Court Favors Reservation Liquidation Klamath county court ' lias passed resolution favoring pas sage of the so-called Crawford 1)111, providing for liquidation of the Klamath Indian reservation. Court member said their atti tude towurd thu bill Is dictated largely by their concern over the declining tax base In this county. They said liquidation of the re servation's tax-free lands would nut these lands on the tax rolls, adding millions to Klamath county's taxable valuation. The liquidating measure was Introduced bv .Senators Wuyne Morse and Guy Cordon, and its chief sponsor Is Wude Crawford, long-time uctlve figure in reser vation affairs und ut present one of the Indian delegates to wosn Ington. A hearing is scheduled for Klumath Falls some time next month by congressmen con sidering the measure, and the Klamath county court and school districts will present informa tion regarding the costs to the county and the scluiol districts resulting from the presence of the reservation in the county. County Judge Rcedcr said he had been Informed that an effort of Indians to acquire more tax free lunds, either on or off the reservation, has been blocked. This was done by eliminating land-buying funds from budgets, with Senutor Cordon and Cali fornia congressional delegates cooperating In preventing the enlargement of reservations in those two states. In the nine other western states, Indians are acquiring some 40.000 additional acres of land, Recder said. The bill to liquidate the reser vation has not received the ap proval of the Klamath Indian council. Reservation sources said that Hie council had refused to consider it when it was brought before the council by Crawford, Indicating disapproval. Further more, these sources recalled, the Indian council had refused a pro posal from Crawford to put the matter on a ballot for a secret advisory vote by the Indians. The bill Is known as SB 1313. Time and place of the congres sional hearing should be an nounced soon, Rcedcr said. Falsa Alarm The city fire truck was called out on a false alarm which was received at 4:55 p. m.

Main street blossomed with new store fronts that arc architect s dreams in neon lighting, curved glass and roinbow-hued marble. Build ing material was still scarce but construction went ahead. Home building still was not up to par, with only a few people venturing to construct residences. Records in the city building inspector's office show that 1946 construction totaled the highest valuation since 1930. Building permits last year reached $1,138, 805, compared to l?'0's figure of $1,208,027. March was the biggest building month with $225,283, more than the annual totals of 1042, 1943 and 1944.

McComb, county librarian, by her long time friend and co-worker, Mrs. victor U Neili. "The members of the Klamath county court and the Klamath county library board dtuiro to express their appreciation of the services rendered the entire community by the late Mary L. McComb, county librarian, and their deep regret at her untimely death. "Mis McComb was most effi cient, far-sighted, and untiring in h e r work, having extended the services of the library to its present capacity and having raised its standards to its present position as one of the finest libraries in t h e state. Always loyal to her community, she was unwearying in her efforts to serve, giving of herself freely under every circumstance and to everyone, children and adults alike. She won a woman of fine personality and excellent taste, with the highest ideals of true Christianity, Ideals converted into service to others. "Miss McComb will be greatly missed in Klamath county, not only by her large circle of per sonal friends but also by the schools, the branch libraries, and the community in general." Signed: U. E.

Pneumonia Cases Gain A warning to adults as well as youngsters was issued by the Klamath -county health unit, urging caution when colds appear as numerous cases of pneumonia continue to be re ported from hospitals and homes. Bad colds have been reoort- ed in a veritable rash and in numerous cases influenza has turned into pneumonia. There is an especially hieh rate of pneumonia in children, it was learned. Dr. J. Martin Adams, Klam ath county health officer, ad- vised parents to keep their children out of crowds, to put them to bed when signs of colds are noted, and to watch their diet carefully. Lack of rest dur ing the holidays was one of the contributing . factors in the large number of colds and pneumonia cases, it was ob served. PLEASANT SURPRISE SHANGHAI.

Camp Fire News During the holidays, our Guardians association has been actively working on its plans for the improvement and repair of the Camp Fire Girls house. Through the kindness of many organizations and merchants in town, there have been donated many articles which were needed to further the attractiveness and usefulness of our house. We have received wood, paint, curtain material, kitchen utensils and a congolcum rug, to mention a few of the items, and for the past few days some of our leaders and girls, under the direction of Mrs. Dorothy McMahon. chair man of the house committee, have been working on the re decoration and remodeling of the rooms. The new year will find the Camp Fire Girls with a good start on making the house a bit more cheerful and comfort able. In their Christmas plans, most of the groups held individual parties where they presented their mothers- with gifts which had been made tn previous meet ings and enjoyed the festive spirit with songs, games and re freshments. Mrs. Wesley Guder ian's groups of Blue Birds and Camp Fire Girls of the Conger school held a joint party at her home. The Riverside group had a wienie roast at the Camp Fire house, followed soon by the Pawea group of Fairview school. The Daffodil, Pansy, Rose and Daisy groups of Blue Birds held subsequent gatherings, all great ly enjoyed by the hostesses and guests alike. The climax of the pre-Christ-mas plans of the Camp Fire Girls was our carolling program. In a truck supplied by the Junior chamber of commerce, some 30 girls braved the icy gales and low-hanging branches of trees to sing traditional carols through out the city. It is hoped that this will become a part of the Camp Fire Girl Christmas plans for the coming years.
