Port Orford* i Troop 95, Boy Scoutsof America,has m et with no success in their search for an organization to sponsor them, It was learned today, Mrs. Frank Knottlngham, who hai been donating her tim e and home to those beys interested in the Scouts, said she had been contacted by police chief Bar ney Issel who said the police de p a r t m e n t would spe-wor the troop and he w o u ld serve as Scout master. This generous of fer fe ll through, she said, when she was told that the department was too small to qualify as a sponsor. And, further, that chief Issel would not be approved as master by Scout director Wayne Thomas, who said Issel didn't have enough tim e to devote to the Joo because of his police duties. And that's the way it stands. The Troop cannot be chartered without a sponsor. The sponsor can be a club or organization, or a group of parents or other individuals formed specifically for that purpose, Mrs. Knotting- ham -said. Flans for the July 4th com m u n i t y celebration remained shaky this week with the can cellation and rescheduling of the annual meeting and elec tion. This w ill make the third attempt to entice association members out of hibernation and into the spirit of the celebra tion, said chairman Paul Peter son. The annual show was origin ated during the Oregon Centen nial In 1959, drawing capacity crowds then, and In following years. Each subsequent celebra tion has met with less and less enthusiasm, h o w e v e r , e v e n though the show has never ended in the red The annual celebration pro vides a day or two a year when Port Orford puts on the " dog" and plays host to their own, as well as hundreds of visitors. Now, It would appear that some resi dents would rather forget the whole thing, or celebrate every second year. That's the easy way to hide a lack of community spirit, or excuse the face that you're dying on the vine and don't want anyone to know It, Peterson commented. We shouldn't give up that easy. That's an admission of defeat and we're not defeatests. Timber Cut Sets Record Tim ber harvested in the N a tional Forests of Oregon and Washington in 1962 reached an a ll-tim e high total of 4, 404- 000, 000 board feet, it was re ported today by J. Herbert Stone, Regional Forester, U. S. Forest Service. In 1961, a total of 3, 808, - 000,000 board feet was cut, and In 1960 the total was 3, 564, - 000,000. T otal value of the 1962 harvest was $80. 835, 240. The annual sustained-yield allowable cut for the Pacific Northwest Region recently was revised upward to 4,267,000,000 board feet. Since harvest vo l umes are averaged out over a period of years, the higher har vest figure for 1962 does not violate the principle of sustain ed yield, Stone explained. Tim ber sold in 1962 amounted to 4 ,1 7 8 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 board feet, which Is also an increase over the past years. Volume of tim ber sold varies from the amount cut during the year because the period In which a sale of timber The home of Mrs. Marie Ger is cut varies from a few weeks hardt w ill be the meeting place or months to several years.
