Park, Shop Corporation
Hopes To Initiate Plan
The Klamath Falls Park and
Shop Corporation hopes to get it.-congestion-easing
parking plan
underway sometime next spring
Charles Schuss, corporation vice
president, said the group has sub
scribed about enough money to be
gin negotiations for the property
(or the initial two or three parking
lots.
Facilities are to be financed and
built by merchants and landlords.
About 25 have subscribed and pur
chased stock.
The plan is modeled on similar
parking arrangements which have
spread to 78 cities since it first
was tried in Allentown, Pennsyl
vania, 11 years ago.
It was presented to local mer
chants last year by officers of the
Klamath County Chamber of Com
merce. They invited William Barr,
president of the National Park and
Shop Association, to outline the
tctup locally.
Under the plan, shoppers will
drive into a Park and Shop lot.
An attendant will issue a ticket.
When the ticket is validated by
a participating merchant, it en
titles the bearer to an hour's free
parking. Each subsequent valida
'ion adds a free hour. Validation
vill depend on a purchase of mer
chandise. The corporation has not
yet set a minimum purchase price.
If ticket bearers make no Bur-
chases, they will be charged a
small amount when they leave the
parking lot.
The plan Is not designed to be
directly profitable. It has proved
to alleviate traffic congestion in
the cities in which it has been
tried. ;
Thus a shopping area becomes
more attractive to shoppers, corp
oration members say, increasing
property value and, of course,
sales.
Plans call for parking space cov
ering Main Street from Fourth
through Tenth streets.
utner corporation officers are
Jim McGuire, president: Lewis
VV.nyburn, secretary, and Al Hat-
Ian, treasurer.

Seamen Who Escaped Ship Tell Of Lifeboat Ordeal
SEATTLE (API Two of 22
seamen who escaped from the
wreck of the V. S. freighter Valley
Forge in a lifeboat told Tuesday

it overturned and being washed
up on a remote, swampy island
Charles L. Kidd Sr., 48, Balti
more, second mate .of the Valley
Forge, and seaman Norman Pet
tersen, San Francisco, 1 testified
before a Coast Guard board of
inquiry which expected to end a
three-day hearing Wednesday.
The 7,000-ton freighter ran onto
a reef in the South China Sea Dec.
31. The 37 men aboard escaped in
three boats.
The steel boat with 'Kidd and
Pettersen aboard was capsized by
waves but kept afloat by air
tanks. Kidd said flares and a sig
nal gun from the boat were used
to direct rescuers to the island.
Edmund W. Crull of Everett,
Wash., radio officer, who was also
aboard the lifeboat, told of crank
ing a hand radio generator for
emergency radio equipment. He
suggested that transistor radio re
ceivers be part of shipboard emer-

meetings of the Women's Civil
Defense Committee will be held
the second and fourth Tuesdays of
each month until complete organ
ization of the group is effected, it
was decided at Tuesday's meet
ing held at the Fremont School
cafeteria. Meeting place will be
announced for future meetings.
Mrs. Natalia Reichenberg, chair
man pro tern and the acting sec

time a vice chairman will be
named to fill the officer positions.
Mrs. Myrtle Caldwell of the
Klamath County Health . Depart
ment was appointed chairman of
a standing rules committee to se
lect rules and procedures by which
the committee will be governed.
Joe Searles, Klamath County

ucational and liaison functions of
the women's group. The committee
has been formed, also, to assist
in coordination of the various de
partments of the county, Civil De
fense get-up, he said.
The first project to be under

of committee members in all
phases of Civil Defense work. This
is necessary before the committee
can be of adequate service to the
community, Mrs. Reichenberg
pointed out.
Mrs. Bernard Schiff presented
material to the group on the nature
ot radiation fallout, a subject she
has studied extensively.
Fallout damage and practical
measures of prevention will be the
first topic covered by the group.
Sanitation will be covered by
Mrs. Caldwell at the next meet
ing. There will be discussion, also,
on radiation sickness. Announce
ment of time and place will be
made in advance of January 26.

SAV ANTONIO. Tex. (AP) -Four
brown mice Hickory, Dick
ory, Dock and Sock are helping
the space ase along.
They were viewed today by U.S.
and Allied scientists touring the
School of Aviation Medicine.
The mice are scaled in a little
cabin. All the oxygen they need
is provided by algae, the tiny veg
etation found in green pond
scums. Carbon dioxide exhaled by
the mice is used by the algae in
their life process.
The purpose is to develop a sys
tem to let astronauts live in a
scaled cabin indefinitely.
