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"The city's charter is obsolete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.

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."

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

the new home of the Klamath
provide effective display of the
Displayed
which can in two seconds be laid
out on the floor and matched
with other materials to give you
an idea of a kitchen color
scheme. 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.

new furniture stock.
pany so far, because a complete
new stock was purchased before
the going started to get tough.
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.

From his tower on the Amer

said he saw the train come onto

Trouble Coincides
With Council Study
Of Joil Problem
City fathers launched a dis
cussion of the ever-present Jail
problem Monday night as tho
council sat around tna glass'
topped table in regular session.
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.
All was not sorrow in the wo
man's aectiqn, . however, as a
short time later ithe." moaning
turned into a loud battering and
banging. Officers found a badly
mangled cell the next morning,
the mattresses . in scraps, the
bunks torn from the walls, and
the beds ripped. The lady Sam
