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,

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.
Approximately 350 men were put
