Jy A. 7N Then . . . There are supposed to be only two ways of scaling the ladder of success the "hard way" and by "getting the breaks." Anyone familiar with the record of Joe LaClair director qf instruct ional materials for Klamath Falls public schools, will agree he made it the "hard way." Adversity dogged the steps of LaClair almost from the time he emerged from the cradle. "When he was four years old, fire wiped out all his family's worldly pos sessions, including a home and a grocery store in Medford where he was born. A few years later polio struck the family and two of LaClair's brothers were crippled for Ule by the malady. MILKED COWS In the meantime, the LaClairs had moved to Coos Bay. The family finances reached such a low point, that LaClair returned to Medford and obtained a Job on a dairy farm milking cows. While on this Job he was graduated from elementary school. In 1924, LaClair's father decided to see if he could outdistance trouble and moved his family to Kansas City, Missouri. LaClair en rolled at Sweeney's Automobile and Electrical School. At 15 he was the youngest of 2,000 students in the institution. While LaClair was learning to be an automobile mechanic, his lather was hit by an automobile and fatally injured at a Kansas City street Intersection. He died a short time later. TOUGH WINTER "That was the toughest winter I ever spent," LaClair declared. "We had to go on relief. We lived in a dingy cold water flat. It was bitterly cold in Kansas City. We ran out of fuel tor the wood stove. All one night I kept the fire going with old newspapers." The LaClair family was finally sent back to Oregon in 1624 by the Kansas City Welfare Agency. "I .went to work in the woods," WITH ZANY SUITS and cap., Klamath Union High School's three Stripes and a Check, comprised of (standing, left to right) Terry Hannon, Billy Hamblin, Don'n Taueher, and (seated) Frances Cox, proved to ba a popular entertainment feature in last Wednesday night's Klamath County Open House. The open house featured exhibits and entertainment by students of 24 Klamath County Schools as a part of Amer ican Education Week, whose theme this year was "Schools "iVur Investment in America." M. T. Schoolman Death Learned M. T. Schoolman. San Mateo. California, died in Truckee, Cali fornia, recently while on a busi ness trip. Mr. Schoolman will be remem bered by many Klamath Falls and Lakeview people as the represen tative of Loui3 T. Snow Co., San Francisco wholesale grocery tirm. He had covered this territory for the Snow firm for many years. At one time Mr. Schoolman was associated with' the late L. E. Ser mys in business here and In Med ford. Mr. Schoolman Is survived by his wife Ruoy and twin daughters. Snyder and Sullivan Mortuary, San Mateo, is in charge of arrange ments. The funeral is expected to be held Monday or Tuesday. Dorcas Circle Gives " Thanksgiving Offer WEED A foot length ol dimes was given as the Thanksgiving of fering at the meeting of the Dorcas Circle held' at the home of Mrs. John Kerkes recently. Mrs. Ray Bulls, chairman, pre sided at the business session and conducted the election of new of ficers wnlch are Mrs. Lallle Da vis, chairman; Mrs. Ralph Fad ner, vice-chairman; Mrs. Andrew Cogglns, secretary; Mrs. Chester Kimrey, treasurer; world service chairman, Mrs. Millie Cromwell; and Mrs. Alfreda Rose, fellowship chairman. Devotional thoughts pertaining to Thanksgiving were presented by Mrs. Kerkes. A Christmas party is planned for the December 9 meeting which will be a night meeting with Mrs. Kerkes as chairman. Now . ' j- he explained. "I never expected to go back to school again. Three loggers I worked with convinced me I should complete my educa tion. I followed their advice." By working at various Jobs, La Clair finally was graduated from Southern Oregon College and was given a teaching certificate. In 1931. he taught and coached ain- letlcs at. "Malta Elementary School. His salary was $900 a year. STARTED CLIMBING Since then LaClair has been teacher and principal at schools in Maifn, Keno and Chiloquin. Before he took his present position, he was sub-district superintendent ol schools In Chiloquin. He says he is now carrying on a type of education which had prevailed for centuries but was halted with the invention ot the printing press. "When people started to read," he explained, "learning by use ol the other senses was forgotten. This method o! teaching had a big revtva during World War II wnen men iiau w uv w amcu quit,' ly." LaClair Is president of tne Klam ath Falls Klwanis Club and County Civil Delense director. He also is a veteran ot World War II.

Of course, some of these cards will get more attention than others . . . and among these will be the photo graphic variety cards carrying a picture of the sender, his loved onfM. or a true to-lile photo of LatmrJ jj a scene that says "Christmas" even without worda.
