John Kall, 79, Dies Tuesday John Joseph Kall, 79 of Penkay Manor, outstanding Montana golfer and instructor in golf, died Tuesday night at St. John's Hospital. He came to Helena in 1936 as golf instructor at the Helena Town and Country Club Pine Hills course and worked there until it was abandoned in the mid-1940's.

Kall worked for the State Liquor Control Board until 1957 when ill health forced his retirement. He was feted at a dinner here upon his retirement. He twice won the Montana Open competition and was known as the instructor of several champions, including his late brother, Martin, who won the state amateur title five times. Kall was born in Cleveland April 5, 1891, the son of Martin and Verona Kall. He came to Butte as a young man about the turn of the century and received his schooling there.

When the Butte Country Club was organized he became the first caddy. He became a professional golfer at the age of 17. For some 20 years he did not touch a golf club again, working in various capacities at the old Timber Butte Mining Co. Then he worked as golf pro at the Butte Country Club and at the Anaconda golf course. He was considered one of the outstanding professionals and teachers of the Northwest and was runner up in the Montana Open on several occasions.

Kall was a member of the U. S. Professional Golfers Association, the Elks Club of Helena, the Knights of Columbus at Butte and St. Helena Cathedral Parish. He was married to Anna Seman Sept.

24, 1913 in Butte. She died Dec. 23, 1969. Kall is survived by two sons, Dr. John C.

BY DAVE EARLEY IR Staff Writer City-county planners firmly suggested Tuesday afternoon that the Model Cities Board commit itself concerning proposed changes in plans for the Urban Renewal area to allow a restaurant on Fire Tower Hill. "No where in this entire argument have we heard a word from the people who are most directly concerned," commented member Dewey Wright, as he concluded discussion continued from the July 21 meeting concerning the 1 feasibility of Jack Quigley establishing a resItaurant on the northwest slope of the hill below the historic fire tower. The urban renewal plan calls for preservation of the hill as a public park. "I still think we're out of order, "Wright said, after separate recommendations of approval disapproval had been moved and successively failed for lack of seconding. City Planner Don Kinney explained at the beginning of the latest session on the Quigley matter that city commissioners yet wished a recommendation from CCPB, after which the city body would decide whether to kill, or refer to Model Cities.

After the Model Cities Board has done with the matter the County School Enrollment Expected to Total 8,833 BY ANN CONGER IR Staff Writer It will soon be back to pencils, and books for an estimated 8,833 pupils and students in Lewis and Clark County. In Helena, A. G. Erickson, superintendent of schools, estimates that there will be 7,500 pupils in city schools which will open Sept. 8.

County Supt. of Schools Dorothy Simmons estimates that Engineer From Germany To Attend Helena Reunion A civil engineer in Germany who was graduated from Helena High School in 1960 will attend the 10-year reunion of the class this weekend. He is Jurgen Gregor of Muenster who entered Central School in the seventh grade and following graduation from high school returned to Germany with his parents. Gregor is among some 200 expected for the reunion, according to Dave Didriksen, chairman of the planning committee, who said 215 were graduated in 1960. He said an attempt has been made to contact each of them and also persons who spent part of their high school years from 1957 to 1960 Chamber Backs Proposed Change Of Constitution Proposed revision of the Montana Constitution has been endorsed by the Helena Chamber of Commerce, according to Dr.

Jack Burgess, chamber president. Tuesday board endorsed the recommendations of the chamber's legislative committee which had been studying the issue. Herbert Jacobson, co-chairman, said Referendum 67 which will be on the Nov. 3 election ballot, calls for a consitutional convention. He said there are many features of the 1889 constitution that seem hopelessly obsolete and funds are needed to inform the voters about them.

In past years, he continued, it has been found that changes by public election have often failed because of the complex nature of proposed amendments and it has been impossible to completely inform the public. Edward Nurse, who replaces James Burgess as chairman of the transportation committee, discussed present and future air traffic at the city-county airport. Burgess will become assistant publisher of the LaCrosse (Wis.) Tribune. Nurse pointed out by 1980, the airport terminal building will handle 110,000 passengers a year or more than three times the Lewis and Clark county population. According to a recent airline survey, the five top citlies Helenans travel to in order, are Billings, Great Falls, Missoula, Butte and Bozeman and in that order.

Dr. Jim Wilkins, chairman of the hospitality committee, reported on welcoming plans for ambassadors and their families scheduled here Aug. 13-14 and for 25 foreign travel editors who are expected Aug. 20-21. He said the committee is working with Scott Warden and Jo Brooker, directors for the state advertising department.

proposal would again wend its way through CCPB to the city commission, Kinney said. Crux of the matter is that while CCPB has responsibility for recommendations concerning zoining and land use questions in the rest of the city, the Model Cities area is the responsibility of: Model Cities. Its use is governed by the Urban Renewal Plan, approved by Model Cities, city commissioners and finally the Department of Housing and Urban Development, with CCPB merely an interested bystander. "Why are we still discussing this matter?" Wright asked. No one seemed to know and his motion recommending that city commissioners "refer the proposal to the Model Cities Board and Urban Renewal department for their firm recommendation" was speedily and unanimously approved.

In other business, CCPB members: Recommended approval of the application by Viola C. Posey, 1018 Logan, for a conditional use permit to operate a day-care center at 1112 Leslie for youngsters 2-12 years old. Recommended that city commissioners rezone an area in northwest Helena from R-3 residential to R-3-T. Neighbors had asked rezoning to R-2 dential, to avoid possible use for multiple-family housing of the area south of the Burlington-Northern tracks, bounded by Waukesha, Laurel and Henderson. The standard recommended by COPB would require that building height be limited to 17 feet, and that no structure contain more than four dwelling units.

Had sympathy but little else for member Bill Warren, county appraiser, who said he would have to lower assessed value of lots on Euclid west of Henderson because they are zoned R-0 (residential-office- Model Cities Board Approves Two Contracts The Model Cities Board of Directors approved two contracts last night for submission the city commission for final approval.

The reason speculative property owners in the area can't get higher prices, other board members agreed, is not because the area is mixed dential-business rather than commercial, but because Helena already has a surplus (until 1980 President Victor Kelly estimated) of vacant commercial land.
