The county advisory groups meet (luring evenings, gener ally, and devote much of their spare time to conducting studies ind making reports on projects of concern to their various committees. Those groups include the Armory Hoard. Budget Committee. Dog Commission, Kair Board. Library Hoard. Museum Board. Park Com mission. Planning Commission, Itoads Advisory Committee, Hoard of Equalisation, Welfare Commission and the Klamath County .Juvenile Council. In some cases, the volunteer .roups make recommendations di. ici-tly to the county court, while other groups act in a supcrvis my capacity to other county gov crnmcnt activities. Those selected to serve are ap pointed for prescribed terms by the county court. Some members do their part by serving for one term, others serve for indefinite appointments, and still others do more than their part by accepting appointment for two or more terms in succession. Of the 12 groups working be hind the props of county govern ment, only the three-man dog com mission receives token compil ation for its efforts an annual tipend of approximately $100 per member. In accordance wilh Oregon stat ute, members of the County Court are represented on two of the groups, namely the Wellarc Com mission and the Huituet nm-mitlee.

Commissioner Frank Ganong of the County Court com mcnted, "Services donated to the public by the citizens serving our county boards and commis sions are invaluable to the local taxpayer. I believe that most peo ple would concede that local gov ernment is easier to reach and more satisfactory to deal with than the state or federal govern ment.-;. I believe this is true because more individual eiliens are lively involved in local govern ment. Klamath Countv has been for tunate in the quality of the advice received from those citizens who have voluntarily served on coun ty boards and commissions over the years. At no time have we been better served than we are by those out standing citizens now- active in this capacity."
