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

will be by a perm ittee who will be

4-H LEADERS HAVE
GUEST SPEAKERS
C larifying provisions of the Se
lective Service Act, Colonel F ra n
cis W. 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

lected recreational areas will be:

of not more than six persons, or
$3.00 per week; picnicking 25c to '
50c per day per car party of not

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.
