State Forestry Predicts Another Severe Season
The past two fire season In .
uicKun unvn wen severe una 11
appears that the slate In headed
Into another, Judging from cur
rent conditions,
"We are Just Into July and
already fire danger Is alarming
ly high," nays Ted Maul, Basin
laiit state forester In charge of
protection. "In normal years we
don't get conditions such as
this until mid-August."
In support of this statement,
weather data from the various
iiroteetlon districts reveals that
burning Indexes are running
Into high ratings at numerous
weather stations.
Another fuctor adding to the
situation Is a notable lack of
moisture since June 13. Rainfall
Is critically Important In main
taining fuel moisture, a signifi
cant factor In fire control. For
Western Oregon stations In par
ticular, significant departures
from average are noted.
The only thing tnm would
change the picture would be a
period of general rain. And that
is highly unlikely at this time
of the year. Maul said. Current
ly the present push of marine
air Is easing fire danger slightly
but the loss of fuel moisture
continues, only at a slower pace.
The only consolation so far Is
the fact that less fires have oc
curred to date than for the com
parable period last year. Light
ning has accounted for 107 fires
this year as opposed to 220 last
year, while man-caused blazes
add up to 117 against 254 last
year. Early drying along the per
iod of fire weather last year ex
plains this partially. Perhaps
too, people are mindful of the
disastrous Oxbow Ridge fire
which burned some 43,000 acres
last year, Maul said.
Mr. and Mrs. Delmer Fellers
are visiting with their son-in-law
and daughter, Mr. and Mrs
Bob Jones, and family during
this year' harvest. Mr. Fellers
Is helping with harvest and the
women are doing summer cook
ing chores together. Mr. and
Mrs. Bill Jones of Jacksonville
visited a few days last week with
the Bob Jones family, also with
Alva Jones and with Mrs. Jeff
Jones. Bill Jones Is a grandson
of Mrs. Jeff Jones.

Gov. Tom McCall
Says ...
Oregon's forests will be a "tinderbox"
for the remainder of the summer. The;
state may be in for one of the worst fire
seasons in history.
All Oregonians are asked to exercise ex
treme caution while in forested areas..
If we are vigilant, future generations
will be able to enjoy this precious natural
resource. But if we aren't, our tranquil
hillsides will burst into a raging inferno and become another
ible reminder of man's carelessness.

The State Forestry Department reports that Oregon forests are
severely dried out, since the state is behind in rainfall with little pre
cipitation since early June.
The only thing that will reverse the extreme fire danger in Ore
gon is rain, and the weathermen hold no promise on that score.
