April one has rolled around asain and it is time lor the month ly report on what last April looked and loll like. So here is the dope straight from the little black hook: April I. 1M5II was cloudy :n the morning but cleared up hy noon It was warm and plca'-anl. I drove to Adin for a meeMne, and noted a horde ol ;.'eese around Tulelake and quite a lew deer on the road around Perez. The temperature ran from 71 lo Wi. The next six days were nice. Boh Norus and George IMcnmre and I drove to Portland via the Santiam and found it a lovely trip on the sixth. II was nice the Inl awing day for the return trip. The temperatures lor this period hung around a high ol 70 or a little more and lows around 3D. It continued nice. On April ninth I mowed the lawn for the first time. The following few days the temperature dropped lo the mid 60's but it stayed clear and plea sant. 1 noted a band of some 2111)0 honkers in a field up on the west side of the lake. On April 13 1 took a tour of the Sycan area with (leorgc W'ardell and John Vo jfel. It was like summer with a lot of mud along the road. The temperature that day was 59 and 1. The next day, the l.llh, started out nice but turned raw and cold by allernoon. 1 loll the lawn sprinkers on and Hie lawn was well coaled with ice that night. The next day wits nice and crisp. I went lo Lake ol I lie W oods in the morning tor pictures and drove over the slate line road that alter noon. Rafts of pintails, specks, snows and some honkers. It slajed crisp and nice for Ihe next lew days. Drove around (he west side ol the lake on Ihe Hlth. 'Somo mud but a pretty day. Saw one grouse, four deer and very few ducks. It was 55 and 28 that day. The next day Florence and I went to (,'raler Lake to see Ihe Windup of the wilder snow school for ihe park youngsters. Drove home on a sunny day around the west side again and found il dusly. My, how quickly things can change in this country. April 211 I describe in Ihe hook as a summer day wish a high of 67 and a low of :I7. April 21 had a nice morning Willi a brio! Ihiindcrslorm around two o'clock, clear again by three. A little rain in the downtown area. Toured Squaw I'oinl in Ihe allernoon with Ted Tclline but saw little in the way of wildlife. The next Iwo days were warm and overcast. April 24 was a lovely day with high of 71 and a low of 34. April 25 dawned cloudy and il was raining hard by one o'clock This shortly lapered off to a driz zle that lasted Ihe rest of the day. April 2H, .Sunday, saw rain 0(1 and on all day. Drove all Ihe way round Upper Lake and saw mayho four or live thousand geese in two bauds lecding in a field near Fort Klamath. The high lor tile day was 511, the low 35. The next three days were cloudy but warm, it spitted a little rain on the 30th. On the whole it was a good month. The gardens grew like mad, the squirrels came out and everyone seemed lo have a prclly good time. that time covered much of what is Lake 'County today. Yet, a school was needed for ihe glowing juvenile population, and these pioneering individuals ol out hi organize one. They ap pealed lirst to Ihe county nflicials 'then Jackson County), but re ceived no assistance. So, they raised enough money lo rent a building and lure a teacher. They managed to get a man by the name of Nail lo teach the lirst group and the lirst school in Klam ath Country opened in the lall of I!I70. Alter it had been conducted for three months, notice was received that the county would give some aid, and Hie Linkville school was ollicially organized by the court. Mrs. Chaiincey Nye became tile teacher lor the second term. THE Ml II DIM. apparently con lintied in use lor a lew years as Ihe school. It was located appioxi mately where Main and Ninth slrecls now in'.crsect and consisted ol a one-room house about 12 hy Hi leet. There was a small porch on Ihe linn!, about five leet square, with posts lo support Hie roof. In 1877, for instance, B. S. Grigs by who was then 14 attended the school and reported there was a class of eight, lie listed them as Marion. John and Klla Hanks, Watt Allied. Ilaltie and Ojiincy Brooks and Jim Pearson. A "Doc Allen was the teacher. LATER, in 11178, Mrs. George Nurse, Ihcn Miss Mary E. Corpc laugh! in Ibis school. The site is the same as that donated for school purposes hy George Nurse in bis original platting. The first county school super intendent was named by the gov ernor in 1KII2. lie was Charles Herbert, Uyar, son ol the Alodnc War Indian agent. He served two years unlil the regular June election in 11184 when he was mcceeded by Ihe lirsl elected superintendent. C. K. Do- Lap. Finally, in 1IIU5, Ihe school build ing had becumc so bad that it was considered a disgrace lo an otherwise thriving (own. People, called a mass meeting to do something about it. Meeting fob lowed meeting and linally a build, ing was constructed for a total cost of $1.5511. This building served up unlil a new public .school was built on this general site in 1U05. THIS ORIGINAL school silo was pre-empted by the demands ol commerce in 11128. II was judged that traflie on Main Street w hazardous and the school board sold Ihe properly. Al that lime, Ihe Central School building was lorn down, Ninth .Street opened up from Main lo Pine, and the Medical Dental Building erected. THIS ENDED ihe inaugural chapter ol the first school site in Klamath County, and Linkville. Riverside School came alon; I'.IIO. and today is slill function- uig as a very uselul school imild ing. Remodeling and alterations have taken place over Ihe span ol mull a century, but otherwise the building is slill in excellent con dition, and faces a busy, uselul active future. Schools By FLOYD L.

