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.

aithin a month or so after they
gin driving.
"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.

The approach of budget-making
time dominated Monday night's
regular semi-monthly meetings of
Klamath Falls' two school boards,
which started off the evening by
deciding, in joint session, that the
annual salary discussion with
school personnel would take place
next ' Monday, ' beginning at 7:30
p.m.
Roderick Groshong, a teacher at
Pelican School and chairman of
the Classroom Teachers' salary
committee, told board members
that the teachers would like to dis
cuss salaries at a private meet
ing. 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."

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. Clerk Harold
Ashley was authorized to purchase
a desk, chair and file for Mrs.
Angel on the basis of informal
bids.
Both districts heard reports that
work to bring buildings into com
pliance with orders recently issued
by the state fire marshal was com
ing along well. Faced with the pos
sibility that a few of the many
orders pertaining to District 1
might not be comulied with by the
deadline of January 15, the board
of this district adopted a resolution
directing , the superintendent of
schools to make a written reDort
to the state fire marshal explain
ing any delinquencies and asking
for a continuance of the deadline.
ine nign school district granted
a half-time teaching contract to Lil

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.
