UPI Telephoto Council On Aging Elects Portland Man Chairman SALEM (UPI) The State Council on Aging was advised Wednesday to relate its success! to the legislature in human terms, The admonition by Sen. Alfred Corbett, D-Portland, came shortly before the council ' elected Don Chapman, Portland, executive vice president of Oregon Physicians' Service, as chairman for the 1963- 65 biennium. Mrs. Ann Chambers Oregon City labor official, was re elected secretary. KF Student Honored At Stanford A Klamath Falls youth was among a group of 19 sophomores at Stanford University honored Wednesday for academic excel lence during their freshmen years. The Orcgonian is David War ren Poole, son of Mr. and Mrs. Warren M. Poole, 1960 Lawrence Street. He was the only student from Oregon to attain the honor. Stanford President Wallace Sterling cited the 19 at the fresh man convocation in Frost Memo rial Amphitheater at the Palo Alto. Calif., campus of the university. The students had a cumulative grade point average of 3.80 dur ine their freshman year. A grade point of 4.0 is "straight A" or 'perfect." The Eioup will be formally hon- ored at a dinner Oct. 3 with the Alumni Executive Board and the special faculty committee which chose the honorees. The committee is composed of H. Donald Winbiglcr, dean of stu dents; and Professors John v.. Doods, English; Edwin M. Good, rclieion; Eric Hutchinson, chem istry; and James T. Watkins, po litical science. Poole was graduated from viamath l.'nion Hich School in 1962. He is majoring in physics Corbett told the group's quarter ly meeting some legislators ques tion the need to continue the coun cil. You have operated very quiet ly, and have not taken credit for) much you have done. Maybe you did your job too well," he said. Outgoing Chairman J. Wesley Nicholson, Eugene, said "it would not be proper for the slate councilj to blow its horn and shift the spotlight from the work done by local agencies. Nicholson said the council's 1963 65 budget was $44,534. He said under executive order plans have been prepared to trim this 14 per cent to $38,299 or by 21 per cent to $34,875 if the Oct. 15 election results in defeat of the tax in crease measure. . When questioned by ' a member regarding the elimination of all out-of-state travel in the stripped budgets, Nicholson replied "it is hard to sell the legislature on the value of travel unless it is a trip to Hawaii." Corbett outlined action by the 1963 legislature which affected the elderly. He said the council should study and suggest needed! amendments to the homestead tax exemption act and the bill to bar discrimination based on age. The homestead tax exemption act as passed is an important stepi toward easing the financial bur dens of elderly persons on limited incomes, but needs some improvc-i ments. The act is difficult to ad-i minister and needs clarification,' he said. He said the $2,500 gross income limit was too low for an elderly couple attempting to live with to day's rising costs. He said the legislature Improved the law barring discrimination based on age. The act applies to firms. which employ six or more persons. "Since five out of seven employ ers hire less than six persons, I suggest you look into the wisdom of modifying this limit," Corbett said. Rest Home Survivors Ace Moved RIGGINS, Idaho (UPI I - Sur-, vi voi s of the tragic predawn fire which swept through a rest home here Tuesday and claimed the lives of seven elderly men will; be moved to other rest homes I throughout the area. Bob Salter, owner of the Para dise Pines Rest Home, said Wednesday, "We are cooperating! with state officials in attempting to move these people out as rap idly as possible. "I would not say we are being forced by the state officials. It's more a matter of both we and the state realizing that Riggins Hot Springs is not a suitable place to keep these people, Salter said. Riggins Hot Springs is a re sort run by the persons who own ed the hospital. Salter, who estimated his prop erty loss at $200,000. said he did not believe he would rebuild the rest home. Nearly a score of elderly pa tients, both men and women, were taken to Riggins Hot Springs a few miles from here following the' fire. About a dozen others, whol suffered shock, cuts and bruises in their hasty exit from the in ferno, were hospitalized for ob servation at McCall south of here. "We are moving them just as quickly as w e can" to rest homes at Grangcville, Weiscr, possibly Council and some even to Boise, Salter added. The fire was discovered about 3: 15 by Johanna Walters, a nurse's aide, who was en route to the furnace room to check on a wall which felt warm. Before she reached there she found the; ceiling in flames. Meanwhile, at Council, Adams County Coroner Gene LaFay said an inquest will be held to determine the cause of the blaze. He said the inquest would be held at New Meadows' Friday Saturday or possibly Monday. LaFay said the date would de pend on how quickly some, of the staff members of the Paradise Pines Nursing Home recover from shock. "When that many people die, think this should be done sol there will be no unanswered qucs tions, Lai-ay said. HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls.
