Deschutes National Forest of ficials reported rangers had not ed a number of camping parties moving into the woods over the week end. These hunters were oeing aavised of the cancellation of all campflre permits and ask ed to set up camp in established camp grounds. However, it is be coming evident that not all par ties can be moved Into the posted grounas, u tney do not wish to move. The restriction they face, however, is that they must not ouua open, ures outside of design nated areas. Not Affected Not affected by the no-camp-fire ruling are hunters who set up their headquarters in trailer houses, or who do not use open campures. All hunters are beine cautioned that the three-rule restrictions are still effective and will remain effective until December 31, un less lifted by the governor. These specify there must be no smok ing while traveling, that campflre permits must be obtained lor camps outside - designated, areas and that each party must cany fire control equipment a bucket, axe and shovel. Because all campflre permits have been voided, the second rule Is not effective. Foresters report that conditions in wooded areas are serious, from a fire standpoint. Adding to the hazard is frost-killed grass and weeds In lower areas that now constitute a highly Inflammable carpet. The 1952 deer season had been scheduled to open on Wednesday, Oct. 1.

Peterson was in troduced by Alva C. Goodrich. Earlier, Goodrich introduced local and state Republican leaders. Governor Peterson charged that the prosperity about which the op position party is talking is not a sound prosperity. "It is a prosper ity built on war and blood," he declared.

Cobb was world famous a man who confessed he always "got an Itchy feeling" sitting at his office desk and had to get back to rac ing. Last week, the Queen Mother Elizabeth came to see him at Loch Ness and wish him luck In his record-breaking attempt. The attempt had been delayed for al most a month by bad weather and difficulties with the boat. The sleek speedboat had reach ed Its peak speed and had flashed over the starting po'm of a mea sured mile course on the smooth surface of Loch Ness at 205 mph when horrified spectators saw it s iddenly dive and break apart.
