The meeting will be held in Rooms 6 and 7 of the State Capitol Hldg. and will get under way at 10:00 A. M. on Xov. 6. The confab will be a follow-up on five local area meetings which were held throughout the State during October, the primary pur pose of which was "to take a critical and informative loo!; at the problem and importance of increasing production from small woodlands . . .". As explained by D. L. Phipps, State Forester, there are 36.111 small, forest landowners in Oregon who con trol over one-half of the State's 10 million acres of commercial privately-owned forest area. He points out that "roughly one-half of Oregon's small forest areas are producing less than half of their capacity". At the statewide meeting in Salem, ideas and comments of small forest landowners are to be recorded and formulated hlto a report indicating their thinking and that of other interested indi viduals on the small forest own ership problem. All small forest landowners are urged to be pres ent or represented at the meet ing in order to express their thinking on the problem. Funds Lacking Legal Claimants To Be Held In Special Deposits With the removal of restric tions from personal property in Aug. 13, 1958, government regu lations relating to individual Indian money 4 will no longer be applicable, according to a mem orandum by II. L. Moore, As sistant Area Director, dated July ' 30, 1958. Any balance remaining in these accounts will be held in special deposits until they can be disbursed to the individual who is entitled to receive them under the laws of the state in which the person resides. "Generally", Moore continued, "they require that the funds can be paid only to a trustee or legal guardian of the property of the, minor. In the absence of such a trustee or legal guardian of the property, funds will be held in special deposits for approxim ately one year during which an individual who is legally entitled may claim them. Unclaimed de posits after one year, depending upon the curcumstances, may be deposited into the Treasury of the United States to the account of persons whose whereabouts arc known or unknown, as ap propriate, in the name of the in dividual. They will be held there until a proper claim is made." -0- CORRECTION In the questions and answers portion (pages 3 and 4) ..of the Sept.

' Sup't Comments On Indian Rights Statement Appearing in the ' Sept.. 29, 1958, issue of NEWS NOTES, a publication of the Indian Rights Association, Philadelphia, Pa., was the following passage: "It is very good that this great na tural resource is to be handled with proper conservation prac tices, but the apparent indiffer ence to the needs of the Klamath Indians themselves is appalling. No provision has been made for their protection in handling the assets to be suddenly turned into their hands when the forest is sold. No plan of economical v guardianship for minors and so called "non-competents" has been . developed. The expense of indi vidual guardians under the state courts would take an unreason able share of the estates of the: wards. Either Federal protection for th ose needing such service or a plan for guardianship through private agencies that will be both adequate and not too expensive should be worked out." Klamath Atrencv Sun't. Elmn Miller wished to make the fol lowing comment on the passage : "Nine-hundred and, eleven trusts were established for the manage ment and conservation of the withdrawing estates of the Klam ath Indians. Of this number 132 were for adults, 779 for minors. Each withdrawing Klamath min or had a trust established for the protection of his estate." ' : o Seniors Invited To Contact Ed.
