I IF I parW Notes Losses Of Pledges United Fund Treasurer Leo Mola- tore called attention to the pledge losses sustained by the fund under employe payroll deduction plans in I9a8, when he made his report to Monday's regular meeting of the board ol I lie organization, held at the Willard Hotel. Molatore distributed copies of the result of a study oi uncollected 1958 pledges compiled during the new year, which showed that 40 odd firms had pledge losses of over $25 each and that the losses from these firms amounted to (6,161.31. The total amount of pledges from these same firms was (34.467.83, so the approximate loss involved is 18 per cent. Losses from other types of pledges ran much lower; the total loss for the year was (7.523.32. The treasurer said he believed the loss on payroll deduction plans was due to the fact that as an employe changes jobs, he is no' signed up for payroll deductions on his new job: nor is his replace ment signed up for a deduction on the old job. The board accepted Molatore's recommendation that a special committee be set up to study pledge losses. The board also accepted the rec ommendations of the nominating committee and named Ron Phair to be second vice president of the organization, replacing Frank Ca nting, who succeeded to the first vice presidency when Rollin Can- trail moved from that position to the presidency. Cantrall replaced Ralph , Hemmcsch as president when the latter moved from Klam ath Falls. Other recommendations of the nominating committee, also adopt ed, were to fill vacancies on the board of directors. For terms end ing in 1960, Paul Cruikshank was named to replace Ralph Hcm mesch, Thayne Cole for Capt. Vir gil Esworthy and Homer Richey for Jay Krosch. For terms ending in 1961, Max. Ruge replaces Dick Moehl and the Rev. Robert Greene, Ben Thompson., Four vacancies ex piring in February, 1959, were left unfilled. Mrs. George Clark was ap pointed chairman for the annual meeting, to be held the first week in February. Dick Laudenschlagcr, chairman of the 1959 United Fund-Red Cross drive, read a report from the com mittce headed by Thayne Cole, on tho results to date of "Operation Blitz the drive cleanup opera tion. With total receipts of $2,- 943.90, "Operation Blitz" had brought the total for the 1959 drive UP to $125,342.77. Margaret Sheridan, chairman of the budget committee, reported that her group would hold a noon meeting at the Willard Hotel on January 19, and that meotings with United Fund Agencies would begin January 21. These meetings will be necessary to set new allocations, in view of the fact that the drive fell nearly $25,000 short of the $150,- 000 goal. Molatore had reported that the first 1959 disbursements to the agencies had been prorated On the basis of the original alloca tions. Frank Tucker asked everyone present to" think how new strides toward the $150,000 goal could be made during the year. He said that this goal figure represented a "bare minimum" of what was needed.

"If what we do about them is effective," Mathews said, "by the time they're 16 they should have this recklessness out of their blood, and by the time they're 17 they should have calmed down." Last year's statistics showed there were three violators aged 13, two aged 14, 19 aged 15, 147 aged 16 and 210 aged 17. Mathews said 76 per cent of the teen-aged violators arrested in 1958 came in only once. The total ol 381 arrests represented 283 differ ent teen-aged drivers. The majori ty. 215 (or 76 per cent), came into the juvenile office only once. Two appearances were made by 49 drivers, three citations each were issued to 12 drivers. Three driv crs were cited four times each and four youths were cited .five times during the year. The seven youths who appeared four or live times each earned lengthy license suspensions. Sus pensions were imposed on other drivers as well. Dunne 1958 courts suspended the licenses of six driv ers for more than 60 days. The li censes of 39 young drivers were suspended lor 60 days or less, and the licenses of 14 others were partially suspended. Of the total offenses, 17 cases were transferred to Klamath Coun ty District Court and two other cases were transferred to munici pal court. But the majority of all cases were heard in luvenile court. Is juvenile court a good place 10 nanciie tnese drivers? "The juvenile court can't impose lines, it can only suspend licenses, Mathews said. "But I think that method perhaps is better than im posing a fine which parents could pay and which would mean very nme to tne young driver. If a teen-ager really wants to drive. but his license is suspended, he II feel it." Last year was the first for which extensive statistics were main tained by the juvenile office. These are some of the other facts found throughout the year: Violations resulted