before next March for approval of the voters." It is also hoped that all or dinances will be so tabulated that they can be found without difficulty when interested per sons wish to refer to them at any time. Members of the city council and the city attorney met with the committee. Fl (Continued from Pass One) counsel and, advice in this mes sage." Green said he would transmit to the president the federation's thanks for the greetings and an assurance of cooperation in his aims. Describing the convention as an "event of international sig nificance," the president's mes sage laid: - "It is a symbol of that free dom which we, in the United States, enjoy and must make every sacrifice to maintain: . ' "... you, at this convention, seed no reminder of what is at stake for the free workers of America In the present emer gency." The president said that the "threat of Hitlerism" , was di rected not only at labor ."even though labor is among the very first that will suffer therefrom" but that it was also "aimed at all of us every man, woman and child who believes in free dom. It menaces everything that we cherish as Americans . and free men." Phone 4567 NOW PLAYING Shows at 2. 7, 9 P.

QjA This It an exterior view of ino formerly occupied by Montgomery Ward near the Willard the interior was undertaken to New Features By Furniture Company in 'Open House' Wednesday Br JAMES MORRISON Climaxing 15 years of success ful furniture business in Klam ath Falls, the Klamath Furni ture company has announced with becoming pride an invita tion to the Klamath basin em pire to visit the company's open house to be held all day Wednes day from 9 a. m. to 10 p. m. at the store's new location in the completely remodeled building next to the Willard hotel. This writer was conducted by the manager on a preview tour of the entire building formerly occupied by Montgomery Ward. For months the building, owned by W. D. Miller, had been un occupied, probably because it was too big for most types of businesses. I can remember last winter, when Herb Cochran's band used to use the mezzanine floor for rehearsals and the men played with overcoats and mit tens on. It is amazing what changes have been made to the building itself let alone the 20,000 square feet of floor space covered with eye-capturing fur niture to make it one of the finest appearing structures in the city. Manager Robert Sproat commended ' the owner. He said Miller went to every ef fort to improve the building to suit the needs of its new occu pants. The whole main floor is open. Behind a wide window display decorated by George Sinclair, formerly with Barker Brothers of Los Angeles, lie acres of fine furniture. Upstairs on the mez zanine, however, are the store's showplapes. ' There's a model kitchen with inlaid linoleum drainboard and chromium trim mings. Around the room are neat, short rolls of linoleum STARTS SUNDAY .at the H TOWER THEATRE 2 HITS 111!!!

Large linoleum samples may be taken home for match ing or contrasting colors. Next to the model kitchen is a new addition to services pre viously offered to Klamath I ur niture company customers.. It's an interior decorating depart ment. This can be seen upon en tering the big front door and it's not a bad idea at all. Lamps and curtains and draperies are arranged in all sorts of combina tions. Sinclair is in charge of the much needed department, neglected in the city heretofore. But to make the building even more spacious, big enough to ac commodate everything under one roof, they've added a large L off the old mezzanine to the front. First thing you see there is a unique mattress and springs display. So unique, in fact, it is understood there isn't another one like it in the west. Instead of piles of mattresses the kind you always want to see the bot tom one first and cause the sales man trouble trying to drag it out these mattresses are dis played singly in booths. They lean on an angle to the wall where they can easily be swung outward so you can squeeze them and inspect both sides. At the end of the booths are springs to match. Still on the mezzanine, you walk over thick carpet to the cherry wood department wood from Wendell Willkie's home town of Rushville, Ind. and Grand Rapids dressers, etc., end ing at a complete array of baby furniture. From this vantage point at the front of the store you can look down through a great well onto the main floor, and it's really, a remarkable job of decorating. Mirrors and pic tures add immeasurably to the scene. The whole top floor is a ware house, except for a furniture re finishing workroom and a drape ry and upholstering workshop. An elevator at the rear makes loading and deliveries easy. The company also purchased a large new cab-over-cngine van for de liveries, large enough to furnish an average home in one trip.

Everything in the old store at 721 Main street was sold recent ly at auction and everything in the new store is new. The only furniture items becoming hard to get are those made mostly of metal, but even these are still being shipped. Personnel of the company numbers 15. Two men are kept busy installing linoleum and carpets under the direction of Stanley Clark, a veteran of 10 years' service here, and three women are employed in the drapery, workshop. Marlon Rob bins, salesman, has been in the furniture business here for many years. He once served for Mor doff and Woolf, a pioneer store. Bob Sproat and son are partners and managers. Besides all ' this, there's a downstairs . store, formerly the "Upstairs Store," at the old loca tion on South Ninth. The low er store is lower that is, the prices are not so high. Al An derson is in charge, and it s a place "where quality furniture can be purchased if you're oper ating on a limited budget or just want a bargain. Starting out 15 years ago at lull Mam street, the Klamath Furniture company moved after five years to 721 Main, where it stayed 10 years before becom ing cramped for space; The last move to the big white building next to the Willard brought a certain amount of comment that the business was moving "the wrong way" in connection with trends of other local establish ments. But the managers are firm in their conviction that it is a wise move. They have now the most complete, modern display of fine furniture anywhere in the area, and it's placed where cus tomers can see it. The firm extends an invitation to open house at the store Wednesday. No goods will be sold in the evening, although the building will be open until 10 o clock.

Bridge Tender Penman, 56, a veteran of 15 years at his Job said, it might be two or three days before normal river traffic could be resumed but later amended this to say it was "pretty hard to tell" when this could be done. From his tower on the Amer ican side of the river, Penman said he saw the train come onto the bridge. The bridge is of jack-knife design and steel con struction. "All I can tell you," Penman said, "Is that the bridge was all set. The signal lights were set and everything was o. k. In the tower when the train came on. I don't know how it could have happened."

At the exact moment someone brought up the Jail situation a wail cross between a coyote's mournful cry and a siren's screech reached the ears of council and visitors alike. The wail, investigation proved after recurrences of the cry, came from a white woman pris oner, Jailed on a drunk charge.
