orest Practices Committee to meet this month
The three Regional Forestry Practices
Committees that advise the state Board
of Forestry will meet soon to review forest
practices rules relating to reforestation
and application of chemicals on Oregon’s
forest lands.
. T.he State Forester currently specifies
limitations of temperature, humidity,
wind and other factors that must be met
before chemicals may be applied to forest
lands in Oregon. The committees will
discuss whether to recommend that those
limitations be spelled out in detail in the
forest practices rulebook, rather than be
administered by the State Forester
through a directive as they are now.
The committees will also consider
whether the rules should be changed to
make the forest landowner responsible for
seeing that lands are reforested after
logging, rather than having the forest
operator responsible as the rules now
require.

This year Cathlamet Little Theatre for
its eleventh annual melodrama will stage
“The Drunkard” or “The Fallen Saved.”
This famous old play has been performed
world wide since its first appearance some
135 years ago.
Once again the battle against demon
rum and all other intoxicating spirits will
be staged on June 21, 22 and 23, at 8 pm
in the old gym in Cathlamet. Melodrama
buffs will find a lot of entertainment
waiting for them and a great opportunity
to hiss, boo and cheer as the plot presents
all the tried and true characters; a
dastardly villian, a poor but honest
widow, manly hero and supporting cast of
talended thespians.
The old gym is again transformed back
to the Gay Nineties era with sawdust on
the floor and walls covered with old
fashioned posters created by local artists,
reserved seats ($3.00) at tables, general
admission $2.50, and waiters to serve you
cool (but not intoxicating) beverages.
The production is directed by Alice C.
Irving and Mitchell Doumit. Mickey
Cooper is music director.
