JBLM eek input on river use The Bureau of Land Man agement wants public opin- ' ions concerning methods to avoid overcrowding the nat ion's popular recreation rivers which run through lands it manages. Nationwide rules will be proposed based on public comments received through February 8 and from experi ence already gained in man aging the use of such rivers as the Rogue, Deschutes, John Day and Owyhee in Oregon. Both commercial and priv ate use of the Rogue are managed under cooperative agreement with three other Federal and state agencies. On the Deschutes, John Day, and Owyhee rivers, commerc ial permits are required, but with no quotas set and no permits required for private use. BLM National Director Frank Gregg said, "The tremendous interest in some river areas makes them so overcrowded that no one can enjoy them. We hope that through better management, the recreation experience will be enjoyable and worthwhile." BLM is seeking opinions on options for managing use, such as advance reservations, lottery, first-come-first-served, price, merit, or a combination of these and others. Where there is com petition between commercial and non-commercial users, the agency seeks to develop a fair and equitable method to allocate the use. Another objective is to consider complaints that some commercial boating operators illegally have sold recreation permits issued by BLM Written comments should be addressed to: Bureau of Land Management (WO 37(1).

I r - - - - - National recognition was gain ed last year, said Dave Miller, department head and vocal music instructor, when local radio station KUMA ran a spot about the carol-a-gram pro gram. The item was picked up by the Associated Press and run nationwide, spotlighting the BMCC music department. Carol-a-grams can be deliver ed anywhere locally, and can be scheduled by calling Miller at 276-1260, ext. 305. Minimum cost is $5 per gram. Tamarack and pine fire wood, cut by music students, is being sold for $40 a cord, and can be ordered by calling 276-8892. Delivery will take about three weeks. A recycling program is conducted on the second Tuesday of each month in the Armory parking lot, and music students are also carol ing for downtown merchants on Saturday afternoons. Miller said that Christmas trees will also be sold as Christmas approaches. De tails will be posted. Other planned projects in clude operating the conces sions at home basketball games, working for the Com munity Concerts program in Pendleton, and staging car washes, a raquetball tourna ment and discos at area high schools. The Hawaii festival, to be held Apr. 17-24, is part of the continuing International Music Festivals put on by Performing Arts Abroad, Inc. . The program's purpose, said Weddle, is to promote and award excellance in perform ing groups. During last year's festival, held in Garden Grove, Calif., the BMCC swing choir was awarded a silver medal and the chorale a bronze medal, a feat topped by no other schools. Groups are judged against international stan dards of excellance rather than against each other. Weddle said that only one other silver medal was award ed throughout the festival. The official invitation for the Hawaii Festival of Music, sent by Auditions Chairman Wilfred Bain, retired Dean of the School of Music, Indiana University, was "extended on the basis of the musical accomplishments achieved in your audition fanp " Firewood use is up in National Forests Pacific Northwest residents collected a record amount of free firewood from National Forests during fiscal year 1978. Permits for the use of 630,108 cords of firewood were issued on the 19 National Forests in Oregon and Wash ington in 1978, compared to 489,200 cords the previous year. Actual volume removed, however, is estimated to be only about two-thirds of the total listed in the permits. Permits to Oregon residents totaled 499,538 cords, while in Washington the figure was only 130,480 cords. Estimated value of the 1978 harvest was $513,026. Forest Service Regional Forester R.E. (Dick) Worth ington said the demand for firewood has grown rapidly in recent years, and will prob ably continue to expand in the foreseeable future. The Regional Forester said use of firewood "serves sever al purposes, including the use of material that otherwise would have to be left to rot or burned on the ground. Its use also helps defray the rising cost of heat from electricity and fossil fuels as well as to reduce consumption of those fuels." 1 RUBBER" 1 I . STAMPS ! I 1 676-9223 ' 1
