To Adopt Tough Policy (Continued from page 1) fire," he commented. The Florida senator said in a speech prepared for senate de livery: "We must stifV threats against us near their source. We have al ready waited too long. If we con tinue a pussy-footing policy the foe will not fear us and our friends will not respect us." Speaking of lease-lend cargoes, Pepper asserted that the country "should resolve that no power will keep us from getting the goods to Britain, and getting them there now." It was up to military and naval experts, he added, to decide on the best method for guaranteeing safe delivery. As far as Hitler was concerned, Pepper said that the United States should react to him as it had to the Barbary coast pirates in the early years of the last cen tury, and to (he gangs(ers of (he Dillinger days. The suggestion of bombers and "volunteer" fliers for China was prefaced by the assertion that the time had come "to give some plain talk and if necessary some plain action to Japan." "We know that the little yellow men are waiting behind the door with a drawn dagger to stab us when we become involved with another foe," Pepper said. "We should take the initiative. I believe n few American pilots in first class bombing planes could make a shambles out of Tokio. "If (he Japanese get a sample in their capital of what they did to China they may lose some of their blood thristiness." House republicans sought and failed today to force an imme diate vote on the question of whether the United Sta(es should convoy shipments of supplies to Great Britain. Rep. Bradley (R.-Mich.) said that ho and others had planned to offer an "anti-convoy" amend ment to a pending bill which would authorize President Roose velt to take over Idle foreign-flag tonnage for national defense but had been informed that a parlia mentary technicality blocked their attempt.

Among the Interesting depart ments maintained In (he main camp is (hat In which fores( signs are manufactured. The (signs are made by cutting letters and figures Into wood panels.

Included Is a huge carved wood map on which will be shown all of the improve ments, resorts, stores, camp grounds and other facilities at the lake. It will be placed be side the highway as a guide to those who visit the area. Camping Comforts Extended The Sou(h Umpqua Falls re gion Is rapidly developing as a recrealional area and the forest service is meeting this condition by extensive improvement. A new cabin is now in process of completion and will be occupied by forest service personnel dur ing the coming summer. Shelt ers have been built for the use of campers, and numerous im proved public campsites have been provided, complete with stove, tables and benches. Similar public camps also have been provided at Camp Comfort, now the terminus of the road, as well as at various scenic spots at frequent intervals along the road. A large number of persons are expected to visit the area within the next few weeks, particularly to see the wildflowers now to be found In profusion. Dogwood is in full bloom along the river. Rhododendrons are just coming into bloom and will be at their best within the next two weeks while the numerous seasonal wild flowers of all types are to be found in profusion. From Camp Comfort trails branch off into all sections of the South Umpqua forest dis trict. One of the most used of these trails is that leading to Fish lake, a distance of. seven miles. Fish Lake Beckons Anglers Fish lake was visited over the week end by a party which in cluded Forest Supervisor V. V. Harpham, Glenn E. Mitchell, wild like supervisor from the regional life supervisor from the regional trlct Ranger Berry, Harris Ells worth, editor of the News-Review and the writer. The lake, which covers an area of more than 100 acres, is nestled between steep, heavily wooded hills, and is fronted on the east by (wo high-towering rocky peaks, now lipped with snow. It abounds with eastern brook and rainbow trout, and is particularly popular with fish ermen who are willing to make a long overland trek (o find such ideal fishing conditions. All pro visions and bedding must be packed In. There is a good trail for the entire distance. At the present time the lake has from 300 to 500 visitors an nually, but Interest is steadily growing and it is expected that a shorter season may be neces sary at some future date to pre serve the fish life. The fish range in length up to 12 inches, with an occasional larger catch. Even the novice fisherman has no trouble taking the limit of SKATING Wed., Sat. and Sunday at the RAINBOW RINK WINCHESTER fish .which may be caught best hn tniiino n lum.hladed snlnner with a worm behind. However, fly fishermen are able m mam excellent catches during the early part of the season. Fine Camp provioer In keeping with Its policy of making the forest facilities of the greatest possible use to the general public, the forest service has provided four three sided shelters, equipped with grid stoves, and has built two boats which are furnished for general use without charge. The camp is provided with sanitary facili ! ..un..n !tc otp . and a cr.Hnr, f lA.mr cold water, locat ed adjacent to the shelters has been rocked in. The forest service maintains a cabin with telephone communi cation and full equipment and keeps one or more men at the site during the peak of the sum mer season to aid vacationists anil to protect the area from fire. Buckeye lake, two miles farth er on, also is one of the unequal led fishing spots of the Pacific coast, and, in fact, affords larg er fish than are to be found on the average in Fish lake. Much of (he South Umpqua dis-ti-ipf hn heen designated as a wilderness area, and as such will be kept as nearly In its virgin sta(e as possible. Roads and (rails will be built only for for est protection and recreational use, and only such improvements will hn made as are most needed to serve the recreation-seeking public.
