It in a beautifully prepared, edited and printed volume, published as a report on research at the I'niversity of Wisconsin "into the renewable resources of field, forest, lake and stream." The University of Wisconsin is widely known for its conservation research a study started a century airo. as men of vision spoke out aprainst resource waste and exploitation. So closely do conditioni emphasized in this book par allel Oregon's existing resource position, that we could do well, I believe, to heed aome of the ideas expressed in the attractive volume. In the introduction it is stated: If tharo is 0 tingle tfieme running through this book, it is that research has done much to help solve many of the problems posed by the need te manage wisely and well the natural, renew able resources of Wisconsin. Renewable resources ere those that rebuild themselves If given the opportunity. In this category fall such things aa soil, forests, wildlife, and the aquatic resources, water and fish. Re ' neweble retources ere those that man often taps for food, shelt er and recreation. The non-renewable resources ores, miner als, eil, end coal are those he eipleits to build and eperete industry. Management Is Essential Once gone, the nen-reneweble resources are gone forever. The renewable resources, wltti proper menagement, will last as long as the earth continues te eiist. And they must last as long as man continues to inhabit the oorth, for without them he cennot survive. The word "menagement" rather than "conservetion" applies most eptly te them. They are not meant to be conserved, es coal or eil should be. They ere meant te bo used. But they must be so meneged that they will continue te renew themselves, end continue to produce a harvestable surplus, yeer after yeer, century following century. Research has pointed the way by which this can be accomplished for many resources, but many basic principles governing resource use have yet, undoubtedly, to be revealed. Only our Investment in future reseerch will in sure thet the earth continues to be bountiful as it mutt as world populations soar. In the book's prologue it is reported that "wheat and the axe first changed the face of Wisconsin." Just a cen tury afro the state's wheat crop was 28 million bushels. A thousand sawmills turned out two and a half billion board feet of lumber annually. Rut the timber was none within a comparatively few years and wheat moved westward to the Great Flains. Wisconsin bad to develop a new econ omy based on mrricultiira and manufacturiiifr. Research, it is stated, brought Wisconsin's farms to enormous levels of productivity. It is the opinion of the University of Wisconsin, as expressed in the preface to its report, that research into wildlife and forest management ran be as beneficial to the slate's economy as has been research in the fields of agriculture. Oregon Needs Program ! The University of Wisconsin has a decided nlge over most similar schools because of a large grant of lands from which the revenue is used to finance its research program. The school's findings, however, are applicable elsewhere and provide a pattern which other states could follow to great advantage. Oregon already has made excellent progress in that direction. Oregon has a forestry code recognized as the finest in the Nation. It now is proposed to add a chapter to that code to improve watershed management. Oregon has es tablished a Water Resources Board, now engaged in an evaluation of the water resources and studying programs to protect and Improve the reource. Oregon has tietter than average fish and game management. It has a loosely designed and functioning Governor's Resources Committee. Through the State College and State University numerous research projects are in progress. Oregon definitely is lacking coordination in its research work. Too many groups and agencies are engaged in var ious phases of research without exchange of information or coordination of effort. Many other needed research fields are neglected, through lack of direction. Somewhere along the line we need a coordinator of all research and resource management. He does not neces sarily need authority to direct. He should, however, at tempt to eliminate duplication, to suggest fields of activity supplemental to past or current research and otherwise to serve as a general overseer. Then we need money and equipment to enalile our state educational institutions to enlarge their research programs, particularly with regard to the renewable resources with which our state is so won derfully blessed. And we should have and do these things before our re sources are so far depleted that we must, as Wisconsin did. completely alter our economic structure. no suu wears ine air ui sureiy Tv. r k . kj nl ... oho hrnk. hit knuckles 7 - . . - somri iing woraeo.: lonen now nas young, but i!.U won. ior xam-2MW, custom.ri , CUJVmYr be- He went to work selling paper Xb tL wTwSf and twine at 14 and four years or - who, cn in of restaurants later was earning $40.00(1 a year luch Lo-gchamps. one barber selling laundry machinery. .. fflr , , , t,' . r u In.- in a tint in tht Mai.: . . r .

Hood Riddle, Oregon Presley Fans Take Swipe At 'Haircut' By CHUCK GRELL City Editor, News-Review Gee, these Elvis Presley fans are loyal. Two Roseburg followers of the shifty-hipped rock 'n' roller took violent exception to a picture of F.P. published this week in The News Review. The two saw no rea son to sign their names to a "writ-by-hand" letter sent to the N-R editor. The picture was a retouched photograph of ' Pelvis,' who has been declared fit for military serv ice. The artist, a NKA brushman, scissored off the Presley side burns and cropped his locks in ap proved Army recruit style. The two kids' essay read: 'This is to the jerk who drew the picture of Elvis, so please give this to him. "You poor excuse of a human, why don't you pay your debt lo humanity and jump from the top floor of a sky-scraper in front of a speeding car. That picture was pretty darn stupid. His hair line started about the middle of h i s head. Who do think he is, Bing Crosby (uggt "One more crack like that and you might find that dumb paper, down your slim my little throat. "Drop derd you dirty bum. "You poor boy." At which point, the two signed off, identifying themselves as "El vis Presley fans." Our comment: It's a long walk to Cleveland, where th-i artist is employed. We have no information that his throat is slim, and we don't know that his name is Bing Crosby. If the two young'uns will bring us a stamp, we'll forward the let ter. . Reader Says Jurors ' Issued Just Verdict CORVAIXIS jf - The nPPr- (dark because of .record produc tion last year. m.
