Store Oregon Selective Service Offices Deluged With Letters of Inquiry That Range From the Comic to the Tragic SALEM.-(AP) Hundreds of letters, ranging from the funny to Ine tragic, have been receiv ed by state selective service head quarters here, many of them Written by persons who either want to locate strayed husbands or; whp give advice as to why there should be no draft. 'In spite of many announce ments that it cannot act us a missing persons bureau, selec tive service headquarters still gets lots of letters from persons who want to locate friends and relatives. . One of the most unusual letters was from a woman who wanted to make sure that her son In law would be drafted. She said he belongs to the Silver Shirts, with the result that he can't keep a Job long enough to support her daughter. The lady also wanted to find out how her daughter could get her husband's army pay If he is drafted. The woman, after saying that the Silver Shirts tire fascists, said a year In the army would "'free him from these Insidious doctrines. He, like many others, will not want to take the medi cine that will effect the cure. He has lost many jobs because of his perverted ideas. He's willing to enlist If he gets a (officer's) commission, very typical of him to always want to start at the top." Uut Lieutenant Colonel Elmer V. Wooten, state director of sel ective service, snld he was sorry he couldn't help her. Matters of that nature are up to the local boards. - And then there was the fellow Who signed up in an Oregon city for three years In the army. Aft er three days at Vancover bar racks, he flecided he didn't like It well enough to stay three years.

Deserted Wives Ask Money There are many letters from wives, whose husbands have de serted them, asking thai the hub bies he drafted and the money turned over to the wives. A girl wrote to Wooten askine If she could Join the army ambul ance corps, but Woolen told her that is a man's job. Another girl wanted to be a pharmacist in the army. One woman wrote that her hus band disappeared, and that the police of many slates, federal of ficers and newspapers were look ing for him. She asked Woot en s help, bill four days later, she wrote that her husband had been found. Another woman, very much worried, asked, and got, Wool en's cooperation In prevent her neighbors from finding out that her husband was not the father of her two sons. In 1911, the woman, who had two small sous, divorced her Iv.is-1 band, and remarried. The son.i, 1 although not adopted by the ne.vj husband, used his name. Wooten made t h e By ROBERT E. GEIGER Associated Press Feature Service Writer LINCOLN, Neb. The greatest U. S. tree planting job of the spring is the setting out of an additional 35,000,000 trees In the prairie stales shelterbelt. In six years approximately 200,- 000,000 trees will have been planted. In this six-state project, Canada to Texas, to create a na tural barrier against the strong winds, hot and cold, that blow across the plains. Jhe trees have been planted In strips which, If placed end to end, would reach Ki.fiOO miles. I They protect 27,930 farms. This six-year accomplishment Is but a scratch on the surface of the tree planting Job the United States department of agriculture recommends. At least 2,500,000,000 additional trees are needed solely for pro tective purposes, department offi cials say. The shelterbelt program was started In 1935, amid controversy over its effectiveness, when the plains country had a dust howl. Some proponents suggested trees were the most effective means of breaking the strong winds that were sweeping the ! powder-dry top soil from the thousands of acres. Idea Dates Back to '73 The Idea wasn't original with the "drought busters" of the 1935 new deal administration. Homesteaders, planted millions of trees, encouraged In part by the timber act of 1873, offering an additional 100 acres provided a portion was planted to trees. The first scientific government al forestry organization was set up primarily to deal with the plains tree problem. The government and early set tlers had little success In getting trees to grow in great numbers because of the dry conditions. It wasn't until the drought of 1934 that the problem became acute. Two-Thirds Survive Experts now have developed methods through which the shel- terbelts thrive and make effec tive windbreaks. More than two thirds of the trees planted In the approved areas hove survived. Roughly, the shelterbelts are being planted across the eastern portions of North and South Da kota and Nebraska, across con tral Kansas, western Oklahoma and a strip of Texas. How Planting Protects Each shelterbelt Is planned so that it protects farm fields on the side from which the prevailing winds blow. A field shelterbelt is a long line of trees and shrubs. from three to ten rows In width and extending the length of the field. The lowest shrubs are planted on the outside; the tallest trees in the middle of the sh ip. Thus ! the wind Is lifted upward. 1 he forest service raises 35 va rieties of trees in nurseries and plants them, with relief labor, in ground prepared by farmers on the farmers' property.
