Petition Distribution Begins
For Incorporation Of Tri-City
Distribution of petitions was
scheduled to start today for incor
poration of the Tri-City area south

Myrtle Creek correspondent Lor
raine Birenbaum said an effort

in the area on petitions. Petitions
can be secured from Fire Chief

The methods and legal provisions
. of incorporation were explained at
a meeting in the, Tri-City School
Friday night by Roseburg attorney
Carl Felker. The meeting drew 56
people,- none of whom expressed
opposition to the incorporation
move. . ,
Annexation Possible
Felker told those present that
probably within the next five years,
Tri-City would either incorporate
or be annexed by Myrtle Creek.
He explained benefits to be ac
crued by incorporation. He said
it would allow consolidation of the
present boards, such as water and
fire, and allow coordination and
better utilization of manpower.
This, he said, would result in some
financial gains.
In addition, he said the people
of the area would have closer con
trol of taxation.
He was asked if it were advis
able to incorporate such a large
area (from Myrtle Creek city lim
its four miles south to the Bill
Weaver residence). Felker insist
ed it would be because it would al-

'Cull' Logs Saved By New
Forest Industry Techniques
An amazing story which spot
lights the growing ability of south
ern Oregon's forest industries to
make useful products out of low
grade wood is unfolding along the
Tiller-Trail divide.
Two loggers there have made
steady jobs fur themselves and
others for nearly a decade by sal
vaging logs that were once thought
to be useless.
The men arc Hud I.eroy of Cen
tral Point and Gil Bonney of Drew.
Their small outfit, Hoot Owl Log
ging Co., is taking as much as
18.000 board feet daily out of cut
over lands on the 1800-ncre Tiller
Tree Farm of Medford's Kogap
Manufacturing Co.
The salvage operation has not
only provided steady employment
for Lcltoy and Bonney over the
years, hut is putting the tree
farm Into top growing condition
and is stretching its current tim
ber supply,

The timber in which the salvage
loggers are working is on the

Taxts Would Be Unchanged
Felker said that incorporation at
this time could be brought about
without any changes in taxes. He
said an individual amount equiva
lent to the $25 a year paid for
three road districts in the Tri-City
area would pay for the cost of gov
ernment. After incorporation, he said, vot
ers can approve "as little or as
much service as they wish to pay
for." The area being considered
for incorporation 'contains between
400 and 500 families.
As a. bonus at the meeting, It
was announced that the street
signs put up in the area recently
will help bring about lower fire in
surance rates. The Tri-City Volun
teer Fire Department installed the
signs. It was also reported that
firemen now have house numbers
which they will put up at any
house for a cost of $1. The fire
department can be contacted for
the service.
Proposed Curb
On Smut Reading
Matter Hits Snag
SALEM (AP) Hard core por
nography not so-called men's
magazines with pictures of semi
nude women is the only type
of reading matter which can be
restricted by legislative action,
the Senate Judiciary Committee
was told Friday.
Dist. Atty. William Frye ol
Lane County, president of the Or
egon, District Attorneys Associa
tion, testified in opposition to two
bills designed to curb obscene
matter.
Frve said the District Attorneys
Association had gone on record
opposing both measures, i
Frye said nothing could be ac
complished under the one bill
which would forbid sale to any
child under 18 material manifest
ly tending to corrupt his sexual
morality. He said that can't be
done under existing law.
He urged the legislators to mod
ernize the existm" anti-obscenity
statute, recently upheld by the
Oregon Supreme Court, instead of
passing a new measure to replace
it. ... -
Bruce Avrit of Eugene, an at
torney representing 12 Oregon
wholesale magazine dealers,
termed the "under 18" bill un
workable.
He did urge passage of a sec
ond bill with certain amend
mcnts because publishers of
allegedly obscene books or maga
zines would face civil proceedings
instead of individual dealers.
. Earlier witnesses at the hear
ing told the committee that there
is a need for the proposed law
forbidding sale of certain maleri
als to children.

"Much of the old-growth timber
originally harvested in here was
overmature and defective." says
Glen Duysen, Kogap forester.
"Many conky logs were left in
the woods as culls. But we've
made such tremendous strides in
our ability to turn this low-grade
wood into useful products since
that time that many of these logs
have now becoiiio merchantable as

Avoids Timber Waste
The salvngv operation, under
way since before 19A2, makes it
possible for Kogap to "slay cur
rent" with pickup of dead and dy
ing timber and thus avoid letting
such logs go to waste. It also
keeps tho company's access road
system in good condition for fire
protection.
"There were about 10 snags to
the acre when the salvage work
got under way," said Duysen,
"and we're getting them down un
der this program at the rate of
about one snag for every thousand
feet of merchantable salvage ma
terial." The forester pointed out that re
moval of snags is reducing fire
hazards for the bursting new
young growlh which is beginning
to throw a green blanket over the
tree farm.
"Give us a few more years' work
in here," he said, "and this land
will ha entirely restocked with I

Business Continues To Lag
While Awaiting Results
Of Kennedy's Economy Spur
NEW YORK (AP) The business
world this week studied President
Kennedy's "new frontier" propos
als to spur the lagging economy,
and wondered what is over the
horizon.
Some of the President's pro

Kennedy told Congress that the
economy is in a short-term re

He urged increased Social Se

employment benefits, an increase
in the minimum wage, easier
housing credit, lower long-term
interest rates and swifter federal
and local government spending.
Some business leaders felt that
the economy already was, prim

The federal government would
advance the money to tne stales,

U.S. Acts To End
Congo Turmoil
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (AP)
The United States is quietly
sounding out U.N. delegations on
a sweeping program to end the
Congo crisis, informed sources said
today.
While not yet firm policy, infor
mants said, the U. S. plan includes:
1. Freeing the Congo from big
power interference, 2. Forming a
government with broader support
than that held by President Jo
seph Kasavubu, 3. Disarming all
Cnnaniaca tnuinc A ftofAnviina nar.
liament, 5. Releasing all political
prisoners.
Chief U. S. delegate Adlai Stev
enson would have to win the So
viet Union's agreement to stay out
of the Congo's affairs. The dis
armament proposal would need
U.N. backing.
The rest of the program would
depend upon the bitterly feuding
Congolese politicians themselves.
African and Asian delegations
are likely to support the new pro
gram and it is possible the Soviet
Union, anxious to get along with
President Kennedy, might accept
it.
City Given Green Light
To War On Starlings
ST. LOUIfv Mo. (AP) From
the standpoint of the starlings, city
officials are making pests of them
selves. The aldermen passed Friday a
bill removing starlings, pigeons
and sparrows from the protection
of an old ordinance prohibiting citi
zens from disturbing or killing
"any small birds."
The city fathers, who for years
have been waging a losing battle
against the multitude of starlings
infesting downtown buildings, may
now legally capture the birds or
they may try.
Disposal of any captured birds
must be by a humane method.
