A request for the drilling of an artesian-flow hot water well at the corner of Main and East Main prompted the opinion expressed by Wales that unrestricted flow of hot water from artesian wells can do considerable damage to hot water wells in the Klamath area. Wales first enumerated the rules and regulations of the State Engi neering Office for permits for well drilling. He pointed out that any well driller must be licensed for the diversion of water. HEATING COILS in a hot water well do not consitute water diver sion, he said. However, he point- out that in the Mills Addition and the Railroad Addition to Klam ath Falls there are wells where the heating coils are near the sur face and an artesian-type flow must be maintained to bring the heat to the coils. Some of these wells," he said are running off from 300 to 400 gallons of water per minute. This has resulted In reducing water temperatures in the area, and if water is allowed to be wasted and lost, the landowners will have no means of securing heat and a good many will thus be hurt." Wales stated that during his time the old Devils Tea Kettle has dried up, that the hot springs are not flowing in the canal the way they used to, and that these are signs of the danger in permit ting wells to flow indiscriminate ly- place Oliver Spiker who was in capacitated for several months. Leo Morstad, president of the Klamath Merchants Association appeared regarding a close out sale license ordinance being con sidered by the council. Morstad stated that his group would hold its annual meeting on Wednesday, January 27,. and he hoped to have the opinion of the group for the council meeting of February 1. The matter was post poncd until then. not un- GRAINS CHICAGO (API- High Low Close Prev.Close Wheat Mar 2.02 2.01 2.02V'- 2.02 2.02 2.01 2.01-Vi 2.02 1.84 1.83 1.83 1.83 1.86 1.86V4 1.86 1.86 1.91Vi,1.91 1.91 1.91V4 May Jly Sep Dec Corn Mar 1.15 1.14 1.15-15 1.15 1.18 1.17 1.18 1.18 1.20 1.19 1.19 1.20 1.16 1.16 1.16 1.16 1.10 1.10 1.10 1.10 May Jly Sep Dec Oats Mar May Jly !

ANGRY VIEWER LINCOLN, Neb. (UPI) Gary Lee Townsend, 8, sot angry at the hombres in a western movi on television. He blasted a inch hole in the TV screen with his father's shotgun. His small sister and a baby sitter were un harmed in the shooting Sunday He told the council that such flow is against the law and that these wells have been reported to the state, and that he expected action against these well owners to be taken by the state. Pressed for a time of action, he stated that it probably would not come until after the next session of the Legislature. When questioned further, Wales stated that in his own opinion, he did not feel that a flow of 10 to 15 gallons per minute would be detrimental. WE ARE REACHING the limit of our supply of water for heating purposes," he warned. A group of local well-drillers were present for the discussion, and brought forth the suggestion that discharge lines be installed on artesian-type wells which would permit only 10 to 15 gallons per minute discharge. They indicated that this would not be objectionable to them and that it could be easily accom-! plished. City Manager G. 5. Vergecr torn the group that there were two areas of control involved, the state and the city. The city is concerned, he said, with two things, protect ing the hot water wells of the resi dents of the city and protecting the storm sewers that receive the hot water discharged from these artesian-type wells. He suggested that some form of compensation be set up for the flowing wells which would com pensate the city for the damage the hot water does to the storm sewer lines, and that controls be required governing the discharge flow. The council approved the well drilling request providing It met the 10-15 gallons per minute re quirement, and instructed the city, manager to acquire information necessary for the construction of an ordinance to control such exist ing flowing wells. CITY ATTORNEY Henry Per kins reported to the council that the dancing ordinance covers only public dances, and that dances which werfi private in nature and where no admission was charged did not come under the Jurisdic tion of the ordinance. A request by the Merry Mixers for a square dance jamboree at the National Guard Armory on Shasta Way prompted the dec! sion. The council declared that it thus had no control over the request, and informed representatives of the group who were present that they did not need council approval for their activity. Councilman Walter Fleet was re elected president of the council, a position he has held since last Actor Cites Finch Threat LOS ANGELES (UPI) Actor Mark Stevens testified today that slain Barbara Finch told him her physician husband had threat ened her life "many times" and also beat her. Stevens was called by the slate at the murder trial of Dr. R. Ber nard Finch, 43, and his red-haired paramour, Carole Tregoff. The actor said he met the Finch couple three or four years ago at the West Side Tennis Club. He said that shortly before Mrs. Finch, 33, was shot to death she told him that her life had been threatened many times. "She suf fered many beatings," Stevens testified. Stevens said he gave Mrs. Finch a jack handle and told her that if the doctor approached her, "Say hello to him in the face with it." The doctor once threw Mrs, Finch to the floor, Stevens said she told him, and sat on her bosum for approximately four hours.

