Ban Imposed On Skating Ominous cracking sounds in the ice on Klamath Lake near Moore Park prompted the city Park and Recreation Department to cancel supervised skating on most areas there Wednesday morning. The frozen area attracted about 350 skaters Tuesday, the first day of the supervised program, said George Price, department director He had arranged for supervision v hen he and his aides noticed a lot of boys skating dangerously near the far edge of the ice, about 100 yards from shore, where warm springs prevent the layer from getting thick. The ban is in effect indefinitely. Department personnel indicated they would notify the public when the ice is safe. Meanwhile, free supervised skat ing will continue at the rink al .Moore Park evenings and in a lagoon on the lake from 10 a.m. until noon and 1 to 4 p.m. daily.

Slick Roads Cause Mishap Skaters who two weeks ago were clamoring for ice at the Moore Park skating rink have been get ting more of it than they bar gained for. Slick roads precipitated one auto accident there Tuesday night, and city police believe four more minor accidents occurred near the park ing area previously during the eve ning which were not reported. They took Barbara Vinson, 15, 728 Owens Street, to Klamath Val ley Hospital for treatment of a lEceration near one eye. She was a passenger in a car driven by Victor Alexander, 17, 2726 Hope Street, police said. The Alexander car struck one driven by Katherine May Harris, 18, 1845 Lakeview Avenue, at 8:15 p m. when she stopped to give room to wreckers towing another car away, they added. No citations were issued and no others were injured. Olficcrs said the road was so slick they had trouble standing while investigat ing the accident. Police also investigated an acci dent at the corner of East Main Street and Eberlein Avenue Tues day afternoon. They said a car driven by Arthur Sherman Acker- man, 40, 1317 East Main, hit the rear of one driven by Bob Howard Rider, 29, 3854 Crest Street, as Rider stopped before turning from East Main onto Eberlein. No injuries resulted. Ackerman was charged with following too closely. Fuel Truck Catches Fire A fuel oil delivery truck caught fire at the Jay Hawk Petroleum P:oducts service station at the Town and Country Shopping Cen ter early Wednesday morning. damaging the truck and bringing suburban and city firemen roaring to the scene. The small truck was empty of fuel oil, firemen said. They said a hosp reel at the rear of the truck was badly damaged and the rear tires scorched. Puzzled firemen could only as sume that defective wiring at the truck's rear short - circuited and touched off the blaze. It was dis covered at 3:35 a.m. by a mer chants' policeman. The truck had been parked in the station yard at 6 p.m. and had not been driven since. Hospital Frees Judge County Judge Bob Walker was released Tuesday afternoon from Klamath Valley Hospital where he had been confined since Sunday with complications that developed alter a severe nosebleed.

Police Seek Firebug City plice are offering a place of comfortable warmth to the per son who built a fire in the foyer of a new store on Oregon Avenue Tuesday morning. They would like to have him spend some time in the city jail. Officers said they received a call Tuesday from William Noland, manager of a business called "The Better Living Plan," 1414 Oregon Avenue. Someone had entered the foyer tnrough a pair of unlocked double doors and touched off a cardboard bonfire, police said. About $50 damage resulted to a tile floor, they said. Police also received a reporl from Robert L. Gray, a transient, that he was beaten by some men while in the rest room of a local billiards parlor Tuesday evening. Gray said he was hit and kicked. He was treated at Klamath Val ley Hospital for lacerations about his left eye. He told officers he is not sure how many men attacked him. His assailants were strangers to him, he said.

Charles manages the Pelican Drive In, 4729 South Sixth Street. Land Sold At Auction Twelve of 30 parcels of tax de linquent land were sold this morn ing at a public auction conducted by Sheriff Red Britton from the chilly steps of the courthouse. The lots were authorized for sale by the county court after they had become tax delinquent, for mer owners had been given one year to reclaim the land, and the sale had been advertised. Included in the sale were both city and rural lots. Prices ranged from $10 up to $1,500, the amount paid by Frank McClane for prop erty at the corner of Montclius Street and Lakcport Boulevard. The property included several buildings. Approximately 20 bidders braved the weather to participate in the sale and paid a total price of $3,345 for the 12 lots bought. The 30 parcels represented land coming up for sale both this year and last. No sheriff's sale of land was held last year. Joy Riding Youth Guilty A circuit court jury deliber ated only 25 minutes Wednesday before finding Richard W. Way- burn guilty of using a motor ve hicle without the owner's permis siou.

