TO PROTECT RESOURCES By Charles V- Stanton Protection of natural resources from unnecessary dam age is the purpose of a plan worked out cooperatively be tween the U. S. Forest service and The California Ore?on Power company. The power company has agreed to pay all costs for maintenance of a Forest service representative at its Toke tce station. The Forest service employee will be charged with keeping damage to resources at a minimum while the power company continues its North Umpqua river hydro electric development. Close cooperation will be maintained by the Forest serv ice with thrt Oregon Game commission. State Sanitary a u thority and other affected agencies, states "Bob" Aufder heide, supervisor of the Umpqua National forest. Aufder heide worked out details of the arrangement with John Eoyle. Copco's vice-president and manager, who was re ported to ke very cooperative. Under a new provision in the Copco contract with the Federal Hydroelectric commission, the Forest service is given authority to protect resources involved in construction work. Efforts will be made to preserve scenic values, reduce ailtation and erosion to a minimum and prevent any unnec essary destruction. Fishermen Protest Siltation The arrangement will be particularly pleasing to fish ermen who have raised strenuous protest against siltation resulting from construction work at Toketee. Copco claimed it was using every effort to keep the river as clear as pos sible, but upriver recreation was adversely affected throughout the entire season. Sportsmen charged that much dirt was dumped into the stream unnecessarily. Still to be constructed is a regulating dam at Soda Springs. Copco also is building a road along the north side of the river from Toketee to Marsters bridge. Both of these job will disturb the river for many miles down stream. 'Several projects remain to be built above Toketee, but it Is believed that construction of the regulating dam will cause ilt coming from above to be deposited, thus re ducing downstream siltation. It is expected, however, that some siltation will result until both the dam and roadway have been completed. It will be the responsibility of the Forest service representative to supervise construction work and keep river damage at a minimum. Spawning Beds Endangered Fishery interests, including sportsmen, are deeply con cerned about the effect of silt deposits on spawning beds this season. Spring chinook salmon, a species critically de pleted in the Umpqua river, are now in their spawning per iod. Eggs are deposited in nests, 10 to 18 inches deep, scooped out in beds of fine gravel. After the eggs have been placed In the nests, they are covered with gravel and left to incubate. Successful hatching requires that the cov ered eggs be constantly washed by fresh water. If silt is permitted to deposit over the nests, the eggs will be smoth ered. Another serious effect of siltation is the destruction of insect life, as eggs and larvae of aquatic bugs are buried under deposits of fine silt. The North Umpqua project is difficult to control be cause the soil is a powderlike pumice which carries for long distances before being deposited, also discoloring the wa ter to the detriment of sports fishing. While the presence of a Forest service representative wijl not stop siltation entirely, it is expected that the situa tion will be greatly improved. VA Stops Entries Into Hospitals WASHINGTON (.ft The Vet erans administration has ordered a halt to admitting veterans to naval hospitals except in emer gency cases. TTie action followed a simitar order Aug .22 to make more beds in army hospitals available to Korean war casualties. A VA announcement said the defense department is reserving 3.880 beds in navy hospitals for army and air force patvnts As a result, the 2.000 beds the VA has contracted for with the navy will be cut to 470. VA patients now in naval hos pitals will continue to be eared Hospital Council Meets Wednesday In Roseburg The Red Cross hospital council of southern Oregon met in Rose burg Wednesday to plan hospital needs for October and November, both for Roseburg and Camp White: at Medford. . I Many of these supplies, such as party and tray favors for Hallo ween and Thanksgiving, will be done by the children of southern Oregon through the Jr. Red cross, and will be assembled and shipped to the hospitals in time for the holidays. Members were in attendance from Benton, Douglas, Jackson, Jo sephine and Lane counties for a luncheon at Carl's Haven, follow ing which the meeting was ad journed to the Red Cross offices at the Veterans hospital. Men Dig In To Protect Picnic From Ant Attack LONG BEACH. Calif. l.P This is the kind of outing you've aVays dreamed about a picnic without antt. Remembering how badly the Ksky pests got into the sugar wi and potato salad at last year's city employes picnic. Dr. Frank Harnett, head of the pro gram, decided the 1950 event would be different. At his direction, Hugh Easton and a battalion of city workers, established a beachhead at Re creation park today, armed with every conceivable insecticide. And from now until the lablcclouis and food are spread out Smurday. they'll battle to exterminate every; one of Uie crawling varmints. lieaguet. next six . wcraa. 11, mui a man aiv iriiiani after six weeks, the number will be brought in line by transfers to veterans hospitals, the VA said. The Veterans administration has 143 hospitals of its own with ap proximately 114.000 beds. Twelve new hospitals with 3,000 beds are scheduled to be opened this year. Naval hospitals where beds will be kept for veterans include: Cor- pus Christi, Tex., 25 beds; San i Diego, ino: Oakland. 100: Guam, 10 and Bremerton, Wash., 25.

The ride was a real treat. The brigadier general a nice fatherly man named Wright pointed out a volcano to us and had one of the crewmen bring us a box lunch. We stretched out on seats that must have been warmed at one time or another by Doug him self and kept murmuring between mouthiuls: "It only costs a little more to travel first class. Like all those who return from a battle area to so-called civil ization we were full of self pity and felt we alone appreciated the full horror of war. But as we stepped off the plane at field near Tokyo an air force captain climbed out of his car and kissed his wife goodbye. She drove away with her chin up and tears streaming down her cheeks, and suddenly 1 was hum bled with the knowledge that there was more to war than I would ever know. For the first time I really understood the meaning nf a line from a Milton sonnet I studied long ago: "They also serve who only stand and wait."
