Added Funds Asked By Recreation Department A request from the recreation department for an over-tho-bud-get appropriation was greeted with wide discussion and varied opinion among the city council members at their first meeting of the new year held last night. E. E. Hambrick, recreation director, presented his case ex plaining that more money is needed to maintain the Victory Basketball league. "Last year we had eight teams," Hambrick said, "but this year we have 18." Funds allotted for basketball this year were based on expendi tures of last season. The recre ation needs a minimum of $360, more to continue its basketball activities, Hambrick stressed. Only $278 was budgeted for this purpose. In answer to a question by Councilman Pau' " andry, Hambrick sai " J main expense is i- .. i ame of ficials, who .;eive $2.50 per game against .he standard $7.50 paid in school games. The total cost for maintain ing the league will be $634.80, Hambrick estimated. Greeted With Sighs Hambrick's request was greet ed with sighs of resignation from the council as it decided to con fer with the budget committee to find out where the money could come from with a report scheduled next Monday. There is money in the recreation fund but the question concerns the budget. In the meantime. Ham- Morse Wants Colleges To Run All Year WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 (jip) Colleges would operate the year around and "much longer hours each day" under a proposal ad vanced today by Senator Morse (R-Ore.) He offered it as one way to meet the problem of over crowding by veterans, wnose Uncle Sam is footing their tui tion bill. Morse made the suggestion in an interview' in which he said the administration's handling of veterans housing at colleges "is a disgraceful record constituting bad faith." The Oregon senator is a form , ex faculty member of the Uni versities OI VVlSCUDSlIl HUQ IU1U- nesota and served a term as dean of the University of Oregon's law school. Not Alarmed But another ex-college pro- lessor, unairman Albert u. Thomas (D-Utah) of the senate ' military committee, saw nothing to get aiarmea aDout in tne hordes of college-bound veterans. "They'll adjust to it," Thomas told a reporter, referring both to the colleges' efforts to make room, and to tb.e would-be stu- flonte' nlana 4 n man nut a miiHa they can handle. Thomas, once a political science professor at the Uni- Tersity ot utan and a visiting professor at the University of California, said: "Some students will find they have attempted too much and will drop out Some colleges wnicn nave naa small enroll' ments have never tried very bard to handle more they'll xina tney can. Youth Draws Life Sentence VALE, Ore., Jan. 8 (IP) Floyd Martin Pousson, 17, today laced a lite term in the Oregon penitentiary after pleading guil ty to a charge of second degree murder of Natsukl Kurisu, 61, a Japanese-American resident of near Ontario. Pousson, who was arrested in Dalhart, Tex., Oct. 12 in posses sion oi me car Belonging to the aged Nisei, was sentenced here yesterday by Judge M. A. Biggs. The Lake Charles, La., youth was charged with slaying the Japanese-American in Malheur county Oct. 6, 1945 at a point in the westelands several . miles north of Ontario. Kurisu had given Pousson a "lift" from La- brande toward Ontario. The Japanese-American's body was found Oct. 16 after an ex tensive hunt by sheriff's officers ana relatives. THE CLUB BLY, ORE. Bar Dancing Bowling "Coma in as you are," LEWIS WITTERS, Prop. brick was instructed to go ahead with his basketball plans. City Engineer E. A. Thomas told the council that he has con tacted the state hldhway depart ment concerning the repair of the asphalt pavement on main from 7th to 9th. The highway department has agreed to under take the job not with a new con crete strip as Thomas suggested, but with asphalt replacement. The council accepted the deci sion. In a recent letter to the Klam ath heating plant, the council advised that something be done about the escapement of steam from the company's pipes on Klamath and Main and on Klam ath and Walnut. The heating plant replied that the work is being done now. Structure Condemned A letter from the county health officer. Dr. Peter Rozen dal, condemning a structure at 937 Klamath, was read before the council. Pictures of the build ing 'were shown. Dr. Rozendal termed the condition of the shack both inside and out as ex tremely unsanitary and that it should be removed. The council asked the chief of police