He was arrested by city police after a hot chase last No vember 12. Circuit Judge David R. Vanden berg set no specific time for Way burn's sentencing. Changes Slated January 1 Rv Juvenile Department V MT Significant changes in the way juvenile cases are handled will be come effective January 1. Most of the changes mi re quired by state laws, but a few were instituted by the juvenile de partment here. The differences will be greatest in two categories traffic penalties will be stiffened, and a good many offenders will appear belore a new officer in the juvenile court organ ization, a referee. ' The referee," explained Juve nile Officer Francis Mathews, "is to be a legal representative of the court. He will broaden the scope oi the court." A result, Mathews believes, will be that more juvenile cases will reach the stage of formal hearings, ana more cases will become a mat ter of legal record. The referee is an intervenor, so designated in a revision of the ju venile code by the 1959 Legislature which created the office. As before, a juvenile brought in by police will go before a juvenile counselor for interview, possibly with his parents. If the counselor considers the offense sufficiently so-ious, or the offender sufficiently needy, the case will be docketed for juvenile court. But under the new law, an in ter ening referee will consider types of cases which before were handled informally. After a com plete interview with counselor, ju venile, and probably parents, he will make recommendations. These recommendations, based upon find ings of fact, will be submitted to Juvenile Judge Charles II. Foster. Once the judge signs the recom mendations (to be submitted on forms now being printed), the rec- Accused Thief Waives Hearing LAKEVIEW Melmon W. Fletch er, held in the Lake County Jail 01 charges of larceny by embez zlement, appeared in the justice court here Monday and waived pre liminary hearing on 13 felony counts. Arraignment was postponed 011 a misdemeanor charge. He is represented by Forrest E. Cooper. District Attorney Chick Chaloupka is prosecuting attorney. Bail on the felony counts was set at $10,000 on one and $3,000 on each of the other 12, or a total of $46,000. On the misdemeanor charge the bail of $2,500, set when the warrant was issued, is contin ued. No bail has been posted. Fletcher, a former bookkeeper for the Lakeview Manufacturing Com pany, local lumber firm, was ar rested last week at Reedsport and brought back to Lakeview. He had been working for the local concern for the past 13 years and was dis charged about a month ago. The embezzlement charges against him developed later. ommendations becm a cettrt 0 "A etitfirmua ctnei ttdor," Miihewi said, "will have more weight f law and authority." A desired effect, he believes, will be formal, authoritative action on types of lesser juvenile offenses which previously were handled on an entirely informal basis. Copies of the referee's recom mendations go to the juvenile's par ents as well as to the judge. Par ents may appeal the recommenda tions within three days. If an ap peal is filed, the case automatical ly goes before the judge for com pute review. The law requires that the referee be a person qualified by training and experience to hear juvenile mailers, appointed by the judge. It is anticipated that Mathews will be the referee for general hear ings, and that Mrs. Maxine Smith, traffic counselor, will be the traf- 11c reieree. Imposition of a traffic referee adds the authority of a formal hearing to cases which seldom ap pear before the judge in the es tablished juvenile court. Under the county's present point traffic violations under an estab lished scale a juvenile driver with seven points against his record will have his license suspended. Now the driver will get a hear ing before the referee if he has reached seven points. The driver's paicnts will be summoned to ap pear at the hearing, police offi cers will be present, and the wit nesses will be sworn before testi fying. Juvenile workers in other parts of Oregon have found Klamath County's point system an effective and fair means of controlling ju venile traffic. The system, quite familiar to most young drivers, will remain basically the same after the first of the year, but these changes have been added: Reckless driving (which equals seven points and suspension) also will include driving at any speed gror.ter than 30 miles an hour above the designated limit. Failure to observe restrictions, such as wearing glasses, will equal three points. So will defective foot brakes. Double parking will cost two points. Two extra points (in addition to specified points) will be assessed for violations resulting in an acci dent, and failure to report for a hearing or interview. Another change coming concerns truancy from school. A first offense will result in a warning from school authorities; a second offense will bring an interview and a written nctice of possible court action against parents; the third offense will come before the referee, and a complaint may then be filed against parents for permitting tru ancy, if deemed advisable. City Policeman Becomes Father City policeman Carl Jennings was passing out cigars today at the city jail. At about 6:25 p.m. Tuesday his wife presented him with a 6 lb., 15'i oz. baby boy.
