STANTON A meeting was held at Reedsport last night to set up a program of policing and regulation at Winchester Bay. 1 This action is overdue, but it is welcome news that steps finally are being taken to improve conditions before they ; sot worse. i Oregon never has known such fishing excitement. The sports enthusiasm borders on frenzy. It is only natural that the Winchester Bay business interests, profiting from Lie short season, should lend encouragement to the car nival atmosphere. Without some sort of protective measures, however, Winchester Bay will lose heavily. It is inevitable that some reduction in number of anglers will result from the record of fatal accidents unlois corrective measures are applied to encourage safety. But matters other than haz ardous waters and reckless fishermen demand attention. Vn fortunately, not all fishermen are sportsmen. "Some people, when they sniff salt air, seem to go craty," is the description given by John Amachcr, chair man of the county parks board. The parks board has "given much time and attention to the Winchester Bay Tidelands Park and Boat Basin. It has endeavored to protect the public interest in this unusual sports fishery by acquiring for the public the right of access to the entire shore line. Cooperating with the port commission, it built a small boats channel, launching ramp and automobile parking area. It is now preparing to erect public rest rooms. Public Abuses Privileges We havo had a very personal interest in the develop ment of our unique parks and recreational program; The Winchester Bay sports fishery has been one of pur chief hobbies,, although we have h little opportunity to enjoy it. But wig, have recognized its , value, not only from a recreational viewpoint, but also as a reverie-producing enterprise. We are forced to wonder, however, whether it is worth while to do things for the public. When people will wreck and destroy facilities provided for them; when they will stetSl tables and benches fJum parks, damage installations, ruin trees, and dump garbage into spots reserved for pleas ure, one wonders whether the effort of developing rec reational facilities is worthwhile. The Winchester Bay fishery is a good example. The county has spent a considerable sum of money for -public benefit. It has endeavored to improve the recreational resources. Yet 'people abuse the privileges furnished them violate rules of common courtesy and decency, and show no respect for the rights of others. ! Much of the shore area at Winchester Bay is mudflat at low tide. Tit many fishermen, violating trad&ional rules of sanitation, ncrsist Hi cleaning their catches in shal. low water, dumping the offal into the mud to create noi some odors when the tide is out. Boat operators race through the channel at high speed, their wake tossing nnchoreri boats around and eroding the shoreline. Boats aPe left anchored in the channel to obstruct traffic. Space on the launching ramp is occupied for long periods of time, impeding others from launching or removing sums, cars are irregularly parked, tnus limning space lor inner veiuuem Authority Must Be Provided Nnliirallv. liHese thnwcrhtlcss. intolerant people consti tute a small minority. The majority of fishermen, by far, are sportsmen. But the few inconsiderate people create intolerable conditions. The fact that these conditions exist demands some authority designed to protect the majority. The policing problem offers many difficulties, inas much as authig'ity must be divided between land and water. Steps now h&e been taken to impose some measure of control. This action doubtless will result in saving lives, protecting property, preserving the resort commu nity from financial fosses, and improvS'ig enjoyment of the fishery for participants. From experience gained this season, it should be pos sible to work out a more thorough poking program for next year. It is to be hoped that all affected agencies will give full cooperation. We want no repetition of this se,gon' tragedies a$i existing deplorable conditions. Lending JL3.t. rwl .fV -C J.

Prince Wilhelm's Burial Date Set For Thursday Criticism Of Umpqua Forest Status Answered ROSEBURG I would appreci ate having you publish this in yosr "Readers Opinion" column. It is a reply to Mr. George Web er's letter published in your pa per on July U. AS a group probably no one enjoys the primitive, natural out doors more than forest service per sonnel. It is easy for us to un derstand and appreciate Mr. Web er's resentment toward the changes occurring c.i the Umpqua forest which heretofore have been relatively untouched. If I could have the administration of the Umpqua forest as it was twenty years ago, I would make the change in a minute. Think of the fish I could catch in tha river and at Diamond lakel A price is always paid for pro gress. A forest with 23 billion board feet of timber is too valuable to set aside exclusively for recrea tional use. Recreation certainly is of major importance on this for est, but it can and will be pro tected as the timber is harvested: and a new crop of timber is grown. This is the principle of multiple use and is one of the two major principles governing forest service administration. The other principle is that of "The greatest good to the greatest number in the long run." Mr. Weber criticizes logrjng on Little river and points out that Emile crgek is jammed with logs. This logging on Dmile creek is on privately-owned land. Except for enforcing state fire laws, the for est service has no control over orivate ODerations. On steer, I ground characteristics ol this drainage, it is quite impossible to keep logs out of the streams as the timber is felled. On forest serv ice sales we try to minimize this . by making the sale layout so as : to avoid logging across streams having fishing values. We also ; leave protection strips along the 1 larger streams. However, neither, private nor public lands on steep ' terrain can be logged leaving small trees undisturbed. Nature soon covers the scars and establishes a young forest to replace the old. Mr. Weber also criticizes the con-. dition of the campgrounds&nd asks why our "wealthy" forest serv ice doesn't better maintain tha campgrounds, cut wood for the : campers, and build additional campgrounds. It is true that our camp grounds are run down. They were built during CCC days and many of the improvements have now deterior ated to a considDrable extent. How-q ever, I think that the public wm in general still find them to be serviceablt and clean, which is all we can do with the funds we receive for recreational purposes. Funds for different activities of the forest service are appropriated by Congress, and Congress also limits the purposes for which these funds can be spent. This forest this ear received its normal al lotment of $5,540 for recreation. This $5,540 covers the salaries of two recreational guards stationed at Diamond lake, equipment us age lor policing the camjpnds, the cost of materials for new toi lets, garbage pit covers, garbage cans, etc. This isn't nearly enough for the job at hand, particularly in view of the deteriorating improve ments. To keep the camps in rea sonable shape we are having our fire guards contribute considerable time to campground maintenance this is being done at the expense of maintaining certain trails. How ever, there is a limit to which we can go in this direction for a net work of trails must De Kept open for fire protection. Basically tha situation is one of inadequate appropriations to do the job at hand. The situation has been laid' before Congress, but in view of great need to curtail non-defense spending, they have con sidered funds lor recreation to be non-essential for the time being. As administrators then, we can do nothing more than to "cut the cloth to fit the patter" While I am at it. I would also like to refute the implication made by lit. Weber that our "wealthy" forest service is another inefficient bureaucracy tha-.-' doesn't seem to know wiiat it ought do. Your read ers along with Mr. Weber might be interested in knowing briefly what it cost to operate the Ump qua forest last fiscal year and what its accomplishments were. . Total expenditures were $316,721. This covered costs of general ad ministration including salaries and expanses; travel, vehicle re pair and equipment replacement: protection, including fire fighting (we had one large fire costing around $65,000); timber sale ad ministration of 193 million hoard feet; maintenance of a road sys tem oi Kt mups; a trail system of isuu mues.
