In its monthly publication, the Challenge, the ACF termed the outlawing of slots "the greatest victory of its career." The group holds its convention in Boise next week, and a feature will be a "victory dinner." It pushed the "Garden City" case which brought the Supreme Court's sweeping decision against slots and similar devices last month. "Now that the slot machine mon ster has taken a count as a result of the Supreme Court knockout, the Idaho Allied Civic Forces can center : its campaign on the twin survivor," the Challenge said. It said the group would renew Its efforts to "keep beer from minors and from being easily ac cessible to drivers on the high ways." The ACF has been unsuccessful in attempt to have city authorities bar the sale of beer in grocery stores in Boise, Lewiston, Twin Falls and Emmett. - It's time to gather up all those old coat hangers lying on the closet floor, and all those empty pop bottles you've been meaning to return for months. Tomorrow Klamath Falls Cub Scouts will make door to door calls at all the houses in the city limits to, collect wire - bangers and pop bottles lor resale; 'Proceeds win be added to. the March of Dimes cof. fera to be used to help some child walk again. ' The Cub Scouts will start their trek at 9 a.m. Saturday, and house wives are urged to support the collection. Local bottling companies and cleaning establishments are helping in the drive by purchasing the articles. Anyone who Is not contacted or who wishes to aid the Scouts may deliver their, contributions to Coca .Cola Bottling Co., where they will be picked up lor resale. The drive is under the direction of Jack Smith, head Boy Scout master, and is one of several spe cial events being planned by Bob and Tom Perkins, co-chairmen of the special events division of the drive.

Cubs To Aid Dimes Drive Traffic Committee Comes Up With Truck Route Plan Warner Canyon Skiing "Good" LAKE VIEW Ski conditions are "good," according to Don Peters, district forester ranger, at Warner Canyon. The report as of Thursday o p.m. had the temperature 30, withjhe barometer steady and tne sky overcast. The snow was wind packed and damp, 15 inches deep. Peters said the highway from Lakeview to the ski site was dry. The tow and snack bar will be open Saturday and Sunday, subject to any change over Friday night The Cross Town Traffic Commit tee came up with a neat package of recommendations, agreed upon and definite, ready for City Council action in the near future. The com mittee met Thursday night to dis cuss traffic movement, including a truck route, viaduct, by-pass and one way streets, and off-street narkinsr. . . ''Coordination of the entire traffic movement' plan will depend, hoW' ever, on State Highway Engineer Ri H. Baldock's answer to Mayor Paul Landry's proposed change in the truck route. The truck route, as proposid by Landry and the Cross Town Traffic Committee, will start in the vicin ity of Copeland Lumber Yards on Main, go diagonally to 3rd, south on 3rd to Plum, north on Plum to ORk, to Spring and connecting with Highway 97 north. The committee further recom mends that a measure be placed on the ballot for the May 1954 elec tion authorizing a bond issue to raise money for the truck route. The new truck route proposal will eliminate crossing Veterans Memorial Park, which was not in cluded in the State Highway Com mission plans. Mayor Landry ex pects Baldock's reply on this by Jan. 25. The Cross Town Traffic Commit tee's endorsement of an entire highway plan for traffic in Klam ath Falls comprises in addition to the truck route, building a viaduct over the South 6th railroad tracks: establishment of one-way traffic, preferably on 5th and 6th in stead of on 6th and 7th, one wav traffic on Klamath Ave. and Main: and definite establishment of a West Side By-pass and acquisi tion of strategic property tor that purpose. Reason for the suggestion of one-way on 5th and 6th instead of 6th and 7th is the congested traf fic condition, already existing in the Bqst Offlce ren, the - committee stated. If for any reason the proposed truck route does ncc become a real. lty, the committee recommends that one-way traffic on Main and Klamath be deferred until provt sion has been made for construe lion of a truck by-pass or comple- tion of the West Side By-pass. A recommendation on the possi bility of off-street parking was also included in the package of pro posals. The committee voted for urging the City Council to Institute proceedings, at the earliest pos sible date, to create an off-street parking district in the downtown (Continued on page 4) .

