Adults Could Also Benefit From Tours
'A fine example of some training in
the field, in conjunction with "book learn
ing" is the series of school forestry tours
being conducted on an annual basis now
under the sponsorship of the Douglas
County extension office.
Bob Bradley, Douglas County exten
sion forester, who probably did most to
launch the program for school young
sters, reports that a total 509 children
took part in the tours this fall. More of
the tours are scheduled next year.
These school forestry tours have been
held elsewhere in Oregon since the early
Fifties, but only in recent years has the
program shown rapid growth. At pres
ent, nearly all the counties in Western
Oregon and a number in Eastern Oregon
stage such tours annually. They came to
Douglas County in 1961.
The sponsorship and educational re
sponsibilities for the tours belong to the
Oregon State University Extension Serv
ice, but it is the cooperation from a host
of other agencies and companies which
make them successful. During the fall
series of tours, representatives from all
forestry and conservation agencies and

Caution Paramount Need For Hunters
All roads appear to be leading to the
woods today, as the annual "call of the
wild" for hunters becomes impossible to
contain.
A lot of hunters will be returning
proudly to their homes with handsome
animals to end a happy trip. But for
others, the trip will lead to tragedy.
The only answer is caution. Some will
die of heart attacks if they don't re

THE LIGHTER SIDE:
Geographic Society
Now Celebrating
By DICK WEST
WASHINGTON (UPI) Let us
join today in extending felicita
tions to the National Geographic
Magazine, which is observing its
75th anniversary this month.
Actually, the first issue of the
Geographic, which came out in
1888, carried an October date.
But, as everyone knows maga
zines dated October are published
in September, if not in August or
July.
So now Is the time celebrate.
The NaUonal Geographic Soci
ety, which publishes the maga
zine, has long been approximate
ly my favorite! institution, give or
take home cooking and Marlcne
Dietrich's legs.
In a moment of levity, I once
described ihel society as "a non
profit educational and scientific
association dedicated to proving
that the female members of cer
tain tribes in Africa wear no bras
sieres." Much More
In reality, of course, the soci
ety is much more than that. Its
sphere of interest embraces any
thing that walks, talks, swims,
crawls, flies or just sits there and
does nothing.
I'll confess, however, that an
occasional glimpse of the femi
nine rib cage in its natural state
was what first attracted me to
the magazine in my youth.
'I became a Geographic reader
tiller my parents imposed an em
bargo on my subscription to
"Capt. Billy's Whizbang." The
Geographic being a highly re
spected publication, I could ogle
its photographs of tropical dccol
lctage with impunity.
The world-wide explorations, ex
peditions, studies and investiga
tions sponsored by the society arc
legion. Some day I hope it will
underwrite a study of why maga
zines dated October arc published
in September, if not in August or
July.
Amazing Results
Such a project would by no
means be outside its scope. When
it is not contributing to Peary s
visit to the North Pole, or to a
scaling of alt. Evcret, the Geo
graphic pokes around in obscure
nooks and crannies with amazing
results.
Here arc some of the things I
have learned from the Gcograph
ic over the years:

Opinions From Readers
Reader Calls For More
Information On Taxes
To The Editor:
In regard to higher taxes, some
things arc self-evident. We have
an increase in state population. In
spite of the fact that this would
mean an increase in the cost of
administration, the cost should not
be greater for each taxpayer be
cause there should be more tax
payers to pay the taxes. As a mat
ter of fact, efficient administra
tion cannot but help be "cheaper
by the dozen" and a lessened
amount of tax per taxpayer should
accrue.
Because of inflation, there should
be an increase in the cost of ad
ministration but this generally be
ing offset by taxes on higher
wages, a graduated scale being
used, a change in basic tax policy
should not be affected.
Sonic of us taxpayers do not
wish to sec educational opportun
ities and standards lowered; we
do not wish to sec any unfortunate
go hungry but we do confess dis
satisfaction at an increased num
ber of able bodied people seeking
an easy way out on welfare at
the expense of the working taxpay
er. Rightfully or wrongly, we sus
pect unnecessary increasing ex
penditures in flowering bureau
cracy. Heretofore, we have not
registered open complaint.
We plead ignorance unashamed
ly, knowing that ignorance is only
a lack of knowledge, and not the
lack of capability of understand
ing. We need information.
Some useful information would
be:
1) Total number of college stu
dents enrolled last biennium as
compared with the present bienni
um correlated with the general
population of the date in both two
year periods.
2) Cost of government per aver

