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
