'Blazing Forest Trails'
Will Get Wide Interest
Tell your advertiser you saw
It in the Gazette-Times.
By WES SHERMAN
"If he could cooperate with
a cattleman-banker and with a
horseman buckaroo rancher
philosopher, why couldn't he
help a fire fighting forester with
forty years of 'rangerln'."
So states Charles D. Simpson,
who looks back on a lifetime
oh 'dirt forester' and adminis
trator, In telling how he carne
to call upon E. R. Jackman to
help him write his book, "Blaz
ing Forest Trails."
Simpson had read "Gold and
Coltlct Country" by Herman Oli
ver with Jaekman collaborating,
and "The Oregon Desert" by
Jackman nnd Reuh Long.
That Jackman found Simp
son's offer an Inviting one is
evident In the finished book,
"Blazing Forest Trails," that was
published and went on sale Fri
day. Like 'The Oregon Desert," the
new book Is published by The
( axton Printers of Caldwell,
Idaho, and Is Illustrated with
151 fine photographs. The 38-1-page
book Is printed on the
same type of heavy high-quality
paper used on 'The Oregon
Desert" and, although featur
ing a different natural resource,
It will have similar appeal to
readers who love the Northwest.
Many will want It In their li
braries and It will also find
considerable demand as a gift
Item.
"Blazing Forest Trails" Is now
on sale in lleppner at Murrays
Rexull Drug.
From the vost experience of
a colorful career In U. S. For
est Service work. Author Simp
son brings the reader abundant
Information about the forests,
and because his work goes back
to the early days of the Forest
Service, he can bring to mind
on anecdote to Illustrate virtu
ally every point.
Those living In the northwest
corner of the nation well know
how their lives are affected by
the forests, whether they use
them for a livelihood, for recre
ation, or for other purposes.
Ranchers arc familiar with their
use for range, and the book has
an Interesting chapter on this
"On the Summer Range."
How the multiple use concept
of National Forests developed
out of natural needs Is pointed
out by Simpson.
". . .pioneem on the Old Ore
gon Trail, the early-day forest
rangers and other mountain
travelers, looked for dally "wood,
water and hoss feed','1 writes
Simpson. "Recreation was rep
resented usually by rest follow
ing a strenuous day. Wildlife
sometimes contributed a skillet
of wild meat. Multiple use Is
therefore not new. It Is merely
more stylish In a new suit of
clothes."
Five major resources of na
tional forests thus, as symbol
ized by the "Multiple Use Tree,"
are water, wood, forage, recrea
tion and wildlife.
One of the most fascinating
chaptera of the book is entit
led. "A Bet with Uncle Sam."
This tells of the early day
homesteadlng in the forests, go
ing into the bitter struggles that
some went through to "prove
up" and get patents on their
homesteads. While much of the
book is concerned with three
national forests In Idaho Car
ibou, Lolo and Coeur d'Alene
It also centers around the Whit
man Notional Forest in Oregon.
Some of the places mentioned
and some of the early struggles
of homesteaders will strike
chords with local people who
are familiar with these places.
In a few instances, some of the
family names mentioned will
be recognized by Morrow coun
ty readers.
There Is action and drama in
the book in such chapters as

those dealing with forest fires.
Some of the big ones are des
cribed. Simpson, who at various times
wos supervisor at each of the
four national forests mentioned
above, writes of the big Tilla
mook fire and point out that
since he never served in that
part of Oregon his only contact
with It "consisted In smelling
and trying to penetrate the
smoke at a distance of more
than four hundred miles." Al
though not the greatest In ac
reage, the Tillamook fire of 1933
killed or consumed more tim
ber than any fire In known
United States history. It cover
ed a third of a million acres,
the book points out, and 87 per
cent of the acreage was burn
ed during one 21-hour period.
There Is keen Interest for the
hunter, the fisherman, and the
camera fan In such chapters as
"Wild Uw rfc of the Woods," deal
ing with wildlife.
Even those who feel they
have an Intimate knowledge of
forests will discover new and
helpful tips out of Simpson's
experience.
In a chapter on "Survival" he
writes, "We are talking here
about survival when one be
comes lost In the forest. But ac
tually it's better not to get lost
In the first place. As In the
sage advice In the old French
Canadian poem,
" 'You can't get drown on Lae
St. Pierre
" 'So long you stay on
shore.' "
But Simpson lists 12 common
articles that one should carry
when he goes Into the woods.
There are many now dead who
would be alive today If they
had read his book and heeded
this advice.
"Fun on the Forests" is a
chapter that brings out the val
ue for recreation and has more
helpful hints for those who
would use them for fun.
Jackman, who is known by
many in this area because of
his work for years with the Ore
gon State Extension Service,
contributes chapters on 'Trees
and Towns" and "Trees and
Humans" to show the import
ance of the forests as influenc
es on communities and men.
"Burros, Buckboards, Bedrolls
and Beans" is what might be
called a bonus chapter in "Blaz
ing Forest Trails." It is a col
lection of anecdotes, mostly
amusing, that the author re
counts from his "forty years of
rangerln' ".
One advantage of a book like
this Is that one doesn't have
to read all the way through at
one sitting to retain the con
nective Interest. A chapter, or
even a single anecdote, can be
satisfying in Itself and he can
go back to it at ensuing times
for more enjoyable reading.
Jackman quotes Bliss Carman,
a Canadian poet, on how the
woods brought reverent moods:
'There is virtue in the open;
there is healing out of
doors;
'The Great Physician makes
his rounds along the forest
floors."
Many who read "Blazing For
est Trails" will find that it
touches this mood in them
selves, and those who cherish
the feeling will want to have
the book to keep.
Thompson Chosen
For Institute
Study in Physics
Gary Thompson, teacher of
physics and chemistry at llepp
ner High school, has been in
vited to participate in a sum
mer institute which will be con
ducted for eight weeks from
June 19 to August 11 by the
Physics department of the Uni
versity of Washington with aid
of a grant from the National
Science Foundation.
"I am very lucky to be Invlt
ed," he told the Gazette-Times.
The institute is limited to 50
teachers from all over the U. S.
and usually requires applicants
to have three years teaching ex
perience. Eleven units of gradu
ate study will be earned by par
ticipants in the course designed
to increase teachers' skill in
teaching the new course of
PS.SC high school physics.
PSSC (Physical Science Study
Committee) Physics was devel
oped in 1957 when some 60
physicists, teachers, apparatus
designers, writers, artists, and
other specialists pooled their
knowledge and experience to
produce a pilot model of the
PSSC physics course. The proj
ect was started with a grant
from the National Science Foun
dation and the main collaborat
ors were professors of Physics
at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology.
Since Its beginning in 1957,
the PSSC course has been wide
ly adopted in the United States
and has undergone revisions
and modifications constantly.
The PSSC course consists of four
closely related parts with each
relying heavily on laboratory
work and the discovery ap
proach to learning.
Thompson has been Introduc
ing elements of the PSSC course
this year at Heppner High
school and plans to return next
year to complete the transition.
Jim Marvin, teacher this year at
lone High school, will also be
a student at the institute.