Locally they offer four programs in which that age group can make use of facilities the peewee gym program, day camp, family night and family camp at Lake of the Woods. The peewee gym contributes to the Y's "new look," says Secre tary Paul Campbell. He refers to the expanded roster of activities instituted in the past few years The idea was born a little over a year ago. A mother phoned to ask if the organization offered a program to develop muscular co ordination in primary school youngsters. The Y soon did offer such a program. The course is limited to 15 par ticipants. It is handled by three instructors, including Bruce Gal loway, associate secretary who has received considerable professional training. Others are Roger East man, a Klamath Union High School senior, and Dennie Won- Hague, a trainee and also a'KUHS student. The Y charges a small fee for each session. Bodily grace and skills are of first instructional importance. But instructors also try to develop in each student "the right attitude" toward others and the group. "Training also relates to their own personalities and social ad justment," says Campbell. The course is offered during fall, winter and spring. During sum mer, youngsters of that age are able to participate in day camp. They are taken to and returned from a camp in the woods daily. There they get a taste of fending for themselves in the outdoors. The family camp is conducted annually over the Labor Day week end. Families, including tots, are invited to relax and make use of YMCA facilities at a camp at Lake of the Woods. Family night is a weekly pro gram at headquarters, 722 Pine Street, where the entire family again may make use of the long list of facilities provided by the Y. Technician Says Package Held Dope A cigarette package passed by one Kingsley Field airman to en other did contain marijuana, a state police technician testified to day, but it contained an odd as sortment of other material as well. Lt. .Manuel Boyes, director of the Stale Crime Detection Labora tory in Portland, was the last state witness to appear in the trial of Airmail 2-e John William Cars well, 22, charged with illegal pos session of narcotics. Boyes said material contained in two papt rs one a cigarette pack age contained a grade of mari juana of medium quality. ' I ve seen bstler and I've seen worse," he sa.d. Additionally, Boyes said the two p.icKages contained thistle down, a hemp-like fiber, purple wool, and squirrel hair. One of the packages also contained light red and light green cotton fibers. District Attorney Arthur Beddoe managed to enter both packages inio evidence over objections of de fense attorneys P. K. Puckett and Richard C. Bcesley. The cigarette package was one the state main tains Carswcll passed to A2-C Michael Finncgan, the state's in tended key witness. The other package, a folded piece of paper, was found in Carswell's pocket during a dress ,dqwn at city po lice station, officers testified. The trial entered its second day today without Finnegan, the key witness. He was to have been the first witness to testify for the state, but he hadn't appeared in the courthouse at 11 a.m. yester day when testimony was about to begin. It developed that Finnegan had been transferred to Travis Air Force Base in California on De cember 14 for "extended medical evaluation." This was a normal procedure for any Kingsley air man requiring hospitalization, the Air Force said.. Return Files; Medic Asks A Klamath Falls eye specialist. Dr. Frank W. Johnson, is very anxious to retrieve two files of medical histories of patients which were locked in a safe that was stolen from his office at 112 North Fifth Street over the weekend. City police asked the burglars to send the documents to Dr. John son or police headquarters, or at least to leave them in a safe place where they are sure to be found. Dr. Johnson said burglars en tered the building through an un locked door on the ground floor and pried open the door to his sec ond floor office. They took the safe, also .containing $20 in cash, but touched nothing else. The theft was discovered Mon day morning by Mrs. Georgiannt Clark, Dr. Johnson's nurse. The Seine River flows through the city of Paris. Icy Pavement Causes Crash State police reported today one accident resulting from slick highways.