shared in planning and conducting the
tours.
This support is proof enough that the
program is considered worthwhile. The
purpose of the program is to show young
people why the forest industry is so im
portant to everyone and how each of
them can help keep it producing best.
The tours include on-the-scene explan
ations of methods of promoting the opti
mum growth of timber through thinning,
pruning and reforestation, the economic
values of timber to the county, the for
est's role as a habitat for wildlife, soils
which contribute to best growth of trees
and even something about the forest's
greatest enemy, fire.
The program is conducted in Douglas
County at sites in four areas of the coun
ty to allow as many children as possible
to take part. Both children and industry
representatives have received the pro
gram enthusiastically.
Now, the next thing we need is a
similar type of tour program for the
adults, because even though we are in
the midst of the great timber country, an
amazingly great number of adults have
little idea what it all means.

Still others will make a flaming torch

they don't observe every safety device in
handling the fires they start for cooking
or warmth and the cigarettes they smoke.

Low-Rent Housing Called !
Life Saver For Elderly
To The Editor:
It is with mixed emotions that
we write this letter to correct .Mr.
W. K. Peery's erroneous assump
tions as contained in his Letter to
the Editor.
Kront our experience, it appears
that Mr. Pcery speaks from little
or no knowledge about the housing
program for the elderly.
We have found the low-rent hous
ing program to be the only means
by which we, who are living on a
low retirement income, social se
curity, pensions, assistance from
relatives or part-time work, can
make ends meet.
It might lie of interest to your
readers to know thai we elderly
occupy more than 13 of the units
in Rosewood Park Homes. Also
thai our ages range from 62 to 83,
and 80 per cent have sources of
income other than welfare.
We. who have approached the
age of understanding, do not feel
that we deserve any special treat
ment, but we do think that the
people of our great country do have
a better understanding of the proh -
lems of the aging and a more gen -
ertius heart than Mr. Peery.

Sales Tax Draws Favor
In Trial Ballot At Fair

The poll was conducted by the

Oregon is the only state that

There are 37 states with a sales

of the $22.1 billion total state tax

their major source of revenue.
I New York collected 58 per cent
of its operating money tins way.
Oregon was next with 54 per cent.
Taxes on gaosline were the top

One of the appeals of a sales
tax is that it produces a huge
amount of money, but does so less
painfully. Instead of getting an an

taxpayers pay pennies every day

DEAR ABBY: I could write a
book about my nine years of mar
ried life. My husband had a very
unhappy childhood, and he's been
taking it out on me and the chil
dren. He tried to kill me once. He
choked me until I was unconscious
and then left me for dead. Not
one to hold a grudge, I forgave
him and he promised to do better.
Then he lost his temper again and
chased me with a butcher knife. I
had to run to the neighbors for
help. It was then that my clergy
man explained that my husband
was sick and I should stick by
him in sickness and in health. My
husband promised to see a head
doctor, but he keeps stalling.
Abby, I can't sleep for worrying
what he will pull next. I have five
little ones who hide when they
see him coming down the road.
Can you help me?
FRIGHTENED BUT FAITHFUL
DEAR FAITHFUL: Your "faith
fullness" is commendable, but
while your husband is "stalling,"
they could be burying you. Don't
live in fear with this man another
i day. Your local police can provide
! you with, protection and force your
husband to submit to a mental ex
; amination.
' DEAR ABBY: I work and draw
a good salary. My problem is one
of my bosses. While he is a flirt
with all the girls, he singles me
i out. If there is a disagreement, he
takes my side. I have ignored him
for a long time, but I feel attract-

I is he. I only think about him
when I am around him. I love my