Il was not the lirsl school in Klamalh Falls. it was the first school built that is still in use.

Air travelers, flying overseas, are frequently deluded at the air port by jjitts from well-meaninn friends. Often the gilts are im practical and it is tno late to leave them home. The American Kxpress Travel Service has published a number ol suqiicstinns for this Ivne ot occasion. "The first rule in sending bon voyage gifts is to send them in advance so they can be packed before departure or left heme," it slates, 1'irst class passengers going by air have but 06 pounds allowance, economy only 14 pounds. The second rule is to select gilts which are compact, lightweight, necessary or disposable. Here are some items recom mended for women: soil, ea.Mly packable cock; ail bag, a gay silk scarf or small "chapel" veil which can be tucked into lite purse lo use as head covering in churches a lightweight silk or wool stole, a suede jewelry case, slick per luiue or perl tune in aerosol con tainers, nylon string shopping bag a lape measure for checking for eign sizes, hand lotion in packets. Men, according to the travel service, like passport wallets, da cron and cotton shirts, pencil size flashlights. nlon cases lor shaving gear, film for camera fans, ball point pens and ret ills. Favorites with both men and women are the new face-washing and laundering aids which can be cameo in wallet or purse, soap leaves and capsules, compressed disposable washcloths, stick spot remover, sleep shades, small tran sistor radios, paperback books, sturdy plastic luggage tags, guide books.

Certainly Ihe way the reserves are controlled and re stricted around here they get far more benelit Irom them than Ihe duck hunters.

(API - Two younu lelons who gambled Ihal multiple murder would shield thein frojn the consequences of a botched robbery have been con demned to hang. Richard Kuuenc llickock, 28, of Kdserton, Kan., and I'erry Kd ward Smith, Dt, of Las Vegas. cv, were convicted Tuesday of killing lour members ol a promi nent larm family last Nov. 15. Both men adm-ittcd participat ins in Ihe crime. They said they killed so their victims couldn't identify them as the men who looted the home of Herbert W. Clutter near here. Hut llickock and Smith dis agreed as lo who fired shotgun shells into the heads of Clutter, 411; his wife, Bonnie, 45: a son, Kcnyon," 15; and a daughter, Nancy, IB. llickock said Smith was the triggcrman. Smith said he killed two and llickock killed two. Prosecutor Logan Green said it didn't make any difference, lie said Smith and llickock cooper ated in the crime and were equal ly guilty. Alter deliberating less than two hours, the all-male jury agreed. It made no provision lor mercy, thus condemning Hickoek and Smith lo the gallows. Judge Roland Tate will liear motions for a new trial in 10 days. The defendants showed no' emo tion. They smiled and hold whis pered conversations with their guards. At the lime of Ihe murders, llickock and Smith were on pa role from the Kansas penitentiary, where each served time lor lar ceny. They were linked lo Ihe crime by Hickock's former cell male. Convict Kloyd Wells, who once worked lor Clutter, told llickock that Chiller kept a large amount of money in a home safe. Alter the slayings, Wells told authori ties llickock had planned lo rob Clutter. Wells' inlormalion about the money was false. Once An Imaginary Line, Iron Curtain Now Walled BERLIN rPl-The "lion Cur lain," once only a Churchillian phrase dramatizing the ideological barrier separating the Communist and Western worlds, today is a lorlilied line of barbed wire, steel and concrete running Irom the Bal tic lo the Black Sea. Prior to the Hungarian Revolt in lti.iti, there was one break in this, long prison lence walling olf Ihe .satellite peoples from, their European brothers. That was the border between Hungary and Aus tria. The Soviets were powerless at the lime to prevent the flood of relugces streaming into Austria. Within a few weeks, however, Ihe gap was closed. Today all along the hundreds of miles ol what once was an imaginary line flic refugee torrents have dwin dled lo a trickle. Physically, the Iron Curtain, ex- cept in city areas, is a hundred- loot wide strip of land along much of which has been built four barbed wire fences. Three of (hem arc six feet high and the fourth is ten feet high and electrified. Land mines are spoiled between Ihe fences. There are passages Ihrough il, but Ihey are surround ed hy alarm systems and rocket- flare warnings. Watchlowers constructed so that each is in visual contact with all ot her are manned twenty - four hours a day to make certain no desperate citizen from the Eastern area escapes. Apparently the Communists now; envision this as a permanent bar-: rier, lor the wooden fence posts are being replaced by concrete ones, and the wooden towers are being converted to steel. Berlin was a problem for the I Russians almost from the slart. Before the blockade of HMD people moved in large numbers back and lorth across the line between the east and west parts of Ihe cily. Barriers started to go up in that year, but were torn down when the allied airlift forced Ihe Rus sians to give up their efforts to starve out West Berlin. As recently as l'JM, 84.000 East Berliners still worked in the west ern part. In 1052 the Communists got lough again and established special controls regulating the Soviet-West German border. At the same lime Ihey began to harass East Berliners working in Ihe Wesl. Today there are only six si reels in all Berlin where il is possible lo cross from, east to west. And the number of East Berliners still working in West Berlin is down lo approximately 28,000. 7 To Attend Legislature Seven Klamath I'nion Hiah Sehool students will represent the Tri-Hi-V and Hi-V- Clubs of the Klamath County VMCA during the 1.3th annual V Youth and Govern ment Legislature in Salem Friday and Saturday.
