State Forced
Into Business ;
PORTLAND (AP) - The Stat
of Washington does not want to
get into the power business but
may be forced by circumstances,
director Earl Coe of that state's
Department of Conservation and
Development said Friday,
- Coe told the Bonneville Power
Administration Regional Advisory
Council a shortage of firm power
needed by new Industries may
push tlie state into the electrical
game.
Washington is considering a
plan to obtain electrical power In
connection with the operation of
the atomic reactor at Hanford.
The U.S. House of Representa
tives refused to appropriate funds
for such a project, which would
have used the heat generated by
the reactor to power steam plants
producing electricity.
Coe said the state might raise
about half the estimated $92 mil
lion cost via bond issues but still
would need Congressional author
ity and appropriations.

Phone Wire
- -
Damage Low
Contrary to the hue and crv of
malicious conduct on the part of
nunters in Oregon this year, Paci
fic Northwest Bell reports that so
far in 1961 gunshot damage to
telephone wires, cables and other
equipment is at a record low.
'Four years ago we had more
than 150 separate cases of sun-
shot damage in the state," said
Klamath Falls manager, A. B.
Dickerman.
Since then the damage has been
decreasing yearly, until there have
been only about a dozen cases in
1961. And most of these came
before hunting season began.
"We believe that most hunters
are aware that shooting a wire or
cable can be more serious than
the inconvenience to users or the
company's expense in repairing it.
The real danger is that emergency
calls for fire, an ambulance, the
doctor or a policeman won't get
through. Not to mention the vital
national defense communications
that travel via (ho long distance
lines," said Dickerman.

Road Department, It was ex
plained to he Rotary Club here
Friday by Jack Halinoski, county
engineer.
Kalinoski explained that road
department revenues come from:
The 25 bcr cent of gross U S
Forest Service revenues which
accrue to counties, with 75 per
cent of that amount going to roads
and 25 per cent to schools. In
Klamath County, this source ot
revenue lurnisnes aoout i per

A "revolving trust fund" that
brings the remaining 11 per cent.
Most of this revenue comes trom

county court has the power to levy
five mills for highway department

Gen. Walker
Takes Post
WASHINGTON (AP) - Maj.
Gen. Edwin A. Walker, the con
troversial former commander of
the 24th Infantry Division, Is
headed for a staff, job in (' Pa
cific command.
The Asmy in a terse ani .njnce-
mcnt Friday said that Walker
would go to Hawaii next month
to become assistant chief of staff
for operations, .plans and training
in the Pacific command.
Walker was officially admon
ished by the Army in June. He
was relieved of command of the
24th Division in Germany in April
and returned to the United States
recently to await reassignment.
Secretary of Defense Robert S.
McNamara told the Senate armed
services committee in September
that Walker was admonished for
two reasons:
1. Conducting an indoctrination
program that included inflam
matory and derogatory state
ments" about former public offi
cials, including former President
Harry S. Truman.
2. Attempting, through articles
in the division newspapers, to in
fluence the troops' votes in the
1960 congressional elections.

Ph. TU 2 5536
the objective of the court and
the department Is to waive the
levy and depend on sources of
revmiue other than property tax
es.
The engineer called attention to
some of the activities of the de
partment.
Klamath County road improve
ments in the past year have
amounted to approximately tfiOO.-
000. Included were about 20
miles of paving, and the taking
over of 28 additional miles of un-
paved and unimproved roads in
the county system. In addition.
four miles of existing paved high
way were improved under the
program.
In addition to the maintenance
and construction work performed
on county highways, the depart
ment also engages in contract
work for other agencies in the
c o u n ty, including the various
cities, the engineer explained.
Klamath County public road sys
tem embraces some 1,600 miles.
Of this total, about 800 are in the
county road system, and 800 are
known as public roads. While the
county is not required to maintain
the latter group of roads, they do
lie within the jurisdiction of the
county, Kalinoski explained. He
added that a "county road" is one
that is under the jurisdiction of
the county court for administra
tive and operation purposes.
The highway department pro
vides services for other county
agencies, such as the county
parks system, the planning com
mission, and the welfare depart
ment, he said. ,
Internally, the department em
ploys 90 persons on a steady basis,
and that number increases to 104-
105 during the peak employment
in summer months.
Of a total budget of $1,156,000
this year, about $450,000 goes into
Durchase of supplies, locally, he
said.
In recent months, effort is being
made to get the highway depart
ment out of politics entirely, Kal
inoski said. This attempt is being
directed through the activities of
the Roads Advisory Committee, a
group of five interested citizens
of the county. They include Don
Hummel. Fritz Markwardt, Fran
cis Landrum, Jim Kerns Jr., and
Al Cheyne,
The advisory group has devised
"formula of eligibility" to deter
mine minimum requirements that
must be met before any road or
piece of road is admitted to the
county highway system. This de
vice has removed consideration of
roads on a "convenience" basis,
or pressure basis, and put admit
tance strictly on a public need
basis, he explained.
Kalinoski said that the depart
ment is operated strictly under a
cost accounting system that is a
model" in the state. The sys
tem will be explained fully at a
meeting of the Association of Ore
gon Counties in November.

