CONELRAD Test Slated KOTI-TV and Klamath Falls three radio stations will be dead," for practical purposes, for half an hour Friday moriing. At that time, 8:30. to 9, the broadcasting power of KFLW, KFJI and KLAl) will be diverted from their normal positions on the dial and directed to CONELRAD frequencies instead. The idea is to test the station's usefulness in a civil defense emer gency. To get an idea of how weM It works, dial either 640 or 1240 kilocycles the CONELRAD frequencies. State Civil Defense headquarters says the exercise is part of Oper ation Alert 19a9, a nationwide test of all radio stations that, is to last two days. CONELRAD is an abbreviation for "CONtrol of ELcctromagnetic RADiation and, very briefly, is to serve two purposes in time of attack. In the first olace. listeners will know where to dial (640 or 1240) for f Hal civil defense information. Secondly, the idea would prevent enemy location of a city by fol lowing radio signals. Broadcasts CONELRAD frequencies are shared by all stations which alter nate signals so no one station is on the air for more than a few seconds at a time. For purpose of the exercise Fri day morning, state civil defense headquarters said, the emphasis will be on post-attack needs. Mes sages regarding rehabilitation of survivors, reconstruction of dam ned facilities and recovery from attack will be emphasized. The exercise lasts only half an hour, after which normal program ming will be resumed.

The Broadway stai.fi FEATURE AT Service Not By Post Office Cutback By RUTH KING i April 30 will mark the final day for the operation of the Olene Post Office as an independent office. When closing time comes on that day, Mrs. Elsie Eggers, postmas ter for the last IS years will de stroy the old hand stamp with which letters have been marked Olene" and the next morning. May 1, will stamp the first letter, Olene plural station. The official change, ordered by, the Post Office Department, Rural Appointments and Post Office Divi sion, Washington D.C., as a cut back in postal operation costs, will make scarcely a dent in the rou tine that patrons at Olene have followed for many years. The 27 mail boxes that have been rented at the post office locat ed in a tiny corner in the Olene Store, will continue to have mail tucked by Mrs. Eggers into their yawning openings. Letters may still be mailed out at the office and those patrons who have been served by Rural Route 2, Klamath Palls, will receive mail from the rural mail carrier. The only change will be the transfcr.of book work, the ordering of supply stock by the Klamath rails Post Office, and a smaller paycheck for Mrs. Eggers. The history of the Olene office dates back to November 24, 1834 when Gilbert Anderson passed out the first mail in a tiny "L" shaped frame building that still stands on the George Stevenson ranch on I I DENNIS THE MENACE I'MNOrSQNMA SfW THAT Ot,' CHAIR ' " CITY Rummage Sale The Business and Professional Women's Club will hold a rummage sale on April 24 and 25 at the Pelican Theater Building.

The name Olene, meaning "eddy in a river, in the Klamath Indian language, was suggested to the post otfice department by the late Capt. Oliver C. Applegate. The ed dies later disappeared with the placing of a water wheel in the river to raise water for irrigation to the land. Some time later, the office was moved to the site of the present Olene Store and post office and later yet, about IS years ago, it was incorporated into the present building when Mrs. Eggers bought he property. The second building was put up by Charles Gray. The change to become ellective this year was contemplated by Washington three years ago but failed at the 11th hour when Ore gon legislators in Oregon said "Nay" to the U.S. Post Office Department. Then, as she will now, Mrs. Eggers complied with the law of the department and made out reams of reports and was pre pared to destroy the old stamp. Names ot the various postmas ters down through the years can not all be recalled by those who have lived here since the first Olene office was opened but some of those first patrons still receive mail under that postmark. The change marks the steady tramp of progress and adds anoth er milepost to history of the Klam ath country.
