HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls. Ore. Thursday. Marc 10. lflfiO PAGE 9 4-H Clubs Offer More Oregon 4-H clubs are cftand Ing cducalional offerings to youth at a taster pace as population shifts from (arm to suburbs, says Burton Itutton. state 4-H extension Reader from Oregon State College. Once looked on as an organiza tion strictly lor farm youngsters. t.ie 4-ri work carried on today of fers many of the same opportune ;ties to boys and girls living in ;cities as it does to youths in rural ; areas, he noted. ' Regardless of where they live. ;girls continue to prepare them selves tor homemaking as enroll- ment in clothing, food prepara tion and knitting projects increas es. Child care projects, which in clude more than babysitting, are also becoming more popular, ac cording to Lois Redman, state 4-H agent. Mrs. Roberta Frasier, OSC family life specialist, is rewriting child care bulletins and new of ferings aimed at Understanding boys and girls will be available in Ml. Membership in livestock clubs. the most popular agricultural pro ect, has tripled in the last 15 years. Cal Monroe, state 4-H agent, notes that more non-farm youths are taking part in livestock pro grams through horse, sheep, rab bit, dairy goat and dog projects. However, Monroe also notes that more farm boys and girls are rais ing dairy beef, sheep and swine than ever before in the history of Oregon 4-H work. The 4-H horse project has grown from 30 members 15 years ago to today's total of 2.30O youngsters in all Oregon counties. Twice as many girls belong to horse clubs as boys, Monroe says. A new livstock advancement pro gram recently made available to Oregon 4-H youths provides great er incentive to stay with their projects and make a more com- prenensive stuay oi animal nils bandry. A total of 32.000 boys and girls Is now enrolled in Oregon 4-H Clubs, Hutton reported. How is the 4-H program chang Ing to meet youth's needs? More career exploration programs for older youths, development of new projects, and more opportunities for government studies, says the 4-H state leader. Hutton notes a decided trend toward study and participation by 4-H in government. A study pro gram in state government was started three years ago in Salem, called "Know Your State Govern ment." Several counties have fol lowed this example with "Know Your County Government" confer ences. Parents and Oregon's 5.300 4-H volunteer adult leaders will also be given more attention this year. Huth Brasher, 4-H agent in charge of training, says that subject mat ter training has already been giv en in foods, clothing and child care. Hutton emphasized that the 4-H program encourages "long-term" learning. Youths may work sev eral months to complete a pro ject before they are ready to ad vance to more difficult stages of it, he explained. Funds Slated For Hospital . Funds derived from the all-reservation show, the colorful, beau tifully costumed, music and dance review, "Indian Days to Modern Ways," are to be placed in es crow for the benefit of the pro posed new hospital in Klamath Falls. The show is scheduled for Friday, March 11, at 8 p.m. in the Fremont School Auditorium. Hiroto Zakoji, director of the educational program on the reser vation at Chiloquin, said the spon sors, the newly formed Reserva tion Discussion Group, will turn the entire show proceeds over, for use as needed when the building plans are completed. The all-Indian cast of 35 adults and children in authentic tribal costumes has been in rehearsal for several weeks. The premiere in Chiloquin drew an enthusiastic large audience. Proceeds from the show there, which totaled more than $100, went to the March of Dimes. The check was presented recently to Melvin Loy, drive chairman for Klamath County. Many of the participants in the show are tribal descendants of men and women and some chief tains of the tribes which were in this part of Oregon long before the white man came. The script was written and prop erties and background made by members of the cast. A pre-ticket sale isunder way and tickets may also be purchased at the door for $1 for adults, 50 cents for all students. ! A jeeeption at the YMCA for members of the cast, their friends, and interested Klamath Falls resi dents is planned following the show. STARTS CAMPAIGN MEXICO CITY (UPI) - Arch bishop Miguel D. Miranda, Ro man Catholic primate of Mexico, tfiis started campaign against communism, superstition, (ree rnasonry and Impiety," Recreational Facilities Viewed By KF Officials Greater Klamath Falls officials got a look Tuesday night at a long-term master plan of recre ation facilities and they broke ground for a cooperative commit tee to take a closer look at it. Representatives from the Wiard Park board, the county court, the city council, the county and city planning commissions, the city park and recreation department and city and county schools were present. They heard Dr. Lynn Rodney outline a 37-page report he and the University Bureau of Munici pal Research developed. Some of the report's suggestions were startling, but Dr. Rodney repeatedly stressed the long-term nature of the plan. Fuller I'se He urged both the city and the county to make community use of school facilities and grounds for recreation and adult education. He said school boards and the city council or county court might even finance schools jointly for their Toastmistresses Hold Debate A challenging debate topic, "Men Have Contributed More to World Progress than Women," was discussed by the all-female Ewauna Toastmistress Club at its last meeting. Debaters were Margaret Davies and Rowena McDonald. Addie Boothby was topicmistrcss