o 0 BOYS TOWN CHOIR Now on their annual national tour, the famous Boys Town Choir will perform in Klamath Falls at 8 p.m. Oct. 16 at Mills School Auditor, ium. A wide variety of music ranging from liturgical viSI With 902 students registered at Oregon Technical Institute on Monday, the final day of registra tion, the faculty and staff settled into the harness for the long stea dy pull. Many of the faculty will carry a 25 per cent increase in student-contact hours over last year. This is the picture in higher education throughout Oregon and the United Slates, however, and we are hearing only sighs, no griping. Higher education traditionally has three areas of emphasis. The first and most important is teach ing students on the various cam puses. The second is the spread ing of these course offerings to all comers of the state through gen eral extension. Research is the third phase and Oregon Tech has both a specific responsibility and a specific opportunity in this area because of the nature of its edu cational programs and its types of laboratory facilities. Leroy Fisk has been studying the liver fluke in the Klamath Basin. Approximately 75 per cent of the livers of cattle raised in the marshy areas of the Klamath Basin are rendered inedible by the liver fluke. It is hoped that this embryological study will lead to some type of control. Identi fication of these species is also part of the project and Leroy has already located 17 different spe cies during two summers' work. Bill Bradford is working with a group from OSU on cell counts and electrophoretic patterns of fish blood. The project will con tribute to a knowledge of the mi gration of steel head and trout. The electrophoretic unit, the elec ' tronic blood cell counter, and the microhematocrit readers from the medical tech laboratories are being used for ths phase of the work. Ray Garrison is ' assembling equipment (or a research project in the vacuum drying of lumber. Charles Jacobi has completed a preliminary research project in latitude in extremity radiography. He and Earl Kurtz are presently launching into another project in the same field. Earl will handle the mathematical computations. Dean R. W. Bingham spent Sept. 29 and 30 attending a meet ing of the Technical Institute Evaluation Committee of the American Society for Engineer ing Education in Louisville. Ky. The National Science Foundation Supported and Sponsored Commit tee will spend the next year devel oping minimum educational stan dards for accreditation of Tech nical Institutes by the Engineer irg Council for Professional De velopment. Dr. Bingham is a member of the national commit tee. We have learned of an innova tion in the teaching of technical spelling in the English depart met. Each curricular area at the technical institute level has its FLY TO THE SO. OREGON cAYlAJION INC. o TU i - THE OWL HOOTS own special technical vocabulary. Phil Govedare, in the English de partment, is gathering lists of technical words from each curri cular area and putting them on tapes in series of 25 word exer cises. Each contains the pronunci ation of each word followed by its correct spelling and ending with a quiz. Students may check out the tapes for individual study. Wally Uerlings, Franell Spcn cer. and Hal Rotrock Were visited Uiis week by three auto-body grad uates of the early 1950s. Each is either an owner or in a mana gerial position. Mrs. Furby attended a meeting of the American Dental Assistants Association at Portland on Thurs day, where she assisted in giving certification exams. She is a state officer of the association. Earl Buck, Hal Rotrock, and Russell Madsen from the automo tive faculty attended , a meeting of the Society of Automotive En gineers in Portland recently. Tek tronix furnished the program and demonstrated a cathode-ray tube used in an oscilloscope which sensitive enough to measure one millimicro second one thou sandth of one millionth of a sec ond. Paul Meier, who is the United Fund chairman for education in the county, announced that his div-l ision is almost at the 100 per cent mark. Incidentally, 135 people on the Oretech's staff contributed $2,628. 120 per cent of the $2,183 goal. The faculty contributed 100 per cent. This writer had occasion the other day to take a picture of a surveying class project. It was interesting to watch the class with their instructors. Fred Foulon and Bob Ford, making a hydrographic survey in Klamath Lake, adjacent to the A. V. McVey property on Lakeshore Drive. Two crews were on an established base line on the shore and the third crew was in a boat. Each of the three crews had a two-way radio. The boat crew gave a count down at the exact second of a depth sounding and the crews on the shore took readings of the position at exactly the same time.

Hoffa Talks AFL Return NEW YORK (API Teamsters Union President James R. Holfa said today his 1.7 million-member union would be willing under cer tain stipulated terms" to return to the AFL-CIO, from which it was expelled in 1957. Hoffa, addressing a national convention of the Transport Work ers Union, did not spell out the terms but commented that a re turn would provide no benefits for the Teamsters and would cost them $4 million a year. The Teamsters' willingness to return, he said, would be "only for the sake of unity" and a con certed light against legislation harmful to labor. The Teamsters were expelled on grounds of corruption. Holfa brushed 'aside mention of AFL-CIO President George Meany, who has said he would oppose return of the Teamsters as long as they are headed by Hoffa. Meany is just a hired hand a puppet." Hoffa said, "he doesn't1 speak for labor." MOTOR VEHICLES INCREASE WASHINGTON (UPD-Slightly more than 76 million motor ve hicles w ill be on U. S. streets and highways by the end of this year, according to the Bureau of Pub lic Roads. This is 2.1 million more than last year. FRANCISCO It takes only 2 HOURS BY CHARTER I Rain Eases Fire Threat By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Rain showers eased forest fire danger in Western Oregon today but Central and Eastern Oregon torests remained crackling dry, Many Western Oregon areas closed to deer hunters earlier in the week, were reopened. Among these were all Georgia-Pacific Corp. lands west of the Cascades, and Lane County holdings of Weyerhaeuser, Willamette Valley Lumber and Giustina Lumber companies. Giustina added a proviso: Hunt ers may not build warming fires in its holdings. Those fires are causing great concern in all timbered areas. An estimated 100,000 privately owned acres in Central and Eastern Ore gon are closed to deer hunters, part at least because of the fire hazard. Clarence Edginglon, federal For est Service fire control officer, said hunters from Western Oregon have been especially careless with fire when they cross the moun tains. He said he was fearful that moist weather in the west1 would make the situation even worse this weekend, by lessening awareness of the dangerous con dition of Eastern Oregon forests, So far this deer season there have been 80 hunter-caused fires in federal forests, he said. In addi tion, 150 camp and warming fires were found unextinguished. Many of these, he said, had been damp ened or covered with earth but the job had been so poorly done that fire remained. In Deschutes National Forest eight fire citations have been is sued for hunters all of them from west of the Cascades, Edgington said. Buck deer have been hard to get in the crackling dryness ol forests and brushy areas and there was little hope of improve ment east of the Cascades. Hunt ers holding unit permits will be able to take does starting Satur day and they are looking for bet ter success. This morning there were only a few small fires reported in the state's forests.

