HERALD AN'H NKWS. Klamath Falls. Ore. Stinclav. Fph. 21. 1060 PACK S A In the "plans, dreams, bright Ideas and other brainstorms cat egory, the Klamath Falls Parks and Recreation Department is hatching plans lor the biggest proj ect to appear on the Klamath Falls scene in years, a chip and putt golf course, just inside the main gate at Moore Park. This type of golf is being met with popularity throughout t h e country by all types and sizes of golfers, from the country club pro to the tyros. Make no mistake, nine-hole par three golf is not a poor substitute for customary golf, it's merely a cutdown version o( its 18-hole big brother. The advantages of this type ol golf are as numerous as golf balls In a water hazard. Among these advantages are that: 1. Only a small area is required for such a course, as a conse quence cost for construction maintenance, and operation will be lower, making the cost to the general public considerably lower. 2. Shorter playing areas allow the golfer to finish faster, thus al lowing the working man a chance to participate and the weekend golfer a chance to extend his play. 3. A regulation nine-hole course Is available for play from dawn to about two hours before dark (as suming it takes two hours to com plete a round), and if the course becomes lighted, additional time can be added. This is important because it will allow the 8 to 5 o'clock man to engage in golf ing. 4. The veteran golfer, with the need to try for distance elimi nated, can work on his short game and putting techniques. The par 3 duplicates almost all the ap proach and putting problems the golfer is likely to find on a regu lation course. 5. Golf beginners learn the game more quickly and enjoyably on the chip and putt course where the errant shot .is less severely pen alized and where the beginner is less likely to constitute a hazard or hindrance to the more expe rienced players ahead of or behind him. 6. Older players are benefited because the lesser distance de creases the exertion necessary to play chip and putt golf. ' The lpcation picked for this fu ture golf course is ideally suited for such use. In the past, this sec tion of Moore Park has been used for nothing except growing forage which is cut and sold. Such a course will not only give more people an opportunity to play golf, but also enhance the looks of the park and increase the utilization of en area which is presently of no value as park space. Recreation Director George Price and his assistants will wel come any suggestions anyone has concerning the development of such a golf course. It might be added that this course is not just in the realm of theory. As soon as weather conditions permit, a trial green wil be prepared to find out the most feasible soil-cinder-bed rock combination for this lo cale. ALL WE HEAR . IS "NYET!" "Nyet" is the Russian word for "no." To 76 million oppressed people behind the Iron Curtain in captive nations, "nyet" is a hated word. "Nyet" to freedom of speech, "nyet"to freedom of the press, "nyet" to the right to know the truth, "nyet" to all the freedoms we Americans take for granted. But freedom cannot be taken for granted. It has always been won by toil, money and blood and must be zealously guarded. RADIO FREE EUROPE helps you protect your freedom by bringing the truth and a glimpse of freedom to people who live in the dark world of communist lies. RADIO FREE EUROPE needs your dollars! Freedom-loving Americans are its only means of support. President Eisenhower himself has warned us not to take freedom for granted, not to take chances with our own future.

New Federal Pension Law Discussion Set Wednesday The public is invited to hear a discussion of the new federal pen sion law for veterans and their widows and children at a meeting to be held in the Fremont School Auditorium at 8 p.m. Wednesday, February 24, T. D. Case, Klamath County veterans service officer, announced. Shirley T. Brannock. contact rep resentative at the Veterans Ad ministration Domiciliary, Camp White, will describe the new law in detail and answer questions sub mitted from the audience. The- new act, Public Law 86- 211, will award pension to veter ans, widows and children on the basis of need, Case said. Pay ments will be on a graduated scale, depending on individual out side incomes. A person already in receipt of pension on June 30, 19t0, will be given his or her choice as to whether pension is lo be based on the present law or the new one. Pension entitlement arising after June 30 can be based only on the new act. "The new act will make many veterans, unremarried widows and children eligible for the first time Reservists Leave For Shoot Match Two local Army Reserve men left Friday for Fort Lewis, Wash ington, for rifle match competition Saturday and Sunday.

Pastor, Effie Shelby lo pension based on nonservice connected disability or death." Case said. For example, he said, it removes the requirement that a World War II or Korean Condicl veteran must have had a service connected disability in order for his widow or children lo be eligi ble for pension, thus placing them on an equal footing with depen dents of World War I veterans. Some persons will be eligible to higher pension payments than heretofore. Others will qualify for pension for the first time by rea son of higher income ceilings. On March 1 all those presently on the pension rolls will have an important decision to make, Case explains. Each will receive a new income questionnaire which is to he signed and relumed to the Portland VA office if the recipient wishes to receive benefits under the new law after July 1, its ef fective date. Brannock will clarify the dis tinction between these two laws Is it a Bird? Is it a Plane? NO! It's a COMET! Coming Soon! to enable persons receiving pen sion to make the right choice. Once the new act has been select ed, an individual can never return to the benefits of the old one, and a mistake in judgment could result in substantially smaller pension payments for the future. The legislation docs not affect compensation paid to veterans or dependents for service connected disability or death. ra! sans Puklith) public MIVlC ftl ceo 04 ration with Th Advtrtitinf Counefl nd tht Ntwsoapcr Mvortltlni Extcutivtt Allocution..
