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. Although young men are required to register for
Selective Service upon reaching the age of 18. under present
regulations a student who registers in college before reaching
his 18th birthday could expect to complete two years of

It may be difficult for some people to believe, but the
small burning ash on a discarded cigarette butt was respon
sible for more forest fires in Oregon last year than any other
cause except lightning.
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

Aside from necessary time spent
on the floor of the House during
the consideration of legislation,
which always takes first priority
in this work, I have been devoting
a great deal of my time these last
several weeks attempting to help
promote some improvement in the
car shortage. 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
