POET'S CORNER
KI.AMATH COUNTY
tn that great state of Oregon
Down in the southern part
There is a county called Klamath
Dear to the nativeVheart.
The climate is quite healthful
With sunshine most every day.
Summer is a happy time
You'll hear the people say.
In summer there is boating;
Or fishing on the lake.
Often you find a neighbor
In his backyard cooking steak.
Young folks enjoy the snow
While skiing in the hills.
There's skating near the lake,
No one cares much for frills.
Many like this rugged life
As they hunt deer in the fall.
Then when the ducks fly over
head :
This thrill's enjoyed by all.
Yes, down in Klamath County
Folks arc the friendly kind.
So drop in and visit them.
I'm sure no one will mind.

YOUTH OF TODAY .
So much has been written
About our youth of today;
Regarding what is wrong
With life in their modern way.
So think back to the time
When you folks were young.
And all those silly tunes
That most of you sung.
You thought your life modern.
And progressive you were.
Even then all the late fads;
If undertaken caused a stir.
For girls started smoking.
And cut off their hair.
While a boy without a car,
W,u something quite rare.
So the youth of today
With his old junk heaps
Just follows Dad's footsteps
With the company he keeps.
We help mold their lives;
So it's up to all of us
To try and guide them right,
And not make so much fuss.
Jennie Charles,
1749 Menlo Way
END OF THE TRAIL
Just pause for a moment and
think
As you near the end of the trail
Have you made your life worth
while?
Are you sure that you didn't fail?
When the chips were stacked
against you,
And nothing seemed to come your
wav;
Did you give up and say I can't
do it
Or did you say I'll win today?
There may be still time to reconsider.
Time to do all the things you
should.
For wlien this lifetime is ended
There's no turning back to be
good.
Jennie Charles.
