PACIFIC NORTHWEST FOR HIM
'Underwater Lumberjack' Feels
Diving Is Safer Than Hollywood
By VIRGINIA MacPHERSON
Hollywood, Calif.. Nov. 2 U.R Hollywood . . . it's great place
for the movie stars, an "underwater lumberjack" laid today.
But you can give HIM the bottom of Puget Sound.
One week in the movie lideshow has Bob Forrest dizzy. He's
itching to get back to Port Angeles, Wash., where he makes a
-slightly damp living diving for
sunken logs in the Sound.
"Everybody's going around in
circles here," he said. "The
Chamber of Commerce pursues
tourists , . . tourists pursue mo
vie stars . . . and movie stars
pursue publicity.
"Take eating. I had lunch at
the Brown Derby yesterday. I
was the only one who did,
though. Everybody else was do
ling more phoning than feeding.
"The loud-speaker kept blar
ing out "a call for Mr. So-and-So'
every 10 seconds. The wires
staved hot but the steaks got
cold."
When Bob's at home the only
calls he gets filter through the
waterproof earphones of his div
ing helmet.
In a good year, Bob figures he
hauls up $75,000 worth of soggy
lumber. And he doesn't have to
worry about customers. There's
timber shortage up there and
the logging industry snaps up
everything Bob can dig up.
"Somebody thought my job
was kind of unusual," Forrest
drawled. "So they wrote a Cav
alcade of America show about it.
Dane Clark played me on the
air.
"Gave my wife a thrill."
Cavalcade also brought the
Forrests to Hollywood for a va
cation and turned 'em loose In a
maze of movie shenanigans.
'We've been going around to
the studios and the nightspots
with our eyes and ears hanging
out," Bob said. "This town's an
education. But I wouldn't want
to live here."

Hong Kong, Nov. 2 U
Communist guerrillas from In

in cooperation with Chinese
communist forces, a nationalist
report from Kwelin said today.

that the towns had been occu

here.
Chinese nationalist authorities
have conferred with French au
thorities in Indochina on ways
to prevent the Viet Nam-Chinese
communist forces from menacing
the rear of nationalist lines in
southwest China, the report said.
Recent authoritative accounts
said that French authorities in
penetrated some 80 miles inside
China at points north and north
east of Moncay, main border
crossing point on the frontier
between China and Indochina.
The towns seized, the report
said, were Shiaotang, in Kwang

Ancient Automobile
Still Rugged Buggy
Richmond, Va. (U.R) At least
one ancient automobile taking
part in this year's revival of the
Glidden Tour had little or no
trouble with Virginia's rugged
mountain roads.
C. E. Simmons, who drove his
two - cylinder 1922 Stanley
Steamer in the caravan of 90
odd vehicles of a bygone day,
said he has more trouble find
ing roads that can accommodate
his boiler.
Simmons said he cruises at 80
in his steamer without really
opening up all the valves. He
said he gets 14 miles to a gallon
of kerosene and six miles for
every gallon of water in his
tanks
As for th upkeep, Simmons
aid there are only 37 moving
parts, including the wheels.
When something goes wrong, he
doesn't bother taking his Steam
er to a garage.
He calls the plumber.
The way Bob figures, the un
derwater routine is a heap safer
He s only got five-foot sharks
and octopuses to contend with
down there.
But the Hollywood sharks
don't scare as easy as the finny
kind and the local brand of
octopus can figure out a lot
more than eight ways to put the
squeeze on.
He'll take the marine borers
in his hemlock logs, too, Bob
says. They aren't half as bad as
some of the ones that go to Hol
lywood parties.
Law Requires Care in
Cutting Christmas Trees
In less than two months 52 days to be exact glimmering,
shining Christmas trees will be found in most all homes.
Long before that Christmas tree cutters will begin eombing
Oregon's forests for likely holiday greens.
As that time draws near Acting State Forester George Spaur
is sending out the reminder that-
these holiday greens must be
cut under the provision of the
Oregon conservation act.
First in the list of musts found
in the act is the securing of per
mits from the forestry depart
ment in Salem or at the depart
ment headquarters within the
various districts in the state.
These are located at Coos Bay,
LaGrande, The Dalles, Klamath
Falls, Medford, Toledo, Forest
Grove, Roseburg, Sweet Home,
Molalla, Dallas, Springfield and
Veneta.
Also it Is necessary to secure
the permission of the land
owner and his name and ad
dress must be Included on the
application filed by the Christ
mas tree operator.
So that the harvesting of
Christmas trees will be in the
nature of a beneficial thinning
the Oregon conservation act re
quires that not less than 300
trees per acre, with 100 well dis
tributed, be left by the indivi
dual cutting the trees. All for
est lands except lands being
cleared for agricultural pur
poses come under these require
, ments.
In reminding Christmas tree
cutters of the law protecting
Oregon's forest lands Spaur
points out that old mature seed
trees may also serve as a seed
source where they exist on
Christmas tree cutting areas. He
further notes that by leaving es
tablished young growth or seed
source, continued forest produc
tion on the area is insured.
One exception to the Oregon
conservation act is John Q. Citi
zen, who goes after the family's
own Christmas tree. He is not
required to obtain a permit, but
must obtain the permission of
the landowner before cutting his
tree.
Population of
Medford 20,100
Medford, Nov. 2 (Pi Med-
ford's population is 20,100, a 90
percent gain since 1940, unoffi
cial figures based on a new city
directory prepared by the local
branch of the Mormon church
showed today.
In 1940 the population was
11.281 and in 1930 it was 11,007
The increase is ascribed large
ly to the general population
shift to the west. Increased em
ployment in lumbering and pear
growing has been noted. Too,
there has been a substantial in
crease in the number of persons
coming here to live after retir
ing from active business.
