DecmW 8, 1H4I f LICENSE If BE DENIED TO SKATING RINK Skaieland, a skating rink on Klamath avenue within a block of the city hall and police sta tion, may be denied a license be cause of police officers' assertions that it is a "breeding place for Juvenile delinquency." William F. Swigart, operator Of Skateland, vigorously denied at Monday night's council meet ing that any laxity in supervision on his part could be to blame for juvenile delinquency, and his at torney, U. S. Balentine, asserted that Swigart "cannot be held re sponsible for the morals of every body who comes into his place." ;' Minors Checked , Police Chief Earl Heuvel and Juvenile Officer David Bridge recommended denial of the li cense, and after the council meet ing the police committee decided to recommend to the council that the rink license for the remaind er of 1942 be denied. The com mittee left open the question whether a 1943 license should be granted. The committee's recommenda tion will go before the council at the next meeting. Chief Heuvel stated that on November 28 he checked 10 minors, from 12 to 17 years of age, who were in Skateland after 9:45 p. m., some as late as 10:45 p. m. He said he could have taken the names of many more. City ordinance, he pointed out. requires that minors be out of the place at 9:45 p. m. ' "Scapegoat" The place, asserted Heuvel, is a "breeding place for child de linquency." Bridge said he would back up everything the chief had said and asserted many case of delinquency had been traced to contacts made at the skating rink. County Juvenile Officer Harold Hendricksbn said he Would support the contentions of the city otficers. Attorney Balentine then took the floor in Swigart's behalf. He said it seems Skateland is being made a "scapegoat" and he added it looked as if there was an at tempt to "visit upon a rather sub stantial citizen -all of the short comings of Klamath Falls." j - . 9:45 Closing He asserted Swigart had un dertaken to. run' a decent place, and could not be held respons ible, for what might happen to someone who comes into the. es tablishment and then leaves. Balentine said Swigart had de cided to close the rink every night at 9:45 p. m. because of the difficulty of segregating min ors from older persons at the deadline hour. "No one in Klamath Falls can conduct the rink on a better basis than Col onel Swigart," said the attorney. Swigart said he had done everything possible to comply with the city ordinance, employ ing a police officer for Saturday nights and a matron. He said he had posted notices ordering juv eniles out at 9:45 p. m. He gave the background of several in stances in which youngsters had allegedly been in the place after 9:45 p. m. In some cases, he said, parents had left their chil dren there and gone to shows, and it was felt safer to let the children remain inside than to push them out on the streets. Report Next Wek Attempts to provide a "pro bationary period" for Swigart's operation met with stubborn op position from Chief Heuvel and Bridge. Councilman Rollin Cantrall asked if it would not be better to have the skating rink in opera tion within a short distance of the city hall than to encourage young people to go outside, the city where there is less official supervision. Finally, the matter was given to the police committee for a recommendation to report next week. Unless the committee changes its mind, it' will report that the license for the remaind er of 1942 be denied. That was the decision at a meeting follow ing the council session. The council decided to provide the cemetery property for the grave of the late former Police Chief Frank Hamm. Numerous beer licenses were recommended to the Oregon State liquor control commission. R. L. Smith Sells Restaurant DORRIS R. L. Smith has sold his restaurant, the Richfield cafe, to Harry Moore. Smith had planned a vacation, but was interviewed by the city council at a meeting last week with a view to a successor to the chief of police position, which is vacant due to the in duction Into army service of Chief J.

Bring your "little" sister and show her a good time. It has been an nounced that this will be the only Girl's League dance of the year except the formal in tho spring, so let's all turn out and make it a gala affair. If you haven't found your sis ter yet, it would be the wise thing to travel to her home room, which is on tho list, and introduce yourself. The boys who will be 18 be fore June 31, 1943 were called together in an assembly to hear more about the selective service registration. Have you noticed those white i blazers the members of the Peli- i can squad have been wearing? If you haven't, we don't see how you could help it for they really show up. They will be a great help during a blackout. The jackets are white satin with red insignia. We gather that the townspeople all chipped in to buy these flashy articles of cloth' Ing for the champs. They were presented to the boys at the ban quct Saturday night, given for all men who were interested in football and our team. This semester ends January 8, 1943 with final exams coming anywhere between January 4 to 8, inclusive. This means that exams come immediately after we return from the Christmas holidays. We, along with many others, plan on doing a little studying during the vacation. Many of the girls in the gym classes are ordering new suits to be used for dancing instruc tion, which will begin in tho new year. Miss Jeanninc Withers is instructor in this new routine, which has never been a lengthy subject in the years before. With the shortage of razor blades, how are restaurants go ing to cut butter?
