We're Behind Smokey
It is the same old story that Smokey Bear tells over and over,
"Be Careful with Fire."
Now after an unusually moist summer season to date, it is
time to repeat it and time for all to take heed.
State forest lands now are closed to entry except by permit,
and these may be obtained at the Chapin Creek guard station
or at the Fossil headquarters. County roads remain open," but
the family who, without a permit, takes a picnic lunch and
leaves the road in a closed area to enjoy an outing at a creek
running below is violating the order unless it happens to be
in a stretch of national forest.
The national forest is not closed, but fire regulations do
apply. Those building fires outside of regular campgrounds
must have shovel, bucket and other required tools.
We are told that one reason that state forests are closed
when national forests stay open is because the state does not
have the personnel to adequately supervise fire prevention and
handle suppression.
It is a long distance from the Fossil headquarters to the
end of their district here, and there are very few men to cover
the ground.
This makes it all the more important that the public
cooperate to the best of its ability. Sometimes there is confusion
about closure regulations. A neophyte in the woods may have
trouble understanding whether he is in violation or not. Posters
placed in closed areas dp have tacks on them to indicate the
poster's position, however, and if the tack is in a red area, the
person reading it may well know that he Is "off limits."
The weather cycle seems to be running in recent years
towards later springs and warmer fall seasons. Thus the greatest
hazard from forest fires is in late summer, extending in dry
years into hunting season when the forests have their heaviest
use.
Under the multiple use plan, the national forests are for
the public to use and enjoy, but not to be desecrated nor
destroyed. These forest lands at our southern back door are of great
importance to us economically as well as recreationally.
If you and yours use the forest lands wisely and carefully,
all will smile at you, but if you are wanton and careless, may
Smokey Bear's representative be watching you from behind the
nearest tree!

WITH CHUCK McLEAN, fire con
trol officer of the Heppner
Ranger district, we accomplished
something Friday that we want
ed to do for two years tour
lookouts and installations and
see at first hand work being
done throughout the district.
The day started at 8 a.m. and
ended about 10 p.m. but it was
revealing and rewarding. We
were impressed with the morale
and discipline of the crews, with
the hustle they showed on their
work, with the attention to de
tail, and their state of prepared
ness for fire.
We'll go into this In articles
that we will write as a result
of the trip (the first in this
paper). It will take some con
siderable space to tell it all, but
it is an interesting story and
an important one.
We asked for the whole cook's
tour and got it, even to climbing
the 105 ft. tower at Tamarack.
As we neared the top there,
though, the old legs started to
turn to putty and the pit of the
stomach started to sag, but
Chuck chattered along about the
different points to be seen and
he never realized that we lelt
like wrapping both arms around
the handrail and hanging on
for dear life.
Dave Creswick, the lookout,
runs up and down those steps
like a mountain goat. But old
terra firma felt mighty good to
us after a brief stay in his small
cubicle,
Can vou imaeine staying up
there in a lightning storm with
the wind blowing so hard it
blows panes out of the windows
and buckles the metal sides, the
whole thing swaying like a
bird's nest at the end of a limb?
We kind of figured on being
done in after following Chuck
all day but learned to our re
gret early this week that he is
in the hospital. It wasn't from
any ill effects of this trip but
another ailment, and we surely
hope he recovers quickly.
Organization and training ex-.
emplified by the forest crews
show that they have some good
leaders at the top.
WE HADN'T played golf for more
than a year, but went out
late Sunday and set a new course
record we played nine holes
without hitting a fairway more
than three or four times.
If all the balls we sowed in
the creek and roughs grow, there
will be golf ball trees all over
the place come spring, and none
of the members will ever have to
buy any more.
We made two mistakes: 1. We
took the wife along. 2. We took
young daughter along.
Wife shows us up by dropping
several tee shots right on the
green, which is kind of a dis
couraging thing to a guy who
spends his spare time beating
brush and wading in the mud
looking for his elusive golf balls.
Daughter says such innocent
things as. "You go on, mommy,
and I will slay with daddy to
help him hunt."
There must be some unnatural
physical phenomenon, yet un
discovered, that occurs when we
attempt to shoot across the creek
on No. 4. That ball will be soar
ing along beautifully until it
comes directly over the creek
and then some strange force
drags il straight clown to plop
into the water.
