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.

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.
