The Morrow County Histori­
cal Society met at the home of
Jean Nelson for the regular
meeting of the board of direc­
tors. Minutes were read and
approved, and the treasurer's
report was given.
It was announced that the old
city hall building, which is near
the Padberg Machine Shop
now owned by Carmen and
Dan Looslie has been donated
to the city of Lexington. The
group hopes it will soon be set
in another location, available to
the tourists and city people.
The group has voted to reroof
the building as soon as it can be
placed and Bob Reaney will
work with the group in arrang­
ing pictures and other objects
of interest in the building. This
will include a good part of Sam
McMillan's pictures.

Seems it's being debated about the continuance of the Forest
Service agency as we know it, due to a significant loss of timber
revenue. If all trees are to be admired rather than allow some
harvesting, perhaps computers will become obsolete and, for lack
of paper, we could always doodle on stone slates.
Maybe it should just be renamed ''People Service" to justify
the lengthy studies about soil, water and wildlife by scientists
and other experts on environmental conditions.
Having tromped through windfalls, pole thickets and dead and
dying trees, it's difficult to appreciate nature's bounty when one
looks like they tangled with a wildcat in the middle of a jungle.
With the vast amount of wilderness areas, current policy seems
to be to just let it bum. It would be nice to keep everything
pristine, but even the Indians burned the underbrush each fall,
not just to smoke venison.
It was mind-boggling when I read about Forest Service per­
sonnel and volunteers packing stashed camp gear out of the
Naches Wilderness Area on their backs. We're talking about 50
gallon barrels, camp stoves and stashes of canned goods that ap­
parently were dropped by helicopter so that hunters could return
to that area. Since it's forbidden to use vehicles in a wilderness
area, that article said the use of pack animals would mean cut­
ting a trail through several miles of brushy, uphill ground. Or
perhaps they didn't want to diaper those animals.
Apparently this personnel didn't have the latest technology
on how to obliterate things. A two-page informational sheet,
developed and published by the Forest Service, gives explicit in­
formation and diagrams on how to place 55 pounds of dynamite
over and under a horse carcass for total obliteration. This hopeful­
ly won't be used by amateurs or a mad bomber, since it says it
was developed by the USDA Forest Service for the guidance of
