A Lesson for Paul Bunyon
Paul B uny an legends about heroic exploits In the land
of the big trees and strong men ore enthralling. 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.

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

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."
