K. P. McReynolds, Junior forester
of the Rogue River National forest
was the principal speaker at the
regular weekly meeting of the Kl
wanla club at the Hotel Medford this
noon. In outlining the difficulty in
keeping fires from our forests, he
drew a comparison with the city
of Medford.
He pointed out that In Medford
there are over 11,000 people to aid
In fighting a fire If necessary. In
the forest, with 900,000 acres in the
Crater Lake forest alone, there are
fewer than 100 men to fight a blaze.
McReynolds told the Klwanlans
that as many of the flrea In the
Rogue River forest last year were
hv men aa all the others
combined. He stressed the responsi
bility of tne public in cuminaiuis
this needless waste, suggesting that
any person seeing a fire In the forest
report It immediately, and for every
one to be careful about smoking In
the forest, and then throwing away
the lighted atubs.
if th nnhllr. would cooDerate. he
said, a great many of the tires could
be eliminated entirely.
Fletcher Fish also spoke to the
Klwanlans. regarding the opening
next week of the Oregon state fair.
He urged a large attendance of
southern Oregon people.
Entertainment was furnished by
Mrs. E. C. Calkins, soprano. She sang
,n nnmlwM "When I Grow TOO

for her encore delightfully surprised
her audience, singing an original
composition of Sebastian Apollo's,
which has Just been released.
The original number of Apollo's
was "Tour Shadow and Mine." and
it was greeted with thunderous ap

The bill empowers the securities
commission to supervise the flotation
of securities, sales of power, and fl- j
nanclng and operating methods of
utility holding companies In general.
where strictly Intrastate activities are
not concerned.
It calls for compulsory abolition of
holding companies In general with a
compromise proviso that two holding
companies may be erected upon one
system of adjacent operating compan-
Thta oecomes effective January
1, 1938.
Subsidiaries and affiliates of hold
ing company systems performing en
gineering, accounting, construction
and other services for the operating
companies must do so at cost under
the provisions of the bill. Advocates
said this provision was Intended to
end abuses arising from practices un
der which, they contended, operating
companies were compelled to sub
scribe to such services and pay ex
orbitant fees.
' A provision which was a source of
contention throughout the shaping
up of the measure permits holding
companies to Issue bonds secured by
a first lien on their own physical
assets or the physical asseta of sub
sidiaries, with the securities commis
sion empowered to say In Individual
cases whether other assets, such as
common stocks, might be substituted.
Gas Is covered only in title 1 of the
bill relating to holding companies. No
provision Is made for regulating of
