Chamber Of Commerce Views Next Decade Here By TOM STIMMEL A Portland visitor commented recently on the growth and eco nomic vigor she found apparent in Klamath Falls. The lady hadn t Course Given By Orefech Registration for a course for adults, "Communications Bar riers, ollered by Oregon Techni cal Institute, beginning this week, will be open until Monday eve ning, said instructor James Boyle. He defines the course as "a sort of group and personal learning sit uation, including some basic se mantics. It deals with jumping to conclusions," preventing "clos ing of the mind," giving and get ting information, making assign ments and corrections, managing people who are poor listeners, and getting a group to talk effectively together. The course was developed by Dr. Irving J. Lee, former profes sor of English and semantics at Northwestern University, for em ployes of Bell Telephone of Illinois. The class will meet each Tues day for nine more sessions from 7 until 10 p.m. at Klamath Un ion High School. Tuition is $31.50 A handbook costs a dollar. Another course, "Human Rela tions," was planned but dropped for lack of interest. More information is available from Paul T.

She emptied the bathroom ham per and then stepped into it. The hamper overturned and be came jammed between a fixture and the door. The harder Isabell Bethoney pulled the grealer the pressure on the child. Mrs. Bethoney called firefight ters who cut the hamper. Bswrvc'Mr'ri''wif ! f - S: J- i R. FRANK TUCKER expected to see so much going on down here, or to find business so flourishing. Such a notion is not unusual among visitors from the far north, says Chamber of Commerce Man ager R. Frank Tucker. Too many travelers from the people part of Oregon expect to find Klamath Falls a tiny town tucked away in a remote section of the state, iso lated from commerce, trade, and progress itself. They all feel different when they get down Jiere. From the chamber point of view, there should be even greater sur prises for such onlookers in the next decade. Tucker foresees for Klamath County in the next lo years: A broadening wood processing industry utilizing both wet and dry materials for manufacturing pulp, fibreboard and similar wood by products. Johns-Manville got the idea started, and the industry should expand rapidly. Introduction of metal fabricat ing and manufacturing plants, in cluding the now-remote prospect of developing titanium. Electco-cheiiBcal and electro- metallurgical plants utilizing wood chemicals and minerals, through river and lake power projects. Food processing and food man ufacturing plants located at the source, e.g. potatoes. Great expansion of the tourist business prompted by more vaca tion time and federal superhigh ways from the East, and centered locally about Crater Lake National Park. Construction of new schools, businesses, and homes to accom modate the area's growing population. Tucker supports his view of the future by looking into the past He backs his contentions with sta tislics. For years, he said, the economy of Klamath County had been based upon lumber and agriculture. This was a good thing. The heart of our economy was diversified, and seldom were both elements in a slump at the same time. This stability produced the high est per-capita income in Oregon Tucker said. Fortunately, the ccon omy still is based on these di verse activities, and both are healthy. Added lo this base was Air Force reactivation ot Mngsley Held, which has had a tremendous im pact on community economic life. By January 1 a year ago, the Air Force had stationed 250 of ficers, men, and civilian employes here. In the months between January 1, 1959 and May 15, 1959, the personnel total was up to 1,300 persons, with a payroll of half a million dollars a month. Now, Tucker said, 290 Air Force families live in Falcon Heights near the base and another 550 Air Force families live in what he calls the Klamath Falls Metropoli tan Area. This addifion Tucker regards as icing on the cake. The cake it self is getting better and bigger. Through 1955, the chamber man ager said, growth in Klamath County was gradual and steady. The first major spurt in growth came that year when the Air Force began rehabilitating the World War II Navy Base at Kings ley Field. Growth continued, and by 1958 bank debits (written checks' reached an annual all-time high of $366 million up $91 million from 1953. Last year bank debits hit a new peak of $403 million, an increase of $35 million in one year alone. Other statistics, comparing last year with figures five years ear lier (in parentheses): Building permits within Klam ath Falls city limits, $2,580,000 ($1,392,000); power customers, 16, 274 (14.314); parking meter re ceipts, $63,068 ($52,698); postal re ceipts, $117,159 ($297,611); phone connections, more than 15,000 (11, 715); water customers, 9.088 (8.249). The balance between lumbering and agriculture has been stabilized even more. Tucker said, through three factors, the Johns-Manville plant, Air Force activation of King.sley Field, and hydro electric development projects. In the first two, the chamber of commerce had a leading role, he said. In the latter, it had a signifi cant substantiating role. "We have very definite results from programs launched by the chamber,'.' he observed. "Now is the time for people to act and take advantage of these things."