in 31 acci dents, bringing injury to four per sons, hospitalization for one. no fa talities, and $7,296 in property damage. Judge Sets Jury Trial Dan Harlon Cox, 24, accused' of giving liquor to a minor, pleaded not guilty in district court Wednes day and will reappear for jury trial January 27. Cox, 39 Main Street, was impli cated after city police spotted one car pushing another at 1 a.im New Year's Day and found the boy in the front car under the influence of alcohol. The boy, police said, told offi cers Cox had given him beer, and he provided a statement to that effect for liquor control authorities. Cox was arrested last Friday night on a complaint filed by the boy s mother. At his hearing before District Judge D. E. Van Vactor today. Cox entered his plea of not guilty, was advised to get an attorney, and was remanded to jail in lieu of $400 bail. In another district court action, Ronnie Virgil Haskins, a 19-year- old placed on probation in Septem ber for stealing from a car, was sentenced to 60 days in jail after having violated his probation. Officers said Haskins had gone to California without obtaining per mission, and was about to leave again when he was arrested. Haskins and two other teen-agers were caught by City Patrolman Ray Howard, who saw someone poking into a parked car and rushed out, clad in a bathrobe with a gun in one hand and a flash light in the other, to see what was the matter. The stolen property proved to be a fishing rod belonging to Jimmy 1 nomas. 1937 Oregon Avenue.

J. C. Renie, chairman of the District 1 hoard, told Groshong that the question as to whether the meeting would be private or pub lic would have to be decided in agreement with all members of the budget committees. This deqision should be reached Thursday eve ning during the District 1 budget committee meeting, as the District 2 committee was to meet Tuesday, During this discussion, it was also decided that salary represent tations from other groups of em ployescooks, janitors, and main tenance and secretarial personnel would be heard at the same meeting, time permitting. While the two boards were meet ing together. Superintendent A. L, Gralapp presented them with two alternative calendars for 1959-60. The matter to be decided is wheth er the teachers' in-service training period should take place before or after Labor Day, which falls very late in 1959; September 7. If the teachers report after La bor Day, the following schedule would be established: September 8-11, in-service; September 14, stu dents report: January 25, second semester begins; and June 10, school terminates. If teachers report before Labor uay, tne calendar could ne modi fied as follows: August 31-Septem-ber 4, in-service; September 8. stu dents report; January 18, second semester begins; and June 3 school terminates. Gralapp told board memhers that Carrol Howe, county school super intendent, had informally expressed his own preference for the second alternative. It was decided to take no action until a later meeting, thus allowing members of the pub lic a chance to express prefer ences. Whatever decision Is reached, the 1959-60 calendar should call for the following holidays and vacations: Veterans Day, November 11; Thanksgiving, November 26 and 27; Christmas, December 21 to Janu ary 3, inclusive; and May 30, Me morial Day. Gralapp told members of both boards that the League of Oregon Cities was planning to introduce a bill in the State Legislature for a law permitting formation of "school patrols similar to the student traf fic patrols now existing in Califor nia and Washington. Assistant. Superintendent Garry Robertson summarized for the board members the safety educa tion currently offered in the local schools.'In addition to driver train ing, given only through the study of textbooks, schools offer elements of safety education in the follow ing courses: physical education and health, social studies, English and science. There is also first aid in struction, emphasized on the junior high school level. Robertson said that educators now believe that it is preferable to give safety instruction in dif ferent sorts of classes, rather than limiting such instruction to special safety courses. The joint session of the two boards concluded with a discussion Legion Oldtimers Schedule Meet American Legion Oldtimers Night and initiation of new mem bers will be held on Tuesday in the Legion Hall, North Eighth Street, starting at 7:30. Refresh ments will follow the meeting. Oscar S. Nissen, an American legion member for more than 40 years, points out there is no military obligation connected with joining the American Legion. "Any World War II or Korean veterans who are interested are invited to be at the Legion Hall by 7 p.m. on Tuesday. Doc Nissen said. "Come and join