The long - range development plan for Klamath Falls and Klam ath County, announced by Presi dent James D. Monteith at Ja.st Wednesday's luncheon meeting is worthy of serious consideration by every Klamath County citizen interested in seeing this area pro gress and prosper. The chamber's board is pres ently devoting its attention to the formulation of this plan. While this group feels fully qualified to . assess the major needs of this area, it also recognizes the fact that it has no monopoly on ideas. That is why the chamber offi cers and board are anxious to River Posted Against Use PORTLAND (UPI) Portland health officer Dr. Thomas L. Meador said Friday he has or dered the Willamette River post ed against swimming and water skiing within the city limits be cause of contamination. Multnomah County officials have ordered similar postings. Dr. Mea dor said raw sewage has raised the bacteria count in the river be tween Lake Oswego and Portland 100 times above the sale level The State Sanitary Authority made a similar announcement. approved in part by the U.S. Court of Claims in 1909, but that Congress never appropriated the money. The claims for the two Indian campaigns were filed in 1911. They seek additional monies re fused by the federal government in original settlement of the state's Indian war claims. Tlie militia said the state troops were mustered during the Civil War after all federal army units were called back to the east coast from the Northwest stations. The enlistment bounty of $150 a man and the bonus pay was authorized by the legislature at the urging of army officials when state authorities found it impos sible to fill the recruiting quota set by the war department. Some 1,810 Oregon Militiamen were stationed at posts in Ore gon, Washington and Idaho be tween 1861 and 1866.

Announcement of full details of the long-range plan for progress will be made at' the chamber's annual meeting, which will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 2. Comments received thus far about the chamber's scenic loop tour program have been general ly favorable. By following the blue and white pelican signs, a visitor or newcomer can drive through some of the most beauti ful and interesting (from a his torical or geological standpoint) countryside Klamath County has to offer. Any new progam of this kind is bound to have some bugs in it The one major oversight noted to date is the lack of proper warning regarding the condition of the road on Loop Tour 1 be tween Rocky Point and Fort Klamath. During the dry sum mer season this road about 17 miles of it is definitely very dusty, and it can be rough in spots. Literature now being prepared takes this fact into full account. It was the feeling of the com mittee responsible for setting up the three tours that if a travel ler is willing to forego the smooth, high-speed, traffic - con gested highways for 43 minutes or so, he w ill be rewarded w ith a scenic drive difficult to dupli cate. Also, with the west side high ay number one on all priority lists for road and highway im provement in the county, bring ing the unimproved portion of that highway up to standard with a hard surface should be accom plished in the not loo distant fu ture.

Several pieces of play apparatus will be placed in the playlot after is turfed and landscaped, Gary Wooaring, park director, said. Strict Religious Bars Can Do Harm By ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: I am a girl 15 and I'm writing in behalf of a friend of mine who is the same agc. She said it would not be right for her to write to you be cause it might sound as if she were criticizing her parents. She did give me permission, how ever, to ask you some questions. This girl is not permitted to wear make-up not even lipstick because it is against her re ligion. She can't date and is not allowed to talk to boys on the telephone. She can't dance be cause this is prohibited by her religion, also. But the saddest thing is that tlie poor kid is not allowed to wear a bathing suit. If she wants to go swimming she has to wear a dress. Of course she's ashamed and refuses to go swimming with us girls unless we go to an out of the way creek. Can you do something to help her?- A FRIEND. Dear Friend: I have received countless letters from teenagers who' are unhappy because their religion prohibits many things which they believe are harmless such as dancing and movies. I oannnl advise these teenagers to oppose their religious training, If this girl's religion prohibits the wearing of a bathing suit, then I am not going to tell her to wear one. Unfortunately, some teenagers who feel that their re Itgious restrictions are unjust break loose and do everything they shouldn't do the first moment they get out from under the eyes of their parents.

My husband wasn't the only one who was hipped on the subject, I was just as bad. We ignored the advice of friends and even told our doctor he "didn't understand." We thought we were being de voted parents and that everyone else was wrong. When our little Debbie was two and a half years old 1 had to be hospitalized for three weeks. Deb bie was terribly upset by my ab sence. She had nightmares, tan trums, and wouldn't eat or sleep. When I returned from the hos pital Debbie was a clinging, frightened, thumb-sucking, bed wetting child. It took us three years to get her straightened around. Now Debbie has a brother. We introduced him to sitters when he was three weeks old and he is now a cheerful, well-adjusted lit tle guy who loves everybody. Thought you'd like to know.
