STANTON "Oregon isn't in any danger of a aawlog shortage for many years to come." Such was the conclusion reached by Dr. George Hunt, director for the Forest FroducU Laboratory, Madison, Wis., who spoke Wednesday at a special chamber of commerce forum luncheon. I Dr. Hunt made his declaration after flying at about 7,000 feet over the northern part of the Umpqua National forest where he saw mile upon mile of forest outspread with out opening or break, a solid carpet of towering fir trees, a crop of "green gold." Dr. Hunt is on a tour through the West studying wood waste utilization, consulting with foresters and operators, looking into problems in which the Madison laboratory can be of service, etc. Because he is interested in helping the utilization program for the Umpqua forest, Roseburg cham ber of commerce directors thought it might be a good idea if he could see some of the immensity of the problem. As it was necessary to provide transportation from Eugene to .Roseburg, .the chamber directors felt he would enjoy the experience of flying over a part of the forest. ' So, Dr. Hunt came from Eugene to Roseburg in a plane piloted by George Felt, superintendent of the Roseburg air port, accompanied by "Red" Nelson, supervisor of the Ump qua National forest. This writer went along for the ride. What no one knew in advance was that Dr. Hunt's knowl edge of Oregon forests wasn't "dusty." Dr. Hunt is a native of Oregon. He was born of pioneer parentage near Salem. His grandfather made enough money during the California gold rush to buy a farm in Marion county, but had to be brought back from California on a stretcher slung between two horses, up to a point near Rose burg, where he was met by his parents and taken back to Salem in a wagon. '. Dr. Hunt was employed in logging and mill work in Oregon for several years prior to entering the U. S. Forest service in 1911. He went to the Forest Products Laboratory in 1913, expecting to remain for one year, but has been there ever since. Before leaving Eugene, Pilot Felt required his passengers to don parachutes. We've never put on one of those thing without wondering if we'd have nerve enough to bail out if ordered to do so. Flying over the rugged country in the northeastern part of the Umpqua Basin, skimming towering rock peaks and looking down thousands of feet into narrow green canyons, rising precipitously from the silver line of foaming water in rocky gorges, we couldn't find much com fort, as we thought of cracking the silk over such terrain, in the fact that we were flying over softwood instead of hardwood forests. But we didn't have much time to ponder possible emerg encies. Red Nelson kept us occupied as he pointed to lookout stations, old burns, timber sales areas, logging roads, and other. points of interest. Leaving Eugene, we circled Springfield, taking a look at the new Weyerhaeuser plant, the alcohol-from-wood-waste monument to governmental inefficiency; the Associated ply wood plant and other operations. Then we followed the Willamette highway to Brice creek, up Brice creek to the old Champion mine on Bohemia, traversed Noonday ridte to the headwaters of Steamboat creek, crossed over lllahee, from which point we could see the new air strip being built at Toketee, and had a glimpse of the long gash built to accom- j modate the transmission line under construction from the Toketee power project to Dixonville.

If you don't Just be thankful you do have bottom loss wells to fill up and that your only problem is to keep trying to fill them up! I used to cook for a couple of hungry adoles cents, and any friends who hap pened to be around at the mo ment, so I know! Such appetites! I was thinking of the time Seeley and his Junior college pal, Harlan, started for the latter'! home, a wheat ranch In Kansas. Harlan owned free and clear a vehicle with, for obvi ous reasons, four wheels, enough mechanical equipment to keep the wheels rolling (we hoped), and such other things as Califor nia law required a "car" should have screwed, bolted or hung on It, Stream lined Jaloppy! "If you would make a few sinkers. Mom. . . We ure could use some!" So I made a a dishpan rounded high. Just enough!" H can see the two I like to bake! j' them now. (Later Harlan was ! to fly 37 bomber missions over Germany . . . hes back on a wheat ranch again. He and Na dine named their little son after Seeley. ) Well, the boys took off, thrilled! We chased after them 40 miles, until we caught up, to add several "forgotten" Items we discovered a while after they left! I stuffed in a sofa cushion for a weary head. Although they hooted, they wrote they had tak en turns sleeping with a head laid over on that pillow, and had driven straight through: "We didn't have to buy any meals; we Just ate rookies and pop!" They arrived at the ranch at 2 In the morning but Harlan's folks didn't mind because Harlan had been In the Day's News (Continued From Page One) away a year. But to return to the subject: Housewives who are frustrated in their desires to bake and bake because they can't use it all. F. M. did something about it!

