SHELTER The ' Editor's Corner By Charles V. Stanton 15 r -'- 4 The) News-Review, Roieburg, Ore. Everyone Must Practice Fire Many people are prumblinjc about the Kloomy weather which has plagued July in the middle of the summer, but for esters look on it aR a merciful act of God. Probably nes'or before have foresters and forest fire fighting agencies been so edjfy about the possibilities of flaming destruction as they are this year. The reason, of course, is the millions of tons of dead Oct. 12 storm debris which litter the forest floor. At a joint meeting of Washington and Oregon foresters this week, it was point ed out that a single week of dry weather will push hundreds of thousands of acres of the stales' forests "toward the brink of flaming destruction." One of the purposes of the conference was to plead for full public cooperation and understanding1 during the fire sea son. As the balmy days of summer arrive, Courtesy Roseburg Police Chief John Truett has added a new thought lo the idea of Ore gon's visitor-host program. He says in conjunction with the program designed to welcome tourists to the stale that Ore gon drivers should also be extra courte ous. He said out-of-state lipense plates should be a signal lo put courtesy first. "If a car appears uncertain as to whether or not to turn, it may be be cause the driver is unfamiliar with the street or route he plans lo lake, and THE LIGHTER SIDE: 0ffi 3 Cans And Cartons Inspection Tough. By DICK WEST I WASHINGTON (UI'I) A qual ity that I greatly admire is straightforwardness. 1 like things laid out in one-two-three or der. Cards on the table. Open and above board. In short, I like the Agriculture Department s proposed new stand ards for food container inspection, They lake a dosvn-to-earlh, mince- no-words approach that is all too rare in the federal bureaucracy Suppose, for example, that you were Inspecting some loon con tainers and you noticed that one nf them was leaking. In your usual slipshod manner, you prob ably would mark it down as de fective and let it go at that. Well, sir,- under these new standards, you . wouldn't get by tiiat easily. If defects were found, you would evaluate them under a defect rating system. Then you would classify them as "minor," "major" or "critical." In my opinion they are neo classical in their logic and sim plicity. They go liko this: "A small dent in a metal can which doesn't affect its usability is a minor defect; a tear In a fibre carton which docs material ly affect its usability is a ma jor defect; and a leak in a can or far is a critical defect." , Now that is what 1 call laying it on the line. Once you have decided whether (lie defects are minor, major or i iiic-.il the next step is to de termine whether they are "relat ed defects" or "unrelated de fer!" Related detects are defined as "defects on a single container that are related to a simile cause." "A can may be a leaker and al so seriously rusted," the depart ment explains, but only one de fect is scored against it if "the rust condition can be attributed lo the leak. The defect that counts depends J "whichever condition Is the most serious." In this example, the can would be scored as a "leaker" rather than "seriously rusted."

The next step is to determine the "total defects," which are defined as "the sum of critical, major and minor defects." Then you establish the "accent- able quality level (AQL)," of tho containers and compare the mini- tier or defects in each rating with the "acceptance number (AC)" and the "rejection number (BK)." If the minor, major, critical and total defects do not exceed the AC of the AQL, the containers are accepted. That is all there is to it. I think the department ii to he congratulated for making it so clear. WASHINGTON WINDOW Sands Shift Under Base Of JFK Civil Rights Plan By LYLE C. WILSON United Prest International The sands are shifting beneath the foundations of President Ken nedy's civil rights proposals. There is, for example, the mat ter of compromising a moral is sue. There is the further matter nf imposing morality by law. These matters arise especially in consideration of that part of' the Kennedy proposal that would leg islate the desegregation of all places of public accommodation.

To pies nf Africa." THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1963 Vigilance the moisture will be literally sucked out of the forests. The result will be tinder dry fuel, in places 20 or 25 feet deep. Bernard L. Orell, who was chairman of the session, said he felt fires might be come unstoppable with the fantastic quantities of fuel piled up. Both public and private agencies have worked together in fully concentrating manpower and equipment to meet any threat of fire. But the recreationists who use the forest must be marshalled into the effort also. More areas than ever must be closed lo them this year during the hazardous dry season. But many areas will remain open, and a lot of hikers, campers and other outdoors lovers will be on the loose. They are the most unpredictable ones. Their vigilance is vital. A casually flip ped cigarette or a partially doused camp fire can be the spark which turns the forest into a holocaust. blowing a horn impatiently will not solve the problem," he says. Truett insists that the extra efforts lo he courteous and patient will make the out of state visitor's trip more enjoyable. Not missing a chance to put in a plug for traffic safely, he added that this courtesy and patience could "also help reduce summer traffic accidents." With tongue in cheek he added: "Who knows, if Oregon drivers practice cour tesy toward visitors, it may become a habit, and they might become more con siderate of fellow Oregonians."

But it seems not tn be good morals. If the Waldorf Astoria must be integrated as a matter of moral ity, at what point down the busi ness scale toward Mrs. Murphy's motel does morality cease to he the controlling factor so that practical politics may take over? That is a question the pratical politicians cannot answer. Question Still Unanswered They may soften its impact but they can't answer it. For exam- pie, Ally. (ien. Robert F.

Perhaps it is the puritan ethic again haunting the congressional conscience as when President Kennedy proposed to continue deficit spending to help finance a tax cut It is well known that the puritans were squares of the worst kind, but they believed in living within their income. They didn't believe in compromising moral issues. RETURNS FROM TRIP NEW YORK (l'PI)-Asst.

Kennedy Outshined DeGaulle In Visit over De Gaulle's continued ada- mailt refusal to consider any place for Great Britain within the European community. Rekindles German Faith In Paris it was conceded that Kennedy had rekindled West Ger man faith in U.S. leadership in an Atlantic alliance as opposed I lo De Gaulle's "third lorce" theory for a Europe militarily and economically independent of the United States sometime in the distant future. In fact, some said that the French-German accord which De Gaulle had seep as the founda tion stone for his own grand de sign for Europe, now had been reduced to a statement of good, intentions.

Well, of all the catastrophes that could happen at this disturbed hour I in world history, the worst would j be lo have our President assasina-l ted while on a good will lour of the older world. So, from any common sense standpoint, it must be con ceded instantly that whatever pre cautions may be taken to prevent such a world catastrophe are fully warranted, But this was a peculiar trip.

Pessimistic Economy Study Overlooks Areas Of Promise A very disturbing study, published in booklet form, re cently was made public. The study was made by Dr. Louis Hamill, instructor in geography at the University of Oregon. It was published by the university's Bureau of Business Research, Dr. Hamill paints a rather pessimistic picture of Ore gon's economic future as it concerns production and em-, ployment in the wood industry. My personal opinion is that the study is quite well done from the statistical standpoint, but the researcher, being expert in the field of geography, seemingly hasn't given much attention to history. Scientists and engineers often . deal exclusively with existing lac-'5 Per cent disease. We're bring tors cold statistics, formulas and ! inS in sP'l,.s. '? il s possible to gel tables. They quite frequently do not permit vision, or even anticipated prospects, to alter decisions based upon current patterns. Dr. Hamill's study, it seems to me, falls most definitely into that category. He spends a great deal of time showing that our supply of raw material in Western Oregon is be ing depleted. We are ovcrcutting our private timber at a startling rate. Soon we'll be limited to the volume available under the su stained yield allowable cut program established for federally controlled timber. i Projecting this depletion of raw , material into the future. Dr. Ha-1 mill arrives at the conclusion that , our Western Oregon area, now pre- j dominately supported by income from our forests, will suffer econo-1 micaliy.
