PLENTY OF SAWLOGS
"Stay After School And Write It 100 Times!"
II
By CHARLES V. 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.

Soviet brewery Industry told the
Moscow radio reporter that Rus
sian beer Is better and stronger
than American beer.
"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.

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.
