Shirley Jackson Attends S. O. C, Finds Summer
Business Training Valuable Preparation

Working towards a two-year
diploma in secretarial science at
Southern Oregon College in Ash
land is Shirley Jackson. Shirley,
a graduate this past spring of St.
Mary's Academy, Grass Valley,
Calif., says she is finding the
work somewhat difficult at this
stage and particularly as she is
required to take a number of
courses not strictly in the sec
retarial line. She does feel, how
ever, that the high school to col
lege transition has been eased by
3 months training during the past
summer at Robertson School of
Business in Klamath Falls, where
she studied shorthand,' typing,
and accounting. There, she re
lates, she received a good deal of
individual attention and was able
to progress as fast as she wanted.
She believes this experience has
helped her considerably at S.O.C..
particularly in her shorthand and
typing courses.
Other courses Shirley is taking
are English composition, speech,
and personal hygiene. These non
secretarial courses, she advises,
she doesn't particularly like,
while conceding they may prove
helpful.
"I like to take business courses
and in college I have" to take
other courses. English composi
tion deals with writing articles.
It doesn't have anything to do
with sentence structure. How
ever, I suppose it will help me in
my career later on in writing and
composing letters and such as
I will have to do in my work."
"I don't like to get up in front
of people and give speeches but
I think it will help a lot in my
career, giving me more ease and
enabling me to talk to people
better."
Shirley is looking forward to
more of a concentration of busi
ness courses in future terms, in
cluding business law and account
ing. As far as the school is con
cerned: "I think Southern
Oregon is fabulous. The whole
campus is so friendly and the
staff are all so helpful to every
one." Shirley states that she has not
yet indulged in extra-curricular
activities at S.O.C. : "I didn't
think I should put any emphasis
on social life yet. Maybe next
year." However, she is contem
plating joining Newman Club, an

RESEEDING PROGRESS,
The Williamson River Unit,
containing an estimated 6,270.000
board feet of salvage timber was
sold on Xov. 4. 1959 by the U. S.
National Hank as trustee for the
remaining area to Clay Thomas,
at the minimum price.
This negotiated sale was held
in accordance with a provision in
the original advertisement that if
no bids were received, the trustee
could negotiate a sale.
The Calimus Siding Unit, also
available for negotiation received

Salvage Unit Sold
Modoc Lumber Company was
the successful bidder on one of
two salvage. units put up or sale
bv the Land Sales Office on Xov.
12. 1959.
Thirty-six dollars and eighty
cents was the price bid by Modoc
Lumber Co. for pouderosa and
sugar pine which topped the
$28.60 bid by the next highest
bidder. Modoc paid $2.50 for
other species.
The unit purchased by Modoc
Lumber co. involved an estimated
710 acres of timberland contain
ing about two million board feet
of pouderosa and sugar pine and
150,000 board feet of lodgepole
and other s'pecies. The advertise
ment specified that no bids less
than $26.00 per thousand for pou
derosa and sugar pine and $2.50
per thousand for lodgepole and
other species would be considered.
Xo bids were received on the
larger unit and it was indicated
by Earle Wilcox that this may be
broken up into smaller parcels.
"It is tentatively planned," he
said, "to divide the unit into two
units, with the appraised value
adjusted to the most recent
lumber price quotation." "We ad
vertise," he said, "on a relatively
short term basis and hope to sell
at the earliest practicable date."
The unsold unit identified as
the Cave Mountain Hum Logging
Unit con tains approximately
2360 acres.

no proposals although several
operators had shown some inter
est in it. According to the IT. S.
National Hank trust officials, "It
was felt that it, was impossible to
sell this unit as a whole at the
minimum price and so the unit
was broken into sub-units, two of
which have been sold by negotia
tion". One sub-unit involving
some four and one-half million
feet was sold to Hill Wampler at
the minimum price. Another sub
unit, involving over 0,5(X),(XX)
board feet, was sold to Illy Log
ging Co. on Xov. ! for the min
imum price. "About 3.5(X).(XX)
feet remains to be sold in the
other sub-unit," stated the trust
officers. The trust officers indic
ated that the salvage timber will
have to be logged not later than
July 1. WHi), if the timber is ex
pected to be saved.
The trust officers also report
that "the economic unit Xo. 30
sale has been suspended in order
that Simplot-Devoe may utilize
burned timber. Operations will
resume there as soon as they
complete their salvage ope ra
tions". About 1,WX) acres have already
been seeded to pouderosa pine,
and 320 acres to a mixture of pine
and white fir, in the trustee's re
forestation program.
Some two-thousand acres of
the Solomon Hutte area was se
lected for reforestation because it
was felt it had the most favorable
moisture conditions. It was seed
ed Xov. 16 and 17, in less than
two full days. According to the
trust officials, "When different
areas are seeded depends on ap
parent ability of land to grow
young trees, as ascertained from
reproductivity of land before the
fire. It is on a priority basis."
The seeding was done by Per
petual Forest, luy., a Washington
State firm, at a cost of $9.10 per
acre. Using a 'helicopter, they
first flew the entire selected area
