, Soroptimists Give
Honor To Clara Shaw
. Mrs. Clara Shaw, who came to
Klamath Falls in 1926, really
didn't mean to go into business al
' most as soon as she stepped foot
1 in the town but a business ven
ture was "practically thrust upon
me."
That was in the year of her ar
rival' and "Shazie" Shaw has
scarce stopped since in her busy
life.
Mrs. Shaw was honored on a
birthday anniversary Oct. 26 by
the Klamath Falls Soroptimist
Club. She was invited to the usual
luncheon and surprised with pre
sentation of an honorary member
ship, silver candlesticks and other
gifts.

into the stationery business," (she
owned Shaw's on Main Street for
many years!, Mrs. Shaw remem
bered that Wynn Southwell want
ed to sell his store and ap
proached Clara Shaw as a pro
spective buyer. She paid
$100 down' as goodwill money but
still had not made up her mind
to buy. She took a month off to
go to Seaside and watch the
waves, "figuring if I didn't take
on the business I was just out
$100."
Before the month was up, a tel
egram hastened her return to
Klamath Falls, the ransfer was
concluded and Clara Shaw was
in business. She moved twice in
the first year, then into the pres
ent location of Shaw's which was
then a pool hall, derelict among
surrounding buildings.
And there she stayed, accumu
lating friendships until she sold
to Mr. and Mrs. Al Hattan, pres
ent owners. Retirement had no
charms for Mrs. Shaw and she
stayed on with the management,
sharing her vast fund of informa
lion on authors and their writings
with the public for 10 years more
before dispensing with the rou
tine of arriving at 9 and leaving
at 5.
She has given away countless
books to boys and girls to stimu
late their interest in good read
ing and devotes much of her
time now to raising flowers.
She is a charter member, of
the Klamath Falls Soroptimist
Club, organized in the early 1930s,
has been a longtime member of
the Klamath Falls Business, and
Professional Women's Club.
Mrs. Shaw has never held an
office in either group. "I told
them at the beginning 1 would give
money and help other ways but
I was too busy and I wouldn't
work. And they have never let
me forget it They still remind
me."
She was born in Susanville,
Calif., then a mining town. She
has a daughter, Mrs. J. Frank
Adams (Ruth), Klamath Falls, a
son, Frank Shaw, eight grand
children and several great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Shaw was the first Gold
Star Mother in Klamath County
following World War I.
Mrs. Adams was present at one

other gifts. Mrs. Shaw was a charter member of the club.
