He brought Col. Rupert C Welch. Kingsley Field command ing officer, as a guest to the lunch son. Welch was subjected to ques- tioning by chamber members and newsmen. Bocchi said the new date for. the community celebration was Oct. 21. Welch explained that an other setback in construction of the runways was responsible. He expects the return of the squad ron, now quartered at McChord AFB, by Oct. 16. ' Members of the 322nd will be participating Oct. 14 in a defen sive maneuver, "Operation Sky Shield," which would prevent their return for at least two days. Welch said at present, 6,300 feet of the eventual 9,700 feet of rc surfaced runway was complete. . Commercial F-27s are already I returning, Welch said; but the F-101 fighters require more run way than now exists. A query from the floor asked if the resurfaced strip would be able to accommodate the giant jet passenger planes, Boeing 707. In reply. Col. Welch said the strip was rated for 38,000 pounds ot wheel load; he said he was not sure what the weight of the 707 was. ' ' Welch also said "as things stand now, the McChord fliers will not be deployed in Klamath Fails" during their resurfacing, scneo uled soon after the Kingsley fliers' depart. Kent asked Chamber Manager! George Callison to comment on the recreational survey conducted by the Klamath County Planning Commission.

The executive, committee of the freight rate-making body rejected the request Wednesday. Wheat growers asked the rates be cut I from 82 to 70 cents per 100 pounds on threshed wheat. The decision Is not binding on member railroads, a spokesman saia. At a nuhlic hearinc Tuesday sponsors said the reduction was necessary to allow Midwest wheat growers to compete In the foreign marKet. tions' suggestions regarding estab lishing recreational areas. Overnight camping, close to Klamath Falls, Callison said, was the most frequently mentioned problem the groups wished to have solved. One of the cham ber's recommendations asked that the area immediately across the street from Moore Park be con verted to this purpose. Other needs mentioned by the groups and incorporated in a plan ning commission map were boat ramps and docks, public shooting grounds, winter sports areas, stream fishing, development of scenic and historical interest sites. Callison said (he group raised these three questions which will be worked over at subsequent meet ings: Were there gaps in the gen eral catagories mentioned by the group; what priority were the var ious projects to receive; and where does the money come from? Callison said a wealth of infor mation exists through use of the representative organizations by the planning commission. He also said it was the belief of the chamber, and the group, that recreation in Klamath County has limitless pos sibilities. He commented that some of the projects suggested at Tuesday night s meeting would be possible in one to five years. President Kent briefly reviewed the chamber's progress through the year and lauded Callison, who was hired as manager of the lo cal, group at the beginning ol Kent's term of office. He announced that sale of tick ets to the annual meeting was being handled through board -ol directors members and asked that money and unused tickets be turned In to the chamber by Moh day.

She , said one constitutional, amendment and two legislative measures will be advanced. The group wants the const! tution amended to prohibit the legislature from changing a measure initiated and approved by the people without submitting the change to a people s vote. It will back a law providing a $1,000 fine and removal from office for any Oregon official changing the time to anything but standard. - It also will seek a law defin ing emergencies so the legislature could not declare an emergency to put daylight time into effect before a vote of the people. Mrs. Cook said this will en force a 1952 law, passed by the people, which declared standard tune to be official for the state and Its subdivisions. , The 1961 legislature last spring allowed five counties around Port land to change to daylight time. As a result the state had two time areas during the summer. Mrs. Cook said her group expects the aid of the state Grange in seeking to prevent this in the future. Air Games Hits Fans WASHINGTON (AP) - The im pact of an air defense exercise on Saturday, Oct. 14, may be greatest on athletes and sports fans. The college football season will be at a height thai day when, for 12 hours, all civilian aircraft and all nonparticipating m il I, t a r y planes will be grounded. The exercise, conducted by the North American Air Defense Com mand, will involve about 2,000 military planes In a simulated at tack on the North American con tinent. On that Saturday more than 40 major intersectional games, some of them important homecoming contests and some involving large travel distances, are scheduled.

Bill Planned For Session PORTLAND (AP) - If Gov. Mark O. Hatfield should call a special legislative session, State Sen. Vernon Cook, D-Gresham says he will introduce a bill to change the representation among Multnomah County legislative sub- districts. Hatfield has said he will call the special session in order to put the Daylight Saving Time issue on the May, 1962, ballot, if he can get agreement that the! session will confine itself to that subject. Cook said the apportionment of representatives among Mult nomah County's five subdistricts is particularly unfair to East County, the subdistrict in which he lives. ' roe allocation ot more rep resentatives to Multnomah Coun ty by the Supreme Court empha sizes this need for reallocation! and legislative action," Cook said Not Gmd Ef By ANN LANDERS I Dear Ann Landers: I've had so much free advice from relatives that my head is swimming. Now I'd like your opinion because I know y ou ' 1 1 give it to me straight. I'm 38, once divorced, once widowed. I've worked hard all my life and I can't say that either marriage was a good one. Now I've met a man who is 78 and wants to marry me. He was mar ried to the same woman for 52 years and now that she's gone he is lonely. He has no close rela tives. He is very well-fixed financial ly and has offered to sign every thing over to me the day we mar ry. I know I could make him happy. He expects only compan-ship. I m tired of working and fight ing ofi men who have everything in mind except marriage. What do you say? THROUGH THE MILL Dear Mill: If you marry this man the announcement should ap pear in the financial section, not on the society page. You could wind up paying dear ly for the security which you con sider so precious. A husband with one foot in the grave and the oth er foot on a banana peel could be looking for a nurse for the next 10 or 15 years. Does the role appeal to you? Consider this possibility and then make your decision. Dear Ann Landers: My hus band's mother has been keeping our baby. Both my husband and I work. Last night she toid us that we'd better start to look around for someone else because she doesn't feel she should take care of our child while we spend mon ey in the taverns. She said if we had to pay someone, maybe we would drink less. We do go out once in a while but we don't drink that much. We are not drunks as she is making us out to be. This whole accusation is very unfair. I think she is just trying to get out of taking care of the baby because she is tired of being tied down. She has always said she loves the baby but it sure doesn't sound like it. What do you think?-DISGUSTED Dear Disgusted: It sounds as if your husband's mother finally got up the nerve to insist that you two good-time Charlies accept your pa rental responsibilities. Your suggestion that she Is "try ing lo get out of something" Is Interesting, Indeed. Hfr big mis take was getting Into it. Dear Ann Landers: I'm engaged to a lovely girl who is a rotten brjiant student and seems very sensible until she gets behind the wheel of a car. Then her in telligence goes down to zero. How she ever got a driver's license I will never understand. Her father refuses to let her have the family car because she has smashed It up three times. She begs to borrow my car on Sat urday afternoons and I always weaken and say yes. She has had a few minor scrapes but nothing serious. She admits she's a poor driver but insists the only way to get bet. ter is to practice. She says I lack confidence in her, which is no lie. What's the answer? DUTCH Dear Dutch: She needs more than practice. She needs lessons. Insist that she enroll in a driving school and don't let her have your car until she gets a diploma. Her life is at stake, as well as the safety of innocent people. To learn the booby-traps of teen age drinking, write for Ann Lan ders' booklet, "Teenage Drink ing," enclosing with your requestl 20 cents in coin and a long, self- addressed, stamped envelope. Ann Landers will be glad to help you with your problems.
