They are nlso misleading, so far as the timber Industry is concerned. Many people still think timber companies hurt rather than help the forest lands In which they operate. In an effort to help the public view timber harvesting and forest manage ment as they are contemporarily practiced, one of the largest timber companies In the country conducted a Paul Bunyan sized "road .show" of n typical logging operation and refores tation project The show ran for 23 days while the company removed trees from its land along a highway leading Into a recreation area In the Cascade Mountains In Washington State. It drew thousands of people from 30 states and five foreign countries. Many of those attending had never seen the modern equip ment used by loggers. One machine was operated by a team, a member of which used a two-way radio to direct the plac ing of grapples that pick up logs, thus doing away with the old-fashioned and dangerous business of fastening steel cab les to logs by hand. The show drew Interesting comment from spectators, such as, "I would like to see this made available during (the) school year to school groups," and "We are most impressed with the conservation procedures." A part of the show was the reforestation that follows log ging. As soon as the area was logged, fir seedlngs grown in the company's high-yield forest nurseries were planted. In connection with this, spectators had an opportunity to view the reforestation part of the company's tree farming, as well as the company's High Yield Forestry program. It opened up 34 miles of logging roads for self-guided tours which let vis itors see young trees in various age groups and get an Idea of what logging land looks like In coming years as new trees grow. Paul Bunyan was a great fellow in his day; but in our era of sustained-yield logging, multiple land use, conservation and recreation, he would have something to learn. LETTERS" EDITOR Notes from Linda June 13, 197 Dear Mom and all: I love to ride on trains, ex cept that the longest I would recommend going Is to Omaha, You would not believe how slow these trains go. It took an hour to go from Hinkle to Pendleton going thru Wyoming, from Cokevllle to Laramie, we hit snow. 1 couldn't believe It There was snow everywhere. In mid-June no less. One thing about traveling by train; you do meet a hit of people, and you can get conversation start- d by merely asking the person next to you or across the table where he Is going. It's quite fun! Well I made It here okay (Ver mont). It is a pretty campus- new but the guys who have been here have really torn it p I"ve been able to visit Val y Forge and meet several oth- kids. 111 tell you more In my next letter.

Editor, Gazeztte-Timcs: (By telegram) Senator Mark Hatfield announced today that the Department of Agriculture will make food stamps availa ble to several counties in Ore gon which were heretofore par ticipating in the surplus foods program. Baker, Clatsop, Grant, Lane, Marion, Morrow, Polk and Yam hill counties will be receiving stamps, which can be turned in to grocery stores and used just as cash is used for food. Food stamps provide a greater vari ety of food than the older sur plus foods program. "The addition of these coun ties will assure Oregonians who are in need that food stamps will be made available to them," said Hatfield, who was enroute to Oregon. "I understand from Andrew Juras, Administrator of Public Welfare in Oregon, that addit ional workers have been added to help process the increased applications for stamps in Mult nomah County, and I am grate ful that this is being done to relieve some of the problems caused by our hiyh unemploy ment rate."

Phil Mahoney was telling us Australia had no evergreen saw timber. They do have some eucalyptus timber and lately have planted what Phil said ap peared to be a Monterrey pine (they have a different name for it, but it's a Monterrey!) He said this timber will be harvested in about 25 years. Phil said it looked a bit odd to see trees planted in rows like soldiers they're about 8 feet apart, ev enly spaced. projiosed sites for nuclear power plants. We had thought that their having seven big lakes to cool the water, and men 10 use the water for irrigation, an aua ed up to sheer genius. Rut wait lust a minute! That uln't all!
