Good Hwd
By BILL JENKINS
There is one lucky lad over jn
Lakevicw who is really going to
have the time of his life come
spring, vacation. 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

I suppose it would be sort of
confusing, both to the unfortunate
human and to the stars that set
the course.

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.

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-

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

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

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

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

that the city of Klamath Falls

Skipper Backs Irish Holiday
CLEVELAND - The captain
of the coast Guard s icebreaker
Mackinaw has an Irish heart. And
for that, his men will wear an
Emerald Isle smile Monday, St.
Patrick's Day. They may even
paint the town green.
It all came about because of a
letter Chief Boatswain Robert K.
Gibson wrote to Capt. Evor S.
Kerr of Cleveland. The letter be
gan: "Subject: Early Liberty Re
quested For:
"In the event of Ihe ship's re
maining in port on the 17th, it is
hereby formally requested lhat I,
the undersigned, be granted my
request for an early liberty, in
order that I may uphold the honor
of my glorious ancestors, on this,
our greatest day of the year."
Capt. Kerr, who is of Irish de
scent, was touched. Not o n 1 y
did "Bosun" Gibson, a native of
Petoskey. Mich., get his liberty
but the following ship's order was
published:
"Ship's Order No. 4786 Obser
vance of the Irish National Holiday.
"Monday is the day set aside to
honor St. Patrick, the patron saint
of Ireland. Having driven all the
snakes from Ireland, St. Patrick
is held in the highest esteem
throughout the world today.
"Therefore, this vessel will sim
ilarly pay homage to St. Patrick.
Any member of my command who
is Irish, or part Irish, or anyone
who would like to be (with the
exception of the duty section) is
hereby directed to depart the ves
sel on authorized liberty at 1200
hours on Monday.
"The officer-of-the-day is direct
ed to fly an official 'shamrock-in
the-swamps' pennant; such pen
nant to fly from the port yardsam
from sunrise to sunset on St. Pat

that Coast Guard regulations pro
hibit the use of green beer on
board a government vessel."
