Aerial Drop Aids Timber Crews
In Little River Forest District
By MRS. 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.

S. Plywood Corp. is Kenneth L.

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.

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

dirt. Sanitarian Bruce Bailey says
this operation may take place
daily. 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.
