Here some young visi tors learn what the United Nations is doing to Charges Planned For Forest Camps Beginning with the spring of 1949, charges will be made for cam ping and picnicking on a rep- icsentative group of national fo r est cam pgrounds in Oregon and W ashington, according to an an nouncem ent ju st made by regional fo rester H. J. Andrews, Portland, Oregon. The decision to make these charges on certain recrea tional areas on an experim ental basis was prom pted, according to the forest service, by repeated sug gestions from Congress th a t recre ational use should bring in some revenue to o ffset in p art the cost of constructing, m aintaining and adm inistering national forest rec reational facilities. “ I wish to emphasize th a t we are not overlooking the tradition of free public recreational use of the national fo rests,” Andrews said. “ We shall have m any small camps and picnic areas available for use by the public in addition to those on which charges will be collected. Also, the proposed charges will be for the use of f a cilities on certain recreational areas and not for entrance to the national forests. The new pro cedure will be conducted as an ex perim ent on a sufficient num ber of areas to enable us to draw definite conclusions as to w hether service to the public can be improved un der this method. “ Most of the recreational facil ities on the national forests were constructed by the Civilian C onser vation corps 10 to 15 years ago and the problem of m aintenance is becoming progressively more ser ious. Rustic tables, foot bridges, fireplaces, and toilet facilities are deteriorating from use and w eath ering fa ste r than they can he re placed or m aintained with the lim ited funds now available. The num ber of people using the forest camps has been increasing — in some cases beyond the capacity of the existing im provem ents to ac commodate them. Funds available since the war for recreational work on national forests have been insufficient even to m aintain e s sential sanitation and fire protec tion on all areas, and to keep them able, and there has been v irtu ally no developm ent of additional recreational facilities to relieve over-crowding. We hope th a t the experim ents being started this year will help solve the problem .” According to Mr. Andrews the plan for charging for recreational use on specific areas will be c ar ried out about as follows: O pera tion of some of the selected camps will be by a perm ittee who will be P P Ê S ID E N T help children from Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt.

Mason, Deputy State Di rector of Selective Service for Oregon, said in an interview that local boards have no authority un der the present law to accept vol unteers fo r im m ediate induction, unless they are over 26. Colonel Mason observed th a t the general m isunderstanding probab ly arose from the fact th a t loca: boards were empowered to accept volunteers under the Selective Service Act which expired in 1947. “ The present law is very clear,” Colonel Mason said, and he quoted from recen t instructions sent to all Oregon local boards as follows: “ Except in respect to regis tra n ts 26 years of age or over who may consent to induction, the Se lective Service Act of 1948 con tains no provision authorizing the induction of volunteer registrants before the time th a t such regis tra n ts are selected for induction according to their dates of birth as prescribed in Selective Service regulations. "A ny re g istra n t who is within the age group 19 through 25 may apply to an Army recru itin g sta tion for enlistm ent in the R egular Army for a period of 21 m onths’ service which is the same period of service for which he is liable u n der the Selective Service Act of 1948. No such reg istrant, how ever, is eligible to so enlist a fte r an order to rep o rt for arm ed fo rc es physical exam ination . . . has been issued to him by his local board.” A special m eeting of local R-Il leaders was held at the home of Chairman Beth B urnette, last F ri day. Cliff Jenkins, assistant county agent of G rants Pass, introduced Esther Taskernd, state extension agent for 4-H ’s of Corvallis, who gave the leaders some very fine ideas and explained the goals for better 4-H Club leadership. Our leaders being new in 4-H club work found this of great interest, and will aid in helping our large groups of 4-H club members. This year the local 4-H members should be High Blood Pressure required to keep the a rea neat ana clean, dispose of garbage, m ain tain the im provem ents, and furnish firewood. Some charge camps may be operated by the Forest Service, but not w here the sale of m erchandise or bath house ser vices are involved Charges for the use of the se lected recreational areas will be: camping 50c per day per car party of not more than six persons, or $3.00 per week; picnicking 25c to ' 50c per day per car party of not more than six persons. E xtra charges will be made if special services such as split firewood and lockers, or checking stations in bath houses are furnished. A list o f the areas at which charges will be collected will be made public this spring.
