Y' CENTER PROPOSED ; mil-emu NOTE! Htrawlth to the trt f a report by Dr. Uwnuc if. Wll- lamella univeraiir on nu invwuiiiiaii Hi the powllile need o YMCA-YWCA ctnter In Klamalh ralli. It wai p re lented at a fenerel meetlns bar lalt BUhL la etwjr on Pa On. Obiervatlonii 1. Group work agencies as (hey operate m present cover only a portion of the popu'atlon. There is geneia! agreement that a YM-YW center would not only cause no conflict in program but would actually help existing programs: , 2. Adequate mectin, facilities are at a premium. There is sue- clal need for lounging rooms with opportunities to read, wait tor friends, etc. 3. Young people of Klamath Falls have a !ood deal o! fiee time. This is due in part to the fact that the schools operate on h basis making it possible for the youngsters to get most of their Jiomework done at school. About one third of the boys and girls are free on any one evening of the week. ' ' 4. The extra currlcular pro gram at the school, while excel lent for those it reaches, does not reach enough. The athletic program reaches a small propor tion of the students, except for the regularly conducted gym classes. 5. Young people agree on their need for more provision for leisure time and recreational activities. They are unanimous in their interest in opportunities to swim. They have learned to swim at school and now want op portunities to swim for pleasure outside of classes.' This is also true of a number of young adults. There is interest in more opportunities to bowl. , 6. Coordination between exist ing agencies is lacking. A Y center could provide much de sirable coordination and could be a genuine community service ,'if it proceeded on a basis which -did not involve narrow self in terest. 7. A civic recreation program, as operated through the munici pal recreation commission is at a minimum. The program is se riously handicapped by a lack of funds. There is a need for a ;strong central municipal recrea Come What Ready to Supply Your . FUEL OIL Needs " Call Peyton & Co. for STANDARD BURNER OILS '. O Stove , Z , ; O Diesel - PEYTON & CO.

Local parks having tennis courts or baseball diamonds are in a state of disrepair so that at times it is virtually Impossible to use them for their intended purposes. 8. Commercial recreation fa cilities are not adequate for the Dasic needs ox l lie community except for the theatres. Even these are pressed by continuous crowds. 9. There is strong interest in a Y center and evidence that money and support otherwise would be forthcomine for such an enterprise. At least one or ganization (Klamath Council of Church Women) and countless individuals have gone on record as favoring the establishment of a Y center. Rcommndiiora: 1. It is recommended that a Y center with a program for young men, young women, boys and girls be established in Klam ath Falls. 2. A campaign should be pressed immediately to raise funds toward building and pro gram. 3. A strong and well-trained man and a forceful, capable woman should be brought in im mediately to begin the program work. This should not precede me raising oi tunas, nowever. 4. Coordination, cooperation and community service must be basic in whatever program is undertaken. S. When building facilities are available, emphasis should be on the building program. It would probably not be wise to undertake an extensive neigh borhood program for some time, if at all. 6. The buildme should be ar ranged so its facilities could be used by men's groups and wom en's groups, by boys and eirls separately, as well as in coopera tion wnn eacn oiner. 7. The meeting rooms must be flexible and should range in size from the fireplace type room for committee meetings to rooms accommodating up to five or six hundred people. A comfortable eating place should be provided and this should be open to the public and May, We're Burn" then S143 ought to be of the lunch-counter type rather than a formal dining room or cafeteria. Private din ing facilities for groups of 30 to 100 should be possible through a multiple-use room or othor pro vision. The multiple-use room should be constructed with due consid eration giveu to the need for a program of audio-visual aids. Sound motion pictures should be provided for. It is recommended that con sideration be given to a listening room .where radio andor radio phonograph equipment can be used by individuals or small, in formal groups. The advisability of bowling alleys should be considered. A gymnasium with special equipment for individual use should be provided as well as special rooms for special physi cal conditioning equipment. A standard size swimming pool with ample spectator space must be provided. The specta tor space could be flexible and of use as program-activity space with careful planning. The wide use of films for teaching swim ming (used throughout the Y programs) should be provided for in or near the swimming pool area. 8. Certain considerations with reference to program should be made. The cost of oroeram should be kept within the reach of all who could benefit by and cooperate in it. Special reference should be made to program for young adults and to community service. it would oe well to eventually consider the possibility of includ ing rattier complete educational personal counselling services sucn as many i s provide. It is the opinion of the invest! gator that a positive, well planned program including the learures suggested above, would find acceptance in Klamath Falls if in the hands of well trained leaders who are person ally as well as professionally iutuiura xor ineir worje. Lawrence Riggs. October 15, 1945. AVALOS DISH (Continued from Page One) and unsubtle mind, said simply: i am not tfie boss. "I am carrying out the orders of officers of the army," he declared. Several prominent civilians have been .approached by the 67-year-old Alvarez, who him self still was undecided last night about accepting the inter ior ministry. His first effort, a tender of the foreign ministry portfolio to Tomas Lebreton, former ambassador to London, met with failure. Vice Admiral Vernengo Lima, navy minister, meanwhile has taken over the duties of acting foreign minis ter. iim FIGHTS FOR LIFE (Continued from Page One) supervisor, testified after her 17-year-old sister, Helena Grese, was on the stand.

