area and distances In miles. On
the last page was printed a de

Several thousand copies of the
folder were ordered In 1949 from
the Klamath Printing Company In
Klamath Falls and maiUrf tn -h,.
bers of commerce, automobile as
sociations, major oil companies and
other interested agencies through
out the United States and Canada.
Copies were handed out personally
by local business people topping
ucrc.
on March 8, 1950, . a group of
Fort Klamath business people met
and organised the Fort Klamath
Business Association. Mrs. Mvrtla
Wlmer was named secretary-man-ager
and still serves in that capa
city. The advisory board Includes
Guss A. Page, Carl F. Wilson and
J. Quince Buell.
Each succeeding year, thousands
of the advertising .folders have
been mailed in addition to those
given away locally
In 1951, a large directive sign
was placed on the Henry Gordon
property at worden, in cooperation
with Tulana Farms officials;
During the three years that fol
lowed, cattle In the adfacent fields
damaged the sign and finally It
was oiown aown by high winds.
This vear a new sign waa erected.
It was built by the Wilson broth
ers, painted and lettered by Lefty
Wild Eagle Wilder and was set
up by local men at the same place
the old sign had stood. As the
field Is planted to grain now and
there are no cattle in the vicinltv.
chances are that the second well-
anchored sign will be a permanent
fixture at Worden.
Entire cost of the advertising
project, including folders, distribu
tion expenses, signs, and miscel
laneous expenses, is born by busi
ness establishments of Fort Klam
ath. Membership In the town Is
100 per cent and the annual cost
per firm averages around 130. All
labor is donated.
Additional projects in which the
association has participated since
its inception in 1950, include con
tributing to a full page of adver
tising In the 1952 American Legion
state convention program for the
Klamath Falls meeting, the annual
clearing of debris from Annie
Creek in the valley for the pur
pose of flood control, and sponsor
ship for two years of the Fert
Klamath community float in the
annual Fourth of July Klamath
Basin Roundup parade in Klamath
Falls.
Each firm contributes financially
to the work of local flood control
which Is carried out each year.
The Fort Klamath community
float has won high awards for the
last three years.
This year, 10.000 copies of the
travel folder were ordered. During
the winter and spring, many re
quests came to the secretary ky
mall from outside the state. In
creased travel to the park by
way of Fort Klamath Is proving
that the concerted efforts of the
business people In the community
is paying off.

Report On Ncfv Credit Rule
Home buying and eoastrueUan

by tighter credit restriction 1 re
cently ordered by the federal keui
Ing and veteran's administrations.
This is the feeling ef local real,

The VA has wiped, eut.lts pre
vious rule which did net require
a down payment on the purehese
price. This will have little bearing
on the local situation, however, he
cause a down payment has eeea e
prerequisite in. ell home buying
here, even before V. restrlettos.
Tne two per cent change means
that aaoo will be added t the

closing cost. In additien, the It
year limit en the life ef ev. mort
gage will slightly increase month

are retroactive, however, an thus
will apply only to future loans.- -The
effect on this ares, rekehly
will be negligible tor twe retsoas.
First, credit restrictions already
are tighter than is average in eth

Officers at First National' Bv-

that only about SO per cent ef their