and the fire chief to investigate the affair and present a written re port at the next meeting. When Fire Chief Ambrose suggested they sign Dr. Rozendal's letter, the council asked that each of the chiefs write his own report. The involved matter of the site for the city-county jail and the claim to a strip of property by the Modoc Lumber company brought about a state of confu sion in the minds of the council. It was finally postponed indefi nitely with the city attorney looking into the affair. The state highway department project of widening S. 6th was left suspended in mid-air while councilmen grappled with the complexities of moving poles, meter valves, and water mains to enable the project to get un derway. The general feeling was that it will be some time before the triangular affair twixt the power company, the city, and the state will be worked out. Veteran Appears David O. Flynn, a newly returned veteran, appeared be fore the council with an aoDeal that the city allow him to live in a small, old house located on his property at 2323 Garden, until a new home on the same lot can be completed. Flynn's mother is living there now, and his wife and child will come to Klamath Falls soon. Be cause of the difficulty of finding i a place to rent while buildine a ! house, Flynn asked that he and his family be allowed to live there until a new home is avail able. The council granted his request with a time limit of one year. At the end of that time the older structure must be demolished. It had been pre viously condemned, they ad- visea. January 15 was the deadline set by the council for aDDlica- tions for all kinds of city licens es. Twenty-nine restaurant 11 censes were granted for the new year, along with seven meat dealers' licenses, eight barbel and beauty shop licenses, one billiard and poolhall license, one card license, and one bowling alley license. The council elected Paul O Landry as president for the new year. llllil liilllllB 3 By JOAN O'NEILL Since this week's activities are non-existent because of final semester exams. Die high school column is go ing to feature some of the things that make KUHS the school that it is. Secret Garden KUHS has a secret garden hidden among its halls. Not students up at Jm N,lu school have noticed it or even heard of it for it is located off one of the side halls. The only wav it can be glimpsed by most of the kids is by looking up from a little hall by the cafeteria. One may actually enter the lit tle plot of ground by gaining ac cess to the dramatic storage room, plowing through a good deal of props, opening a door, and descending a small flight of stairs. At one time the garden was a beauty spot in the KUHS halls, but now it only amounts to a minute pool and a few dried weeds. The garden was original ly built by Otto -Kruger, a for mer KUHS janitor. KUHS Graveyard? One of the other things that is a source of at least a little bit of interest on the KUHS grounds is the rock that slightly resembles a tombstone. Ihis stone is placed on the side lawn near the side door leading to the library. Despito its slight resemblance to a tombstone it is really a mon ument to a tree. The Daughters oi me American nevoiuuon i planted a tpee near this monu-: ment which iy a descendant of : the original Washington elm. ! This tree, which is supposed to ; be a grandchild of the original, i was planted on Arbor Day 14 years ago. Malin Changes Hands MALIN Jim Loe, long-time business man ot Miilin and Mer rill, today announced sale of the large brick building on Main street formerly occupied by the Malin bank. New owner of the structure is John Hebcr, Klam ath county commissioner and Malin resident. Part of the building is now oc cupied by tho Malin post office, the J. W, Sanders real estate of fice and the remainder as living quarters. Loe will rent the Main street room, now being remodeled, as a pool hall. He operated such a business in the building when It was first built a number of years ago. Reber, manager of the Malin Cheese company, did not announce the purchase price of the building. It is understood to be a private venture. 2 Motorists Escape Injury In Collision TULELAKE Raymond Pol lard, 61, Santa Barbara, Calif., and Chester Scott, 26, Morrill, drivers of two cars, escaped in jury Saturday night in a head-on collision one and one-half miles south of the state line on the Al turas highway, Scott's car, traveling north, went out of control into the southbound traffic lane and col lided with the Pollard machine.
