FOREST ACCESS ROADS By Charlcn V Stanton ApproximMely $100,000,000 of federal funds nhould be spent during the next ten years to construct 7,236 miles of new access roads in publicly-owned timber lands in the Pacific Northwest and to improve 4.189 miles of existing roads. This estimate of need is made by the V. S. For et service, which points out that th proposed expendi ture would be self-liquidating. The report says that cost of needed-now roads is cal culated in appraisals when sales are made. Thus the gov ernment actually pays for the roads, hut fails to get a suit able pattern. By constructing main access arterials, in crease in atumpage values would more than offset road building costs. At the same time removal of timber could be handled on a more orderly basis. A "fact sheet" issued by the Forest service reports that in national forests in Oreeon and Washington contain 231 b'llion board feet of commercial saw timber 17 percent of the nation's total supply. The annual cut permissible under sustained yield management of half billion board feet. Actual cut. however, is ap proximately one and one-half billion feet. Full allowable cut is not now possible because the nec essary access roads over which to transport logs to the mill from the rough back country are lacking. Balanced Cutting Urged Much of the privately-owned timber in the two states has been largely cut over. In those areas, at least, the national forests should be contributing their total allow able cut. This would help meet national needs for forest products and permit use of private lands for growing new timber crops. In areas where a better balance exists between private and public timber, access roads are equally important. Often mature stands, which should be cut first, are ' mort remote. If the harvest of timber progresses in the best manner, access roads must be built through miles of younger timber in order to harvest ripe trees. Substantial volumes of high value timber reportedly are dying each year because of the lack of needed roads. Logging Is becoming more and more seasonal, because timber to which there is easy access is being rapidly logged off. If roads were provided to make logging possi ble from remote areas in summer, saving more accessible timber for winter "shows," logging employment would be made less seasonal. ' Would Improve Local Economy I?y reducing unemployment during winter seasons ac cess roads would contribute in important measure to local .economy. At the same time, by bringing volume up to to tal allowable cut, more timber would be made available to operators, thus Increasing mill employment and manufac turing. The competitive situation also would be improved, as operators who do not have financial resources to build their own roads would be able to bid on small tracts. Still another advantage would be in controlling the cut t reduce damage from erosion, while protecting water sheds and scenic values. Another strong argument Is that of national defense." A full-scale war will demand large quantities of wood and wood products. The last war proved that wood is one of our most vital war materials. A well planned and constructed system of access road would assure availability of all the wood needed for any de fense use. S wV' Perhaps other attic contain items of historical interest, such at the trunk at the Richard Weath erly home in Scottsburg. which re cently was discovered to contain a log of the whaling ship Omeita dated 1R44 5. If so, the excerpts from letters from Miss Kleanor Stephens, state librarian, and David C. Duniway, state archivist, may inspire owners of such items to send a description of the old hook, or whatever, to the state library at Salem for inclusion in the index of such treasures. "As to Omcxa." wrote Miss Stephens, "1 did spend some time today with three different assist ants in reference room and i n archives trying to trail said ship ... .1 Rave the request to Miss Baumf(atner in the reference room in case anything further does come to licht, but in the liiiht of ! dates of Oregon history, 1844 is I pretty early for written records!" Mr. Duniway was away at the time, but upon his return he wrote; "Such records are fascinating, and I wonder what else there is in the same trunk!"

Martin I !-f "We have not been able lo iden tify the boat," continues Mr. Dun iway. "from the resources of this library, but if the present owners are interested in learning more about it I have two suggestions t make. In the first place, most of the whaling ships on the west coast came from the eastern polls, and undoubtedly the log shows too port from which it originally cleared." (It was Dedham. I think) "The records of the boats regis tered or enrolled from that port, now in the National Archives, Washington 25. D. C, would re veal the name'nf the captain, the names of the owners, the sue and character of the boat.

JENKINS were outnumbered by the advanc ing, disciplined British. They held their fire until thev could "see the whites of the Britishers' eyes" and made every shot count. Farther along in the struggle of the little thirteen colonies for their independenoe. General Jackson did the same thing down at New Or leans. Sheltering behind a barricade of spongy palmetto logs, his back woods riflemen held their fire and grimly watched the disciplined ad vance of the redcoats. When the time came to shoot, each backwoodsman picked his tar get as if it were a squirrel in the top of a tree and AGAIN every shot counled The red-coated infan trymen of Britain were stopped and the battle of New Orleans was won. Why this excursion back into our own fighting history? At Kimpo airfield near Seoul the ' other day a little band of our ma-1 nnes got there quick There were only a few of them They were in ; alegic spot and they HAD to hold on. They went back lo the tactics of their backwoods ancestors at Bran dywine. at Bunker Hill and at New Orleans. They held theiriire and they took careful aim. Tls pulled trigger ONLY when they had a communist right in the sights. Their deadly shooting was too much for the commies, and the j marines on Kimpo Held HELD ON ' TILL HELP CAME. Germany? riW-ta By WENDELL WEBB Editor, The Oregon Stateimen THE CONSTANT CHALLENGE A newspaper is highly depart mentalized, and one of its major departments of of necessity must comprise a business office. It is here that the "proof of h" pudding" is found, as to whether operations are on a paying Oasis, as to whether collections are in good shape, and as to whether the ; ink on the books is red or black. The business office, as in every ; line of work, keeps itself worrying about paying the bills and taxes. I On a newspaper there is a con stant if friendly friction between j the business office and the news I and editorial department. The husi I ness office knows that if a news : story or editorial offends an ad j vertiser it is going to cost money ! for a time, unless the advertiser '' fully realizes that a newspaper is j as necessary to him as he is to the j newspaper. I The same goes for newt atories : and editorials pertaining to indi ! viduals or groups of individuals, i A newspaper periodically goes j through the throes of calls to "stoo I my subscription." when a atory ! or editorial offends. But no matter how dilfirult. the news and editor ial departments cannot, in keeping faith with the public at large, allow I the opinion of the business office I lo make a difference to their own ! integrity. And even the business ; office would not want it otherwise cringe though it must, at times. The business office, as with ! every other staff member of a good ; newspaper, knows that no depart j ment wants to hurt anyone, or j anything. But a newspaper is not i Pollyana. If it is news it's news, good or bad. If a newspaper thinks , something is out of line, it is its I duty lo call attention. It must be alert, fair, completely impartial in its news columns and take the i chips where they fall. A "free" ! press cannot remain free if it is j subsidized through yielding to pri vate pressures. Food Sale Saturday The Past Matrons club will sponsor a food sale Saturday.
