It was still just an impressive sounding name for - a mutual aid group of South and Southeast Asia nations when the Colombo Plan Conlerence opened here Oct. 20. The U.S. State Department, host for the conference for the first time since it was conceived at Colombo. Ceylon, in 1950, cleared away considerable fog today with some graphic accounts of Colombo in action. One f the best examples is the Technical High School. Rangoon. Burma. In the establishment of this school, the Burmese received hand tools and other equipment from Canada: a machine shop out fitted hy Australia: diesel equip ment from the United Kingdom and an automobile workshop from the Ford Foundation. It was during one of these Col ombo conferences, this is the tenth, that delegates reported on TV Corporation Elects Officers .MONTAGUE A new director was elected to the board and two open meetings were decided upon at a recent meeting of the Nor- Sis Television Corporation in Mon tague. Virgil Hnudcshcll of Big Springs was elected as director for that area. His first task as a board member will be to set up an open meeting in conjunction with the Big Springs Community Club for November 5. The Weed Lions Club has asked that an open meeting for a mem bership drive in Weed be arranged. The president of the corporation, James B. McAdams. Wilson Gra zier and James Dow will attend both of the meetings to explain the Adler system for better tele vision reception. A meeting held in Gazelle September accounted for better than half of the television set own ers in that area signing up in the corporation, according to John Voy, director. The meeting date of the corpora tion has been changed to the fourth Wednesday of each month at the Montague Elementary School. Woman Found Guilty By Jury . A district court trial jury con victed Eve Walla Peterson Tues day of driving while her license was suspended at the close of a '. brief trial. The trial before Judge D. E. Van Vactor required two hours of . testimony. A six-member jury then : returned a verdict after less than ' IS minutes' deliberation. Mrs. Peterson. 42. of 3114 Bristol Street, was arrested on the charge '- October 2 and had been free on - $200 hail. Her license was suspend- ed last June following her convic " tinn lor driving while intoxicated. At that time her car struck a pe destrian. -Mrs. J. W. Wright, 2122 Declamation Avenue.

Australia, New Zealand and Japan, then worked out agreements with in dividual South and Southeast Asia nations, olfering financial and technical aid. COORDINATED AID Duplication of eftorts is avoided at the conferences. No two "don- nations are delivering the same services to one recipient country. The government of New Zealand has provided hinds and equipment for a dairy in Colombo, Ceylon s capital. Milk consumption there and in most of the South and Southeast Asia countries is gener ally poor. Eventually what is learned at Colombo can be passed on to the olhcr nations. Meantime, India is receiving aid from Canada and the United King dom in its big hydro-electric proj ects and a new comprehensive steel production program in that country's second five-year plan. Indonesia and its archipelago of 3.000 islands greatly needs trans portation. Upon attainment of its independence. Indonesia planned more inter-island air traffic. But the country had a near zero num ber of trained aviation personnel. The country's government with aid from the United Kingdom set up a civil aviation academy at Tjurug. near Djakarta. India chipped in with some instructors and by 1957, the academy had trained 238 persons, 73 of them pilots who are now working with the Garuda Indonesian Airways. HK'.IIWAY BUILDING Thailand was without highways adequate for other than very light motor traffic. With United States assistance, the Friendship High way has been completed recently. It is 172 kilometers long and can carry the heaviest motor traffic. The project also provided a train ing ground for Thai engineers. In Nepal's first five-year plan are several sorely-needed road ! construction projects. India is giv ing assistance, A m-miic uiau. connecting Katmandu with Bhainse. the southernmost town ol Nennl. forces an important link of the mountainous kingdom with the outside world. These are just examples of how Id nations, with bilateral aid from five "donor" nations, are conduct ing a do-it-yourself project to help one-quarter of the world's popula tion attain a better living stand- dard and a stronger economic foothold. PEGGY McCANN, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. McCann, 4522 Cleveland Avenue, and a graduate of Klamath Union High School, has enrolled as a freshman at Oregon State College and has been awarded a partial - tuition scholarship for 1958-59. These scholar ships