CHAMBER OMMENTS by GEORGE T. CALLISON AifistaM Mgr. KLAMATH COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The Klamath County Chamber's colorful tourist promotion folder, published just a year ago, re ceived what we humbly consider long overdue recognition this week when it was awarded a gold ribbon lor sales promotion literature in its class. The award was received in behalf of the chamber by mana ger, Ii. Frank Tucker, at the an nual meeting of the Oregon Adver tising Club in Portland. Credit for the success of the bright, appealing folder actually is a three-way affair. Ed Brother hood, former assistant manager of the chamber, and now manager of the Hanford (California) Chamber "DENNIS THE MENACE" of Commerce, developed the orig inal idea for the folder created the first rough layout. The fin ished product was the work of Agency Lithograph of Portland, who submitted the folder to the Oregon Advertising Club for con sideration. Purchase of 150.000 of the striking folders was made pos sible through the cooperation of the wayside industries of the Klam ath area, and for that, credit goes to chamber director, Charlie Schuss, and his Tourist and Con vention Committee. Jim Stilwell's Industrial Devel opment Committee is sporting a brand new brochure extolling the Klamath area's unlimited water and timber resources, fine trans portation facilities and unparal leled livability to any and all busi nesses and industries contcmplat ing locating here. The brochure will be mailed out in answer to business or industrial inquiries and will become an important addition to the portfolio of the county's traveling salesmen." Oregon's top salesman. Gov. Mark Hatfield, will take a supply of the bro chures along with him when he and some 30 of the state's busi ness and industrial representatives make a prospecting swing through Chicago, New York, Boston and other Midwestern and Eastern in dustrial centers this spring.

The purpose of National Future Farmers of America Week is to focus attention on the work of the Future Farmers of today who will be the successful farmers of tomorrow. The nation must have a' constant supply of new farmers every year to replace those who die, retire or otherwise leave the farm. These must be men with experience and training, for the successful farm er today is both a scientist and a businessman, mechanic and a laborer, at the same time capable of leadership in the affairs of the community. Vocational Agriculture and the FFA constitute one of the most effective programs yet developed for training boys to be good farm ers and helping them to become established in the farming occupa tions of their choice.

Compact, Conservative, Classical COMET and Alturas. In view of the nation's need for new farmers, it is fitting that rec ognition be given to these young men who are preparing for careers in farming. The four classes in the cham ber's Action Course in Practical Politics are nearing the end of their nine week session. While a complete account of the accom plishments of the course undoubt edly will appear in the news col umns of this paper (Tom Stim- incl and Virginia Fuller of the H & N are avid students in the Wednesday evening class), but two items which will bear fuller coverage later on (no pun intend ed) are well worth mentioning here. One class project uncov ered what is said to be the only copy of the bill establishing Klamath County passed by the Legislature on October 17, . 1882. Another project resulted in the development of an up-to-date pre cinct map of the Klamath Falls area. The interest engendered in po litical matters as a result of the course is, naturally, very gratify ing, and was just what the U.S Chamber hoped for when it made the course available a little over a year ago. As of January, 1960 the National Chamber reports that about 2,500 Action Courses for over 42,000 citizens have been held, are now underway or are definitely planned by business firms, cham bers of commerce, trade and pro fessional associations and other community organizations. Obviously, no course of this kind is any better than the discussion leaders and participants make it. From the results achieved thus far there can be no doubt that the four leaders and 60-odd per sons participating in the local ac tion course are making it an out standing example of what the course can accomplish toward re awakening interest in politics and government.
