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.

The Big and Little Sister
dance is to be Wednesday, De
cember 9, after school. 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
