KlamafrYs Picnic Spot
To Be Finished In 1963
Klamath County has one new
picnic area scheduled (or comple
tion by July, 1963, in the Bureau
of Land Management-0 & C coun
ties' cooperative recreational de
velopment program.
Nine recreation facilities have
been completed in western Ore
gon's 0 & C counties through this
program, begun in 1960. An addi
tional 44 camps and picnic areas
and a new trail along the Rogue
River were approved by the 0 4 C
Association's roads committee,
meeting with BLM officials last
week.

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

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-

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,