Dependable Prescriptions -Sensibly Priced Free Delivery In Klamath Falls on Drugs, Prescriptions, Cosmetics rVe Give Gold am HfoH Mr T-jr Proej Ne-is T "X. J OAAAAEMTS by GEORGE T. CALLISON Manager KLAMATH COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE If there is one salient point which can be taken fom the talk William J. Bird delivered before the annual meeting of the cham ber of commerce Wednesday eve ning it is that in everything we do as an individual, an oganiza tion or a community we should strive (or excellence. II, in any one of the above categories we honestly appraised our efforts, we would find in almost all instances. we would fall far short of the excellence we should be striving! lor. To put it bluntly, we goof off. As individuals we put in half a work day and can hardly wait to get home to complain about the terrible day we have had. As members of organizations, too many of us are far too prone to let the othe fellow do it. The same is true of far too many communities, in which the citi zens which should be grasping the leadership and getting the job done on the local level are leaving it for some higher governmental authority someone else to do. And, as Bird pointed out, the competition we will face in the years ahead, on the personal, or ganizational, community and ideological level, won't permit anything less than excellence, if we are to survive. In any competitive situation, one of the best methods of preparation for a contest is to learn all you possibly can about your competi tor. .Certainly this could not be truer than in the life or death struggle between the forces of freedom and those of communism. To this end, the chamber will make available in the near future a new program for group study and discussion to be known as Freedom vs. Communism Eco nomic Survival. Like the very popular economic discussion I groups on the Free Enterprise! System and the Action Course in Practical Politics, this new pro- gram, to be offered in cooperation with the United States Chamber of Commerce, will see groups of from 12 to 20, under a discussion leader, giving full and serious con Colavito Cop Suspended - MONROE, Mich. (AP) A Mon roe County sheriff s deputy was suspended for 15 days for failing to ticket Detroit Tiger slugger Rocky Colavito after he was stopped for speeding. Two deputies stopped Colavito for driving 80 miles an hour Sun day night and let him off with a warning, Sheriff Charles G. Har rington said. Colavito did not comment on the incident. Sheriff Harrington suspended Clyde T. Guthrie. The other depu ty, Ralph Brown, got a depart mental reprimand. No one is going to travel through Monroe County at 80 miles an hour and that includes Rocky Colavito," the sheriff said. Singer, Wife Estranged LOS ANGELES (UPD- Singer Jimmy Rodgers and his wife, Alza Colleen, 24, failed to reconcile their estrangement Tuesday in a pre-trial court hearing. Mrs. Rodgers left Superior Court in tears after she and her 28-ycar-old husband could not settle mari tal difficulties. A judge ordered Rodgers to pay his wife $650 temporary alimony as well as $250 monthly in child support. After separating in April. Mrs. Rodgers filed a divorce petition to end the couple's four-year mar riage and Rodgers filed a cross complaint. e o Bond Stamps "mm sideration to the basic precepts of the two ideologies, and what in dividuals, organizations and com munities must do if the forces of freedom are to be preserved. To date, only sketchy informa tion has been made available about this new discussion pro gram, but wherever it has been explained, everyone has been most enthusiastic to learn more about it and to get the program under way in their own groups or com munities. If the acceptance of the Eco nomic Discussion program and the Action Course in Practical Pol itics among members of the Klam ath County Chamber of Com merce can be taken as any indi cation, the discussion program in r reedom vs. Communism Eco nomic Survival will be a popular and outstanding chamber project. More information about this program will be made available as soon as it is received by the local chamber ottice. Evervone in terested in it, whether chamber member or not, will be given the opportunity to participate in it. And in no other area does it seem more important that we should strive for excellence than in our knowledge of belief in the principals of our free society. Penney's MS MORE K a bib Imagffle!

The new form is printed on bet ter paper in bigger type. It will arrive in December in a revised 1961 instruction book. Here is an example of the dif ference: The first question on the 1961 form will say simply: "1. Wages, salaries, tips, etc., and excess of allowances over business ex penses." On the form for 1960 tlie same line read: "1. Enter all wages, salaries, bonuses, commissions, tips, and other compensation before payroll deductions I including any excess of expense account or similar al lowance paid by your employer over your ordinary and necessary business expenses.
