MAY GET ACTION
It Grows Curiouser And Curiouser
By CHARLES V. 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.

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
