FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT
By CHARLES V. STANTON
Will the Umpqua river enjoy a big run of silverside
salmon in the fall of 1950?
Biologists find hopeful indications.
Tally of silverside salmon at the Winchester counting
station shows an unusually high percentage of jacks. The
jack is a male salmon migrating ahead of his normal four
year cycle. Presence of more than average numbers of jack
salmon Indicates that the 1951 migration, from which these
fish come, is larger than normal, according to Ross New
comb, game department resident biologist, although the
1947 migration dropped to 1010 fish, which would normally
presage a decrease next year.
Biologists have been making a study of forecasts based
on jack salmon percentages, Newcomb says, but so far,
while evidence is on the favorable side, the theory is too
new for acceptance as a proven fact. But it is believed that
a high percentage of jacks presages an increased run the
following year. At least, biologists will be watching next
year's silverside run for further proof of the theory.
Here's another interesting question :
What effect has removal of commercial fishing intensity
had on salmon migration ?
The answer to that question is still several years in the
future, but we have a "straw in the wind" to be used as a
basis for guesswork.
In 1946, the first year silverside salmon were tallied at
the Winchester counting station, 1379 adults went over the
board prior to Dec. 15.
This is the return year of the 1946 migration and the
Winchester count for the comparable period stands at 1330,
or 49 fish less than in 1946. Thus the run, has, at least,
reproduced itself.
But other factors point to a much better condition.
The migration this year, due to low and warm water, was
extremely late. Many fish, which might otherwise have
gone through the Winchester counting station, did not
. come into the river in time to reach the upper waters.
Check of spawning beds in the lower river show four
times as many salmon on those beds as observed in any
previous year. Thus it is evident that the 1946 migration
not only reproduced itself but made a substantial gain and,
in addition, will, given normal conditions during the next
four years, produce a much larger migration for the suc
ceeding cycle.
There is every reason to believe, therefore, that the re
moval of commercial fishing intensity will show a very
beneficial effect on future salmon migrations.
Winchester Bay Sports Fishery
The biologists also have some interesting figures on the
Winchester Bay sports fishery of the past season.
The study shows 18,107 sports anglers making 7,243
boat trips and taking 4,913 salmon, totalling 58,665 pounds.
The chinook salmon catch included 1,153 fish totalling
24,152 pounds, an average of 21 pounds per fish, and 3,760
silverside salmon, totalling 34,513 pounds, an average of
9 pounds per fish.
Breaking these figures down into individual records,
gives an average of 2Vi fishermen per boat, three-tenths
of a fish for each fisherman, or 3'4 pounds per fisherman.
Checks of equipment show that the average fisherman
had a capital investment of $416 in gear, boats, motors,
camping equipment, etc., or more than $7Vi million spent
in outfitting for recreation.
Studies have not been made to dale into the actual return
to communities of the lower river from the Winchester Bay
sports fishery, but some of the businessmen in that area
have made unofficial estimntes that profits obtained from
sports anglers during the Winchester Bay season amounted
to around $2Vj million.
Investments in new camp ground facilities, stores, theater,
and other businesses catering to the sports fishery at Win
chester Bay during the year will add from $100,000 to
$150,000 to the county's assessed valuation. The Winchester
Bay area probably will have twice as many visitors next
year as were present during the past season.
When a person begins to digest these figures, it is ob
vious that money spent to develop receational facilities within
the county is good, sound business, reflected in increased
tax revenue.

He goes on:
"This group of Chinese seemed
to me to represent the beginning

which could have grown and
brought greatness to China. They
were the product of Shanghai.
They had absorbed the best of the
West and mixed it compatibly
with their Oriental natures.
'They had modest but good
homes. Their children were in

enough at them to maintain
themselves with pride and de

No special privileges except their

"Now they are OUT OF

them unless they can somehow
get into the PARTY MACHINE

Four lovely young girls liked to
help their mother in theory. But
Saturday morning had become
a time their mother dreaded.
"They squabble about who is do
ing more than the other. They
fuss about who Is to do which
job. I declare I'd rather do it
all myself and let them go and
play tennis or whatever Is on
their minds. . . "
But of course that would not
be blessing her daughters, would
it! Although they at the moment
might think so, adolescents being
a bit allergic to home duties at
times.
So my friend wrote the tasks,
one on each slip of paper, folded,
and put the slips in a box. "Now,
girls," she said, "the tasks on
the slips of paper in this box
must be done before any girj
leaves the house this morning.
It's on the idea of forfeits. You
draw a slip, and you are on your
honor to DO what is on the slip.
When the box is empty you may
help whoever Is still working
or just stand and watch her fin
ish. But you all leave at the same
time."
It worked. Really it did! It
made a game out o what had
seemed dreary routine. The mo
ther had used Imagination!
One time EJ had laid down the
law about a task that our boys
were to do before they left the
yard. And they wanted to play
baseball and tennis . . . ijh, me.
Any mother knows the spot I was
in! The job was to move a lot of
round boulders that had been
hauled from the beach a hun
dred miles down the coast. Dad
wanted the space the rocks were
taking; he left word just where
they were to be piled.
The boys were resentful they
wanted to play first and move
rocks later. . . An ' idea saved
the situation. I put a big tin pail
on the spot where the rocks were
to be. Invited the boys to count
points or each rock that went
in the pail (those that missed had
been moved, took!) and believe
It or not, they turned to on that
pile of rocks and had a grand
time ... In fact, to get more
points they put the pail where
the rocks had been and actually
began to pitch the rocks BACK
again! Boys! . .

DETROIT W) A protein
ointment for burns enveloped by
a Detroit physician was reported
to have been used successfully on
500 patients at Children's hospi

The ointment is called "Epl

discovery was reported to the
medical profession about seven
years ago and since then it has
been used in clinical tests here.
Dr. C. H. Chase, who developed
it, said he expected it to become
more widely used as result of
successful use here. He himself
nas used It with good results in
industrial cases here, he said.
Dr. C. N. Weller, a member of
the Wayne university medical col
lege faculty, said the ointment
had been found excellent for
treating the burns of children. He
carried out tests at Children's
hospital.

U. S. Take-Over Of
British External
Debt Suggested
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK, UP) A sur
prising suggestion has been
made that American taxpayers
could save considerable money
in the long run if the United
States would take over some of
Bntain s external debt now.
This debt, called blocked ster
ling, is the $9 billion mountain
that fastened itself on England's
back when she was buying war
necessities from friends and re
latives. Britain is paying it back
in driblets, about $900 million a
year.
Some say the money for these
payments comes indirectly from
Uncle Sam, anyway, in the form
of Marshall plan dollars, and
that the United States must plug
up the holes in the sieve or the
Marshall plan can't end in 1952
as promised.
Ihe principle is a simple busi
ness one: when a businessman
gets too hard pressed by his
creditors, everyone may be bet
ter off if it is agreed to pay a
little now rather than run the
risk of no payment, ever. If Eng
land and her creditors would
face up to that grim fact, it
might stave off bankruptcy later,
a state in which every one would
lose.
Skeptics, of course, have
strong points to bring up against
