Ibo 9tcusHcukt Who'd You Ever Lick?" . The Editor's Corner By Charles V. Stanton KaiioFiai r aae L - 1 mm-, A 4 The Newi-Review, Roseburg, Oregon has more timber now than it hud 11 years ago. This startling fact is described as the "quiet revolution" in Oregon by a new Drejron forest facts book released recent !y by the; Oregon Committee of Ameri :an Forest Products Industries. It says, "Oregon is in the midst of a t'ast transition from an economy based in logging old-growth forests to one based on growing, harvesting and re drawing continuous crops of timber." The booklet, called "Oregon : Transi tion in Timber," reports that the state's 'storehouses" of standing sawtimber on inmmercial forest land now exceeds 4(i9 jillion board feet, up from the 1952 gov Jrnment figure which showed a net vol utin of about 434 billion feet. This means, despite increasing de nands on the forests, intensified iiuin igement and advanced technology have nought about an even bigger supply of :imber. It points out that timber supply in Oregon appears to involve "a dynamic, rather than a static, factor of measure ment." In other words, the estimators seem to be, using n "rubber yardstick." The reason for this is that the dividing ine between wood which is usable for products and wood which is not, is an :ver-changing one. This can be credited :o the advancing technology which has nude possible utilization of more and wire of what had previously been con sidered waste. "We are getting more limber from ;ho same forests by pre-logging, relog ing, salvage logging and thinning," the pamphlet also explains. NEWS COMMENTARY Betancourt Changing Times By JAMES R. WHELAN .. CARACAS, Venciuola (UPI) Tlomulo Betancourt Is n symbol of changing times. Once, nearly 10 years ago, Dot ancourt was sniffed at by tlio U.S. Stato Department as a "rad ical leftist," Now 55 and approaching the end of his term as president of Venezuela, ho has won tho ( ac claim of tho United States. When ho was received at the White Mouse last Feb. 10 Presi dent Kennedy told him: "You represent all that we admire in a political leader." Years ago Detaneourt flirted with Marxism, but when he went to Washington Kennedy called him the "number one enemy of inter national communism in this hem isphere." The United States, impressed with the reforms he hus achieved in always - explosive Venezuela, now is reported considering him as the man needed to help bolster the sagging Alliance For Progress program once his term expires next March. Nothing Of Futurt IU'tancmirl has said nothing about post-presidential ambitions (under the constitution he would not even be eligible to run for another 10 years) beyond expres sing the wish to lake an extend ed vacation and do some writing. Hut he long has been an upen and i fervent admirer of the alliance and had launched Venezuela on major social and economic re forms envisioned by the alliance before President Kennedy an nounced the program, lletaneourt's time in govern ment so tar have been a succession of crises lilt!

Also contributing to the increase are the improved methods for protection against fire, diseases and insects. Losses Line to mortality have been reduced. The big bug in the ointment is the fact that timber harvests are still more heavily weighted toward private lands, which constitute less than 40 per cent if the commercial forest land in the Uale. For example, in 1900, private lands produced 58.8 per cent of the total tim jer harvest. But even this cloud has a silver lin ing, the pamphlet reports. It says the iroportion of harvest from private lands has fallen steadily since 1952, while the proportion drawn from public lands has risen. These trends are particularly signifi :anl to Douglas County because it ranks it the top in forest acreage in the state. It boasts 2,084,000 acres. This is 8 per :ent of the stale's total, from which lbottt 14'2 Pit cent of the state's total innual log harvest is secured. Every stride in research, technology ml management spells a stronger eco nomic base for the county.

In some parts of the country, particularly in the South, we find corn com peting with wheat. Corn "likker" is a popular local bev erage in some parts of the country. But that isn't the only competition wheat is getting from corn. A propaganda bulletin, South African Summary, design ed to "keep Americans up-to-date with news events in the Republic of South Africa," tells us that the National Nu trition Institute of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research in Pretoria, has come up with a variety of flour manufactured from corn. The institute, it is stated, is making bread from a corn flour which "looks and tastes like the ordinary wheat variety."

The formula, it is true, is of only one part corn and three parts wheat, yet it is reported to be as while and finely textured as any baker's loaf. Blindfolded people couldn't tell the difference between all-wheat and part corn flour bread. The big factor, however, is that the new loaf can be made for a half cent less than regular bread. When one counts the number of loaves of bread made and sold commercially that one-half cent amounts to a lot of money. It's Evil Here Of course, that's important to South Atrica.
