Allen of Shearson, Hammill and Co. says that despite tem porary dips in some economic in dicators, the business picture is generally bright and in the long run, the economy will help put stock prices on the uptrack. However, Allen suggests a short term investment policy of using technical rallies to lighten up on poorer holdings and make selective new commitments dur ing lulls. Harvoy Dcutsch and Hairy A. Low say that while a cautious approach is in order until the technical picture clears, they feel a turn for the better is very close at hand w ith many quality stocks offering good values at current price levels.

U.S. No 2s 3 15- Hospital Administrator Arrives Boyd Sanderson, tlie new hos pital administrator for the Pres byterian Intercommunity Hospital. arrived in Klamath Falls from Minnesota Sunday to lake over his administrative duties. Sanderson's wife is expected to arrive sometime in September but his twin daughters will remain in their home slate to continue their college educations. The new administrator's first impression of the proposed hos pital was a good one. After re viewing the hospital plans he com mented "They're real fine from what I've seen, Klamath Falls can be proud of what these people have done." The board members this week have been bringing Sanderson up to dale on hospital plans and he indicated dial one of the goals will be to develop an accredited hos pital. A hospital may apply for accreditation a year after the fa cility has been in operation. The four groups comprising the accreditation board are the Amer ican Medical Association, Ameri can Hospital Association, Ameri can College of Surgeons and American College ol Physicians. Accreditation is based on stand ards of medical oeralion and not physical plant. A hospital under 25 beds, however, can not be ac credited. Sanderson explained that the new hospital will be non-profit with any surpluses going back into the plant for repair, replacements, additions, improvement of the fa cilities, or to reduce the bed rates. Rates will be established so that at the end of the year the hospital will break even, there is no profit motive in the oci'ation. he said. If there is a surplus it will go back into the plant, he reiterated. The hospital's board of direc tors volunteer their services, they are not salaried, Sanderson said. "Klamath Falls has a real good cross section of specialists for a town of its size and the new hos pital and its facilities will be an excellent drawing card fur more specialists, he said. 1 BOYD SANDERSON Basin Boaters Sponsor Sunday Water Festival The Basin Boateis, sponsors of the Klamath Water Festival Aug. 4, invite anyone interested in en tering any of the festival's ski ing or boating events lo signup at the Moore Park Marina early Sunday morning, the day of the festival.

Reports that the ammunition was being sold here came at a time when the hazard of forest fires was "moderate," but fast approaching "extreme" condi tions. Wardell reflected that a fire in the Fremont National Forest during the late 1940s was believed started by Army surplus tracer ammunition. The (ire destroyed more than 100 acres before it was brought under control, he added. A sample check of five sport ing goods stores in the Klamath Falls area established that two of the retailers were selling the ammunition; the other three were not. Wardell said that the local fire department has indicated its crews will call on retailers han dling the item and urge them not to sell it. as well as appealing to the public not to use the am munition. Officials of the Klamath Nation al Forest and the Division of For estry of California are also con cerned about the sale of the shells, which have also been dis tributed in Northern California. Possession of such cartridges is illegal in California and law en forcement officers of that state are now checking retail stores and confiscating the item when ever it is found. Sgt. Bruce Latlin of the Oregon State Police said that there is no Oregon law prohibit ing tlie sale of the ammunition: however, people using the bul lets are punishable under the statute which makes it unlawful to dispose of burning material. the sergeant explained. A Tulelake girl received a mi nor bump on the head and a horse was killed in two of four accidents reported by city and state police. The four accidents involved 10 cars, four of which received ex tensive damage, five moderate and one slight. Miss Barbara Giacomelli, 21, Tulelake. was the only injury despite the heavy j damage to four of the cars. State police Wednesday reported a car-horse collision at 10:20 p.m. on U.S. 97 south of Klamath Falls. Robert Food, 52, Portland, driver of the car was not injured. The witnessing patrolman said the horse walked out of a borrow pit on the side of the road right in front of the oncoming car, and the collision couldn't be avoid ed. The car received heavy dam age. Collene McCracken. 18. Tule lake. was cited by city police for following too closely after her ve hicle collided with a car driven by Anthony Sellari, 21, 2167 Kiln Street. Wednesday, at 8:55 p.m., on Main Street near North Eighth. The McCracken vehicle struck the rear of the second car push ing it into a car driven by Hugh Oren Hile. 45, 2236 Oregon Ave nue. The third was only damaged slightly. Miss McCracken said she failed to see the car in front of her stop in the line of traffic. State police Thursday reported a three-car accident at 6:45 a.m. on U.S. 97 at the Joe Wright Road. Two of the cars received mod erate damage while the third was damaged extensively. Police said a car driven by Kenneth McCart, 17. 2245 Lindley Way was passing a car driven by Charles A. Butler. 41. 4247 Fargo Street, which had slowed to allow a third vehicle to turn onto the highway. The third ve hicle was driven by Lester C. Shuck, 53. Anaheim, Calif. When McCart spotted Shuck's car he stepped on the brakes and swerved sideswiping Shuck's car and toppling into Butler s vehicle.
