SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 19. 1956 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE FIVE rduilLY JUL BY LYLE DOWNM MM ELBERT YEATCH . . . ' . A ; - 1 t 1 .7 . . lM ( , Then When Elbert Veatch, manager of the Klamath County Abstract Com pany, was 23 years old. he was faced with a crisis which was a matter of life and death. A physician told Veatch, at that time a student at the University of Oregon, that he would have to migrate to a drier, warmer clime or he would succumb to a lung infection. The young student, who admits he was more than greatly alarmed by the doctor's ultimatum, finally resolved the dilemma in a daring manner. Here's the way he puts it: DIVINE PLAN , " "Hundreds of pioneers crossed the plains in covered wagons and braved the dangers of the trail and hostile Indians to get to Ore gon. I was lucky enough to have been , born here. So I deoided if the Lord conferred that honor on me and it He decided I was to die young, I couldaU -circumvent His plans by leaving the state." Veatch went on to explain that he was convinced that .the forests am. fresh air of Oregon must have curative powers. So he left the university and ' went to Grants Chemult Group Plans Party CHEMULT The Chemult Civic Club will hold its annual "Every bodys" birthday party at. the home of Mrs, Ray Darnell the evening of February 22. TWs social annu ls held every February at the home of a member to celebrate the anniversary of the club and all members' birthdays for the year. The next meeting at the club I house will be March 7, when j George Larimer of the Rural Elec-j tvification Administration will dis-1 cuss the work of the REA and ! answer questions. Mrs. Ray Dar nell, Mrs. Richard Clauson and Mrs. Verne Brader will be host-1 esses. Pass where he got a Job driving a haclc. "At that period in Oregon's col orful history," he recalled, "East erners were flocking into the state to file mining and timber claims. They used to hire rigs from the livery stable where I worked to drive them all over the country." ON THE ROAD Veatch added that there's hardly a road within 200 miles of Grants Pass he hasn't traveled in a hack. "Of all the trips I made," he said, "I'll never forget one from Grants Pass to Crescent City. We got caught in' a torrential rain storm that would have made the one that floated Noah's Ark look like a dew drop." Veatch was born November 8 1874 on a ranch, two miles west of Cottage Grove. He attended grammar and high school in Cot tage Grove. After his ill-starred college ca reer and one year fas a livery stable- employe. Veatch worked for six years in the Josephine county clerk's office. CHICKEN RANCHER In 1912. he decided to try for an "Egg and I" career, "At that time I was convinced that there were fortunes to be made in raising chickens." Veatch explained. "I did finally acquire 2,000 laying hens and the required number of roosters. Evidently the hens weren't too efficient because I went broke." In 1916, Veatch tossed in the towel at Grants Pass and moved to Klamath Falls. Before acquiring his present business, he worked for a lumber company and a bank. Home Extension HOME EXTENSION By Hope Holbrook 'What are your interests?" was the question asked recently of many women who attend Home Economics Extension meetings. The answers ranged from "how to save money spent on meals" to "learning new crafts for leisure time." These ideas from people all over Klamath County were summarized and from this survey will come the extension unit pro gram for 1956-1957. Representatives from 21 exten- sion units will meet at Joan s Kitchen. Klamath County Fair- grounds at 10:30 a.m. At that lime these people will take a look into the full extension program and consider the possibilities for their part in It. A ballot will be made up so an extension unit members may vote on their own choices. This is done order to meet the needs and interests of some 600 women ac tive in extension work. Miss Betty Jane Sedgwick and Clifford L. Smith, State Extension Agents, Corvallls, Oregon, will be Klamath Falls to attend tne Program Planning Training meet ing next Tuesday. They will ex plain to the group the objective of the extension service at the state level. They will serve as resource people at this session.

In 1939. while lieutenant governor of the Kiwanls Club, he went to the civic organi zations international convention in Boston.
