A FLASH BACK to the recent Christmas holidays is shown here as Kathi, left,
Lor!, center, and Ron Napier ponder the possible effectiveness of a new gadg
et, the Santa Claus trap. It was set Christmas Eve at the home of their parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Doug Napier, 535 North Laguna Street. Whether the small piece of
red flannel found in the trap's teeth the next morning was for real or not, still it added
to the magic of the early morning festivities. The family recently arrived from Port
land to make their home in Klamath Falls where Doug Napier is employed as engraver
for the Herald and News.
Mrs. Vales has been active in
the Reservation Discussion Group
during the past three years, as
well as giving service as an indi
vidual. She served as vice presi
dent of the group, co-chairman
with Mrs. Leonard Norris ol
Klamath Falls on many projects
with proceeds going lo recreation
or the library fund, sKnsored all
Indian programs lor the benefit of
United Fund, county hospital fund,
and March of Dimes. She helped
design and construct the winning
float in last year's Fourth of
July parade. She was also instru
mental in a sale of pine cones
which benefited the recreation
ing the Boys' Club boxers and
their guests.
Mrs. Yates was born in this
area and has lived here all her
life. She has had eight children.

Five-day Week Observed
by Banks throughout State
'A five-day banking week is now being observed regularly by all
banks in Oregon. The five-day policy is the prevailing practice of
banks in the Western states as well as nationally.
Additional hours of banking service on Fridays or other week
days will be provided by many Oregon banks. Perhaps the main
consideration in establishing a regular five-day week was the wishes
of bank employees. Under present conditions many families with
both husband and wife employed find it impc.;:ible to spend, their
weekends together. Also, a system of staggered days off during the
week has made it difficult to maintain the continuity of service you
should expect. Other conveniences such as bank-by-mail, 24-hour
depositories and speedy bank-from-your-car facilities also enable
five-day banking to suit your needs.
Your bank will appreciate having you discuss with them vct&
special problems resulting from Saturday closing.
