Miriam Adkins EDITORIAL M l M B ( s What Young Men Can Expect Young men of draft age are in a dither these days con cerning their future, and rightly so, for they don’t know what kind of plans to make. The question faces them, "Should I continue my schooling or should I get a job and wait until I get drafted—if I can get a job?” Recently we received a release from Edward L. Clark, president of Multnomah College in Portland, which gave a fairly complete summary of what present and prospective college students can expect. It is dated August 15, 1950. and some of the regulations may be changed in the future, but here is the way things now stand: 1.

Careless smokers and stupid campers together ac counted for more than one-fourth of the state's fires. This we learned from a small booklet sent out by the American Forest Products Industries, Inc., a non-profit or ganization supported by the country's leading wood-depen dent industries. The figures disclose that smokers accounted for 442 forest fires and campers, 276. Total number of fires on protected lands in 1949 totaled 2.603. Those who like to compare statistics may be interested to learn how many fires were started by other causes: Lightning, 1,096; railroads, 59; debris burning, 167; incendi ary, 110; lumbering, 242; and miscellaneous, 211. J. C. McClellan, AFPI forester, has said, “All Americans must be made aware of the importance of fire prevention. Every woods fire that burns destroys resources this country needs to remain strong and prosperous.” Whenever we cause a forest fire with a discarded cig arette or neglected campfire or some other careless act, we not only are biting the hand that is feeding us, we also are kicking the guy in the shins at the same time.—K.C.

His suggestion of a solution was that the government build some freight cars for emergency use in times of peak loading. I am now having a bill drafted which will carry out that general idea.

It is now pretty well determined that no new legislation other than what may be necessary to deal with strictly emergency and thus far unforseen problems will be considered. Members who live rea sonably near Washington will be able to go to their homes for a couple of weeks but I expect I shall have to stay here until some con ference reports an* completed.

The outlook has been, and still is, discouraging. It has become a national problem now—not just a problem local to the Pacific States. Recently I introduced a resolu tion in the House to direct the House Committee Interstate and Foreign Commerce to investi gate the car shortage, and after investigation and study bring to Congress its suggestions for re lieving the shortage. Whether or not the House takes formal action on this resolution, the Committee has been studying the matter. I presented the resolution more for the purpose of attracting the at tention of all of the membership to the problem. As a matter of fact, I appeared before our Subcom mittee on Transportation back in January and requested full scale study of the car supply prob- len by the Committee. There seem ed no need for action then but two days of hearings were hold on the subject this spring. Nothing much developed from the hearings OREGON’S GREAT STATE FAIR SEPT. 4,.. 10 STARTS LABOR DAY • PRIZE LIVESTOCK ON EXHIBITION >4-11 AND I FA STATE I HAMPIONSHIPS • RODEO * HORSE SHOW EVERY NIGHT • HORSE RAI ING DAILY • WATER FOLLIES OF 1950 - Gigantic aquacade and Stage Extravaganza • FREE MIDWAY ATTRACTIONS She’s a streamlined cannonball—the PACE CAR of the 500-mile Indianapol Race!
