state of Oregon nearly $300,000 (or
state expenditures during the Ci
vil War and two Indian campaigns
in the 1870s.
The newspaper said Oregon At
torney General Robert Y. Thorn

the claims still could be collected.
The newspaper said the state
still has claims pending for $3110,
000 in. bonus pay and bounties
paid by the state to Oregon Milia
tiamen who were mustered into
federal service at Pacific North
west Indian posts during the Civil
War.
An additional $52,000 is claimed
from state expenditures during the
Modoc Indian War in 1872-1873
and $21,000 from the Umatilla In
dian War of 1878.
The Capital Journal said the
Civil War claim, resulting from
two bond issues passed by the
Oregon Legislature in 1864, were

Wednesday's luncheon meeting is
worthy of serious consideration
by every Klamath County citizen

The chamber's board is pres

formulation of this plan. While
this group feels fully qualified to

area, it also recognizes the fact
that it has no monopoly on ideas.
That is why the chamber offi

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.

Suggestions or recommenda

to the chamber office or to any

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

plished in the not loo distant fu

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.
Dear Ann: Please print this let

should be left with "strangers."!
We had an identical experience.
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.