On the last attempt the elusive
little pellet hit about the center
of the creek and rolled into a
little pocket deep under a big
boulder. When we used the club
head to try and pry it out, it
went back deeper just like a
craw-dad backing into its hole
Finally we got a big pry pole
to push over the sunken boulder.
As we were pushing witn all
our might, the thing slipped and
we lunged into the creek.
Later we were telling Dee
Gribble (Over the Tee Cup)
about our troubles losing balls
(the wife never even put one
in the rough!).
"Do you mark them?" Dee in
cmired helpfully, apparently in
tending to sound a general alert
to all members.
We told her that we did they
all have a big "smile" cut across
them!
Oh, we'll go back to try again,
but next time, we'll be prepared.
We'll have a swim suit, an axe,
a crow bar, shovel, hip boots
and a compass.
WAYNE BRUBACHER, new coun
ty school administrator, was
seated in the restaurant eating
breakfast. He was reading the
morning paper as he ate.
A big fellow came and sat be
side him.
Without looking up, Brubacher
handed him one section of the
paper.
"Wouldja like the paper?" he
asked.
"Thanks," replied the big guy.
Both spent several minutes en
grossed in reading, ordering and
eating.
Brubacher finished the sports
page.
"Want the sports page?" he
asked the big man.
"Yeah, thanks."
So it went through breakfast.
Finally, when they both were
about ready to depart the big
one really saw Brubacher for the
first time.
"Say," said he, a light dawn
ing in his eye, "Aren't you
Wayne Brubacher!"
"Yes, and you're "
"Web Allison," replied the big
fellow.
Well, Web Allison, as many
know, is writer for Ruralite, mag
azine distributed here by Colum
bia Basin Electric. He has done
many stories about this area.
He and Brubacher grew up to
gether in Center, Colo., and they
had not seen each other for 30
years until they happened to sit
on adjoining stools in the local
eatery.
WHILE IN the office the other
day, Betty Fulleton suddenly
remembered that it was her an
niversary. We were hoping, when
she mentioned it, that Roice
would remember, too, well know
ing the failing that we husbands
have.
Betty went ahead and bought
an anniversary present for hubby
anyway but she didn't give it
to him. She remembered later
that she was a month early. It
isn't until the same time in
August. But that gives Roice
plenty of warning.
MRS. JIM (JEAN) Lovgren, head
ed to a church camp with her
son and young Jim Sherman and
having Laura Lee Sumner and
Rita Sumner along as passengers,
spent Saturday night in Portland
to take the gang to a show. They
dined at the Imperial Hotel Cof
fee Shop and were chatting
gaily all the while.
The waitress brushed another
table and knocked a man's cane
to the floor. Son Frankie hopped
up and quickly retrieved it for
him, then took his place again.
Observing all the time was
an elderly couple at another
table. When this pair had fin
ished eating, they stopped by the
Lovgren group. The lady patted
Frank and said to Jean, "My,
what a fine family vou have!
When so many are juvenile de
linquents these days, it is good
to see a family behave like this!"
jean was a little surprised, but
said, "We're from Eastern Ore
gon and that's the way we raise
them there!"

This week's news, golfwise,
should be easy to write. There
were 13 gals out to play" Tues
day with LaFyrne Pratt in
charge. Most 6's got LaFyrne a
ball and lowest score on No. 1
ended in a toss between Vi Lan
ham and myself, with Vi win
ning. Did you know you could go
swimming in Willow Creek?
Well, Hazel Mahoney Is "living
proof" of it. While helping her
neighbor Helen Schaffitz get a
ball on No. 3 (down by Corbin's
bridge) the bank slid away and
away went Hazel (and I mean
all the way.) She swam up to
the top and climbed out, much
to the hysterical giggling of her
companions. A quick trip home,
shower, fresh clothes and back
she came, finishing her nine
with a 42.
Heard yesterday Lillian Sweek
made a hole-in-one teeing off
of No. 8 She holed out on No.
7 green. You know Lillian, the
No. 7 green is the hardest green
to putt on the entire course.
A foursome of Heppner golf
ers are entering the Elks Invi
tational at La Grande August