"ALL Russian beer," he said, "is made from barley, but American beer is brewed from maize, sorg hum and even potatoes." a SOMEBODY, I fear, has been feeding this Russian beer of ficial some cockeyed data. I think maybe I'd better enlighten him a bit: It Isn't beer, sir, that we Ameri cans "brew" from maize, sorghum and potatoes. Instead, it is a dy namic concoction known as WHITE MULE. White mule is made not In distilleries or brewer ies of the commonly accepted sort. It is put together in strange me chanical contraptions out in the hills, in the dark of the moon, and when people take a drop or so too much of it they climb trees and and bark like a squirrel. I know, sir, that your vodka is powerful, and I am aware that your people have a tremendous capacity for It. I have marveled personally at the way you toss it down the hatch, undiluted, for hours at a time. I would advise, in all friendliness and sincerity, that you do not treat white mule in this manner. Climbing trees and barking like a squirrel might not please your bij shots In the Kremlin. Building Crafts Discuss Relations With Contractors For the purpose of attaining better relations between building craft unions and contractors, mu tual problems were discussed at an initial meeting held last night at the chamber of commerce rooms. The meeting was called by the executive board of local 1961, of the AKL Carpenters and Joiners union. Harold J. Hickerson. secretary manager of the chamber of com merce, said conractors gave con sideration to the general ethics of contracting practice, with a view toward improvements. There, was considerable discus sion of improvements that can be made in apprenticeship training, in order to build a higher type of craftsman within the union. The situation wherein public administrative bodies call for bids on construction projects without Intending to let con tracts. In order to learn general cost trends, was also discussed. Empty Bid Calls Deplored The work of preparing esti mates for such projects entails considerable work on the part ol contractors, it was pointed out. That contracts are not always let when bids are asked was de plored. Both groups recognize that more skilled labor Is needed in the community in order to better the economic conditions for all the people who reside here, Hick erson said. John Cornllsen. president of the union local, presided. Among the contractors present were Ted Shannon, Roy Cornwell and John Todd. T. O. Hart, business agent for the union, discussed his re cent trip to Copco's Toketee prot ect, where additional construction of buildings is soon to be started. Future joint meetings of car penters and contractors are to be held, but the date for the next meeting was not set.

After such a trip, knowing that a sustained yield plan of operation has been established for federally-owned timber, we can remain optimistic concerning this area's industrial future. Red Advances In Europe Due To Armed Might, Not Sugary Promises, Acheson Declares WASHINGTON. July 29-CPV Secretary of Slate Acheson Thurs day challenged Soviet claims that communism'! postwar advances In Europe are due to Its promises of a better world order. He told the House foreign Af fairs committee that actually Russia gains resulted from the threat of the "greatest peacetime combination of world forces the world has ever known" and from the "ruthless application of force" where necessary to achieve Soviet oblectlves. State Department officials have said Russia s claim that commu nism has advanced because of its appeal to idealism and reason is one of the major weapons of Mos cow propaganda. Acheson said the "threat" of the Red army was a form of pressure which has helped sup port unpopular communist mi norities In the Soviet satellites. Ht said that in the case of the 1!I8 Communist overturn In Cze choslovakia, this pressure plaved a large part In putting the Com munists in power. The Secretary continued: "The people of Kurnpe are fre quently reminded of the nature of this weapon hv carefullv-timed, skillfully-singed displays of Sov Ut military power, such as the recent exhibition at Moscow of the latest model jet -powered mil itary planes. 'The fact la that the appeal of international Communism Is not. contrary to the self-serving assertions of the Soviets, an ap- f rear. Two feet of asphalt paving Is being added to either side ol the present road. This will give a 20. font road strip the full dis tance of the concrete paving from the highway west to beyond the Edenhower school, llcyoncl the concrete paving the asphalt highway is being widened to IS feet. This work will correspond with widening of Melrose road previ ously. Frear said also that the county will start work soon on the wid- and Is ver' much in need of re pair, he said. The road crews are hard pressed to keep up with work over the county, especially since the hard freeze of last winter. The roads were not built orig inally to withstand the heavy hauling by log trucks, so break down easily under the large loads, he said. Much difficulty has also been experienced with bridges. Sev eral small bridges have been broken, but have been temporar ily repaired until permanent re pairs can be made, said frear. Editorial Comment From The Oreqon Press LOYOE BLAKLEY, GAME COMMISSIONER I The Bend Bulletin I In his appointment of Loyde S. Blakley of Bend as a member of Oregon's new game commis sion, Covernor Douglas McKay has made an admirable choice, one which, we are sure, will re ceive general approval.

Recognition of his ability and constructive interest has already been made in a number of wavs. As reviewed in the news, his as signment on the Bend Chamber of commerce board of directors has been in connection with the organisation's fish and game committee. He is currently a state dim-tor of the I?aak vi'al ton league and formerly held a like position in the Oregon Wild life federation. Loyde Blakley's Job Is a bigger one now. He is a member of a brand-new commission, equipped with new legislation.
