Roblnjon. member city recreation committee and park board My Interest In the Teen-Ate club Is and has been twofold since Its earliest beilnnlnt. As an active member of the First Presbyterian church I have lonx been concerned with the welfare of not onlv uur own Presbyterian younc people hut the young people of the entire city a well. My appointment to the city recreation committee some years aro save me the opportunity to render worthwhile assistance to them. I tisve sal In on their coun. ells, foutht their battles, made their problems mv own. Now that they have reached this milestone of success, as evidenced by their snlrn. did bulldini I rejoice with them.

Klamath Falls The official onenlnf of the Teen. Afe center mrkes a milestone of progress In the Klamath basin. At last a place has been provided, where our youth can meet under proper guidance, with a good whole some atmosnhere. ftr the untiring ef'orts of a few and the heln of msny. this has been accomnlished. II must be remembered that manv of our younr people who will lake advantage of the facilities offered be the club, hare no other piare to be entertained, or entertain their friends. This fact alone should recom mend the center to all right think Ing people. Congratulations ts ail who made this possible. The new Teen-Age center has mv heartiest endorsement and support. F. C. Wlssenbach. rector, St. Prill's Eo's-onnl church It Is with great satisfaction that I hear of the new organisation of th Teen-Age center for the bovs and girls, and bv (hem, of their own clnb. The running of their own or ganization, their considered activ ities, seem to me to be the nucleus around which much of the social activities of the vounrsters of our ettv can be channelled Into useful, decent and satisfying wavs. With the election of their pres. ent officers my hope and praver for the club Is that It mav tunc tlon as a center for truly soclsl minded action for the good and for oleasure and also as a means for hcalthv and wholesome rerrratlan for all tyoes of boys and girls of the community. The rlub itself, as well as the ad visors and counselors of the club, are to be congratulated for the es tablishment of this rlub and lo be thanked by the members of the whole community for their Interest and for the lime given by them. With a prayer for success In the venture. Rodney Bell, Klamath Union hit!) school Junior I have been Interested In the Teen-Age group since I was a frosh. I think It's a good deal. The trouble Is thai most of the kids here have had no place to go to do as they wished. The Klamath llasln Teen Age renter will give us some place of our own, and a chance In prove ourselves to the adults of the com munity. Samuel Smith, superintendent of I recreation. City of Klamath Falls- There la an urgent need for a place In our cllv for the teen-age grouo to meet and enjoy wholesome rrcrrntlon. This fart Is recognised by all of us but we have been un successful In the past In provid er such a renter for a very long period. The Klamath flasin Teen-Age center Is now ready to nnen. There Is every reason to believe II will lie a success. The plans have been carefully laid bv both the adults and the teen-agers, the program of arllvlllrs Is good, the location and arrangement of the center Is sutlsfartory, and the leadershln good and resneeted by both the adults and youth. I wish lo assure the Klamath Basin Teen-Age center of mv sun port and orge all teen-agers to take advantage of II and hone parents will encourage their voung men and women to participate In the pro gram. Orvllle Hemlltnn. chief of nollce I have followed the develonment of the Flamath llasln Teen-Age center with keen Interest. Rereral attemnts at this tvpe of activity hsve failed, hut the nresent center seems to be more solldtv organised and has been plsnned by both youth and adults. The Ktsmath Basin Teen-Age center will prove one of the best activities for our teen-aee group and will be a strong fsrtnr In proper guidance of this group. I am giving the center mv full simport and urge the peonte of Klemath county to supoorl II and the youth to lake advantage of It L. L. Low, sheriff of Klamath count v I consider the establishment of the Klamath Basin Teen-Age ren ter a most worthy protect, as it will give our youth a olace to hold social gatherings, a place for read j In, for nlavlng games and. In fart. will afford those of teen-age a I nlsce for clean, wholesome recrea tion, thereby eliminating street walking and some of our Juvenile delinquency. The cltlsenry of our city and county should back up this worthy rause 100 per cent, for with prooer sl.pervl.ion I feel II Is Indlsnensahle. Let's rive our youth something worthwhile. Ronald R Hewitt, probation of ficer. Juvenile department, circuit ci.urt of Klnmath county As a result of the complesily of modern living, the home Is no long er the center of family recreation. Those lulerrsled In the development of lelsurr-tlme activities for teen age youth have recognised the Im portant role of the youth center In such a program. The tceu-age linys and girls are thus offered an up. niirlunlty to demonstrate bv par ticipation that they can take their dace in the life of the community. Therefore It Is with a strong hrllrf hi the rlllfcus of tomorrow that I wish the Teen-Age eenler and Its program every possible success. K W. Tlchenor. seriieiint. Oregon state police. Ktnmalh Falls It Is mv firm belief that the Teen Age centee should he msde a per manent thing In this county as I am sure that II will have a great tendency to hold Juvenile rirlln nuencv at a minimum. 1 do not be lieve there la as murh Juvenile de llnquenev In Klamath countv as some peoole would have us believe, however, I am sure that grouns such as our Teen-Age center will cause delinquency to hi! an all time low.
