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. Thursday from 250

7946 Building in Klamath
Highest Since 1930 Peak
By Edna KUlmayer
Klamath Falls got a real
beauty treatment In 1948. 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.

Tribute Paid
Mary McComb
The following tribute was
phrased at the request of the
Klumath county court and the
mamain county HDrary board in
memory of Mary L. 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."

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.

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.
