Asks comments on fire management People have until Aug. 4 to comment on a proposed policy change to permit trained spe cialists to ignite and manage prescribed fires in national forest wilderness areas states a news release from the Unit ed States Department of Agri culture. R. Max Peterson, chief of the U.S. Department of Agri culture's Forest Service, said today the policy change would reduce the risk of wilderness wildfires and permit fire to return to its natural ecological role in these areas. "Our earlier policy of promptly suppressing all fires resulted In the unnatural ac cumulation of dead brush and trees in some wilderness areas," Peterson said. "This change would permit us to use fires to reduce unnatural fuel accumulations and allow fire once again to play its natural role In the ecology of wilder ness ecosystems." Under the change, all plan ned fires used In wilderness would have to be approved by the appropriate regional for ester. A team of resource experts - botanists, wildlife biologists, fire and recreation .managers. would carefully study each situation and make a recomendation on the need for planned fire. The public also would be included in each decision. Peterson said authority for the use of prescribed fire in wilderness Is provided by the 1964 Wilderness Act which says "such measures may be taken as may be necessary in the control of fire...subjecty to such conditions as the secre tary (of agriculture) deems desirable." The Forest Service adminis ters 25.5 million acres of the National Wilderness Preserv ation System, or about 85 percent of the wilderness out side of Alaska. Comments should be mailed to R. Max Peterson, Chief, Forest Service, USDA, P.O. Box 2417, Washington, DC. 20013. Further information is available from Ed.

It is safe to touch; if you hold a piece of it in your hand and wait, it will melt New drinking & driving law effective July 1 Starting July 1, anyone caught driving under the influ ence of Intoxicants (DUII) will have their driver's license automatically suspended for at least 90 days by the Motor Vehicles Division. A person is considered to be DUII if he or she registers .08 or above on the Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) test, commonly known ass the breath test says the Oregon Traffic Safety Com mission. Although the effect of alco hol on an individual depends on a number of different fact ors, generally speaking, a 160 pound male who drinks two to four beers, glasses of wine, or mixed drinks in one to two hours will register .08 or a bove. This is the result of the new drinking law. Senate Bill 710 (SB 710) passed in the 1983 Legislature. According to Oregon Traffic safety Com mission Administrator Gil Bellamy, the new law "is a major step forward in reduc ing the number of unneces sary deaths caused by drink ing drivers." Major provisions of SB 710 are: immediate suspension of driver's license by the Motor Vehicles Division for refusing to lake the breath test. The suspension is one year for the first refusal; three years for subsequent refusals. immediate suspension of driver's license by the Motor; Vehicles Division for failing the breath test by registering , .08 or above. The suspension is 90 days for the first offense; one year for subsequent offen ses. mandatory minimum pen alty if convicted in court of DUII of either 48 hours in jail or 80 hours of community service. limited availability of oc cupational licenses. According to Belismy, "the law reflects the growing intol erance of Oregoninas toward drinking drivers who cause so much tragedy on our high ways." A related law, House Bills 2975, which went into effect October 15, 1983, states a person between ages 13 and 17 who is convicted of breaking any law involving alcohol or controlled substances will be denied driving privileges. Suspension for the first offen se is one year or until the person becomes 17, whichever is longer; second offenders are suspended for one year or until the person becomes 18, whichever is longer. r ... m fr ... 1 i i J ydifci&do NUMBER 1 AROUND THE WORLD Fully Automatic Moisture Temperature Indicators O No weighing O Direct moisture & temperature read-out O Weighs only 2 pounds O Remote sensing thermometer for grain, hay, corn, rice, seed, potatoes etc. O Temperature range from 0 to 200F. 0 7'i foot silo probe available.
