2 The News-Review, Roteburg, Ore. Frl., June 10, 1949 School Board Urged By Sam Reed To Recognize Need For Apprenticeship Instruction; Financial Aid Wanted . An appeal to the School Board to recognize the "very definite need" for apprenticeship classes was voiced by Sam Reed at the Roseburg Rotary Club Thursday. Reed has been active in apprentice ship work here, serving as instructor o( electrical classes and as a member of the electricians' sub-council. Reed told the Rotarlans briefly of the organization of the train ing program under the Roseburg Apprenticeship Council, and of classes sponsored by sub-councils in various trades. Reed recalled that in his own apprenticeship days, apprentices did hardly more than run errands for the Journey men to whom they were assigned. Under the state apprenticeship program, persons are trained for 144 different trades and occupa tions. The Roseburg Apprentice ship Council and its sub-councils determine what establishments are suitable for the training pro gram. In addition, here, evening classes have been conducted lor carpenters and electricians. Financial Aid Needed In order that apprenticeship classes may get underway promptly In the fall, Reed urged his listeners to impress on mem bers of the School Board the need of financial aid for the classes. Delays in the past have been due to slowness of the Vet erans Administration in sending tuition for veteran apprentices, and the fact that non-veterans must pay their own tuition. Interest in the classes has been "outstanding," with 15 men com pleting the electricians' classes this year and taking examination for state journeymen's cards, p WALLPAPER 2G0 Patterns 18 to 1.M Pag Lumbar t Fuel 164 E. 2nd Ave. 3. Phone 242 Reed said. Forest Fire Also Toplo Ray B. Hampton, in charge of fire control for the Umpqua Na tional Forest, told the Rotarians of forest protection problems. Fire occurrence on the Umpqua National Forest in the last 10 years has totaled 501, he said. These fires burned over 2,333 acres. Forty-three of the fires were "man caused" and there fore preventable. Humidity is an important fac tor in the start of fires, Hamp ton explained. Humidity denotes the moisture content of air, indi cating percentages of moisture air can hold at given tempera tures. Warm air will hold more moisture than cold air, while rain or dew indicates the "satura tion point." When humidity is low, mois ture Is drawn out of trees, thus increasing the danger of forest fires. Loggers are required to shut down their operations when humidity drops to 30, or to 35 when the day is windy. Wind not only is a factor in spreading fires, but also speeds evaporation of moisture from trees. Hampton told of the recent fire on Beaver Creek Burn, where a string of Incendiary fires had been lighted 10 years ago, de stroying over 15,000 acres of Doug las County's finest timber. The recent fire was unusual in that the ground was still damp and would not carry the fire. The flames were spread through the tops of old snags. Each snag had to be cut down and fought like an Individual fire.
