Reported by Ray Fetersen, county agent. Author, Mate End Hassle GIIiMANTON, N.1I. W) -Grace MetaHbus, author of the best sell. er "Peyton Place," said Tuesday he had patched up marital dif ferences with the school teacher husband she once claimed was fired from his job because of her aplcy book. "I'm going back to live with my husband," Mrs. Metalious told newsmen. Referring to reports linking her romantically wilh a radio disc jxkey, Mrs. Metalious said "my big love affair has blown up like burst balloon." "I've beon in love once and I've been married once," added the 33 year old author whose earthy book about life in a small New England town has been made into a movie. She and her husband, George, alio 33. were married when they were only 17. They separated shertly after her novel was pub lished late in 1K6. Mrs. Metalious described George's dismissal from his teaching job as "an example of mall town intolerance item mlng from rumors she had writ ten a "'dirty book." School board members laid failure to renew Metalious' teach ing contract was "a personal mat ter" ami in no way connected with "Peyton Place." Metalious, who had served as principal of Gilmanton Grammar School, obtained a $3,400 a year position teaching history and com mercial law in Stowe. Mass., High School.

Final rites and plans from a fcur lane to a two interment in Klamath Memorial i jane highway w;is announced to Park. the city council Monday mht by letter from W. C. Williams, state 1 highway engineer. Initial plans had called tor a, four lane roule to bypass the city Plans Changed On Bypass Chorus Slates KF Program A concert program which is dif ferent in content from that sung by most college choirs will be presented by the Occidental Col lege Glee Clubs of Los Angeles on February 7, at 8 p.m. in the First Presbyterian Church. Howard Swan, who has directed the activities of the Occidental Chorus for 23 year s, believes strongly in planning a program which will appeal to every mem ber of an audience. Added variety is given to the concert by the na ture of its presentation. Stirring male choruses and selections sung by the women's ensemble together with Instrumental and vocal so loists add freshness and appeal to the program. Testifying to the public interest in this type of concert have been the appearances of the Occidental Glee Clubs with the Los Angeles and San Diego Symphony Orches tras, the seasonal broadcasts of the ensemble for the Mutual Broadcasting System, and the in variable requests for return en gagements by this very popular singing organization.

Upon council approval, Williams stated, plans would go forward lor the two lane bypass, and expec tations were that it would be com pleted in the early summer of lA.

The council voiced its approval of the plan, agreeing that il was better to have construction start ed on the bypass now rather than wait an additional two years in 1 lie hope that a four lane route might be built.

