There are a lot of people in

of things about atomic air raids

There have been some broad

The state civil defense advis
ory board met with Governor
Douglas McKay at the Capitol
last Friday when plans for ac
celerating the department were
adopted.
Governor McKay is pressing
the passage of a bill by the leg
islature -to appropriate $74,000
to the CV department. The bill
has an emergncy clause and will
receive his signature and become
law the moment it reaches his
desk. The department is all rea
dy and set for actioii. It has ex
perienced some handicaps, some
local and some federal and
some from the apathy of the
public. A sufficient program
could not be carried out with
money on hand.
The state emergency board
gave CV $25,840 last July of

been expended.
The continental Air Command,

up 202 ground observation units.
Only 79 have been organized.
Jack Hayes, of the state fire

In this stage of the session it
looks like the record for bills set
in 1939 of 1,062 might be broken
and the 97-day session of 1949
might be surpassed.
FIVE NEW BOARDS
While a committee on reorgan
ization of state government is
planning to merge state depart
ments, bills were introduced in
the legislature this week to cre
ate five new boards.
The bills propose:
A state department of natural
resources to include the game
and fish commissions, forestry
department, soil and water con
servation, the sanitary board,
department of geology and min
erals, history and research.

salary of $7,000.
A state board of tax appeals
with three members at an an
nual salary of $6,000 each.
Bills similar to the five new
bills were defeated in the 1949
session.
EXTRA TAXES PROPOSED
Taxes being considered by the
tax committee of the house in

bills that would:
Provide pail sentences for ab

animal without attending it. To
make Columbus Day a legal,
holiday again. Reduce the terms
of members of the board of high

Change the price of non-resident
hunting licenses from $35 to

resident fishing licenses from $15
to the same as for non-resident
hunters.

Sharp Increase In
Logging and Mill
Permits In 1950
The year 1950 saw a sharp in
crease in the number of logging
and mill permits issued in the
state, according to state forestry
department officials.
A total of 12,874 permits were
issued last year as compared
with 10,702 for the year of 1949
and 4,143 for the year of 1945.
The "Forest Operation Permit"
is required of all power-driven
operations in western Oregon
within one-eighth mile of forest
land. Operations engaged in the
harvesting of timber or other
forest products are required to
obtain a combined "Forest Op
eration and Conservation Har
vesting Permit". Only the "Con
servation Harvesting Permit" is
required in eastern Oregon.
The purpose of the permits is
to enforce fire control measures
and protect seed source for con
tinuous growth of timber as re
quired by the Oregon ' forest
laws. The forestry department
employs 32 forest inspectors to
administer the law.
upset the West's oil industry
John E. Clark, insurance man from San Francisco, California, writes,
"From all I can gather, the West's oil companies have contributed a lot to our area.
Now there's talk about

Do customers? Not likely.
Oil companies have turned
out constantly better prod
ucts and services at reason
able prices. Except for taxes, a
gallon of gasoline today costs
about what it did in 1919.
Do stockholders? Surely
not. There has never been a
year when Standard has failed
to pay a dividend. 98,600 in
dividuals share the earnings
of Standard, depend on the
stability of Standard to as
sure safety for their savings.
Forester Calls Attention To
Losses in Burning 'Waste'
In another communication
from Glenn Parsons, Ranger of
the Heppner division of the Um
atilla National Forest, he calls
attention to losses sustained in
the burning of valuable mater
ial which, . in the mind of the
layman may appear to be waste
but to the forester and scientist
is the basis for added industries.
Mr. Parsons' article follows:
Some interesting information
has crossed my desk bringing to
the attention that perhaps we
are missing a bet in Morrow
county. Millions of pounds of
slash, windfalls, cull logs, and
sawdust are going to waste an
nually. Much of it is burned a
waste of a precious and badly
needed organic material ..

Do employees? The average
income of 28,000 Standard
people was $4,447 last year.
And Standard Oilers are cov

employee benefits.
Do tax collectors? Standard

when you buy gasoline and

course, as a company. Be

sizeable last year, for exam

This waste can contribute to
two new Heppner industries, one
of which is conversion of this

other industry, requiring only a
small investment, is to return
the sawdust back to the soil.
Many of our soils are now
starving for humus. Some irri

Do small business men?
Standard of California is a big
customer for small businesses
in the West. Last year, for ex

$90,000,000 with some 10,000
business firms.
