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

are now closed to avert
resource damage or to provide
for special management ob
jectives, such as hiking areas,
nature trails, national scenic
trails, trails leading to wil
derness and trails limited to
travel by foot and horse.
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

Into the rear wheel just as
Mrs. Crabtree parked her car.
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.
Mrs. Crabtree then had a
relatively quiet period. Until
that evening when the gravy
she was fixing went lumpy!

may do so during the Thurs

"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.

'improve
highway'
-lone
A petition is being circu
lated in (one that requests the
assistance of the League of
Eastern- Oregon Counties to
assist in getting Highway 74
improved from Lexington to
Heppner Jet.
The petition cites dangerous
rock bluffs, broken and soft
shoulders, narrow stretches of
roadway and hazardous pas
sing conditions. It requests
that improvements be made.
The petition also states
there have been seven deaths
in 10 years on this stretch and
that there have been no less
that 35 non-fatal accidents. It
points out that the first curve
north of lone is only 18' i feet
from the rock bluff to the
guardrail, and that most of the
highway is only 20 feet wide.
The highway was built in
1918 and little has been done in
intervening years to accom
modate increased traffic.