I Driving Case Dismissed Charges of driving while un der the influence of alcohol facing Donald Schonchin, 32. of Beatty. were dismissed Monday afternoon in circuit ourt after the case dismissal was motioned by Pros ecuting Deputy District Attorney Freeman Murray. The dismissal motion was based on the fact that the testifying slate police officer was not the arresting officer and that his tes timony would be hearsay based on what had been told him by the arresting officer. The state police organization has employed the practice of having a court officer handle the cases after having been informed by the arresting officer. The dismissal action was grant ed by Circuit Judge David R. Vandcnhcrg after the jury selec tion had been completed. Schon chin was appealing a prior guilty verdict handed down by a dis trict court jury. He was represented by Attorn eys Glenn Kamirei and P. K. Puckett. Oldsters Mourn Whistie's 'Death' GALESBURG. 111. W-The pass ing of the venerable steam whis tle atop the old Illinois Power Co. plant caused nary a ripple 'in Galcsburg, Oply the old-timers remem bered, and shook their heads sadly. "I can remember the day when the whistle in its low mournful tone announced the assassination of President McKinley," one of them lamented. "It sounded mournful on events like disasters, declaration of wars and the like," another recalled. But the new generation didn't even miss -it when that storied hunk of tin fell by the wayside recently. It had to go. The old power plant which supported it for something like 50 years or more was being razed. The Galesburg Register - Mail wrote this epitaph: "For them (the old-timers) the old power house whistle holds something hard to understand, something that is just as much of Galesburg as they themselves." Like a fussy old nursemaid, the whistle used to rouse the working folks at 8 a. m. and send them back to their homes at 5 p. in. Oldsters say it took on a joyful tone -when announcing glad tiding, but its timber could change to one of grave seriousness, as it did to signal the attack on Pearl Harbor. (Continued from Page eae meteri was currently being used for police, traffic and street light ing purposes, all of which bene fited the downtown area. Ed Bell, chairman of the City Budget Committee, itemized the purposes for which the city was utilizing parking meter fundi, and then pointed out that, in his esti mation, it was wrong to channel the money from the parking me ters and the occupation taxes into other departments. "We must plan for the future," Bell said. "If we don't protect the downtown area and prevent its devaluation, we will be negligent in our duties to the taxpayers of the city. 'The homeowners must kick-in their share," he continued, "to protect the downtown area. It'i a very serious situation. As chair man of the budget committee," he summarized, "I would recom mend we approve this request for use of the parking meter fundi and the occupation taxes for off street parking." Fleet suggested that rather than take the parking meter money, ap proximately $53,000 per year, from the police budget and then asking the voters to approve about a five mill levy for the police depart ment to make up the lost fundi, it T Member Need Cited Wilbur Womer, 1958 member- ship roundup boss, told local YMCA members at tne ktckoit breakfast Tuesday morning in the headquarters building, that ad ditional members are - needed to produce $5,000 this year In order to sustain the local organization. Lyle Kcllstrom, president of the board of directors, backed up the statement by adding that "It's a part of our annual income ana is essential to the YMCA." Meanwhile Womer added that next Tuesday there will be a mort gage -burning breakfast In the headquarters building, with the time set later. Womer stated that approximate ly eight new or renewal members for each ranch hand and boss are needed, or about 800 new signing! should be attained by the time the drive ends on February 4. He added that there are two phases of the contest among the ranch hands. The first Is the burn ing of the mortgage when a ranch has filled its quota of new mem bers and the second is for the In dividual leader in the drive. Points or "doggies" are awarded for rounding up the "strays." A hand will receive 10 dogglei for each new member and one dog gie for every dollar that the itrayi bring into the organization. would be more proper to ask voteri for a five mill levy for off- street parking purpoiei. The council took no action on the request at thii meeting. PARK AND RECREATION Another delegation of members of the City Park and Recreation committees appeared to request that a measure be put on tne .May ballot asking an increase of one mill levy each for both the Park and the Recreation departments. Councilman James Barnes who represents the council on the Park and Recreation committees, pointed out that the operating mon ies of both departments have been constantly on the decrease while the request for tervicei has been increasing. "Our per capita average for parks and recreation," Barnes said, "has decreased from $3.70 in 1953 to 2.67 in 1957. Stan Miller, member of the commission, stated that the in creased levies are necessary if the people want to maintain and keep in good repair the facilities they presently have. Martin Brauner, another board member, pointed out that the city is trying to attract people, ana tnai an adequate park and recreation program is important. "The best we eould do," he said, "without this additional levy, is maintain our program at a bare minimum. Mayor Slater commented thai requests for additional funds have come also from the police and fire departments, from the airport committee for a new terminal building, as well as new money for the itreet department for a new shop, He also speculated that there had been consideration of the city purchasing a paving plant, and other financial needs. "It Is the council's feeling," he concluded, "that with business in Oregon as it is, that it would be ill-advised to put measures on the May ballot asking for increased funds." OTHER ACTION , In other action the city council: 1. Awarded equipment 7 b i d s for units-needed .in the primary sewage treatment plant which will be built, by the H. G. Carl Con struction Company of Salem at a cost of $238,386.29. 2. Approved the blocking of Fifth Street from Kinlock to Willow for the balance of the Inclement winter weather. S. Ordered the city engineer to investigate prospects of paving Mesa Street from Auburn to Huron as requested by a petition pre sented to the council. FUNERAL SERVICES were held from Sacred Heart Church at 9:30 a.m. today for William Henry Elliott, Klamath Falls businessman, who died in Phoenix, Ari zona, on January 20. He owned and operated tha Waldorf Billiards for 30 yean. Moniignor T. P. Caiey conducted tha service. Final rites and interment were in Mt. Calvary Cemetery. Ac tive pallbearers were Harry Boivin, Robert Wilson, Mur ray Britton, Dr. Marvin Hil ton, Roland Cantrell and Henry Sweetman.
