HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls. Ore. Thursday, February 21, 1963 PAGE S-B Dunsmuir Lions Present Colthart 30-Year Pin DUNSMUIR - A 30-ycar Lions Club pin was presented to Robert L. Colthart, retired school teach er, and a $1,000 gift Irom Frank Basiomb to the Community Youth Building was announced at the 40th anniversary celebration o( the Dunsmuir Lions Club Saturday night. Frank Bascomb, a long time resident now seriously ill in the Bay Area, donated $1,000 to com plete the Community Youth Build ing constructed under Lions Club sponsorship this year. Raymond Marks, San Francis co, International Lions Club coun selor, was the speaker of the eve ning. He told of contribution of; Jump Noted In Lava Bed Visitations Superintendent Irvin Kerr of the Lava Beds National Monument, near Tulelake. reported that each year, more and more people are visiting the spectacular features of the monument, which include unusual volcanic lava formation, ice caves, the Modoc Indian War historic scenes, and pre-historic Indian pctroglyphs and picto graphs. More people are, also, observing and photographing the variety of wildlife in and around the monu ment than ever before. Kerr stat ed that 12 public use resulted in K9.204 visits, which amounted to a three per cent increase over the 67.322 visits of 1961. Kerr said the majority of visits occurred during the summer months with 8.269 in June; 15.517 in July, 13,081 in August; and 8,361 in September. Winter visits during December, January, and March were normal with slightly less than 2,000 for each of those months. He observed, however. that an unusually low number of visits occurred in February (1962) when ground thawing made grad ed roads difficult to travel. Kerr added that picnicking dur ine the spring, autumn, and win tcr appears to be a growing fam ily outdoor activity at the monu ment. He pointed out that the mon ument is open and accessible the vear-aiound. and, because it is us ually irce of snow, more families and oilier groups have been enjoy ing outdoor picnics throughout the year in combination with their vis its to the many interesting features ni the monument. Kerr slated that a startling 34 per cent increase in camping occurred during 1!3 with 4.651 camper days recorded at the In dian Well Campground near Mnn ument Hratlquartcrs. Statistics in dicated that c.tinpcrs stayed long er tluin during previous seasons Kerr emphasized the popularity o( the new summer interpretive programs which were presented each evening at the campfirc cir cle and on weekends in Mushpnt ( ave near the Ranger Station Summer visitors numbering 3.838 enjoyed colored slides which esplamed the origin of the volcanic formations, traced the dramatic events of the Modoc In dian War of 1872-73. and illustrat ed the plains and wild animals of (he monument. Kerr explained that these in formative programs were extreme ly well received by visitors and undoubtedly contributed to the larger1 number of visits and camp ing during the year.

"If we are going to provide the schools w ith adequate time for the three R's, English, mathemat ics, foreign language and Ameri can history, these less important requfVed courses must go." he said. "They are luxuries we can no longer alloro' But Garrigus issued a word of caution. "This does not mean they can io longer be taught." lie said. 'Manners, morals and citizenship an still be taught just as ef (ectively in other courses anc. shy more effectively, in tlie ex ample of the teachers and admin istrators of the system." Dr. Max Hafferty, stale superin tendent of public instruction, who also has backed similar action in the past, was noncommittal on Garrigus' hill. "It sounds good," he said.
