2 Heppner Gazette Times,MayJ8 J944 Judge Johnson to Head KOG Committee Judge Bert Johnson has been ask ed by Governor Earl Snell to serve for the present year as chairman of the Morrow county Keep Oregon Green committee, ahd to take an rctive part in organizing this coun ty against the destructive fires which in the past have done much damage to our fields and forests. Governor Snell said in his letter of appointment to the local leader, "The State of Oregon is again call ing on its citizens for their full hearted cooperation in the Keep Oregon Green program. In the past port and enthusiastic leadership1 of many of our local leaders has been four years, the statewide public gup the driring force that has reduced our fire losses to the lowest point in the history of the state. To local-i ize our fire prevention activities, we have found it worthwhile to es tablish a connection between local leaders and the state central com mittee." The chairman's duties include ar ranging for frequent newspaper messages and radio programs call ing attention of the public to the necessity in this war year for stop ping man -caused conflagrations, as well as seeing that adequate distri bution of fire prevention advertising matter is made so that it will act ; s a constant reminder to the gen eral public. ISSUES WARNING AGAINST DOGS RUNNING AT LARGE 'That's John Smith's dog; that's all right, he has a tag on, he has a right to go where he pleases." No, he has no more right than the one that has no tag. The dog that has a tag can tear up just as much gar den as the dog without a tag. He will come into one's garden at night to bury bones and will dig any where that looks good to him, no matter if there is anything planted there or not. You'd better watch your dog if he has a license. When he is loose on the street he is the same as any stray dog, for the owner never knows where he is or what he is doing. Lots of people have pet dogs that they hate to part with. Some of them seem to think that a dog license is all that is required. That won't protect him any more than if he didn't have a license, if he conies into my garden and digs holes and buries bones, for I won't stand for it. I wli fix some liver with strychnine and rut it wheie he has buried his bones. The government is calling for more Victory gardens all the time and a person can't raise a garden and have dogs running through and digging it up at night. I like a good dog as well as any body, but I like him to be kept in a good dog's place. The city and county authorities have explained the law on this dog bisiness fo there is no excuse if you dor t comply with the law. W. P.

Central Market FOREST MANAGEMENT takes a tree crop facC leaves the woods! JL HERE was a time when the trees of the abundant Ameri can forests stood on land needed for villages and farms. Forests were removed both for their timber and so that the land might be used. Today we have enough farm land. Our remaining forest areas can be kept at the job of producing successive timber crops. Under modern perpetual-yield management the forests pro duce the things we need, but the forest industries keep the woods wooded. Through scientific cutting, maintenance of seed sources, and planting of nursery-grown stock, young, vigorous, forest growth replaces mature, slow-growing trees which need to be harvested. This company and the forest industries generally have entered a period of managed, planned operations of the WO'")" Kinzua Pine Mills Co.
