r PAGE 2 A HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 21. 1958 Patti Page Approaches New Season By CHARLES MERCER NEW YORK AP - Four months ago a discouraged Patti Page was ready to quit television She never talked about it publicly, but her friends knew that she felt the Patti Pace show was every body's show except Patti Page's. Today a refreshed and excited Miss Page is on the threshold of a new television season. Next Wednesday (Sept. 24 1 her new weekly half-hour musical series makes Its debut on ABC-TV. She declines to discuss her last season's program on CBS-TV, crit ics, except to say that "everybody ATTENTION Merrill-Malin-Tulelake W will hT TV lerTloi mas In roar trot rrr Tueidir from now on. For terries phono TU i-tltl or drop cord to Derby's Music Co, I2S N. 9tb P. O. Bos m tried very hard." It can be said, however, that' too many cooks were spoiling the show conducted by that broth of a singer ram Page: her own ideas of how it should be run were largely ig nored. Now, with a new production staff, she says, "This is my idea of a show. I know that it's quite the fashion this television season to say that you're having a show with a no-format format. But it is true of our new show. You'll sec when it goes on. "None of the programs will have a theme." Miss Page says. "It might be called a musical variety show, but it s not a variety show in the sense that I come out with a guest and say, 'Let's sing,' and then we do a duet. Is she banning rock 'n' roll mu sic, which some viewers found the bane of last season's series? 'Nothing is banned on the new show." she says. "But it definitely is not a rock 'n' roll program. And it s not just a musical series We'll have comedians and other guests who can't sing or play even narmonica. As with many other shows, hers faces the problem of obtaining tal ented and "different" guests i Always a welcome treat', for family and friends! BARGAINS For Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday! 1 3-lb.

A long vacation this summer was a big help, she feels, in get ting ready for a long TV season. She and her husband, dance di rector Charles O'Curran, spent two weeks in Jamaica and then visited her family in her native Claremore, Okla. County Court Awaiting Bids Insurance, roads, streets and such matters were subjects for dis cussion, largely on a preliminary basis, by members of the Klamath County Court Friday. The court said it would enter tain bids jfor its life and health policies offered more than 200 county employes, a contract now held by Great West Lite Insurance Company. County Judge C. M. Mack said Great West, one of the anticipated bidders for a contract renewal, had agreed to bind its policy be yond the present October 1 ex piration date so employes would be covered until bids could be accepted. Klamath Falls Mayor Lawrence Slater discussed with the court possibilities of installing a traf fic light at the intersection of South Sixth Street and Wash burn Way, an intersection bisected by the city limits. A delegation from the Stewart Lenox Addition appeared to ask reconsideration of the grade pre pared on Cleveland Street, a street now being constructed there. The delegation raid some rises In the street and driveway approaches were too steep if the grade should remain as it is. I The court also has been Invited to an Information Show-me trip to Deschutes National f orest the northern end of the county next Tuesday. The trip, planned by forest service personnel, would offer commissioners a chance to see progress being made on roads, lumber cutting and recreation de velopment. The court attended a similar trip last year and plans to go again this year.

His own 60 acres under irriga tion please him most. Sprinklers watered 30 acres of barley from a well producing 1,000 gallons per minute. The other half of his new development is in alfalfa which he floods from a well producing 1,600 gallons per minute. Thanksgiving night, 1909, Rich ard Schaub arrived in the Fort Rock country at the age of 14. Next to the youngest of 13 children he came west with his father to Spo kane in 1907 after the death of his mother at Leelanau, Michigan. Living with his father in a tent on the Hollie Swingle place near Cougar Mountain was a far cry trom lite on their 80-acre Michigan farm. Dick recalls pulling wool af ter school, his eldest sister card ing, his mother spinning and all the girls knitting socks and mit tens and sweaters. Husking bees are another memory, with 40 to 50 young people gathering to husk then clean up the barn for dancing when the work was finished When he was old enough, Schaub filed on a homestead just west of the present home ranch of Mrs Mahel Morehouse and Sons. In getting started on his own Schaub recalls several jobs he took. One was working on the Bend to Crook ed River section of the Central Oregon Canal. After spending 10 hours a day at rip-rapping (lining the ditch with rock) for two months he had $40 to bring back to Fort Rock after he paid his board bill Park Named For Star Opened Saturday By BOB THOMAS AP Motion Picture Writer HOLLYWOOD (AP) - Los An geles County formally opened Wil liam h.

Here's what you'll, see It you make the 25-mile journey from Hollywood to Newhall: the Span ish-style house Hart built in 1925-7 overlooking his 220 acres: West ern paintings by Charles Russell and James Montgomery Flagg Hart s 39-year-old mount, King Valentine: the actors gun collec tion, makeup kit, etc. Bill Hart was a sentimental man. Before he died at 81 in 1946. he said at his ranch: "To give this place to the public is the least I can bequest to show my appre ciation for the support they gave me during my long movie ca reer." Now his wish is being carried out, though a couple of genera tions have grown up since he fad ed from the screen. The reason for the delay was a long and un successful attempt by Hart's son to break the will that gave most of a $1,170,000 estate to the coun ty for the park. Although he is enshrined as one of the screen's top cowboys, his movie career extended only 11 years. Born in Newburgh. N.Y.. he was reared in Wisconsin and -Minnesota when remnants of the frontier still existed. Unaccount ably, he became an actor and starred in Shakespeare and other classics. He also did Western plays like me squaw man and "The Vir ginian" that led lo his film debut cowboy in 1914. He started at $75 a week, once earned $2,225, 000 for nine pictures in two years. inougn he remained a nomilar figure, the draw of his films de clined after 1920. Theater men claimed his movies were old- fashioned, but Hart refused to lake story liberties that he felt true Westerners would laugh at His last film was ' Tumble- weeds" in 1925. He sued United Artists on the claim that it wasn't properly exploited and collected $85,000 in 1936. By that time. Hollywood had long passed him by. Hart lived out his years at the Newhall Ranch showing occasional visitors the trappings of his movie fame.

Board then was about 50 cents a day. Schaub also worked for the con tractor who built the smoke stacks for both the Shevlin-Hixon and Brooks-Scanlon mills. Working the air hammer, he riveted from a cage suspended outside the stacks. Later he fired the boiler for one of the mills and was gone from Fort Rock about a year and a half in all. Recalling one winter when the snow was especially deep, no freight could get through for about two months. Toward the end of the period, food was scarce and George Michaelson, grocer, (now Bend grocer) ran out of flour and borrowed from some farmers to supply others in need. Among his contributions to the valley was well drilling. In 1929 he purchased an old boring device powered by a horse going around and around on a sweep. A steady reliable old mare, Jean, was used on the outfit which made a well about 13 inches in diameter. By the time Jean died in 1953 Dick had drilled 19 wells in the neigh borhood including four for irriga tion. The deepest was down 245 feet and the most he ever charged for drilling was a dollar a foot. Through the years Schaub ac quired three half-sections of land and dry farms 300 acres in addi tion to his irrigated fields. He sells yearlings as feeders. The recent strip mining of diato- maceous earth by Great Lakes Carbon Company of Terrebonne is on his properly which he has leased to the company. He joined the Fort Rock Grange in 1933 and this year at the July meeting was awarded a 25- year-pin. In presenting the pin Ed win Eskelin, master, stated, "This pin has little monetary value but with it goes our appreciation for your faithfulness, congratulations on attaining 25 years of member ship and our good wishes for the future.