Jealous Husband
o
Upsets Young Wife
By ANN LANDERS
Dear Ann Landers: I'm 17,
have been married 14 months
and have a small baby. My
husband is 19
and he doesn't
act anything like
he did when we
were dating. I
can't believe he's
the same guy.
He's so jealous
of me I feel
like a prisoner. When he's home
he insists on answering the tele
phone. If it's a wrong number
he accuses me of having a boy
friend.
Last night he went through my
picture album and tore up ev
ery picture he could find of me
with someone else. Some were
group pictures of kids I went
to school with.
After that display of rotten
temper I decided I wasn't going
to take any more of his hate-
fulness. I phoned my father and
asked him to come for me and
the baby. I want to get a di
voice and start over, what is
your advice? DELTA GIRL
Dear Girl: Start what over
another hideous mess?
Here you are at 17, married
to a hot-tempered adolescent,
the mother of a child, and at
ready eyeing the divorce court
as the big magic which will
solve all your problems. It won't.
It would only free you to make
another horrible mistake.
You need time to grow up
and so does that active volcano
who calls himself a husband. My
advice Is to stay apart for
few weeks then see a marriage
counselor or a clergyman togeth.
er for advice on how to make
a success of your marriage.
Dear Ann Landers: My husband
and I run a small store. We've
been in business almost 10 years
and have done well. We are
open four evenings a week and
the hours are wearing, but we
have an excellent inventory, a
healthy bank account and a
wonderful trade. The trouble is
we are both dead tired because
we've never had a vacation.

record amounts were reported in
the Snake River area in the Pa

Most other areas of the West,
except California, reported near

Aroie refuses tell him you're go

Dear Ann Landers: Our sister
has always been a strong indi
vidualist. She has ridiculed con
ventionality all of her life and
has brought up her daughters
the same way.
Please understand that we are
not sitting in judgment. All we
want' is advice on a pressing
problem. This sister's oldest
daughter (now 18) is pregnant
with her second out-of-wedlock
child in two years. There is no
father in sight. The mother has
invited us to a baby shower
next week. She said "Lydia is
her sixth month and she
needs clothing for the baby."
Our husbands say a baby show

mockery and we should not go.
What do you say? SISTERS
Dear Sisters: A baby shower
is designed to honor a girl who
is anticipating a happy event.
In this case I see nothing to
celebrate nor anyone to be hon
ored. Send a gift of clothing for
the baby but stay home.

The memory of the pilot who
started out for the West Coast of
the United States and landed in
Ireland in the 1930s was revived
the other night when the pilot of
North Central Airlines ship
scheduled to land at Reed City
put down at Big Rapids.
North Central Flight No. 847.
bound from Chicago to Sault Ste.

It landed instead at Big Rapids,
13 miles away.
Various sources gave this story:
The pilot taxied up to the Big!
Rapids terminal and cut the en
gines, but no ramp awaited and
the terminal was dark.
The pilot went to a pay phone
and called Reed City.
Taxis took the passengers to
Reed City and power equipment
was rushed to Big Rapids to start
the plane, which then flew to
Reed City and took off five hours!
