He is the year-old son of John Blair and the treat is going to be a trip to San Francisco with his dad. John dropped in the other day en route to Ashland and told me about it. I think he is to be con gratulated on his understanding of the son's desire. John told me that he had been taken on a similar trip a long time ago and had never forgotten it. I'll be willing to bet that John will have at least as much fun as the boy. if not more. I can still remember a good many years ago when at a some what but not much older age I spent a deliriously happy week in the city by the Golden Gate my self. Spent most of my lime either at the zoo or the gun room at the DeYoung museum. As to wheth er the zoo and museum were more fun or tho streetcar ride getting there I don't know. I think my mother and dad had fun, too. Friend of mine up in Fort Klam ath came across what to me was a brand new problem the other day. Seems that he got his and his wife's horoscope mixed up. The results were not all to the good, according to his report Something to do will) dominant days being reversed. I suppose it would be sort of confusing, both to the unfortunate human and to the stars that set the course. But then maybe Sputnik had something to do with it, too. is growing up. The needs of the community have changed, . and the attitudes governing such items as the houses and gambling have also been changed. Klamath Falls is perhaps the cleanest town today from the standpoint of vice that it has ever been, and that is because of the attitude of you, the people, re flected in the actions of the may or and the council. It does not mean that these members are "blue-noses" or ad vocates of a simon-pure policy, it does mean that they are giv ing the people of Klamath Falls the type of city administration that they want. But by the same token these remarks are not meant as any re flection on prior councils or the present one. The men who served the city in this capacity have been conscientious men who sacrificed much of their own interests and mayor, city council, and its ap pointed police commission are di rectly responsible for the admin istration of the police dpttartment. It the department has been badly tain the dance hall; '3) different school clubs (including Henley, Merrill, and other high schools besides KU) to sell and maintain the refreshment center; (4) chap- run, as the taxpayers paid lnspec-: erones to be downtown merchants tor Young to determine for them, and high school teachers. No po then you may be sure that the lice it makes the teen-agers council either knew that such a feel they aren't being trusted situation existed or else they were I and this result is mischief ear not doing what they were elected ! ried on just "in spite." Of course, to do. there are many more suggestions . If the council follows all of In-ion how such a thing should be spector Young's recommendations handled. We teen-agers are inter we may expect a better police force, but do his suggestions pre clude that in lime this force will not become as corrupt as the old ested! Are you adults? Immediately, we see the prob- lems involved; the youth center should not be considered a cure- one? So long as the chief of police I all for juvenile problems which and his staff are not competently may exist. However, it is an im administered by elected officials iportant part of the entire pictun Klamath Falls may expect to be served by the same caliber of city law enforcement agency. You can raise their pay, give them shorter hours and switch the patrol sys- time to give the city the type of.tem around; but you will even government they felt it wanted, tuully evolve into the same old The new survey, when it is put i routine. A new low in panhandling, or a new high, depending on how you look at it, was reported to me the "other -day. Seems one of the professional type moochers was working a bar and came across one intended vic tim who caused him to ask his age. Sixty three, he was told. "Nope," said the panhandler, "you're too old. I'll find someone younger." Getting pretty selective these days, aren't they? Fellow by tho name of Charlie Hansen, of San Francisco, called me up in the small hours of the morning not long ago. Said he was down in the new bus depot and spoke quito highly of it. Liked it, liked the service, ' liked our coun try. Everything was all right except (or one thing. He couldn't find a clock on the wall to tell him what time it was. I went down and checked and I couldn't either, but the buses seem to keep running right on schedule so 1 guess it is all right. Hansen was on his way to Spo kane. into effect will give the city of Klamath Falls a police depart ment that is up to date in every sense, and one that will be equipped to take care of the fu ture needs of a growing city. Our next step is to modernize our governmental structure by approving a shift to the council manager type of administration. The new chief must be given complete authority so far as poli tical considerations are concerned; hut he must be held responsible for his policies. Political autonomy must