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.

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