Urgu Refunds McAvoy urged that dis charged veterans be forgiven income taxes up to $250 owed from 1941 to the time of dis charge, and thut refunds up to $250 be granted veterans who paid their taxes during that pe riod, He said tho CIO recommends that the excess profits tax be continued until Jan. 1, 1947 aud that its carry-back carry-for ward provisions be repealed The house voted to reduce the present effective rate of 85.5 per cent to 60 oer cent. For relief of small businesses the CIO recommends a $5,000 exemption from the corporate income tax, lowering rates for enterprises with net incomes of less than $100,000, and giving incorporated small businesses the right to be taxed as partner- snips. McAvoy contended that the house-approved changes in the excess profits tax would give sou corporations a tax reduction of $1,797,000,000 and that pro posed horizontal reductions in tne corporate income tax also would benefit primarily large corporations. Likes Plan Taft told a reporter before the senate finance committee began its second day of hearing that he likes the way Secretary Fred M. Vinson wants to go about easing the drain on citi zens' pocketbooks. The house cut $5,350,000,000 off prospective 1946 tax bills. Vinson's reductions added up to $5,175,000,000. But the house didn't do it his way. ' Taft said he thought Vinson had worked out a pretty good program. The treasury secre tary wants the excess profits tax ended next January. 1. The house voted to reduce it, but keep it until Jan. 1,1947. Vinson wanted the normal in come tax on individuals reDeal ed. The house did it another way that seemed to give those with larger incomes a break. "I'm in favor of getting rid of the excrescences first and not Just handing out tax reductions to certain groups," Taft assert ed. He meant, he said,- the elimination first of the abnor mal taxes that bulged out in the war. Taft, Senator Vandenberg (R- Mich.) and others have ques tioned, however, whether this is the time to cut down some of the wartime "luxury" taxes. Captain Coggeshall Awarded Medal (Continued from Page One) Oct. 29. The award, established in memory of former army Sur geon General William Crawford Gorgas of Panama Canal fame, was founded by Wyeth Incor porated of Philadelphia. Capt. Lowell T. Coggeshall, USNR, senior medical officer at the Klamath Falls Marine Bar racks, was frankly surprised to day when newsmen called him to ask about his winning the Gorgas medal of the association of military surgeons of the U. S. "I hadn't heard about it," he said, "but I suspected something must be in the air when I re cently received orders to be in Washington at the end of this month." Captain' Coggeshall is on leave of absence from the Uni versity of Michigan, where he holds the chairmanshiD of troni- cal diseases in the school of public health. The Klamath Falls Marine Barracks, where the record of work done in be half of marines suffering from malaria and filariasis has won national attention, was con. ceived and developed under Dp. Coggeshall's direction. He has been at the head of the navy medical department there from the time the installation was com missioned in May, 1944. Beginning with the commission of lieutenant commander, he rose to the rank of captain in the navy reserve. Prior to coming here, Dr. Coggeshall was medical direc tor of Pan American airways.

The yards non union workers, however, ignored the line. John Christcnson, chairman of the At l strike policy committee, said the session was "just in the 'feeling-out' process. No formal negotiations have yet been scheduled. He added that ! though we are receiving offers from various operators, any pre diction mat tno strixe is near. ing an end is premature.
