Hal Ogle Leads Party On Tour Of KFPA Net Br BILL JENKINS The itrrt lap of a two-day in spection tour of KFPA facilities was taken yesterday by eiEht men under the leadership of Hal Ofle, KFPA head, when the croup traveled to both the new headquarters of the KFPA and to the Parker mountain lookout on' the MedfordAshland road. The tour started at the Will ard hotel, where the group met for lunch prior to leaving for the headquarters site. The new headquarters, located at the junction of the Wecd-Ashland roads, is still under construction, and the dale trial the organiza tion will move in is still indeter minate. However, officials showed tile group through the plant. Included among buildings already up ate the main office buildings, containing rooms for the supervisor, head dispatcher, clerks and file rooms; a large maintenance and storage build ing and the pump house. The main offices are located at the brow of the hill directlv behind the junction, command ing a view of the entire ba.in across lower lake and down to Shasta in the south. Built of knotty pine, both inside and out, the building features snecially constructed corners, bolted at the juncture with fou'inch quarter round specially cut at Weyerhaeuser mill. The outside of the building is also built of quarter round, giving the ap pearance of a log house. Inside, the building is constructed en tirely of pine, some being left clear, such as the main recep tion room and offices, and other rooms being stained a slightly darker brown to relieve glare and monotony. Two-Story Structure The maintenance shed is a . two-story structure, with a hose 'kloft built into the attic. Here there are shelves built along the entire length of the building, each with a four-inch drop on either end from the center, for drying hoses. Other features in clude a drive-in ramp in order that trucks may come directly into the building to unload heavy equipment and capacious storage rooms on the main floor. The pump house, to the north of the other two buildings, con tains a pump capable of pump ing 55 gallons per minute, and a 500-gallon pressure tank for filling hose trucks. The well is 230 feet deep, although water was hit at 170 feet. The entire building is weather proofed. The exact date that the KFPA will move into the. buildings is not known as there is consider able construction to be finished yet, and no moves can be made at the height of the fire season, when all equipment will be needed. Radio communica tions for the 50 watt transmitter will have to be set up, although that will be a short job, accord ing to Ogle. There are three towers, all of them mounted on cement blocks and, bolted to heavy angle irons. Radio Contact Maintained Following the inspection of the quarters the party left. In two cars, for the Parker moun tain lookout. Constant contact was maintained on the trip via radio in Ogle's car, and soon latter leaving headquarters k fire was reported on the Case beer ; ranch near Biy. Other cars were j called into action by tne short wave radio, and the extent of I tne tire was determined by the ! time the party had reached the 1 lookout station nigh atop Par i ker mountain. Hrre again the radio was called into use to con ; lirm the findings of the look j outs. The fire was on grazing land, which comes under the I jurisdiction of the Taylor graz- nig fen, ice, but since there are j almost no men lett in Oregon under this authority and the ' fire might easily spread to land ; under KFPA Jurisdiction, two ! men were dispatched to the I scene. ! inspection of the lookout I proved it to be well located, hav- ing a view from the Klamath , area this side of Hogback, clear down into California and well j over toward the Greensprings I s u m m 1 1 . Food supplies are i i brought into the lookout station J j once a week by Johnny Wallace, I j KFPA commissary chief, who , sees to it tliat the men are well j ; equipped, as well as well fed. I i The entire area under the eyes j 1 of the lookout is at present clos- j ! ed to the public because of ex- j j treme fire hazard, and signs are j 1 posted along the highway to this effect ft every road. I Penny Springs Camp i On the way back from the Parker lookout a brief stop was made at the Penny springs main tenance camp, where an emer gency crew of three fire fight ers is stationed throughout the dangerous fiie season. These i men are on stand-by duty at all i times for use in any fire in the district. The camp is on the I curve of the road halfway up ; Parker mountain and not far : out from EUingson's mill. - i Radio played the final part in the afternoon's trip, when the ! Case beer fire was reported spreading and three men were dispatched from the Klamath ! headquarters to give aid in fight- j ing the fire. These men were i helped out in the job by a pick- j up, several spray tanks and a small bulldozer, and at last re- ports had the fire well under control. j Men who made the trip in- i eluded Ernie Bubb, Nelson Reed 1 and George Davis, well-known Klamath business men; Ernest ; Kolbe, of the Western Pine as sociation: Dave Hoss. of radio i station KFJI, and Clyde Mar tin, Bill Price and Fred Goeller. ! all of the Weyerhaeuser Timber I company. The basenji, a breed of hunt- ' ing dog from Africa, is unable to bark but can growl loudly when irritated. I MHHPMIMffllVVM 1 1 -i" " Mr. and Mrs. E. G.

Watch For Opening Date Your Continued Patronage will be appreciated 1j38 Main St. Klomo Thirty years ago, In Forbid den Tibet, behind the highest mountains in the world, a young Englishman named Ed win J. Dingle found the answer to this question. A great mys tic opened his eyes. A great change came over him. He real ized the strange Power that Knowledge gives. That Power, he says, can transform the life of anyone. Questions, whatever they are, can be answered. The problems of health, death, poverty and wrong can be solved. In his own case, he was brought back to splendid heal'.h. He acquired wealth, too, as well as world-wide professional recognition. Thirty years ago, he was sick as a man could be and live. Once his coffin was bought. Years of almost con tinuous tropical fevers, broken bones, near blindness, privation and danger had made a human wreck of him, physically and mentally. He was about to be sent back to England to die, when a strange message came "They are waiting for you in Tibet." He wants to tell the whole world what he learned there, under the guidance of the great est mystic he ever encountered during his twenty-one years in the Far East. He wants every one to experience the greater health and the Power, which there came to him. Within ten years, he was able to retire to this country with a fortune. He had been honored by fellowships in the world's leading geographical societies for his work as a geographer. And today, 30 years later, he is still so athletic, capable of so much work, so young in ap pearance! it is hard to believe he has lived so long. As a first step in their prog ress toward the Power that Knowledge gives, Mr. Dingle wants to send to readers of this paper a 9000-word treatise. He says the time has come for it to be released to the Western World, and offers to send it, free of cost or obligation, to sincere readers of this notice. For your free copy, address The Institute of Mentalphysics, 213 South Hobart Blvd., Dept. 420-A, Los Angeles 4, Calif. Readers are urged to write promptly, as only a limited number of the free books have been printed. Adv. Dining apd Dancing Bor Open at 10:00 a. m. Daily. No Meals Served Mondays.
