TU 4-4411 Church Mission Provides Haven For Unfortunates By RUTH KING Men down on their luck, men looking for work and those in need of encouragement, a good hot meal, a bath, shave, bed and cloth ing, can now find accommodations for a brief time in Klamath Falls without putting out one cent. Through efforts of the director John Pedersen, assistance from many churches, work donated by men who stop for help and contri butions of materials and cash from the community, the old First Cove nant Church on Walnut Street has been transformed in two months to clean comfortable quarters for uniortunates. Big portions' .of hot stew, bread and coffee are served at night. Hot rolls and coffee are on the breakfast menu. A shower has been installed and two-tiered bunk beds provide a place to rest for about 20 men. Haircuts are given iree Dy a Darner at the mission, and the men cart" shave. "Clean liness is stressed In all gospel missions, reaersen says. Clean, worn clothing Is also available. Men are encouraged to look for work and loitering aoouc me premises is not per mittea. ine tuning room is com fortable and the kitchen is spot less. Upstairs, above the livlrtg quar ters, services are. held each eve ning in the church sanctuary. Pas tors of several churches have as- sisted John Pedersen in filling the pulpit. Old-time hymns are sung Mrs. Pedersen is the pianist. Use of alcoholic beverages has been no problem among the men. Pedersen states, and cooperation of the members of the Klamath Falls Police Force in bringing men to the mission has been notewor thy. .Most men arrive by freight are passing through or stop with the intention of looking for work. Jack Wright, from Texas, who has been with Pedersen for several years- as assistant, keeps the wheels smoothly oiled and sees that records are kept straight. To date 103 haircuts and shaves have been given; 131 articles of clothing distributed: 34 pairs of boots and shoes given out: 1.223 meals have been served and beds provided for 776 men. Laundry is done on the premises.' A staff of six or eight men is on duty. Future plans include painting and repair of the building exterior and grounds improvement, all to be done by the painters, plumbers and plasterers who are cared for. A 50-bed dormitory to be added to the rear of the building is also planned for the future. Mr. and Mrs. Pedersen have an apartment above the sanctuary.
