If anyone is looking for an expert truck driver, we can 'recommend the ability of Bob Aufderheide, supervinor of the ' Umpqua National Forest. ' , .'.. ' We horned xur way! in. on an Inspection trip made Rnh unit Pnirinnnl Forester J. Herbert Stone in to the North Umpqua district. Something broke the hydrau lic brake line of our liprlit pickup truck shortly before we reached Steamboat. 'The brake fluid leaked out, leaving us on a narrow, crooked road, coated with snow and ice, and us with no brakes., , , .

Our host, Phil Humphreys, ' project superintendent, was waiting for us, while the cooks and waiters had saved for us a most generous portion of one of the delicious meals which we can attest, from our most recent and several past experiences, are served at all Copco'g camps. . ( - - r Forestry Problems Studied .. j . We never cease to be amazed at the versatility and in genuity of the men who manage our federal forests. They -.have, however, had years of experience. They are able to construct a building, install a water system, put ih electric wiring, handle a pack train of horses, drive any kind of a motorized machine or vehicle, engineer a road, fight a for- , est fire, draw a map, cook a meal. No matter what emer gency may arise, they come up with a solution, quick-like. Those of us who spend the most of our hours riding a cushioned swivel chair at an office desk can have only the Ut most admiration for the many talents of the forest ranger and his superiors, the latter having, with few exceptions, served their hitch in the various field capacities of the service. ... One of the interesting parts of a trip in company with a couple of experienced foresters is to listen to their tales of experiences. Sooner or later they get around to swapping yarns. To listen is better than reading the most exciting fiction. Tt . . 1 J , 1 1 1 . 1 . . 1 11' 1 .11. 1111. I.III.V MIMIl III! H llll.

Impression Of Men Tfc In nna thfnir t.n fnrm an ImnrPAttlnn nf A man wheti you meet him in the atmosphere of a stuffy business office. It is another to travel with him for several hours in the surroundings he loves and to which he is devoted. We had, at first meeting, formed a most favorable im pression of the Pacific Region's new forester. We have no reason to revise our impression after a more intimate con tact with him. i We believe we'are going to find him a strong ally ln problems of efficient management of our national . forest lands and their resources. He is new to the area, having been transferred from the deep South only six months ago. Vet we find he already has a keen insight into the area's problem together with advanced and constructive ideas for future development. He will, we predict, be an important influence in encouraging more interest in forest production, particularly getting, sub marginal or unused lands' back into growing forests. Soft-voiced, easy-going, a "comfortable" type of . per son to know, he nevertheless conveys the impression of strict efficiency and stern requirement. If we were working under Mr. Stone, we wouldn't want to be caught shirking our job or being lax or careless in performance. He is a pleasing personality. We formed the impression he is most co-operative in his dealings, but we doubt if anyone is going to push him around. We believe our new regional forester will fit easily and comfortably into the administrative job; that he will quickly have the confidence and friendship of the people of the re gion, and that he will turn in an exceptionally good job of administration. . , i . In other words, as evident by our comments, we like him very much. . j , ENDING 'BASKET- Did you ever see a "fern ball" hanging basket? I remember sev eral of them very well. The "ball ' was made of an asparagus fern, as It was called, with the long black stems twisted and inter twined. The green foliage stood out from the center part and made a very pretty effect. Maybe there was earth in the middle; I don't know. The "ball'' was a bit flat tened in contour on top and bot torn, but fairly round. To water, the ball was suspended In water for an hour or so. There was no real basket other than the old stems twisted round and round. Of course the plant would be quite an old one even in those days it was fairly expensive. I wish I could start one. Why not? Speaking of growing things: It p interesting to know what other slates arc doing ln the way of con servation erosion control and en couragement of wildlife shelter, in Wyoming County (N.Y.) there has been for five, years now a soil I conservation plan whereby the State Consertallon Department, the Wyoming County Soli Conser vation District and farmers called "co-operators," work together to I establish wildlife shelters and er osion checks. Say the Wyoming ! County Times: inc state makes machlnerv and supervisory employes available to the district and the district hires the labor for the job. Co - operators ray $9.50 per thousand for tree planting and $10.50 per thousand for shrub planting. The State Con servation Department pays the bal ance of the cost from funds made available to it under the Pittman Robertson Act, more familiarly known as D," "Trees and shrubs will be planted in the Buffalo Creek watershed aitaln this year is part of the com plete plan for erosion and flood control of the creek. All the shrubs allotted and over 200.000 trees to be planted in Wyoming county are stored in a stone tgioo. , . lor use f 'ti.--. ...... . p0 - J: s , : s ' - - A. .TL ' H f:'l FORESTER INSPECTS POWER DEVELOPMENT .

