RECONCILED
HOLLYWOOD UP. The comely
Zsa Zsa Gabor and Actor George
Sanders are reconciled, she says,
but it may not last, especially if
he continues to maintain his bach

I just can't take it and I don't
believe any woman could.
"It's too bad, because I love
him and I believe he loves me,

Fifty-one persons were taken to
the Oregon State Prison from
Klamath County last year.
Of that number nine were be
tween the ages of 17 and 19 years,
Several weeks ago veteran crim
inals in the prison were inter.
viewed by three University of Ore
gon students doing work in psy
chology and sociology.
The veteran criminals those
with 25 or more years of crime
behind them had this to say about
ine younger generation.
According to Associated - Press
reporter Paul Harvey at Salem,
the "veterans" expressed them
selves as worried over the future
of the younger generation.
The oldtimers who hare seen
a good many come and go from
the State Prison said they were
sorry to see so many youncr fel
lows coming Into prison and they
wished they could make the young
fellows see what is going to happen
to them unless they reverse their
criminal ways.
Several weeks ago Wallace Turn
er, special assignment reporter for
the Oregonian was in the Herald &
News office.
Turner said every time he goes
to the State Prison it seems to
him the Inmates get younger.
What does all this signify for
we future oi Oregon?
What kind of citizens are the
younger generation of today going
to oe?
The problem of "How We Can
Better Build Tomorrow's Citizens?
will be the topic of the first In a
series of panel discussion pro
grams starting on Radio Station
tuiiW next Monday at 3:30 p.m.
A panel of seven exrjerts has
been chosen to discuss this timely
topic on the first of a series of
radio programs sponsored by the
Herald and News and KFLW. The
program Is entitled. "Build the
Basin."
Believing that the greatest as
set for bulkling the Klamath Ba
sin is its citizens, staff members

Tomorrow's Citizens?" as the
most timely topic to inaugurate
ims interesting series oi programs.

nent problems as future of the
lumber Industry In the Klamath
area, the potato ceiling fight, the

Since the close of World War n
a total of 352 new homes have
been erected within the corporate
nmiu oi tuamatn r ails.
The number Is not startling in
size, but It does show that a good
many people, even In the face of
rising construction costs and wide
spread fear of a decline in iobs
mid prosperity, hud faith enough in
tun ma m fans to build homes here,
Home building isn't done on the
spur of the moment. For the aver
age family it is something that
nappens just once in a itieitme, so
they don't Jump into it blind. Thev
either figure they're set weil
enough to pay out Uie house in the
years to come and continue to live
in It, or that if circumstances
arise so they'll have to sell Uiey
can get their money out of it.
The few years since World War
n have been rather critical ones
for Klamath Falls in a lot of ways,
and there was a considerable feel
ing of defeat. Some mills went out
of operation and some population
was lost.
But In the main, the milse of
the city settled stronger. It Isn't
dead and it isn't even sick.
And probably every one of the
353 homes built bus already or will
in uie long run turn out to be a
good investment.
Atom Gun
Shown Solons
WASHINGTON (. The mllliArv
Friday showed the Senate-House
tomic Committee a model oi an
artillery gun designed to handle
atomic sneiis.
, The model was enclosed in a
concealing wooden box when car
ried into and from a close-door
session of the committee.
Chairman McMahon tD.-Conn.)
declined comment when reporters
asked him whether the model was
that of a gun already actually con
structed or was made from the
blueprint of a gun still to be built.
McMahon said the committee
memoers looted at the model and
discussed it. He declined to say
more, except that the model had
been brought to the committee ses
sion oy an ordnance officer.
It was the first time, he added,
that such a model had been shown
to the committee.
Industries To
Hold Clinic
The fiuure of S5S was obtained
from city building permits, and
broken down to years it has run
like this:
From September, 1945, through
the remainder of that year, seven;
64 111 1946, 51 111 1947, 56 In 194H,
20 in 1949, 102 in 1950 and 52 Ulis
past year, 1951.
In each of the years, remodeling
Jobs of verylng magnitude received
city permits In a ratio of about
four remodeling jobs to one now
residence.
Just how many new residences
have been constructed in Uie coun
ty, outside town, is almost Impos
sible to say. No building permits
are needed for construction out
side of town and so there aren't
any dependable records. But the
proDablllty is that at least an addi
tional 600 homes were constructed
m uie suburban area and out In
the county In Uie same period of
time.
Construction nermits issued here
in isai had a valuation of $1,191.,
436 overall a considerable do-
crease from the $1,946,594 of 1950.
How closely building Dcrmit fig
ures follow actual constructions Is
something to argue about. But a
ouuoer nere estimated this week
that a house that could have been
put up for $8,000 In 1946 would run
$13,000 now. That's a 50 ner cent
Jump.
The city's building permit figures
snow a soniewnal higher percent
ace.
For Instance, the average permit
lasen out in i46 lor a new rest
dence was just $5,000. In 1947 the
average was for $6,625 (OPA ceil
ing prices went off): in 1948 the
average was $7,875: in 194P It was
$8,000; in 1950 it was $9,880: and
In 1951 Uie average was $10,700.
Maybe a $5,000 house of 1946
would cost 513,700 to build today.
Or maybe the average house-builder
has stepped up the class of
construction a little.
One thing virtually all homes In
what Is called Uie Klamath Basin,
have hi common is electricity fur
nished by the California Oregon
Power Company, and that com
pany's records show a rather
steady but likewise not spectaculiir
growth in Uie number of power
users.
For instance. In Klamath county
(all the county except the Cheinult-
GIlchrlst-Crescent-LBplne area) the
company had in 1945 an average
or 1J.06J customers. Two years
later Uie average had grovvn to
u.oia; m im it was 14,018: In
1949 when certain mills and com
munities (like Ivory Pine) folded
up the average was 13,936: in 1950
it had gone back up to 14.256 and
as of Nov. 30, 1951, Uie average
was 14.536.
During 1951 the Copco system in
the Klamath Basin Klamath coun
ty plus the Tulelake area and
Butte Valley had a net gain of 293
new services. In other words, it
added 293 more connections to Its
service man were cut off. In 1950
Its net gain in services was 345,
and in 1949 it was 449.
The big 1949 figure seems not to
Jibe with the fact that in 1949 hi
Klamath county Copco showed a
decrease of 82 in the average num
ber of customers it served, com
pared to Uie previous year.
But that year Uie company had
136 new installations in the Tule-1
