By BILL JENKINS
Louie Polin. the gaudiest charac
ter to hit this town in many a
long year, has made another move.
He has sold out his El Picador
Hotel in Palm Springs and is head
ing for the glitter capital of the
West, Las Vegas.
I am inlormed that
picked up a piece of the El Mor
occo there and will add his bit
to the world of gambling and glad
handing Nevada style.
We certainly wish Louie all the
luck no pun Intended in the
world in his new venture.
If you have come to Klamath
in recent years and missed the
chance of knowing Louie we feel
iorry. It is an experience that one
should have.
Along with a lot of others in
Klamath 111 always remember
Louie as the genial proprietor of
Polin's Corner Store on the corner
of Seventh and Main All the
youngsters in town hung out there,
humming Louie for soft drinks,
buying magazines when they could
and reading them in the slore
when they couldn't alford to pungle
up the necessary nickel or dime.
Louie was always a quiet, con
servative man. Comparatively
speakng, that is. Compared to a
three ring circus, maybe.
His favorile carriage was a
large, long, powerful convertible,
with the top down even in winter.
His usual costume wa.s a pair of
bright blue or red slacks, a yellow
sports coat his car was yellow.
too a green shirt, a purple scarf
and a red. white and blue spurting
cap. In cold weather this ensem
ble was topped with a real camel
hair wrap-around coat All this on
Louie who was built along similar
but somewhat solider lines to the
late Lou Costellp.
Louie always felt that he should
add a dash of color to all this
just to make sure people knew he
was around .so he traveled with a
big Dalmatian dog in the back
seat ol the convertible, the spot
ted pup adding Ihe final fillip to
the entourage.
Louie was a friend lo man if
there ever was one He quit school
t an early age lo start al the
hotlom of Ihe ladder as a news
butcher. He was Ihe best newspa
per salesman I've ever seen And
lie parlayed the business into a mil
lion bucks, more or less, over the
years.
The only limes I ever saw Louie
Wow his slack was at the lights.
He was an ardent and vocal fight
fan any kind of a fight .
And if it wasn't a light it was
baseball or something else. He
still carries around press passes
to such things as the Jack Johnson
Jess Willard heavyweight cham
pionship brawl in 1915. and keeps
in touch with all the colorlul sports
figures with which he has had a
close association over Ihe years

Louie Polin has taken a hand in
things Of that 1 am sure.
I have nrver hern, to Las Vegas,
being a very close man with a
dollar, hut il anything could ever
induce me lo risk that trip it would
be Louie.
Of course I don't know if I d

They also added. "If much of
the downtown area at night looks
like the sidewalks were rolled up
too soon, it's just plain because
decentralization it having its day
in the eating line, too "
In my wanderings in Salem, both
that night and the next day, 1
noticed a number of store places
which were abandoned and empty.
The process of downtown decen
tralization is well along in Salem
If this is the future for cities,
then certainly the store owners had
better get to work to hold the core
of the business area downtown in
Klamath Falls intact.
Ironically, there were some very
large and suitably placed parking
lots in the downtown Salem area,
and they were well used, I noled.
We could use these in Klamath
Falls.
Maybe Hi merely local pride,
but I can't help but compare Klam
ath Falls with Salem. One can lind
plenty of good places to eat in the
downtown area at any time of
night.
There is no mistaking the busi
ness core of the city of Klamath
Falls, and although some areas,
such as Ihe strip along Klamath
Avenue, look somewhat the worse
for wear, and have Amply fronts,
we are still a vital, on our-toes
city in comparison to the Salem
I visited the other day.
I hope this doesn't start an inter
city war. and if Salem reads this
charge it off to local pride.
However, we both agree on one
thing and that is that any bellhop
worth his salt will know where Ihe
nearest ealing or drinking place is
to his hotel. Might not hurt for
local hotel owners to check their
bellhops or their personnel as to
their knowledge about these things.
Oh. yes. one final item. They of
