AUGUST 10, 1931 PAGE ELEYEH LIKE THEIR LAND Suggestion for Evacuation of Drought-Stricken Area Meets Firm Opposition Turn in Tide Is Visioned By Herbert Plummet WASHINGTON (AP) Th federal reclamation bureau let Itself In for more than It anticipated when Iti head, Dr. El wood Mead, suggested evacuation of the drouth -stricken western half of the Dakota and the eastern slope of the Rocky moun tains. The Immediate reaction of the af fected area to Dr. Mead's proposal apparently settles the question. The government's Job Is to help these people stick It out rather than to vacuste them. The explanation, say specialists here, lie. in the fact that the people of the wv?stern plains have In them that pioneer blood which Is strong because, as the saying goes, "the cowards never started and the weak lings never got there.' Lawrence Westbrook, assistant dir ector In charge o federal emergency drouth relief, says the problem of helping these people has to a, large extent developed into one of helping them where they are. Telephone Story He cited a county in which 500 families are trying to eke cut a liv ing on 430,000 acres which have a value of only $1 to $3 an acM and, as farm land, should be abandoned. "Most of them expect to stay in this section, however," he added, "ir respective of action taken by the government." Westbrook believes the records of the telephone company best tell the story of whether these homesteaders are running to cover or standing fast. The first county in one state to be designated as an "emergency drouth area" has 109 telephones in rural homes today as against 83 on the first of this year. Out of the 369 rural telephones in the county men tioned above where 500 families are trying to "eke out a living," only eight have been discontinued this year. In the 10 drouth counties of this particular state which first were des ignated as drouth areas, the total number of telephones has Increased this year from 603 to 671. They'll "Stick" "These people were skating on thin ice above a fire-box," says West brook, "and! now the inevitable has happened. But they want to stick It out until nature and agricultural progress bring them another period of comparative prosperity. "Desirable as it might be to shift them to better -watered lands, the stubborn spirit which makes these folk hold fast to the scorched areas they have won at such a cost can not be Ignored by the government." The reply of one western South Dakota rancher to Dr. Mead's pro posal to move the people out of the arid areas ii typical of the feeling of all, it Is said. "There's been lots of money made In western South Dakota," he said, "and there'll be plenty made In the future." Bob Slinger Wins Promotion General Petroleum Company Bob Slinger, who has recently been associated with the Oeneral Petro leum corporation as one of the at tendants of the new station at Main and Ivy streets, has been promoted to the position of manager of the Oeneral Petroleum station at 600 East Main street, according to the an nouncement made yesterday by Ted Hlgglna, the southern Oregon District Manager. This promotion comes aa recognition for the excellent service Mr. Slinger has rendered this com pany during the past months. Bob Slinger is well-fitted to fill the position as manager of the new East Main street station, as he has been connected with the oil industry in this section of southern Oregon for several years.

"You will sea there Is something else worth while besides the struggle for the almighty dollar. "The men are building fire trails, fire breaks, developing the natural resources of the forests, stopping de vastating fires end developing psrk areas." The director reminded the people of Medford and the west that because of this fine territory and the opportu nity for ao much development that thousands of boys from eastern sec tions had been sent to camps on the Pacific coast. Has Helped Medford. "The Civilian Conservation corps has helped Medford a great deal, with headquarters here for numerous camps. The CCC has bought 30.000 trucks, millions of gallons of gaso line, and has spent millions for cloth ing and food." he said. "For winter camps, an order was placed for 350 million feet of lumber, said to be the largest peace time order in his tory. Dally 9130.000 Is spent for food and the surgeon general's report shows that the health of the men Is better than the enlisted men In the regular U. S. army." Mr. Cammerer, who has been with the park service for 30 years, and for 15 years had been assistant director of the national park service, was named director last year, adding to his duties the supervision of the buildings and reservations, which also Include national monuments. The psrk head, who also gave a brief address, highly praised Mr. Fechner, saying "He has put his time. energy and soul Into the first thing to come out of the new deal, and it is inspiring to see how well the unit Is functioning." Tells of Serrlce. Mr. Cammerer explained how the park service was abolished last August, and the new department formed by Joining together several departments and eliminating others. The scope of the department, as explained by him. Is tremendous. A department of the interior building is now being constructed at a cost of $10,000,000; 9350,000 Is being put into work on the White House, and numerous other projects are now underway. "This la national park year, and I urge you to make every year such. There is plenty of money, plenty of people are traveling and plenty of people spending money." Mr. Cammerer detailed how parks and monuments were being started and built up In the east as well as the west. "You people can appre ciate already having the land without having to buy it back for these pro jects, as Is necessary in the east," he said. "It has been pressing for years past that this country needs recreated forest areas, and this cannot be equalled by other countries." Cammerer Likes Area. Mr. Cammerer was a visitor to Med. ford and Crater lake a year ago, and last evening expressed the desire that he might at some time be able to come here and make his permanent home. The gathering also had the pleas ure last evening of greeting Colonel C. O. Thomson, superintendent of Tosemite National park, having for merly been superintendent of Crater Lake National park. He told of the many friends he and Mrs. Thomson had made during their stay in Med ford, and they also plan to return here to make their home, upon re tirement. Ben E. Harder, president of the Jackson County Chamber of Com merce, prealded as toast master and the Cavemen and Cavewomen from Grants Pass, attired in their skin garbs, brought greetings to the na tional leaders. Raymond Lageson, accompanied at the piano by Fred Alton Halght, sang 'To Crater Lake" and "wagon Wheels." Music during the evening was played by the Melody Boys. Grants Pass Represented. C. C. Demaray, president of the Orants Pass Chamber of Commerce, was introduced, and Don Newbury, attorney for the Craters club, read lengthy resolutions passed at a recent meeting, thanking government of ficials for the Williams creek cut-oil to Oregon Caves (which has never been built).
