(For Hal Boyle)
EDITOR'S Note: Charles
Honce la Hal Boyle's boa in AP
Mewsfeatnres.
NEW YORK m Hal Boyle,
. who is on vacation, will be back
' ; in this spot Monday. That is, un
less I receive a wire lrom mm
saying that another AP publisher
wants him to give a speech some
where or otner.
It's a curious coincidence that
these wires alwavs seem to come
when Hal and Frances are hav
ing a winter vacation in Florida.
oo i nave my lingers crosseu.
This will explain why there have
Been so many extra by-lines run
ning for Boyle this week and why
here it is obvious that we have
reached the bottom of the pile.
There is one other hazard about
the next Boyle Column. That is,
whether he can find his desk when
be returns.
When he left it was piled so
high with an incredible accumula
tion of letters, papers, messages
and odds and ends of infinite vari
ety that It constituted hands down
the eighth wonder of the world.
Before he kissed it goodbye he
wrote this note on a large sheet of
paper and placed it on top of the
heap:
, Please do not disturb!
No. Justice Carter is
Mot here, so don't look for him
Hal Boyle
- Jan. 9, 1952 -P.
S. ril be back in two weeks.
Strangely enough, someone has
always picked up this note and
placed it on top of each new day's
shower of mail and oddments.
So If Hal doesn't get back pronto
I'm afraid that the floor will give
way or an Inspector will cite us for
violation of the building code.
However, don't get the idea that
x Boyle can fool me with this Ever-
est of miscellany.
, t am certain that he has never
missed any important letter or doc
; ument that came to his desk in
spue oi his patient attempt to
create the impression that it is all
a mystery to him.
If necessary, and with his eyes
closed, he can reach in and pull
out any item that he wants to pro
duce. I have told him he is only one of
any number of newspaper people
I have known who apparently de
light In working by a cluttered
desk.
I particularly recall Ed Rack
away of the Mt. Vernon (111.) Register-News.
I used to visit Ed in my news
paper travels out of Chicago in
the late twenties and I was eternal
ly fascinated by his sanctum sanc
torum. Ed in those days had a roll top
desk, which, you may recall, con
tains any number of mysterious
drawers and cubby holes. Not only
the cubby holes, but the whole
desk, the top and the surrounding
floor were littered with an accum.
ulatlon that would have popped ev-
cu xiui Buyie s eyes.
But when I asked Ed if he knew
what was in what looked like the
end result of an atomic bomb ex
plosion, ne said "certainly," pluck
ed a letter at random, said it was
about such and such a subject.
and sure enough It was.
I could name several other de
votees of this strange practice, in
cluding some of Boyle's nearby
deskmates, who apparently have
caught the disease from him.
Now I must correct one state
ment I made about Boyle being
able to place his hands on any
thing he wants. There is one ex
ception. Whenever I ask him if he re
ceived my notes about getting his
expense accounts up on the line, in
variably ne looks at me with that
bland, mid-western innocent look
and says, "Why, no."
Luckily I don t have to worry
about expense accounts this time
since he is on vacation. All I have
to worry about is whether you get
column at the proper time.

How many people would build a new house and make
no provisions for a place to sit, or a bed in which to sleep?
Then again, what industrialist would prepare elaborate plans
for a new mill without placing all the machinery necessary
to perform the duties for which the plant was originally
designed?
Obv!ously, in each instance those involved would be
classified as either short sighted or just plain nuts. We build
a new house to provide living quarters and all the things we
consider essential to our own standards of life. The indus
trialist builds his plant to house the equipment needed to do
the job in order to turn out his product.
We in Klamath Falls are faced with exactly the same
problem as the two hypothetical examnles set forth above.
Our citizens have provided shelter in the new YMCA build
ing, yet there is something lacking. The furniture, or the
machinery hasn't been installed. We have the building, but
before we can do the job that has been designed for this
activity, we must have equioment to conduct the myriad of
activities that will be available by the "Y'
What is necessary to put our house in order? It boils
down to this. To put the project on a sound basis, thecom
mittee in charge has paid for all the building costs, the re
modeling costs, and other expenses incurred to date. This
left no other available money, to put in any equipment. This
is commendable because the group has no outstanding debts
and does not contemnlate going in debt for anv item regard
less of how badly it is needed.
What then is the cause for the lack of this equipment?
Simply this. All cost that has been expended to date has
come from revenue of pledges of individuals in this area.
However, there are certain individuals who have seen fit not
to honor the pledge they signed in good faith. When they are
contacted regarding this matter they become evasive, or say
any number of things that constitute a "brush-off". We need
those pledges to complete the job we have undertaken. We
can provide wholesome and constructive play time to a wide
range of age groups and have a pride of ownership and a job
well done by our own people, for the benefit of our own
people.
There was no coercion when teams were sent out to sub
scribe nledges. Each indivdual signed his pledge of his own
free will. We are asking that those pledges be honored in the
same way in which they were initially obtained. By so doing,
we can fill our house with "furniture . Honor your nlcdge if
you haven't already done so.Wlso, others who would like to
participate in this important and worthwhile community pro

complete this project with you in '52.
