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-

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

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,.
Yours Very Truly,
R. W. Bashford

Pressure from loggers is the

the rate of five billion board feet

is about ten billion board feet a

Prices Have Tripled
Continued high demand on one
