ARTHUR IELBY There are many summer activi ties going on in the Little River District of the Umpqua National Forest, according to Jack Price district ranger. Mel Greenup, Little River for ester, conducted an aerial drop of a timber sale layout and road sur vey camp in the headwaters of Wright Creek, mot Boo Good of Roseburg Skyways made the drop. Three drops were made with a total of 700 pounds. Two chutes failed to open which resulted in some crushed foodstuffs. ' The drop was planned since trails do not give ready access to the Wright Creek area and use of pack stock would be difficult. Clendale Now Receiving TV Bernie Halverson, secretary of tne TV Booster uiud in the Glen dale area, reported today that in stallation of the new booster sta tion has been completed and that both channels of the unit are now operating in all directions. According to Mrs. Gerald Fox, correspondent, officials of the Booster Club have applied for their operating license from the Federal Communications Commission, com plying with the ruling that the li cense must be applied for within 48 hours after the station is com pleted and goes on the air. Letters Impulted The FCC previously issued to the local Booster Club both call let ters and a permit to operate. The call letters are flashed across the screen automatically every half hour, but only as impulses, lines which appear temporarily on the screen, rather than as visible let ters and numerals. The new booster unit is of the translator type, translating Chan nel 5, Medford (to Channel 7) and Channel 9, Eugene (to Channel 2). Halverson said that some Glen- dale residents seem to be able to pick up the rebroadcasted ' pro grams without any additional equip ment. Others', however, will have to purchase all-channel antennae or antennae constructed particular ly for a Channel 7 and 2 broad east. The new equipment is de signed to service Glendale, Azalea and Wolf Creek, and it is expect ed that the new system should give somewhat better reception than residents were previously getting from the old unit which boosted without translating the signals. Halverson said that officers of the Booster Club will call a pub lic meeting in the near future to report to the community on the equipment purchased ana its cost as well as other pertinent facts. The equipment was purchased from a community - subscription fund collected through the Booster Club at the time when the FCC first issued orders to the effect that the non-translating booster system would have to be dismantled.

Safety Council May Save Life "If we can keep one man from losing his finger, arm or life, our efforts have been worthwhile." This was the succinct explana tion of the purpose of a new in dustrial safety council in Douglas County by Frank Muscult, safety coordinator for Timber Operators Council Inc. He was a speaker at an organi zational meeting in Roseburg this week which drew representatives from several county lumber and logging firms. List Growl The new council, being added to a list of 11 others in the state, is designed to stress precautions be fore accidents happen, Muscutt said. It offers a special benefit. he indicated, to the small operator who cannot afford a safety engi neer. In addition to focus given to in dustrial safety, other phases, such as home and community safety come in for discussion. Even the women are brought in during one monthly meeting to air their views. The meetings start in Roseburg in September, wilh the topics of transportation of logs and lumber and school bus safety. This and other following will be general top ics, but specific topics can be in troduced by the members of the council themselves. Other subjects will include yard ing, wire rope, steel towers, "cat' and roadside logging, falling and bucking, loading. Others Called The council is designed specific ally for the timber operator rep resentatives, but others will prob ably be invited to take part in dis cussions. Included are wcighmas' ters, state police, public utilities commission representatives, truck ing organizations, state and fed eral forest agencies' ' representa tives. Muscutt said either he or Rob ert Young, an assistant, will be at all meetings. In addition, he said, the council's activities have the en dorsement of the Stale Industrial Accident Commission, which also generally has a man present for meetings. CHRIS' STUDIO 427 S. E. Main Ph.

DIAL OR 2-2861 Iff SATURDAY J OPEN ALL DAY Garbage Dumps May Take A New Look In The County Garbage dumps will have a new look in Douglas County if the pro posed one at Whistlers Bend is built according to tentative plans. The dump will be screened from view as much as possible. The stench of the regular open pit or pile dump will be practically non existent. Burning will be limited to non-smelling combustibles. And the refuse will be covered at frequent intervals with earth. This is the aim of the county sanitarians in the Health Depart ment who will have supervision over this and any subsequent ones set up in the county. Land Improved As an added bonus, the dump, if constructed in the cut and fill method, will improve the land. Dr. John Donnelly, county health offi cer, called it a way of reclaiming land. Final plans have not been work ed out for the Whistler's Bend dump, but the proposal is to screen it from the old North Umpqua Highway with trees. The proposal also calls for frequent compacting of the refuse and covering with Scene B. Inman Ore. Sat., July 21, 1962 Riddle Insurance Man At Round Table Meet Clinton E.

However, the frequency will be determined after an expert from the state Department of Health makes recommendation. The county this week bought 14 acres for the dump. Some of the acreage will be devoted to screen ing. , The new dump will supplant the present one for the Glide-Idleyld Park-North Umpqua area now on Litle River. Similar new dumps may be established at Camas Val ley and Tiller. Accessibility Stressed Bailey says the new dumpv would not only relieve these areas of the eyesores of the present open dumps but would serve to make the dumps more accessible to more people. It will give them a chance to dump easily and help avert dumping along the highways and in scenic areas now often used by the indiscriminate dumper. In addition, better rodent and mosquito control can be offered. "It's to the advantage of all of us," he concluded.
