THE SUXDAY OEEGOXUX, PORTLAND.- XOVEMBER23, 1919. 90 PUIS ASKED FOR FIRE PATROL Extension of Service to All Northwest Is Indorsed. WORK IS GOOD TRAINING Army Air Service Believes That Government Holdings Will Be Saved by Fire Spotters. attempted to fit disabled men into positions which they can handle." he said last ni&ht. "The men themselves recognize the readiness to help ana through the agency of the Industrial insurance commission we have been able to achieve more than a little in salvaging men thrown into the dis card through serious accidents which impaired their usefulness, although we have no fund for the work. "Congress has realized the import ance of the work and recently made an appropriation of $1,000,000 for in dustrial reconstruction purposes, the sum to be matched by the states, and we hope that the state of Washington will meet the opportunity offered. We have found in our work that the cases wherein we cannot score success are those in which the injured man haf become so discouraged through the months of bis illness that' his desire for useful citizenship has vanished. It is the necessity of keeping the minds of the men alert while they are under treatment that the government has recognized as all important in re-training soldiers, and our dream to approximate its efforts in this state eventually, in addition to pro viding means for re-educating indi viduals. ' If recommendations of the bead of the western department air service of the United States army are approved forest fire patrol by airplane of the timbered area of the entire northwest will be undertaken during the season of 1920, according to information brought out yesterday at a meeting of a special committee of the Western Korestry and Conservation associa tion, held in the association's offices in this city, at which plans were con sidered whereby the association might co-operate with the government air service. . . The Western Forestry and Conser vation association is an organization representing the timber interests in the five states of Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and California, and the committee of 15 members on the co-o;.eration of the association with the government in airplane pa trol is composed of the state forest ers, representatives from the federal forest service and representatives of the private lumber interests in each of the states. Thorough Patrol Indorsed. At the meeting yesterday the re port of Colonel H. H. Arnold, head of the air service for the western depart ment, which urges the establishment of a thorough airplane patrol for the Pacific northwest next year, was unanimously indorsed and steps were taken to provide machinery for the new work which protection agencies will have to undertake in order to insure the maximum of benefit being derived from the air patrol. The area to be covered by patrol embraces one-third of all the stand ing timber in the United States and the bulk of the timber owned by the United States government is in this --"-Brea. Plans for patrol contemplate the use of 90 airplanes with pilots and observers for each. These planes will be operated from three bases and nine sub-bases as follows: Bases, Mather field, Cal.; Camp Lewis, Wash., and Missoula, Mont.; sub-bases, Eu gene, Medford and La Grande. Oregon: Fresno and Red Bluff. Cal.: Spokane. y wash.; Boise, Idaho; Cody, Wyo., and iieiena, Mont. Each to Have Rndlo. Each ship will be equipped with wireless so that location of fires dis covered can be promptly sent to wire Jess receiving stations at bases and sub-bases and from these transmitted by telephone to the fire wardens. To furnish means for sending messages irom remote places in case of forced landings homing pigeons will be car ried by aviators on all flights. Men in the employ of private protection agencies win bo located at each base and sun -base to advise and co-oper ate with air service officials and maintain the closest relations be tween the air patrol and protection agencies. At the meeting yesterday the opin ion was expressed by those who have given the matter close study and have investigated the air patrols carried on in California and Oregon during the past season, that with greater per- lection in organization and better equipment enormous good can come from air patrol in saving timber from Xorest fires. Good Training Provided. It was also pointed out that the patrol of areas in which are located enormous government timber hold ings is particularly appropriate, since such patrol furnishes needed training for aviators, while at the same time It aids in the conservation of govern ment property. At the conclusion of the meeting the committee adopted the following resolution: After study of the results secured In protection of the forests of Oregon and California through air patrol the season of 1UI9, and realizing that perfection of the service, through added efforts on the part ol protection agencies and the air service, greater efficiency can be secured wo urge extension of air patrol to cover all rorests. federal, state and private, in western Wyoming. Montana, Idaho, Wash ington. Oregon and California, and pledge tJie fullest co-operation and assistance in m:i King sucn patrol a success. We believe the United States should taKe a leaning place amone the nations of the world in aeronautics, and further inai me use i airplanes to protect the nation's forests gives opportunity lor the training or pilots and observers while serving a purpose which fully justifies the expense involved. We heartily indorse the report of Colonel 11. H. Arnold, director of air service. training ana operations group, to the de partment air service of rice under date of November ft, liUi, and urge upon the war department the approval of this re port at an early date to the end that uteps may be immediately taken to per- li'i'i patroi oi our iore.sis oy airplanes dur ing the coming season. In this connection it is pointed out. that tlic worn revolving upon this committee in connection with the patrol is such that in order to carry out our part of the programme not meat ion ot the war de panraeni s intentions is necessary at an early date. We request that the signal corps. United States army, furnish, install and operate wireless telegraph receiving sets, S. C. R. !S A , at each base, sub-base and aux li ft ry landing field selected for the air pa trol in the states of Wyoming, .Montana, Idaho. Washington, Oregon and California In order that fires discovered by aviators on patrol may be promptly reported to protection agencies and steps for extin guishment of fires speedily taken. The chairman of this committee Is re quested to see that copies of these reso lutions are sent to the following: Secre tary of war. secretary of agriculture, chief of air service, U. S. A.; chief of signal office, U. S. A.; each member of the con grevsional delegations of the six states above mentioned; Colonel II. 11. Arnold; the forester, U. S. forest service. Washing ton, L. C. ; heads of all protective as sociations in the Pacific northwest. And that it b plainly indicated that the reso lution expresses the sentiment of all agen cies, federal, state and private, through out the northwest. 12 STUDENTS TO GO EAST University Delegates to Des Moines Conference Elected.
