National Forest Suffers Vandalism The Umatilla National Forest suffered several acts of vandal ism and campground littering during the 1966 camping and hunting season. The resulting damage, caused by the actions of a few careless and Irrespon sible individuals, creates incon venience to the majority of the camping public and an unnec essary drain on the campground construction and maintenance fund of the Forest Service. Money which could be used to build more and better camp ground facilities must be spent on reconditioning broken fire places, picking up unnecessary campground litter, repainting defaced buildings, recondition ing carved and burned picnic tables, replacing shot-up signs, etc. The Forest Service asks the cooperation of the public in re porting to the nearest district ranger, county sheriff, or state police, any acts of vandalism which they observe. Our aim is to provide clean, well maintain ed campgrounds that will be pleasant and enjoyable lor all who use them. TREASURE SHELF NEW TO YOU CLOTHING
