A check for $3573.30 was pre
sented to the Portland Shrine
hospital for crippled children by
the Klamath Falls Shrincrs as a
feature of a big Shrine gathering
in Portland last weekend.
Ed Osterdorf of the local club
made the presentation, which
represented proceeds from the
annual Shrine dance held here
April 15. Mayor Earl Riley of
Portland, after receiving the
check, made a speech praising
the work Klamath Shrincrs and
this community have done for the
Portland hospital.
Making the trip with Ostcn
dorf were Gus Anderson, presi
dent of the local Shrine club;
Herman Gisvold, secretary of the
Scottish Rite lodge of Klamath
Falls, and Godfrey Blohm. The
Klamath men were given special
seats at the huge Shrine cere
monial in Portland.
When they arrived in the city,
they were greeted by Mayor
Riley and were taken on a tour
of the Shrine hospital. They vis
ited three children from Klam
ath Fall Nancy Bateman, Dav
id Hardman and Andrew Valdez.
. "These children were all very
happy and were glad to see some
one from home," said Ostendorf.
-The Klamath club some
months ago presented a special
bone saw to the hospital, and
the Klamath men visited patients
which had been benefitted from
use of this instrument. They had
lunch at the hospital, and Miss
Greenwood, the head nurse,
warmly lauded the interest of
Klamath men in the institution.
Tommy Luke, potentate of AI
Kader terAple of Portland, pre
sented the . Klamathites with
'lowers.

reports.
Many persons here as still be
wildered as to why Hitler wait
ed until now to use his robot
planes instead of launching them
against the gathering ailed in
vasion forces but Lord Strabol-
gi advanced this theory:
"The rocket plane installa
tions were set up on the Calais
coast to meet an expected in?
vasion there. The invasion in
Normandy was a tactical sur
price, so the pilotless planes
were used against southern Eng
land as a last gamble to panic
civilians."