Attempted Holdup Ends In Shooting Police officers answering a call to a rooming house at Spring and Elm shortly before noon today ran into a pair of armed gunmen and in the ensuing fracas shot one of them to death. A colored maid at the estab lishment told police in a frenzied call that she had - answered a call to the door and been faced with the two armed men. They forced her into the kitchen, tied her with ropes and then went upstairs. She managed to work free from her bonds, slipped out the back door and ion to the neighboring Klam ath Mlllwork and Supply company, where she placed the call to the police. Officers Jim O'Neill and Carl Jennings responded to the call, where 'Jennings entered the front of the building while O'Neill took the back door. As O'Neill entered he saw one of the gunmen wheel, gun in hand, toward Jennings and fired, fatally wounding the man. The dead man was identified from papers on his person as Edwin Coyle, 8812 20th NE, Seattle. The gunman's accomplice, stand ing on the steps, dropped his gun and surrendered. He was lodged in the city jail, where he gave the name of Raymond J. Bodinet, 31, of 5816 SE 11th Avenue, Portland. A report from 'Lakeview yester day stated that two armed men had staged a rooming house hold up in that city, but the two cases have not definitely been linked. V Farm Proposal Draws Fire WASHINGTON MV-Dark storm clouds massed on the Capitol Hill horizon today for a major feature . of the new farm program Presi dent Eisenhower will present to Congress on Monday, The President said in his mes sage on the state of the union yesterday that he woilld propose that future farm program be built on tne principle of uexmie price guarantees. Of more than 50 Congress mem bers who commented, only two senators gave the flexible price idea warm verbal support. Some were noncommittal; mora voiced opposition. ! Sen. Aiken (B-Vt), chairman ot the Senate Agriculture" Committee, ' said Eisenhower wants "to get a farm program on a sound, long range basis and away from em ergency treatment." That was' a reference to the wartime origin of the present fixed level price props for major commodities. 'Aiken predicted eventual approv al of the administration program. Sen. Clinton Anderson.. (D-NM), former secretary of agriculture, said in a separate interview that most farmers want to get' away from rigid price supports and the rigid controls which accompany them, On the other hand, Sen. East land (D-Mlss) said the flexible price support proposal already is as "dead as a doornail." Sen. Clements (D-KY) predicted it "will encounter very rough weatner."

She lives at 1112 Eldorado with har - mother, Mfa Cherle Low. - - By PATI O'CONNOR A step toward further efficien cy in the development of Klamath Falls parks is the recent appoint ment of Bert Stott as Moore Park superintendent. By releasing him from the tremendous job of admin istering all the parks in the city, the park board's move will make possible development of the many potentialities of Klamath Falls' leading park. - Stott came to Klamath Falls tn 1930, and began his work - for Moore Park April 1. 1937. Two years later he moved into the park, headquarters as chief care taker. His record since then has shown development of increasing acres as parcel by parcel the orig inal 120 acres grew to more than 300. Modern restrooms have been con structed in the picnic area, but work for the future remains smce the interiors still must have finish ing touches. The lighting system has been changed to a three-way system so that the picnic area may be lighted in three separate areas to accom modate large, moderate or small parties. Two plug-ins provide elec tricity for public address systems. Lights on the double tennis court shine on crowds of young and not so young piayers, who make use of these facilities day and night, summer and fall. Moore Park is the only place In Klamath Falls where local children may visit the zoo, and although many of the larger animals were disposed of during the war (due to the meat shortage), Stott plans to enlarge this phase of the park when money Is available for stronger pens. Animals now at the park Include badgers, raccoons, coyote, three bears (and Stott Informs us that due to intercrossing between black and brown bears, one. can't pre dict the color of the animals until they shed; one year they are brown, the next year black.) There are antelope, four varieties of deer, the black tail, English fel low, mule deer and Japanese deer. Superintendent Stott Is looking forward to getting new pheasants lor the park, since several . were lost a few years ago in a bad snow storm. There are, however, some pheasants, peacocks, wild geese, wild Mallards, Honkers, (the large variety of the goose family). Run ning free in the park are many gray squirrels, California blue jays, Canada Jays, chickadees and gros beaks. About February the gros beaks come In Hocks of three or four hundred. Food for the birds Is provided at the park. The days are busy for Stott. Every day in the winter the pens have to be de-iced, warm water nut in mornlnes and afternoons. All the picnic tables must be kept in good repair, painted, ana wasnea every day in summer. Rest rooms are cleaned two and three times a day; ashes and' garbage must be removed. There is grass to cut, shrubs to keep trimmed and in shape, and watering to De aone, eight hours a day in summer. ' Future projects In the park in clude planting of bigger and bet ter flower gardens, enlargement ol the skating rink, construction of a boat dock at the launching point north of the highway. If and when water Is piped to the west hill overlooking Upper Klamath Lake, fireplaces win be built for picnickers. As it Is, fire places are hazardous, but scats have been Installed under the big juniper and a road built where peo ple may take cold luncnes ana have a bird's eye view of the lake. "This Is the park I have always wanted to develop," Stott says. "It 1 the beat park; it attracts far more people than any other one park, and I think it has been neg lected.". The park board's recent decision to have Stott give his un divided attention to Moore Park will certainly be a contributing fac tor to its future growth and development.
