j0 FARM and GARDEN NEWS jg 10 Tht Newi-Raview, Roieburg, Ore. Man., Jan. 28, 1952 Forest Camps' Upkeep Requires More Money A serious condition affecting the recieational camp sites of the nat ional forest was brought to the at tention of th Umpqua Basin Con servation council at its regular monthly meeting at the Cottage Grove Rod & Gun Clubhouse. It was pointed out that the de- ' lapidated conditions found in the forest camps were caused from the , lark of funds to carry out a proppr rebuilding program. It was stated ; that one national forest, whose rec- ' reational camps were used by over 26.000 people in one year, was expected to maintain and po lice all the camp sites in this foi eft's boundaries on an annual budget of $5000. A committee was appointed to investigate and bring ' ir if commendations to correct this - lituation. Those appointed on the ' committee were Bruce Yeagcr, Roscburg, chairman: Kenneth Gil ; keson, Iloseburg: Ray Vincent, Cottage Grove; Bill Pitney , Rose ; burg, and Ernie Seatnn, Drain. George Meyers of Yoncalla re ported on the council's educational program in the schools. The coun- ' cil is presently showing four con- of the Wild." The council was warned to be alert in the matter of "the I'clton Dam on the Deschutes River. This proposed dam will be Injurious to salmon runs, it was claimed. It was further pointed out that this djm was being considered and was given support by the federal gov ernment over the protests of the Oregon Fish Commission and the Oregon Game Commission and might develop into a court fight over siaie ngnis II.

Hash Mountain Snow Cover Double Normal Years Recent storms have given Ore gon's 1052 water supplies a big boost toward recovery from the severe summer drought, accord ing to the prelimiuary water sup ply outlook issued cooperatively by the soil conservation service and the Oregon Stale College ag ricultural experiment station.

XIV NO. 3 MONDAY, JANUARY 21. 1952 An Open Letter To The People of Douglas County Dear Friends, If you were to stand at the bedside of a sick child and hear a physician sav, "This child has polio, I'm sure you'd do anything within your power to help that youngster along the road to recovery. Well, In the past four years some 132.000 Americans were stricken by the disease. And you mo neip. There was not one of these 132,000 people who did not ben efit in some way from services that you made possible through the March of Dimes. Four out of five received direct finan cial assistance from th Mo. tlor.al Foundation for Infantile I'analysis and its chapters. All, regardless of their economic condition, had a better chance to live, a better chance to at tain maximum recovery, than at any time in history, be cause March of Dimes moncv had given to the world new knowledge of the disease and Us treatment. You did help that crippled child, In more ways than vou probably realize. Terhaps v'our March of Dimes contribution helped pay the hospital bill. It may have paid for medical jure, ior nursing and phvsical therapy. It may have paid part of the cost of the iron lung that came promptly to the child's assistance, or paid for the cost of transporting the respirator many miles across the country. It is quite prob able that unless there was a National Foundation the verv poors oi llie hospital would have been closed in ihic i-mm and to all other polio patients,' a, they were years ago when a panic-stricken people, ton. plelely ignorant of the disease, turned and fled from its vic tims. You have not turned and fled lou nave stood vour ground and fought infantile paralysis wherever it occurs. You, and millions of olher A have pooled your money, your talents and your energy and ;have created i massive move ment to learn everything that possibly can be learned about this disease, to give every iiuksiuic assisiance to tne scion--fists and medical people who re struggling to hold back this terrible tide that threatens our children and our SELVES; a movement to aid the stricken and at the same time work for Ihc ultimate elimination of the threat. Throughout th'e nation, al most 3,000 clwiplers of the Na tional Koundnlion for Inlan. tile Paralysis, manned by vol unteers from your own com munities, are acling as your agcnls in bringing hope to every polio patient, wherever he mnv be. With funds raised through the March of Dimes they arc fighting epidemics, helping hospitals, furnishing nurses and physical therapists, supplying hospital equipment and prosthetic appliances, re lieving families of financial worries, removing the veil of ignorance that once stood be- iwcen ine polio patient and maximum rehabilitation. Through your March o f Dunes you have accomplished much so much, that todav men of science are confident that the means of controlling polio will be found in the nut-loo-distant future. But there is nnp niulnnnv nnu that tempers our confidence. As you have increased vour pressure against the disease, so too has polio increased the tempo of its attack. The last four years have been the four worst polio years in the his tory of this nation. More peo ple have been stricken with the disease in this time than jn the entire previous decade. In those four years, your chances of getting polio were three limes what they were a decade ago. As a result of this sudden upsurge, there arc thousands upon thousands of patients who must have competent medical attention today, tomorrow and perhaps for years to come Each new year of widespread epidemics adds to that heavy burden In 1951, while the Na lonal Foundation and its chap ters were helping some 22,800 victims of this year's epidem ics, they also were furnishing aid to an additional 45.000 peo ple stricken in other vears, who continued to need asistance in their fight for recovery. Polio doesn't hit and run. its crip pling after-effects remain, and will continue to remain until people like yourselves put into the hands of scientists and doc tors the means of wiping out physical disabilities. The COSt of fiL'hiine nnlin h been great. So great, that in 1851 your National Foundation finished the year with a debt of $5,000,000. Almost 1,000 chap tors in 45 states saw their local treasuries wiped out by the demands of patient care. Today, with thousands of cases on their chapter rolls, with ine tnrrat or new epidemics facing the nation in 1952, the National Foundation finds its entire program threatened bv lack of funds. The March of Dimes has not kept pace with the march of polio. That doesn't mean there will be no more help for polio vic tims. It means that you and 1 and all of us will have to help a little bit more. The tioie to help is now luring the month of .lanuarv when ih Starch of Dimes comes to your community. Ven you give, you stand he side the sick child and help him rise from his bed. When you give, you promise the chil dren of tomorrow that vou will fight until polio is no longer a threat to their health and happiness. So please give. Please join the March of Dime,.

Pressure from loggers is the reason many woodland owners are selling these young stands, the committee says. National consumption of lumber continues high while supply of available privately-owned timber is decreasing. The committee esti mates that the supply of avail able privately-owned saw timber in tne state may he vanishing at the rate of five billion board feet annually. Annual cut, meanwhile, is about ten billion board feet a year. , Prices Have Tripled Continued high demand on one hand; decreasing supply on the other has added impetus to the scramble for standing timber. Re sulting from this, stumpage prices for second growth timber have tripled in the past ten years j Most serious obstacle standing in the way of increasing future timber production is brush en croachment. So-called "a,ppln iree aiuer along me coast, lor example, will take over entire hill sides of potentially high yielding forest lend.
