KLAMATH FALLS: OREGON U.S. National New 'Custom The Klamath Falls branch of United States National Bank o! Portland is offering an all-new per sonal financing plan which operates much like a revolving credit plan, according to Lester C. Offield, lo cal manager. Custom Credit, as the new nlan is called, has been the subject of advertising by the bank in the Herald and News and is being in troduced on a statewide basis through all of U.S. National's 68 banking ollice in Oregon.- The plan practically permits me customer to "write .his own loan by simply writing checks, explained k. L. sammons, u.s. national president at Portland. The checks are written as neeaea, against a pre-arranged personal line of cred it. 'ADDlicants meeting routine credit requirements will have a personal line of credit established Strike Scene Relatively Quiet Again HENDERSON, N.C. (API-Rel ative calm prevailed Friday night at quitting time at the strike-torn Harriet-Henderson Cotton Mills. The worst violence was a steady roll of, rifle fire that shattered some mill windows during the night shift, But there were no re ports of injuries. Homcbound nonunion workers were greeted with catcalls and mi nor harassmcnts from about 200 union members outside the mill gates. Said Asst. Police Chief HaH old Watkins: t I don't know what the reason was, but it was certainly surpris ingly quiet." It was nothing like the burst of shooting earlier in the week, nor, police said, was it like what was expected following Mills President John D. Cooper Jr.'s announce ment Friday that he would start a third shift next Tuesday night. Cooper, saying he will not yield "to force and violence," rejected pleas of local and state officials to hold off further nonunion hiring in the six-month-old strike. Police said an antiviolence state ment by the Textile Workers Un ion of America (AFL-CID) seemed to have a calming effect. The strike began Nov. 17 when Cooper and the union failed to agree on a new contract. The chief controversy was over continuing a 14-year-old arbitration provision in the contract. Management claimed the provision had been abused. -That' issue was mediated by Gov. Luther H. Hodges a week ago. Arbitration was limited to matters of workers discipline. No Visitors Permitted The condition of Orvil Haney a logger who suffered a compound fracture of the leg in a log fall Tuesday, remained critical Klamath Valley Hospital Satur day. A family member said compli cations set in after surgery Thurs day and that Haney, a resident of 3234 Bisbee Street, was not permitted to have visitors. Woman Struck By Bullet First Thought By RUTH KING I thoucht it was part of the jet going past overhead that had hit the kitchen, when I heard the crash from the broken window, said Mrs. Beverly York, who es caped serious injury Thursday evening when struck by a stray .22 rifle bullet. "It was the most fantastic thing that ever happened to me, and I served overseas in Africa and Italy in World War II." Mrs. York was in the WAC signal corps abroad from 1943 to 1945. The .22 short slug passed be tween three homes, skimmed by telephone poles and trees, pierced a kitchen window four feet from the stove where she stood, and entered the inside of her right arm above the elbow on a elant, penetrating the flesh one quar ter inch. deep. Investigating state police found the bullet may have been fired by a 15-year-old boy shooting at birds on a distant canal bank. The rifle and slug have been sent to Port land for ballistic tests. "It all happened so suddenly. continued Mrs. York, who nearly 24 hours later was still somewhat shaken by her experience. "I was preparing dinner about 5 p.m. and was stirring a cherry cobbler. The bullet sort of stunned me and I had slivers of glass in my face on the left side, and then I saw the blood. The bullet had dropped O People Read SPOT ADS - you are Bank Offers Credit1 Plan for them at the bank." Offield ex plained. "The total amount (or line of credit) will be for 20 times the monthly repayment amount the bank and the customer agree upon. In other words, a personal line of credit of loOO. to be used in part or in its entirety whenever the customer wishes, would call for monthly repayment of $25. The repayments would start only when the line of credit is used." A person need not be a deposi tor at th bank to make applica tion under this programs Offield pointed out. - Users pay nothing until ine crea- is used. Then they pay the agreed-upon monthly installment plus Interest. Monthly interest rate, charged only on the amount actu ally used, win be il.zs per siuo for the first S500 and 83 1-3 cents per hundred on amounts above that, plus 25 cents for each Cus tom Credit check written. The bank will -mail detailed statements to users approximate ly 10 days before p monthly pay ment' is due. Only one application is necessary since the customer may always use the difference between what he owes and bis total line of credit. In addition, 1he line of credit auto matically renews itself as each monthly payment reduces the amount owing and thereby re. builds the amount of unused credit. The effect is to create a revolv ing bank credit that may be used indefinitely. Customers will be furnished with free supplies of checks which car- ry all the negotiability of regular checking account checks. An important factor of the serv ice will be free life insurance, pro vided by the bank, for the users of Custom Credit which in event of death of the customer will pay off for him and his family any amount owing under his Custom Credit plan. Early Malin , Resident Dies MALIN Joseph Smidl Sr., 76, 'a native of Czechoslovakia, and a resident of Malin for 50 years, died early Saturday at his home here. -Dea h followed a neart at tack. He had-not been ill previous. lv. Smidl was one oi me original Czech colonists who settled Malin in 1009, coming from Seattle.

