In The- Day's lews (Continued from Page 1) whether Pasternak will be allowed to go to Sweden to accept the Nobel award and the $41,000 that goes with it. It is probable that he can spare the $41,000. The book has been immensely successful and is be lieved to have made a lot of mon ey for its publisher. It seems im probable that the publisher would not have set aside the royalties due the author. The problem lies in getting the money to him or in getting him away from Russia so that he can get the money. A word in conclusion. What are the Nobel prizes? There are five of them: 1. for the most important dis covery or invention in the field of physics. 2. In the field of chemistry. 3. In physiology or medicine. 4. For the most distinguished lit erary work of an idealist nature. 5. For the most effective work in the interest of international peace. The average value of the prizes is about $40,000. Those for physics and chemistry are awarded by the Royal Academy of Science in Stockholm, the prize for medicine by the Caroline Institute, which is the faculty of medicine in Stock holm, for literature by the Swedish Academy of Literature in Stock holm and the peace prize by a committee of five elected by the Norwegian parliament. The money, which comes from the interest on an endowment of about $9,000,000, was provided by a Swede, Alfred Bernhardt Nobel who invented dynamite, among other things. He lived and worked in the last half of the last cen tury, and his inventions and the factories he set up to produce them made him one of the richest men in the world in his day. Board Eyes OTI Future PORTLAND (AP) Oregon's Board of Higher Education took a look at technical education today and voiced some comments that might bear on the future of Ore gon Technical Institute at Klam ath Falls. A set of recommendations were prepared Monday night. Just be fore noon today the board ap proved them. They say this: A college-level technical institute separate from vocational schooling is probably desirable in Oregon; the Board of Higher Education is not in a posi tion to discuss vocational educa tion; it believes that OTI should remain under the authority of the Roard of Education, which now handles OTI. The question came, up because Gov. Robert D. Holmes had asked for recommendations to aid in budget preparation. Earlier the board approved its committee action of Monday in planning for $4,460,000 worth of new construction.

OCTOBER 23, 1858 pointed out that some utilities had protested the fact that their emer. gency vehicles were not given parking privileges while on call in the downtown area. After discussion it was decided to grant utilities one sticker which they could use on such an emer gency which would give them park ing privileges in the downtown area, but only while on actual duty. These would be granted only when requested. Permission was given for a sound truck tn be operated in the busi ness area from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, November 1, on be. half of the two mill levy for park and recreation purposes. A group known as "citizens for recreation" would be sponsoring the sound truck, and high school personnel would be handling the mike. The question oi vacating a por tion of Johnson Street which inter sects Canby was tabled when it became known that the council did not have the consent of ad- acent property owners. Councilman Walter Fleet pointed out that the property in question is too steep ever to be a street and could be a building lot. "It has been a com munity eyesore for years," Fleet said, "and we were trying to do something about it, but one of the abutting property owners ap parently objects, so we'd better leave it as is." Among the building permits ap proved by the council, was a re quest by Cliff and Harry Molatore to make a $45,000 addition to Mo! atore's Motel at 100 Main Street. Also, Cecil Fitzgerald was grant ed a permit in the amount of $2, 200 to install a new roof on the old armory, now known as Klam ath Auditorium. The council granted permission to the J u n i o r Chamber of Com merce to conduct a Christmas pa rade down Main Street starting at 11 a.m. Saturday, December 6. The request pointed out that prizes of $150, $75 and $25 were being award ed for the best float portraying the theme, "The Spirit of Christmas." The question of sign hanging also confronted the council. It was pointed out that in some cases, local licensees have permitted out side sign makers to come in, use the local licensees permit, and hang signs. LcRoy Collins, state electrical in spector, pointed out that sign hang ers must have a slate license, and that at present, there were only three sign hangers licensed in Klamath Falls. A review of the ordinance point ed out that there was a penalty that could be imposed in such cases. The subject of sign hanging came up in another manner when it was emphasized that in many instan ces the sign is hung before the permit is secured. Reviewing the ordinance, the council reported that after this anyone doing this would find themselves cited and fined for violation of the ordinance. In other action, the council auth orized East Side Appliance 'Com pany to use angular loading and unloading at Seventh and Klamath. City Manager Vergeer was au thorized to endorse a check from the state of Oregon in the amount of $425.55 in favor of the Motorola Communications and Electronics, Inc., in payment of civil defense radio equipment which will be in stalled at the city fire hall to per mit them to be in contact with the county mutual aid system.
