Well. 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.

commemorating ils hall-century
mark this Saturday with a special
reunion I old students of the
school.
Il was not the lirsl school in
Klamalh Falls.
it was the first school built that
is still in use.
LOOKING HACK over Ihe rec
ords, one tuids that the first school
in the Klamalh country was es
tablished in Ihe lall of 1870
Linkville was an inlanl town,
just three years old.
George Nurse had jusl (unshed
building a wooden bridge across
Link River replacing Ihe terry line
which he had run for three e.ns
"Uncle George" Nurse's slore
was still the local point ol this
young community, located on the
west side of the new bndee
A few more buildings had been
added, including a saloon tor
James Barclay, a blacksmith shop
for a Mr. Coullos. a carpenter's
shop by Nelson Stevenson and one
of Ihe lirsl residences, tins for
James Barclay
Two cabins were in the building
process on Ihe west side ol Link
River. These were being built (or
Pave Durvall and another party.
This was the beginning of West
Klamath Falls
- Into Ibis community in Ihe lall
of 1870 came the need lor a
school.

Ron voyage Kilts represent a
problem to many persons, both
travelers and well-wishers.
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.
American I,'press oilers several
appropriate gilts of its own for
sale: prepaid 'evening and night
club tours in Paris, Home, Ma
drid. Vienna or London, dinner
tickets to any of a number of fa
mous restaurants,
And, of course, one of the most
welcome gills for any traveler is
the simplest money.

GAHDKN CTTV, Kan. (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.
