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

tion program with adequate
leadership.
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

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

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.

Trucks Turned Back
Continuing Its drive to halt
movement of all lumber, tho
AFL Lumber and Sawmill Work
ers union said it turned back 25
trucks of lumber from CIO mills
here. Drivers who refused to
return were followed to their
destination for establishment of
picket lines.
One small retail yard, Wilson
Lumber company, was picketed
nere today. 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. The
majority of large operators.
working through their associa
tions, are still refusing to negoti
ate with us."
Wage negotiations between
CIO lumber works and north
west operators were resumed to
day and at the same time an
agent for one group, of Oregon
mills idle In the three week old
strike of 61,000 AFL sawmill

labor department conciliation
commission for more than a

lamette valley Lumber oper
ators' association to discuss set
tlement of AFL demands was
the first . bid by an operators'
group in the four states.

Maxwell Presents
James Maxwell, nron execu
tive of tho YMCA, was present
at tno meeting, una discussed
building plans at some lungth
He suggested tho possibility of s
building costing in tho neighbor
hood of $250,000 to houso all the
community services proposed for
Klamiith Fulls. There was some
discussion of the possibility of
using tho present USO building,
11th and Walnut, after tho USO
program is concluded.
Club rooms, lounge room,
swimming pool, gymnasium,
snack bar and other facilities
were proposed for the center
here. Dr. Riggs emphasized his
opinion that it should be a
YMCA-YWCA set-up for b o t h
sexes.
From those present at tho
night meeting there wero ex
pressions of enthusiasm over
such a program and,' It was
agreed, that if the community
support Is forthcoming the cen
ter would fill a great need here.
There was some discussion of tho
possibility that the center would
Include a lounge, rest rooms and
meeting place for visitors com
ing into Klumath Falls from
nearby areas to shop, filling a
business need felt In this city.
Financial support for a "Y"
center would be raised locally.
Upkeep of tho suggested build
ing would amount to something
around $7000 annually. Other
costs would Include tho program
and salory of workers. Part of
current financing would come
from memberships, and an an
nual contribution of possibly
$10,000 would be needed from
the community chest or in simi
lar manner. In some places,
dormitories are a source of rev
enue for YMCA and YWCA
centers.