your comrades of the late wars. We should have 500 more members here in Klamath Falls." THREE-DAY VISIT Regional Boy Scout Executive O. D. Sharpe. Portland, was ex pected to arrive in Klamath Falls Wednesday afternoon for a three- day visit. He will meet tonight with the executive board and operating committees of the Modoc Arcs Council, and will go to Lakeview tomorrow to attend an hasle Scout court of honor in the evening. OSBORN HOTEL EUGENE. ORE. Ira. J ft. rlv J rlf J. Pr.arfttar. Thnrnnhr Modern budget sessions will have to face. placed on developing the schools' physical .plant. "Now our emphasis will be to strengthen instruction," the super intendent said, "particularly in tngusn, science and mathematics. "Our high school has one of the finest foreign language depart ments in the Northwest, but the recommendation now is to extend language offerings beyond the two year point. "We shall have to offer more language, and we must strengthen our guidance and counseling pro gram." Gralapp said.that high school vo cational training would be requir ing additional facilities as time goes on. He also said that con servative estimates set at 100 the number of new students to be ex pected at KU next fall. The superintendent said that the most difficult task today for al most any high school principal in the United States is the implemen tation of laws making education compulsory until the age of 18. "This is a national issue, not a Klamath Falls issue," Gralapp said. One particular budgetary prob lem which he mentioned is that of providing for new school buses. Be cause of the war, five, used by both districts, were purchased in 1947, and Gralapp said that pro vision should be made now lor re placing them, or it wjll be neces sary to buy five at once again. In separate actions concerned with similar topics, the two boards accepted, with slight modifications, the recommendations of a joint in surance committee on automotive equipment. The committee had urged that transportation of stu dents be limited to: 1. School buses operated by auth orized and properly licensed per sonnel; 2. Automobiles operated by com petent school personnel; and 3. Privately owned vehicles owned and operated by responsible adults designated by the school ad ministrators or directors. Each board accepted this recom mendation,-: with the addition of words allowing common carriers also to be used. Further recom mendations pertaining to evidence of liability insurance coverage on the part of persons using their own cars on school business were also adopted, with modifications on the part of the elementary school board. The boards also approved, on a share-expense basis, hiring of Mrs. Leona Angel, who will work in the clerk's office, recently busier than before because of adoption of an "encumbrace" accounting system designed to prevent any overdraw on budget allocations.

Defense Tries For Verdict Of Acquittal A second defense motion for 1 directed verdict of acquittal was placed before the judge today in the trial of Raymond Hoover, ac cused of being a convict in pos session of a concealed weapon. Defense Attorney Glenn D. Ram! rez presented his motion shortly be fore noon immediately after tne lone defense witness had testified and, the defense had rested its case. Hoover, 26, 1937 Wantland Ave nue! was arrested by city police early .the morning of August 30. In his car, on the back scat where a passenger had been sitting, p0. lice louno a as cauoer revolver. Ramirez, in moving for a direct ed verdict, maintained that evi dence in the case failed to estab lish ownership of the gun, and that state testimony failed to link pos session of the gun to Hoover. For that reason, Ramirez contended, Hoover was a victim of illegal search and seizure by city police. Deputy District Attorney O. W, Goakey again cited previous Ore gon cases which, he contended, answered Ramirez' contentions. Specifically, he cited one case which resolved that an arrest and the confiscation of a weapon, when occurring at approximately t h same time, constituted a legal ar rest. A similar motion for a directed verdict was presented by Ramirez just before Tuesday's trial session ended. Judge David R. Vandenberg Jr. denied that motion before to day's delayed session opened. State witnesses included City Po lice Officer Floyd Pierce Jr., the arresting officer; City Police Sgt. Odell Olson; Phyllis Hood, a pas senger in Hoover's car at the time of his arrest; and County Clerk Charley DeLap, whose testimony showed that Hoover had been sen tenced to two years in the state penitentiary in 1950 for taking and using a car without the owner's consent. The lone defense witness was Ir win Weiser Jr. of Beatty, who said he had been drinking with Hoover and Phyllis Hood the day preced ing Hoover's arrest.