Chandler, 55, the year 1952 is a terrible bore. lie has been yawn ing ever since it arrived. As a matter of face, he hasn't been able to quit. The yawns start ed New Year's Day, about one a minute, and then got worse lie was yawning every other second when his physician, Dr. John B. Gregory, sent him to a hospital five days ago. There he went Into an oxygen tent, and attendants began treat ing him with injections Now he's getting better back to yawn a minute. Chandler, a railroad clerk here for 27 years, said he understood he was suffering from arthritis and lack of oxygen in his blood, lie said this tired him out and kept him yawning. Dr. Gregory would not discuss the case, but Chandler said he had been told he would recover. In addition to the captain, each National Hockey League team bas three alternate captains. In The Day's News By FRANK JENKINS (Continued from Page 1) over, they asked only' one ques tion: "WHEN DO WE EAT?" That is to say,' they didn't seem to care WHOM they worked for. They just wanted to GO ON WORKING and finding c-it things. Most of our people were amazed at the time at this attitude. But there - it was.- It is reasonable to suppose that those taken over by the Russians had the SAME attitude, and it must be presumed that they have been going on working and learn ing just as those taken over by our side have. been. That prompts a question: In this scared, uncertain, ner vous, maybe trigger-happy world, is The Bomb the answer to our yearning for peaco and security? Is complete military prepared ness the answer? I doubt it. I think the answer lies DEEP WITHIN OURSELVES. In our own attitudes. We must be STRONG, of course. A rich weakling is al ways in trouble. But the first rule for getting along with people is to make people like you is to LIKE THEM. Somehow, we must show more sympathy and less suspicion. And maybe this Is most im portant we must learn that we can't BUY FRIENDS. That just isn't done In this world. You don't get friends that way. FRIEND SHIP can't be bought. as soon as weather permits . . . . Early planting will play an im portant part in giving co oper ators a high rate ot survival." The area mentioned Is in a narrow val ley between quite steep hills. All In all, I can think nf no better way to put it than in Teddy Roosevelt's phrase: "Speak softly, and carry a big stick. From Albany (Oregon.) "Five men were arraigned here Monday after police raided a farm where they said a COCKFIGHT was In progress. The men wer charged with "committing a n act which grossly outrages public decency and is injurious to pub lic morals." The Linn county district attor ney said that charge was selected because no Oregon law prohibits rockfighting. One question: Did the men Just watch the cocks while they were fighting, or DID THEY BET ON 'EM? Me, I wouldn't give two cents to see a cockfight, and I have a low opinion of anyone who en joys seeing a couple of roosters battle each other to the bloody death as a public show. But when we go around Robin Hood's barn to find a law to punish people who watch a cock fight WHEN THERE IS NO LAW AGAINST COCKFIGHTING and then look the other way whe.i professionals run slot machines and other gambling devices (as has been done fairly consistently in Oregon over the years) WHEN THERE ARE PLENTY OF LAWS IN OREGON AGAINST GAMBLING Well, in that case, 1 think we're just acting plain silly. Cockfight ing, low as it is, can be no more degrading to public morals than winking at gambling wher ' e law books In Oregon are fair' idded with anti-gambling lawr Pro-Western Agenda Drawn By GOP Group SAN FRANCISCO W A 20 point program "good for the West" and "of benefit to Via nation" was adopted by Western Republicans Wednesday and recommended for inclusion in the national GOP plat form. The delegates from 11 Western states, Hawaii and Alaska, here for a regional patty conference, skirted the public power issue, however, in approving the program tentatively accepted at heir Oco be r meeting in Seattle. Yielding to objections from Cali fornians, the delegates deleted a section calling for repeal of a fed eral law which gives public agen cies preference in the purchase of hydro electric power from gov ernment water and power projects. Opponents said the proposal was contrary to Republican policy orig inated in Theodore Roosevelt's lime. Recommendations Listed Recommendations approved in cluded: Federal return of all claim to tidclands to the states. Immediate statehood for Hawaii and statehood for Alaska under legislation providing for Alaskan control of Alaska's resources. (The word "immediate" was used only in connection with Hawaii.) Continuance of present federal laws on minig plas, o publicly owd lands. - Advocacy of a "full and orderly program" for the development and conservation of Western water re sources. Opposition to the valley authority method of river basin development as promoted by the administration in the Columbia and Missouri Vallies. Proecton of Amercan fisheries whether by domestic regulation or treaties, including safeguards against competition from areas with sub-standard wages. Opposition to attempts of the United Nations to exercise juris diction over American fisheries. NOMINATED William H.

WINSTON PHONE 9-8814 Kentucky Raid Of FBI Garners ; Gaming Devices j LOUISVILLE, Ky. IB The FBI launched a surprise statewide: roundup of costly gambling ma-! chines in Kentucky Friday. By early afternoon, 2,589 devices 1 valued at about $500,000 had been seized and nearly a score of war rants issued. The drive started in key cities and fanned out into smaller com- -munities. the Federal Bureau of 1 Investigation office here reported. Warrants were issued for nearly a score of persons, the FBI said. An FBI agent reported 99 per cent of the machines seized were the kind known as "one-arm band its.' He said the others included payoff mechanisms. In Washington, FBt Director J Edgar Hoover described the Ken tucky roundup as a continuing drive on violations of the federal law against Interstate transportation of gambling devices. He described those arrested as dealers in gambling machines, il legal under Kentucky law as well as utcder the federal statute . FBI agents and local officers, traveling with vans, he said, made rapid seizures in private and public clubs, cafes, and various places of amusement. A Tribute To- Our Telephone Girls!
