Off-road vehicles to be controlled WASHINGTONBy Ihe end of 176 owners of off road vehicles-dune buggies, am phibianR, scooters, four-wheel slnve and all -terrain vehicle will have designated areas and trails in the National Forests System lands where they may and may not operate. KThe Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, has announced that it is beginning a three-plus year process to establish controls over use of off-road vehicles on all IH7 million acres of national forests, grass lands and other lunds administered by Ihe Forest Service. Supervisors of the 155 na tional forests will have until Dec. 31. 1976. to establish places where off -road vehicle use will be allowed, curtailed to some degree or prohibited. Before final decision is made, the public will be given an opportunity to participate in the designation or revision of designation where restrictions or closures are involved. The program of designation for full, limited or no use by off-road vehicles is an out growth of a 1972 executive order to set up a system for controls which would mini mize damages to natural resources, protect public safety and reduce conflicts among users on public lands. Limitations will not apply to authorized vehicles under permit, lease, license or contract, to military, fire, emergency or law enforce ment vehicles, to official vehicle use, nor to vehicles used for prospecting or mining under provisions of the Gen eral Mining Law of 1872. The exception for prospecting and mining was included because the Forest Service is in the process of issuing revised mining regulations that will, in part, be designed to minimize adverse impacts from vehicles use in connec tion with mining operations. Forest Service Chief John R. McGuire says the regula tions will build on closure actions which have already taken place in the National Forest System over the years as the result of the explosive increase in use of off-road vdiicles. He noted that ap " proximately 8,000 of the 80,000 miles of trails outside wil dernesses and primitive areas yoooooooooooooooo putTIfun) X lis m m -A A delicious Shrimp Dinner will be served from 6:30 to 0:30 p. m.

In addition, he said, off -road vehicles are banned from 14 5 million 'acres of wilderness and primitive areas and from about 4 8 million acres In 395 other special purpose or damage-prone areas. The environmental impact statement estimates the cost of putting the regulation process into action will total about $3 5 million. Annual cost of administration and en forcement after designation will amount to about $6 million, the report says. The final environmental statement was completed af ter the Forest Service con sidered and weighed com ments from the public on the draft statement which had been filed with the CEQ March 14, 1973, McGuire reported. He said a total of566 written responses were received on the proposed regulations and the draft statement. The responses represented all levels of government, private organizations, companies, formal groups and individ NEEDLE THREADERS DISCTSS PROJECTS The Needle Threaders plan to make quilts for the Good Samaritan Hospital in Hermi ston, and to take a club tour of the Pendleton Woolen Mills, according to Elizabeth Mc Kinney, reporter.

She drove around the area several minutes until she spotted where he was hiding and then coaxed him to her. Satisfied he had no injuries, she resumed her calls. Her calls took her into the country, and to a remote spot, where a tire went flat. She found the lug nuts had been put qn so tightly that she could not remove them. She started walking toward a ranch for help, and was overtaken by Bob Peterson and Dale Wood ward. They drove her back to her vehicle and helped her get the tire changed.

MUbsyic Country Revoo Bond IIKITNKK talks "I think there is a lot ol ignorance about the press, as there is about a lot of other professions." he prefaced his remarks. The press has its share of incompent and biased people, he said, but the press is not "riddled with incom-petents-we are Just more on display" than the other pro fessions. He pointed to the Watergate affair as evidence that the press is important to all Americans, and said that it is necessary that the press be free to give people a free flow of information. "It must be a free flow, not regulated by government agencies. The press must also be free to make mistakes: the press is either free or it is not." Citing the recent revolution in South America, the editor pointed out that the first thing a dictator does is take over the news media. People, he said, can best be handled if the people are kept in ignorance. And while the American press has its faults, it is still the best source of factual reporting and news free of government management.
