Too often a person will ask "What will the chamber do for me?" without first consider ing "What can I do for the cham ber?" There will be no return even from a slot machine no mat ter what the odds until you first pull the handle, Some random thoughts on this first Sunday of the New Year . . . Despite the near-zero tempera- lures and the scanty manue oi white, the tourism industry in Klamath County remains active. One print of the chamDers iv film "Wish You Were Here," was shinned off to Milwaukee a week ago. Another print went south to the greater Los Angeies oiea . . . hand-carried by two new and good members of the chamber, Mr. and Mrs. Duane Wood, owners and proprietors of Fort Creek Resort, located near Fort Klamath. The Woods return to their former home n Southern California lor a tew weeks each winter, and devote most of their time down there to spreading the word not only aDoui their resort, but about all the Klamath country! This winter they took along a print of "Wish You Were Here" to show to various ofvirp pluhs. social organizations and church groups to wmcn mey belong. This service to the chamber olunteered by the Woods demon strates as well as anytning coma the principle of putting sometning into an organization or effort if you expect to get anything back Chessman Involved In Spat With Five Other Prisoners; SA.N Ql'KXTIX, Calif. (LPD A wild fight involving convict author Caryl Chessman and five other prisoners broke out Friday when the inmates in San Quen- tin s death row were led into their exercise arci to watch the bowl g.mies on television. The 15-minute free-for-all was the first of two fights here Friday. The other, involving two priso ners, sent one convict to the hos pital with face cuts requiring 3D stitches. Associate warden Louis Nelson said Chessman, sentenced to die in San Qucntin's gas chamber Feb, 19, leaped into a fight be tween Jim Merkotiris, 43, and Manuel Chaves, 27. He said Chess- the fray on the side man joined of Chavez. "The others evidently saw this as a chance to get their licks in loo," Nelson said. The otliT convicts involved were Clyde Bates, 39; Marion Lin din. 43; and Donald L. Cash, 32. Nelson said guards managed to liet all of the prisoners back into their cells except Cash and Mer kuuris. Cash lingered long enough to smash a siool on .Merkouris' head. Enraged, Merkouris then picked up the television set and dashed it to the floor. Merkouris suffered the only In juries, a bloody nose and bruises. Nelson said he would question participants in the brawl Monday before he decides on disciplinary action. He described Merkouris as a "loner" with whom the other prisoners don't associate. The other fight, which occurred a few hours alter the first brawl, broke out during the prison's New Year's Day show in the dining room. Nelson said Jessie Penal vcr. 33, was slashed about the face by Jesus Cervantes, 27. Ha said Cervantes seized a drinking glass from Penalver, broke it and attacked him with the jagged eJge. ; '. Cervantes was placed '.in isolation. ? Mrs. 9 In boy. Ice Skating Winners Told Three former Minnesota children dazzled other ice skaters with their footwork during a series ot con- ipsts at the Moore rarK nnit New Year's Eve. Betty McKinny won a race for girls 6 to 10 years of age. Her sis ter. Barbara, won the event for girls 11 to 13. Their brother, Charles, 5, was judged the young est skater on tne rink. Thev are children of Mr. and Mrs. Willard McKinny. He is prin cipal of Klamath Union High School. Winners of other races were Den nis Luczycki, boys 6 to 10; Dennis Rose, boys 11 to 13; Paul Myers, boys 14 to 16, and Bob Drace, boys 17 to 19. Willis Wood, 59, was the oldest skater, followed closely by Earl Clark. 55. All received prizes donated by local merchants. Some prizes re mained, since no entries were re ceived in several scheduled events, i City Parks and Recreation De partment personnel saidHhey may hold more races soon. The rink opens nightly from to 10 p.m. Skating is supervised on portions of Klamath Lake near tne park mornings ana auernoons, ioo, Another point is well illustrated here, and that is that chamber ef fort is the result of the voluntary contribution of ideas, energies, service and funds on the part of its many members. No chamber of commerce is a so-called "closed corporation," but is run by several of its members serving on various committees, and governed by board members and officers, elect ed by all of the members. The annual "report to the stock holders" of the Klamath County Chamber of Commerce is sched uled for Wednesday evening, Jan uary 20, at the Willard Hotel. AU members are not only invited, but urged to attend. In addition to a review of the chamber's activities during 1959, members will be asked to voice their opinions as to the activities the chamber should concentrate on during 1X0 to make of Klamath Falls and Klamath County a better place to live and; to make a living. A special feature of the meeting will be an inspir ing address by Page Lamoreaux, well known California business and "international entrepreneur," who has learned, first-hand, of the great potential of the Klamath Ba sin. And speaking of tourism as wo were at the outset it isn't an ex clusively summer-time industry. Just this week, a California cou ple stopped at the chamber offices for information. They were staying in Klamath Falls for a few days, and wanted to see Crater Lake and the Lava Beds before return ing south!