"We threw the dinner out. it was ail full of glass, even the cherry cobbler." said the plucky resident, of 4431 Clinton Avenue. And as a climax to an incident that so easily might have proven fatal. Mrs. York told' this story of the thoughtful gesture of small boy whom she does not know. "Dennis was outside when this little boy. about five or six, came up with an envelope in his hand, He handed it to Dennis saying, 'This is a get well card for the ladv who was killed. Told that "the lady,: was only injured, the small lad gasped disappointed '.'Oh" and turned down the street toward home. 1 W B7 - Ja 1 Jit" '"NAN. 9 f mm Court Decides Against Reservation The .Klamath County Court has decided not to attempt a section- by-section appraisal of the Klam ath Indian Reservation this year. Instead, the court decided to place the vast tribal unit of the reservation on county tax rolls on the basis 'of appraisals already made for the federal government. We're not going to neglect it, County Judge Bob Walker said, but we re not going to ao n now." , The decision was reached Fri day at a meeting of the court, the County Budget Board and rep resentatives of the State Tax Com mission including Commissioner Charlie Mack. The nrob em involved appraisal of the 140.000-acre tract of land being held in trust for. Klamath Indians who voted to stay in me tribe. That land will go on county tax rolls under terms of the Klam ath Reservation Termination Act, and it must have an appraised value. The matter was brought to fo cus by County Assessor Hap Cald well, who included in his budget request for the next fiscal year $24,000 for appraisal purposes, witn an accompanying $20,000 request for the following year. That amounts to $44,000 in two years, and would be matched by the State Tax Commission which bv law shares timber appraisal expenses with counties. A total of $88,000 for the big job. - Mack, formerly county judge un til his appointment to the com- mission in February, came here with two aides to see if we could help that's our job." The aides were Wally Eubanks, head of the timber department, and Larry Michaels, assistant director of the evaluation, department. Those men. - the county court, tne ouogei ooara ana otners in cluding Tom Watters, former man agement specialist; Earl- Wilcox, manager of tne Tribal sales utnee Forrest Cooper. Lakeview attor ney, and others, agreed tne nest policy was to wait. An important reason, as aaviser Andy Collier pointed out, was that the ownership may cnange again in five years. - Remaining members of t n a tribe, for whom the land is being held in trust, will vote again in five years on whether they wish to continue tribal operation, or wish to sell the land to individ ual buyers. The latest existing appraisal of the land actually is an average of three separate reviews of a 1957 appraisal. It provides an accepted value as of last December 31 and most of those present agreed, acceptable as long as the land remains under single ownership. If ' the tribe should decide to sell the land in five years, the Department of Agriculture has first refusal (option). That means it would go into a national for est, and not do the county much Paternity Suit Not Contested SANTA MONICA. Calif.

(AP) - The Pacific Northwest section of the American Water Works Assn. Fri day urged fluoridation of public water supplies as an "effective, safe and practical" means of re ducing dental caries. A report to the 32nd annual con vention said British Columbia -has six fluoride installations serving water supplies for 48,000 persons. Washington has 14 installations for 110,948 water users and Oregon 13 installations serving 109,891 per sons. MOTHER'S DAY GIFT PROBLEMS SOLVED! 1-Dav 5a e ' t. SUNDAY ONLY BUSH Furniture" Co. Nut H Willard Hartl Appraisal good for property taxes, anyway. And if tne lana is som to some body else, it would have to be reappraised anyway. Wilcox, asked for his views of the appraisals made for the fed eral government, said they were accurate to within i per cent, or less. As a taxoaver. he said in re sponse to a question from Budget Board Chairman R. P. Ellingson, "I'd say accept the present fig ures, adiust for growtn, ao tna rest of the county, and then come back when we have the time and money to do it. This was the conclusion accept ed although agreement was not unanimous. Buzz Wagner, forester tor ruamam ana uane counties jointly hired by the counties and the tax commission, oia not agree. I don t think it '(the past ap praisal) was good cruise. If I thought it was a good cruise, I d be the first to say so. But I don't think it's a good cruise for our purpose." The group generally agreed. however, that the cruise was suf ficient so long as the unit re mains intact especially, since' a new appraisal might be required five years from now. , , Historic Lake Property Sold By Wampler Landmark property changed hands last week with the sale of the combined Wampler and Harry and Rose Poole homesteads at Coon Point, off Lake of the Woods road.
