A ll 6th and 7th grade students
from the Langlois, Port O r-
lord, Ophir, Gold Beach, and
Pistol River schools had an
opportunity to study forestry
conservation during a tour of
Foster Brothers tree farm at
Langlois last week.
Students were Instructed In
seven phases of conservation
and forestry practices as they
toured through the woods. These
included fire control, w ildlife,
commercial f o r e s t products,
tree planting, tree identification
and forest soils. This type of
tour fo r 6th and 7th grade
students was started several
years ago and Is now held in
most counties in Oregon.
Instructors for the tour were
from the U. S. Forest Ser­
vice, State Department of F or­
estry, U. S. Plywood Corpor­
ation, Bureau of Land Manage­
ment, Game Commission,
Conservation Service, O.S.U.
Extension Service, and Coos

State Parks Supt. Harold Schick
this week in letters to Rep.Car!
Back and JiyCettes. Schick said
that because of the rocky nature
of the soil it would be impos­
sible to get proper effluent dis­
posal. For this reason, he added,
County Sanitarian Jack Wright
has also recommended against
installations of rest stations.
This is contrary to a verbal
notice from Sen. Dick Chapman
last week that rest rooms would
d e fin ite ly be installed at the
park. Chapman said he had the
promise from ?. M. Stephensen,
assistant highway engineer, and
indicated that only a couple of
points had to be cleared up be­
fore installation. These points
were type of fa c ility ; flush or
chemical; depending on a pos­
sible deeding of Battle Rock to
the state, as w ell as a couple of
parcels of c ity and private land
adjacent to th e present park,
Chapman said.
Schick, in his reply to Back,
also said that i t m ight be pos­
sible for the state to donate their
portion of the park land to the
c ity in order for them to have
complete ownership of the area
for devel opm ent of wh ate ver f a-
c ilitie s are desired.
He further said bethought an­
other possibility, the only one
he could come up w ith, would
be for the c ity , in cooperation
w ith local clubs, to establish
rest ro o m fa c ilitie s at some
other location that would have
suitable drainage.
JayCettes' h o p e s , however,
h a v e not dim m ed, they said.
One r e a s o n is that Highway
Commission Chairman C le n n
Jackson told them he was not
aware of the reported conditions
at the Park and that he w ill re­
fer the m atter to the Parks D iv­
ision w ith a request that the sit­
uation be investigated at once.

The old argument of whether
c ity employees should be re quir­
ed to reside w ithin the c ity wae
brought up again, thus tim e by
p o l i c e comm issioner Adolph
Windmaiser. The commissioner
said both o ff.ce n had approach­
ed him aboutmovingoutside the
c ity because of housing prob­
lems.
Windmaiser said he was op­
posed to employees liv in g out
of the city but that because one
employee, F r a n k Morris, a l­
ready did, the precedent was set.
Patrolman Bob Montague said
he agreed, if the employee was
g o in g to buy a home, but he
said it could force a hardship to
demand city residency before
he could locate adequate hous­
ing for his fa m ily. C hief Hight
said he was faced w ith a sewer
problem at his present location
and had located housing just out
of the city.
Alderman Orris S m ith said he
agreed w ith Windmaiser because
of the nature of the officers jobs,
as opposed to M orris’ d u t ie s .
Peterson said he fe lt an ordin­
ance should be drawn that ‘re ­
quired employees to liv e in the
c ity . St. C lair fe lt there should
be consideration on both view ­
points and Hahn said his only
objection was to employees us­
ing c ity vehicles for transpor­
tation back and forth. The city
attorney said there was no c ity
regulation against liv in g out of
the city.
A m otion by Windmaiser to
perm it employees to reside out
of to w n for a period o f nine
months, then move in town or
be released, was voted down. A
second m otion, to perm it both
officers the privilege of liv in g
out oi town, tem porarily, was
amended to include Frank M or-
ris and pasted.
Windmaiser also reported that
the police department for the
month o f September had found
12 doors open, file d 10 m iscel­
laneous complaints, issued 19
speeding citations and collected
$700 in fines and forfeitures.
SPEED CHANGED
The State Speed Control de­
partment adopted the c ity 's re­
commended speed through the
c ity on Highway 101. The new
speed lim it is 30 m. p. h. from
150 feet north of the c ity to ISO
southof the city, w ith a co n tin ­
ued 20 m. p. h. l i m i t in the
school zone.
SCHOOL CROSSING
A request by the c ity to change
the grade school crossing zone
from the north comer of 12th St.
to the south comer was approved
by the State Highway Dept. How­
ever, action on the proposal was
tabled because of a reported ob­
je ctio n by the school district,
w hich w ill be explained by le t­
ter from the s c h o o l, Mayor
Bates said.
