THE SENTINEL. CUTTAGE GROVE. OREGON Forest Service Trys Use of Airplanes For Fire Control The possibilities of lowering fire fighters from airplanes in the many inaccessible areas on the national forests are being explor ed by the U. S. forest service, ac cording to regional forester Lyle F Watts. Few site* for binding fields exist in the more mountain ous parts, but often meadows or open hillsides can be found where fire fighters can, perhaps, be safe ly landed. If this should prove to be practicable, many hours travel time can be saved and more fires stopped while they are small. The experiment is carried out by professional parachute Jump ers. 'rhe parachutes are especial ly designed, with flaps for steer ing so that the jumper can direct his course to a S| »t suitable for landing. A part oi the equipment is a long, light rope, with which to get down If the 'chute lodges in a tree. Protection suits of strong canvass, with helmets and gloves attached and metal rein forcements, have been designed. If the professionals demonstrate that this method of transporta tion can be used to advantage, se lected fire fighters will be trained to land from planes. The purpose is to overlook no possibility of improving fire control practice and to take advantage of any de velopment that has possibilities of 1 success. r * THE wheels ar* turning st the bl* gearshift on th* steering column, Ford Roug* plant and off the a« a controlled ventilation ayatem. aembly linea are coifiing these new Unproved double acting hydraulic Ford V-8 car» for 1940 IH**tMt*d I* «hock abaorbera and Sealed-Beam th* front end of the deluxe Ford \ 1 beadllghta.
