FARM FOREST FACTS BY BOB BRADLEY eaunrr arreHsioM ronesrai OREGON STATE UfHVCRSITY How often have you heard some one say, "If I had known 20 years ago what I know today, I would have done things differently?" In other words, we learn some things too late to make use of them. For this reason, we try to teach our children some of the more im portant things at an early age, so that they will have this knowledge to use whenever they need it. In Oregon, one of these more Important things is our forests. In fact, it heads the list as our great est source of income. Is addition, our forests contribute indirectly to our second, highest source of in come, agriculture, by holding and gradually releasing water. Recrea tion, another major source of in come, is directly dependent upon our forests, for the most part. Many Attend In 1962,. a total 686 sixth grade students, representing 16 schools in nine school districts took part in five forestry tours. At these tours they learned about such things as forest products, forest soils, tree identification and refor estation, pruning and thinning, fire control and wildlife in a giant out door classroom. Thev cnuld actual ly see and touch the things they were learning about, for their text nooks had suddenly come to life in this fir-scented natural settine. Originally, the tours in his coun ty were on the Bert Melius tree farm between Tenmile and Reston. Last fall, a second area located on the Mona Rydell tree farm west of Drain was added to serve the schools of the north end of the county. This spring, a third area located on the South Umpqua Rod and Gun Club property, west of Canyonville, has been added for the schools of southern Douglas County. On April 24, some 300 students will converge on the new south Douglas area. The following morn ing 160 more sixth graders will tour the Melius or Central Douglas site. In the afternoon, on the same site, nearly 50 vocational agricul ture students will take part in a special advanced tour, designed to supplement their studies in forestry- Foresters Teach And who teaches these students? Mainly they are foresters from the various federal, state and coun ty forestry agencies and the lum ber and plywood industry. Others present specially trained persons in the fields of soils, game man agement and 4-H. From letters and other both written and oral reports we re ceive, this experience is a lasting one. Information learned is the subject of many classroom discus sions and themes throughout the school year and gives greater meaning to classroom studies in forestry and conservation. We of the Douglas County School Forest ry Tour Committee believe that what is learned from these tours will aid these students in many later-life decisions. Mon., April 22, 1963 The News-Review, Roseburg, Or, f World's Most Elastic Spaceship May Be Claimed By United States CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI) -Concede the Russians what you will, but to the United States must go the honor of having built what seems to be the world's most elas tic spaceship. The result could be the first endurance contest in space a sort of flagpole sitting-in-the-sky, star ring, astronauts. If science is will ing to take a backseat. At the heart of the matter is America's famed Mercury space capsule and, more specifically, its remarkably stretchable abilities which appear to have no limit. Two years ago, scientists placed what seemed a firm limit on a man-carrying Mercury capsule three orbits, no more. The experts cited all sorts of reasons why any thing more was entirely out of the Question! . . , j ' Capsule Far Cooper Today, the .same , scientists are getting the same, type of capsule ready to take an astronaut, L. College Students Visit In Winston By PHEBE McGUIRI David McCord, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles McCord of DiUard, spent the Easter weekend with his parents and brother, Pete. David has returned to his studies at South ern Oregon College in Ashland. Others Visit Gary Clendennen, a student at Oregon State University in Corval lis, spent the Easter weekend with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Ted Myers on Rice Creek. His mother, Mrs. Ruth Clendennen of Bakers- field, Calif., is currently visiting the Myers. . Mrs. Bill Cooper of Winston en tered a hospital in Roseburg re cently due to a heart attack. She is reported to be in serious condition and is unable to receive visitors, although her condition is reported as slightly improved. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur McGuire ' drove to Eugene recently to attend to business pertaining to the Wood men Circle, of which they are field representatives. They remain ed overnight. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Rudzik and family of Sacramento, Calif., were visitors in Winston during the bast' er holiday. Thev visited their par ents, Mr. and Mrs. John Rudzik in Lookingglass and Mr. and Mrs. Don Sheppard of Winston. Mr. and Mrs. Willard Laurance of DiUard spent the recent holiday with their son, Barry Laurance and family in Redmond. C. C. Fosback, Postmaster at the DiUard Post Office, has been re leased from a hospital and is now recuperating at his home in uu lard. His condition is reported as much improved and he is able to be up and receive visitors. Gordon Cooper Jr., 22 times around the world sometime in May And still the end isn't fully in view. Flans already are underway for a possible Mercury capsule manned flight of perhaps 70 orbits this year and the experts say it is entirely feasible. Somewhere along the line, a fair degree of elasticity has set in. From three to 70 orbits is a long stretch. It is now apparent that Project Mercury, America's first man-into-space program, was on the ultra side of conservative when it started estimating the capabil ities of the space capsule two years ago. Open Throttle Only after the three-orbit trips of astronauts John a. Glenn jr. and J. Scott Carpenter last year did Mercury's scientists begin to open the throttle. Additions to the vital oxygen, food and,, fuel sup plies quickly made it possible for astronaut Walter M. Schirra Jr. to double the capsule's original performance estimate with a six orbit trip in October. But physically, . the Mercury cansule is the same rigid item that it was two years ago shaped roughly like an old-time television picture tube with barely enough room for an astronaut to breathe and push buttons and switches Price to Pay There is a price to pay for these extra orbits. The added ounces 01 fuel, food and water must come from somewhere. Since the maxi mum wnieht of the capsule is in flexible, the subtraction generally starts in the scientific experi- mpntft parried aboard. Which is another way of saying the longer the flight of a manned Mercury capsule, the less it can do on a scientific level wnicn con tradicts the idea of Project Mer-i-urv in the first dace. There is a breaking-off point where a Mercury capsule flight. from a coldly mathematical view point, ceases to be a thing of science and necomes instead an orbiting platform suitable for little more than an endurance contest on the part of the astronaut. The question is, where is that point? Even the scientists don't seem certain.
