The article, prepared by the
chamber staff late last summer,
stresses an abundance of water
and power and an ample amount
of reasonably-prftcd land, suitable
for industrial development. Illus
trations include aerial photographs
of the cit and of the new Johns-
Manville plant, ujm photographs
of potato harvesting, Copco's new
Big Beed Dam and Crater Lake.
There is also a rrfap of the area,
showing potential and existing in

often-used regional map showing
Klamath Falls as the hub of the
"golden opportunity semi - earclo"
for manufacturing and distribution
being almost equidistant from

No one expects to hear the

a most Important adjunct to the

Originally, 37 persons business
men, teachers, employers, em
ployes, farmers, clerks signed
up for the course in the me
chanics of politics. They were told
they would learn how a political
party operates, from the precinct
to the national level.
When the time came to form
classes, the number of registrants
had grown from 37 to 62. After
nine weeks, 54 persons had com
plcfiid the course and attendance
record averaged 90 to 92 per cent.
Classes were divided into four
groups, chosen on the basis of pre
fcrred meeting times. Each group
of about IS persons selected its
own leader. Groups and leaders
were: Tuesday breakfast meeting,
Ross Ragland; Wednesday noon,
Bob Kent; WediOsday night, Fred
Ehlers, and Thursday night, Paul
Cruikshank.
The classes were coordinated by
Ehlers, chamber of commerce di
rector of the State and National
Affairs Committee.
The classes began work, aided
by a series of eight pamphlets cov
ered everything political from
precinct meetings on the tech
nique of doorbell ringing to organ
ization of political conventions.
Fjnphasis, through case studies
ilfd discussion, centered an the
importance of participating in par
ty politics.
Which party riefn't matte. The
course was so strictly nonpartisan
that most students didn't know the
political affiliation of those seated
with him at the same table.
But (he results were remarkable
From Ehler's Thursday night class
came two candidates for office,
Henry Paynter, Democrat for
county clerk, and Ray packman,
Democrat for county commission-
Brackman produced hand-sized
precinct maps of the city and the
suburban area the only maps
known to exist in town. The only
other. rTTinrt map is a ln-foot
mural in the county clerk's oltice(i
.ewt .Nelson ot me assessor s oi
fice traced precinct boundaries on
a small map during his lunch
hours, and conies were reDroduced
by Wilson Title and Abstract Cost-
pany.
Ralph Fuller, a refrigeration
service man, found the only known
copy of the legislation that creat
ed Klamath County from Lake
County in 1882. The libraries, .the
museum, and the courthouse had
no copies, but they asked for cop
ies of Fuller's report.
The last class ior each group
was a question and answer session
with practiflng politicians. Two
classes combined for this Session,
and fired questions at five experts:
.Mayor Lawrence Slater, Sen. Har-
!' Boivin, Councilman Floyd
Wynne, County Commtosioner
Frank -Ganong, and Mrs. Olive
Cornctt, former Republican nation
al committcewoman.
Questions covered subjects like
'How did you get started in poli
tics?" "How much time does 11
Take?" "What is raquircd to win
an election here?" and "How im
portant arc local political organi
zations?" Two students, Mr. and Mrs.
Floyd Reecc, drove from Dorris
every week to attend class. Oth
ers expressed enough interest to
want to go on with a'study of their
own. and volunteer comments sug
gested that a course of the same
type be considered at the high
school.
It was, all agreed, a highly suc
cessful nine weeks.

Winner Of Essay Contest
Tells Education Import
Editor's Note: This essay won
first place in the senior division
of the annual American Legion
Auxiliary contest just ended. Win
ner is Pattl Propst, 16, 1613 Port
land Street, a junior at Klamalh
Union High School. Patti won ' a
cash Pri7f $10 and her essay
has been entered in state compe
tition. The essay, entitled "Why
My Education Is Important to the
Future of America," follows:
By PA,TTI PROPST
We are facing today a future
.----v .Jjy-.v-lt y.ncl UP'.r,;.JL..jpi. pin;
other generation. We have a great
civilization to save or lose; there
fore we must prepare ourselves
to do the utmost to save our civi
lization. This preparation may be
accomplished only through the ed
ucation of each individual to his
fullest.
Education will produce the sci
entists, doctors, lawyers and other
professional people who will ad
vance the culture and civilization
of America. The modern child is
surrounded by mechanical gadgets
not dreamed of a generation ago.
Tli future promises even more
rapid change with the develop
ment of new sources of energy.
We must have the workers to uti
lize and improve these tools and
devices.
All must share in the responsi
bility of continuing our democrat
ic government. Without this privi
lege, the educational standards
would be lowered. In order to
Ifave the benefits of democracy,
the people must know and under
stand their right to vote and the
principles for which they are vot
ing. Our education should be aimed
at producing individuals who will
be able to maintain a self-governed
state because they arc
themselves self - governed, self
controlled and self - reliant.
Through their effort and ingenuity
they manipulate the environment
and recreate the world in every
succeeding generation. Thomas
Jefferson said: "Educate and in
form the mass of the people. They
are the only sure reliance for the
Doort -Open
12:45 P.M.
preservation of our liberty."
The love of the beautiful and
the desire to haw a part in Cre
ating it must be shared by the
many instead of a chosen well-
educated few. This love and de
sire may be instilled in children
by encouragement to learn and
develop their latent possibilities
Today the aim of education is to
enable each individual child to
make the best use of ail his abil
ities and to acquire the skills
needed in daily life to become a
useful, active,- contributing mem-
her nf the rnmmunitv.
I lie cnua oi today is surround
ed by many "pushbutton" gadgets
and mechanical aids but still he
must be tau'ht to think. To be
caught up into the world of
thought and to be able to think
clearly through any situation Is to
be truly educated.
My personal education is Impor
tant because it is my desire to
develop my skills and capacities
to make me a more competent
citizen of my community and my
country. Children are the ones
who will decide and make the fu
turc of America. As a pediatrician
I hope to be able to improve the
minds and bodies of a certain per
centage of the children of the
United States. So our country will
not become a nation of weaklings,
both physically and mentally, peo
ple arc desperately needed to work
in this field I have chosen. I hope
that my contribution will aid in
bettering our nation.