for the evening. Donna Journeay was toastmistress, and Lois Mc Kendree offered invocation. Nor ma Hansen, as parliamentarian, spoke on, "It's In the Book." Kwauna Toastmistress Club meets every second and fourth Monday at 7:30 in the Willard Ho tel. Guests are welcome. fuller use by people of all aces. He suggested the area otfght to develop small parks and play grounds, with plenty of open space and play facilities attractively landscaped, in all residential neigh borhoods. He further suggested larger ' combined neighborhood" parks and playfields within a mile of all residential areas, big recrea tion parks such as Moore Park, lor camping, picnicking and na ture study, and a variety of spe cial facilities, such as golf courses, small boat landings, skating rinks, tennis courts and others. He advocates a centrally locat ed community center open all day and evenings to groups, in cluding teenagers, and a separate center for the aging. Here are some of the specific suggestions made by Dr. Rodney: 1. A central neighborhood park on the open land near Lake Kwauna, perhaps where lumber is stored now by Modoc Lumber Company. This would be a step toward opening the lake for recre ation and as a tourist attraction The lake frontage could be de veloped while the new Southshore freeway is under construction. 2. A neighborhood playground should be developed in the Fre mont area on the old high school site. Fremont School should be utilized as a recreation facility. Richmond playlot should be im proved and landscaped. 3. Conger Park should be de veloped and landscaped as a neigh borhood park. Lookout playlot needs landscaping, play equip ment, turf and fencing. 4. Lucile O'Neill School site should be planned for school and neighborhood use. Trailer Park should then be sold. Kiwanis Park should be landscaped and play fa cilities rearranged. 5. The property south of the mu nicipal swim pool and adjacent to the pool driveway should be ac quired for development as a "gold en age" center tor the aging. Stukel Park should be landscaped and redesigned for fuller use, 6. Roosevelt School ought to be used tor a neighborhood rocrea tion area. Henderson Park should get additional landscaping and equipment for small children. Pon derosa School might be turned into a community-school park. Kit Car son Poik couid be a playtield park. 7. If an urban renewal program is undertaken in the industrial Spring Street neighborhood, part of the site should be set aside for public use perhaps it couid house a civic center. 8. Land acquired in the Eldo rado neighborhood for a school should be developed both for school and neighborhood recreation use. 9. The industrial Shippington neighborhood ought to make use of Pelican School and its grounds for recreation. 10. The proposed junior high school in the Biehn area should likewise be planned for community use. 11. Open land area in Maple Park should be bought for a school park with play facilities. River side School should be utilized. 12. Fairhaven School should like wise be used. More land for a 'park shoujd be acquire!! next to the school. 13. Stearns School and its big open area is an ideal site for joint use. So is Altamont Junior High School and Peterson Ele mentary. More land should be ac quired near Peterson for a region al park. 14. The Ferguson and Pine Grove neighborhoods should be developed as school-community centers. More properly should be acquired near Shasta School for a school-park. 15. A playground is needed in the South Shasta neighborhood, and land bought for a school in the North Shasta area should be developed for joint use. Suggestions Dr. Rodney also offered the fol lowing suggestions: 1. Suhdividcrs should be re quired to donate land, or money in lieu of it, for park and recre ation development when new sub divisions are developed. 2. At least one indoor-outdoor swimming pool is needed prefer ably at a junior or senior high school. 3. A site for an 18-hole golf course is needed that could be developed gradually. 4. A public shooting area Is needed between Lake EwaiAa and Highway 97. 5. A marina, boat launching fa cilities and a small boat basin needs to be built along with a scenic lakcfront park on land fac ing Klamath Lake west of Front Street. 6. A park, perhaps a civic mall, is imperative just east of the busi ness district, if the city plans to extend the business district that way. 7. A park should be provided above Loma Linda Drive to en hance the panoramic view of the city possible there. 8. The present Oregon Techni cal Institute site could be put to good use as a school camp, sum mer camp or other recreational or educational facility. 9. A small "pitch and putt" goll course would he popular and pos slble at the junction of Route 97 and South Riverside Street. Dr. Rodney, in addition, called for more development of Moore Park, with overnight camping fa cilities, belter equipment at the ice rink, a scenic drive between the park and Route 97, hiking and riding trails, a children's museum ,id zoo, a building for various club and organization meetings, a scenic drive between the lake and the park, more space for boating, and possibly a public beach it the algae problem is beaten. The olcials present decided the city and county planning commis sions meeting jointly should coor dinate formation of a committee with representation from all the agencies involved. Each agency, such as each school district, Wiard Park board, the city council and the county court, probably will have one vole. 1 ''' ,! 1, 2z WW t" ' it Is i Get more tor your building dollars with STRONGBARN GALVANIZED STEEL ROOFING AND SIDING 36 Stronger than ordinary grades.