are granted by the State system of higher education to a limited num ber of outstanding high school graduates, and stu dents already enrolled in college. Miss McCann was pledged to Alpha Phi soror ity during rush week. Community Council Eyes Need For New Hospital Exploration of possible need for new hospital facilities in Klamath Falls was the principal topic of discussion at the October meeting of the Community Council, held Monday noon at the Winema Hotel. Principal speaker at the meeting was Bill Decker, whose months of that the existing national average committee would not necessarily in was probably below the desired level. Decker said that it was not his intention at this time to persuade the council of the need for hospital facilities, but only of the desirabili ty of studying the question. "If the committee you appoint study of the question, first as a jshould find out that we need a hos Church Sponsors New Scout Troop Chartering of a new Boy Scout troop, No. 74, sponsored by tile Bible Baptist Church, has been announced by Jerry Thorne, dis trict director for the national organization. Ronald E. Sumner will be scout master of the new troop, which has the following scouts as char ter members: Robert Cooper. Keith Cedarleaf, Daniel D. Grimes. Richard D. Howard, Jimmy Mc Chmg and John Schmitt. The in stitutional representative is Rob ert Caster, and the troop com mittee will include Jack H. Kirbv. Stanley R. Ducll. Richard D. How ard, and E. Willard Cedarleaf, who will serve as chairman. The troop meets Wednesday eve nings from 7 to 9 o'clock at Field's Hall. 2244 Wiard Street. Interested boys arc urged to attend. reporter and now as a1 private citi zen, have made him probably the city's leading nonprofessional au thority on the subject. He was pre ceded on the program by a profes sional spokesman. Dr. William G. Holford Jr., who read the findings ot the Klamath County Medical So ciety on hospital needs. The society had found, on the basis of 1 ;." population figures, that the county had available in the two city hospitals 3.54 beds per thousand population, or a total of ItiS. Citing figures of the U.S. Pub lic Health Service indicating that the average number of becis throughout the country varies from 3.5 to 4.5 per thousand, the society concluded that the county is at, or slightly below the national .aver age. In view of the rapid increase in population in recent years, a need for additional facilities, a: this trend continues, can be ex pected, even though the number of beds was adequate at the time the survey was made. "The Klamath County Medical Society is convinced that the pri mary responsibility for providing hospitalization rests with the com munity." the report said, adding that the profession stands ready to assist the community in meeting this responsibility. Since reliable forecasts of the county's future growth were not available, the so ciety recommended that the com munity make a study so that ac curate planning would be possible. By the time Decker entered the discussion, a council member had asked whether there was a recom mended, as opposed to average, re lationship between beds and popu lation. Decker gave as his opinion pitai, men we can start worrying about satisfying that need," he said. "Such questions as 'what kind ot hospital.' and 'who will operate it? can be left until then, when it might be well to ask the county court to call in an independent out side agency to study the problem. I-or the moment, it is enough to name the committee which will get together w ith the doctors and other well-informed parties." Paul Campbell asked if it would not be desirable for such a new or ganization as the council to conduct general study of community needs before taking up one partic ular question. However, the meet ing apparently went along with Decker, who said that naming the olve the council's "taking up" the matter, but only the creation of a representative group of citizens to decide whether or not new facilities were necessary. Alter another council member said the organi zation should have many commit tees investigating different prob lems, the meeting adopted a mo tion that the acting chairman. Dr. Everett 10. Howard, should appoint a committee of five to explore the hospital question. Other action taken at the meet ing included the election of Dr. Howard as vice chairman of the council: it was following this vote that he took over the chair from Patricia Bailey, secretary. Chair man Herman (Budi Smith being absent. Herb Waits was elected vice chairman in charge of mem bership. The meeting adopted a motion made by Paul Campbell that the executive hoard consider selection of a date other than the third Mon day of the month for council meet ings and report to the membership.
