Nine recreation facilities have been completed in western Ore gon's 0 & C counties through this program, begun in 1960.

A similar program, with emphasis on recreation road construction. is underway in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service, which manages about 20 per cent of the 0 & C lands. In another move likely to have far-reaching effects on the timber industries as well as recreation, members of the roads and execu tive commitees recommended that roads built Into Oregon forests with 0 & C funds be built to two lane standards, whenever these roads had reasonable potential for public use as thoroughfares. Darrell Jones, 0 i C Associa tion president, said the counties recognized the growing import ance of recreation to the state and that roads should be multi purpose wherever possible. Ken neth Nielsen, Lane County com missioner and roads committee chairman, pointed out that the cost of two lane roads, in most cases, were relatively little high er than single-lane roads. He said that in addition to aiding Oregon's growing tourist industry, better forest roads 'would mean more efficient operations for loggers M. P. Barry Dies Oct. 18 ASHLAND Special i Michael P.

I As th Klamath County Cham jbr of Commerce heard prelim imri plans unfold at Wednes day's luncheon for the proposed community hospital here, the proj lect was hailed from various quar ters as "the best news we've ever had come out of these meetings." The long-awaited word on im proved hospital facilities, which has been studied and discussed in Klamath Falls for at least 10 years, was met with accolades and handshakes for the two Pres byterian ministers who made the presentation. Rev. Robert Groves and Rev. Laing Sibbet. Hospital study was first under taken by the Klamath Jaycees, then alternately by several church groups and finally culminated in the local chamber's efforts and those of the local Presbyterian churches. Groves read a prepared state ment from the Southwestern Ore gon Presbytery, giving the go- ahead for forming a corporation to begin work on the project Groves heads the stearing com mittee locally and Sibbet serves as its secretary. Graves statement said the com mittee plans to work closely with the chamber's working committee, Plans for official incorporation of the group call for this action to be taken about December, Groves said, "although we have not had legal advice on this point as yet. Sibbet pointed out to the group that although financing of Uie com mumty hospital was one of the larger hurdles, it certainly was not insurmountable. He said sev eral paths of financing lay open for the hospital group, but further study would be necessary before a firm decision is reached. Groves said tlie hospital would not necessarily be known as a "Presbyterian hospital," and he emphasized that no church or religious group he knew of "is going to come in and give any community a hospital. We are not in a position to come in and even do our own financing." He said what the church could do for the community was set up a non-profit corporation and furnish "know how and practical experience." Groves told the chamber members that the Pros- OREGON NURSES, Klamath Health Unit, 7:30 p.m., 1949 Main. BPW RUMMAGE SALE, 8 a m. to 5 p.m., 1116 Main. SHASTA PTA, 7:30 p.m..

Always the largest Stock in Southern Oregon If you're not buying at THE RESALE HOUSE You're paying too much! John C. Argetsinger, Owner Have you heard about our unusual bouquet? Si Above is a bouquet of hops. These are the marvelous floors so important to the flavor and aroma of beer. We use three kinds of hop in our brew. Most Amer ican breweries use just one. The big hop we buy from lie Sacramento Valley. The medium-sized hop we grow ourselves. And the little one we import from Rainier Beer Bavaria. Each of them has been selected for a unique characteristic. It is obvious that using three hops where one might do is much more expensive for us. And a lot more trouble. But our hard-boiled brewmaster feels it's the only s ay to make a great light beer. He says it keeps us always two hops ahead, Q
