Park Ranger Frank Forsythe presumed. ... t- Travelers snould be equipped with chains for sudden snow storms the rest of the season, the park superintendent said today, The lake showed its unbeliev able blue to tourists and received their "ohs" and "ahs" of amazed delight, before the sky clouded over and the lake appeared as a silver sheet or glass. Picnic Grounds ' No eating or sleeping ac commodations are available in the park this season, but picnic grounds with wood for fires are at the disposal of visitors. No word has been received yet as to whether the roads will be open for winter sports at the park this year.

Aug. 28. 1945 from the council, stated that since the canal was built for the convenience of growers, and agriculture has enriched the basin through water use from the canal, the bureau considered that the community benefiting should carry a substantial part of the cost of maintenance and repairs. Stephens maintained that the canal was put through and the town built up around it later. Bureau's Refusal Mayor Ed Ostendorf stated that the bureau had refused to shoulder the responsibility for the break that occurred in the canal in the south part of town, and should be held to pay the entire cost of lining the canal to prevent seepage. Stephens' letter suggested that concrete lining for the whole canal would be a commendable project for government postwar plans. The matter was referred to the city attorney and the mayor for further action. 7 Applications Seven applications have been received for city building in spector, the mayor announced. No one has been appointed to date, and applications for the position are still being consid ered. Duties Discussed Much discussion revolved about the duties of building in spector. It was pointed out tnat tne position has included sani tary inspection, and nuisance in vestigation in past periods, the person taking tne position work ing both for the city and for the police department. The tact that building has in creased so tremendously in the last year, brought up the ques tion of whether the inspector would have time to devote to the police department require ments. The council decided to settle this point before appoint ing a new man. notice Judge Harold Franey is at present act ing as temporary building in spector. - Chang Approved The council aDDroved a chanee from a remodeling permit to a new construction permit for Mark A. Green, SIS Jefferson, who changed his mind about re modeling his old house and dis mantled it to build a new one. Former Building .Inspector D..wns, found the new structure was two feet too close to the Cummings' property next door, but the appeal board passed the approval on construction provid ing a written commitment of Cummings' consent be obtained. A regular loading zone for the 600 block on Klamath was sug gested by the committee of traf fic safety in response to a re quest by the Refrigeration Equipment company for a load ing zone. At present there is no such zone in the block. This matter was referred to Council men Paul Landry : and Harvey Martin for further checking. -Permission Granted Swift and company. Market street, requested permission to knock out the curb along the front of their property, and pave the entire 50 foot, width be tween their building and : the street, which permission was granted by the council; after much discussion of the pros and cons involved in such action. Landry voiced a motion to authorize the city . attorney to rescind th? s!d ordinance on con trol of inflammable liquids and adopt the new 1941 underwriters code. It was seconded by Angus Newton and. unanimously passed. Committee of traffic safety recommended ' allowing double parking near U. S. post office collection boxes, in lieu of estab lishing a regular parking zone at eacn box, which was suggested by Burt E. Hawkins, Klamath Falls postmaster. An 18-page traffic ordinance to which a new section has been added, to prevent cutting of cor ners, was read at the council meeting, which was concluded at 11 p. m., with a reminder that there will be no meeting next Monday, which is a Labor Day holiday. The next meeting will be held Tuesday, September 4. THE SERIOUS DRIVER ... no nonsense about this chap, he keeps his mind on the road, takes his driving seriously.

Secretary Forrestal outlined the nnvy's vastly expanded de- mooiuzaiion plans to newsmen late yesterday. Previously the sea arm contemplated discharg ing between 1,500.000 and. 2.- 500,000 within a year or 18 months. Now, however, the plan is to cut back navy strength to 500, 000 enlisted personnel and 50.- 000 officers in the. next 12 months. That will mean the dis charge of about 2,575,000 men and women ana 264,000 officers. Point Alteration! Forrestal also reported that the navy's point system for dis charge will be altered to allow credit for overseas service. This credit, the secretary said, will be included in the discharge formula within about two months without any reduction in the present scores necessary for discharge or any decrease in the credit now allowed for age, service or dependency. The navy considers sea duty as overseas service. - Scores Told Navy discharge scores now are 44 for enlisted navy men, 49 for officers, 29 for enlisted Waves and 35 for Wave officers. Credit is given on the basis of one-half point for each year of age, one-half point for service since September l, 1939, and 10 points for dependency, regard less of the number of depend ents. Forrestal emphasized that the force of 500,000 men and 50,- 000 officers a year hence will not necessarily represent the prospective size of the postwar navy. Other postwar navy plans which emerged from the news conferences: The navy will ask congress to permit the transfer of up to 30, 000 reserve officers to the regu lar navy. The navy plans to keep a force of Waves in the naval re serve and, if congress approves, a cadre of Waves will be kept on active duty. Similar groups of Spars, the coast guard auxil iary, and of women marines, also will be retained. The educational system will be revised because present fa cilities at Annapolis can not produce the number of officers needed. The general plan calls for an active naval reserve of ficer training corps at various colleges and universities with further training at Annapolis.