go hand in hand with super vision as far as the office of chief is concerned. Freedom to enforce the laws must be assured as well as overseen. The rules mu t apply to all equally and we cannot ex- This, too, will modernize what is now an archaic system of gov- pect a policeman to turn his back eminent that is still tied to a on one illegality while he is mak- together with parental discipline and understanding. Tell us, where do we start and do you start with us? Betty Yancey Junior, KUHS 1(113 charter. It was excellent for that time, but again, to gear the city for the future as well as meet the needs of the present, the change to the council-manag er form of government should be made. Itmpoiislbility By BILL DECKER "The key to police operations is personnel. An organization can never be better than its person- el. This cogent opinion is ex pressed by Inspector Richard Young on page 43 of his all-in elusive analysis of the Klamath Falls Police Department Inspector Young knows what he is talking about and he certainly earned the money which the tax payers spent to pay for his com prehensive report on the local po lice department. He gave us just what we asked for. But, as taxpayers, are we not entitled to just a little more? The report claims that our po lice department has been badly administered; that much has been ing an arrest fur another. Is gambling as illegal as drunk driv ing? Surely. So we must expect our policemen to arrest anyone guilty of cither, regardless of whom they are or what the order of the day may bo. There should be no such thing as political privilege. We have been shown the way to a better city police department Worry llnngcr Klamath Falls (To Tho Editor) A recent headline in a Boston newspaper stated that doctors now say worry is worse than disease The newspaper also stated that worry never solved any problem but may produce bodily ills that will make the initial sickness seem inconsequential by comparison, tins was the opinion of seven noted specialists who spoke re cently at a New England medical center. These doctors also stated how worry and tension aggravate heart condition, stomach troubles, skin ailments, respiratory disorders, arthritis and other health prob lems. Millions of us needlessly worry ourselves sick and we do it with out half realizing it. and that is its Inspector Young was hired bv the ! danger. Worry just nibbles away city council to do a job which he secreuy line a termite at me loun- carricd out with great candor and datlon o otlr happiness and health efficiency; but he was not hired lo tell the council that the fault ultimately lies with ticm. II is an old axiom that a city gels as good a police force as they want and if Klamath Falls wants a truly efficient police de partment Hie men of the force must be assured that the comma nity really desires such. You may express your opinions through your elected officials. Youth Outer Klamath Falls (To The Editor) Klamath Falls teens realize tho lacking in its organization and that I increasing problem of juvenile de we arc not getting our money's jlinquoncy of this town. They even worth as far as law enforcement ! possess one idea which, if worked is concerned. All this wo accept because we are told it by a recog nized authority on the subject who comes to us with the highest recommendations. The chief ni in. lice has resigned as a result of Mhia ronArl U'n aulm Vice Itluiue By FLOYD L. WYNNE This may not be a popular view point, but from personal experi ence I'm certain it is true. The recent report on the con dition or the Klamath Falls Po lice Department criticized form er chief Orvilic Hamilton and some of his subordinates very sharply for the administration of the police department and the con dition of the jail and other equip ment. I think it important lo point out, though, that Orvilic Hamil ton was not alone responsible for any criticisms that might come his way (or the vice conditions that may exist or may have ex isted in the city. This is not a detense of Ham ilton, it is a statement of fact. It is a confirmed fart that the vice conditions of a city, name ly gambling, prostitution, etc., are more or less set by the city coun cil or the administrative body that runs the city. In the past when the bawdy houses were running in Klamatii Falls, they were doing so with the knowledge and the sanction of the mayor and the council. The playing of cards was also done wilh the sanction and the knowledge of the council. This, however, does not mean that they countenanced gambling, although tnc lact that there was such a high gambling license would seem lo indicate it. nm, in iuci mat the mayor and the council in the past have condoned some of these actions Ooesn t mean that they were of loose morals or susceptible lo bribes. They were representatives of the people, and as such they were re flecting the type of city that they felt the people wanted. They are elected delegates of the people, nd must reflect the people's view point. The fact that they ire not run ning today is due to the fact that the city of Klamath Falls this report.
