p.m., Ken Miller, rector, said.
Miller said persons wishing
to intercede for the needs of

District Biologist for the
Oregon Wildlife Commission,
Glen Ward, gave a talk on the
present road closure program.
On the information given by
Glen Ward, the organization
voted unanimously in favor of
extending the road closure
program throughout the dis
trict. Benefits of the road
closure are for maintenance of
big game habitat and to
control the number of hunters
and hunter access to given
areas.
Each person present and
anyone else who is interested
in hunting and game habitat,
write their Congressmen and
to forest supervisors, both
district and National Forest,
asking road closure on all
logging areas where new
roads have been built into
previously primative and se
cluded areas for logging
purposes and in the future all
new timber sales be accom
panied by road closure plans
and the areas be returned to
the same inaccessibility by
motorized vehicles as it is at
the present time.
