CRATER LAKE PARK
IN F I REC0NTR0L
All Forest Blazes Kept Un

Years Staff Organized
. For Fast, Efficient Work.
CRATER LAKE (Spl) Thunder
showers may bring relief from sum
mer heat but to national park rang
ers at Crater lake they bring long
hours of extra work.
During a recent thunderstorm over
the park the rangers were kept busy
suppressing forost fires caused by
lightning. Rangers under the direc
tion of Chief Ranger J. Carlisle
Crouch were on duty suppressing 11
lightning flrea all burning at one
time. A report from Superintendent
E. p, Leavltt's otlloe Indicates that
the damage from the fires was slight,
being oonflned In practically each
fire to single trees struck by light
ning. Among the national parks, Crater
Lake has had an exceptionally good
record In protecting the park for
ests from fire. In the past eight years
there have been no class 0 fires
burning more than 10 acres and only
eight class B fires burning over one
fourth acre and leas than 10 acres
The number of class A fires reported
Is 83, burning acre or leas. Of
the class A fires 67 were caused by
lightning and M were attributed to
man. The records Indicate that dur
ing the last eight years 99 percent
of the fires In the park were caused
by lightning, the remainder of 31
percent being man-caused.
Control Systematized
Protecting the forests haa been a
major activity of the national park
service at Crater lake. A system of
motorways for use only In forest pro
tection has been developed through'
out the park, Thorough surveys have
produced maps Indicating the type
of ground cover and the location
of streams and springs that can sup
ply water In the event of fire. Not
the least Important factors In the
park's record of forest protection have
been the trained staff, Including
rangers and COO enrollees. and the
cooperation of the U. 8. forest serv
ice and the V. 8. Indian service.
Within the park two fire lookout
stations are maintained during the
fire season. One lookout station Is
located on the Watchman on the
west rim of Crater lake. The other,
maintained by the cooperation of the
forost service and the Indian aerv
lea, la located on the summit of Mt.
Scott, highest point In the park.
With the two lookout stations In the
park and a number of forest serv
ice and Indian service lookouts in
the surrounding national forests
there la practically one hundred per
cent visibility of the forests In tho
Crater lake region.
The fire lookout atatlons are fully
equipped for detecting the location
of fires and directing ground orewa
In suppressing fires. Rangers on duty
In the lookout stations are In con
atant communication by short wave
radio and telephone with the flro
dispatcher's office at park headquar
ters. Prom reports received from var
ious lookouts the fire dispatcher can
quickly Indicate the location of a
fire. A glance at his maps will Indi
cate the type of forest in which tho
fire Is burning, the distance to th
fire by motorway, and- the location
of the nearest supply of water. With
that Information a properly equipped
crew can be dispatched to the fire.
Radio Contact Aids
Even." after the flre-flghtlng crew
la on a fire the look jut. ranger, com
municating by field radio, can assist
in fighting the fire. Frequently from
his lookout .station he can supplj
valuable Information regarding the
size of the fire, wind direction and
velocity, and spot flrea advancing
ahead of the main fire line.
The public Is Invited to visit the
lookout stations. The ranger on duty
will explain the work of forest pro
tection. From both the Mt Scott
and the Watchman lookouts one has
an exceptional view of Crater lake
and the surrounding forested region
Both lookouts are accessible by good
trails leading off from the crate.

of scenic, scientific and historic

enough pennies, nickels, dimes, quar
ters, dollars and gold rings to buy
beer for themselves by the case.
CORVALLIS (Spl) HOW wheat
growers may set aside enough grain
this year to pay for their federal
crop Insurance for both 1939 and
1940 haa been explained by official;
of the federal crop Insurance cor
poration In thla region. Provisions for
accepting wheat to cover two years'
premiums were made In the amend
ment to the federal crop Insurance
act toward the close of the last ses
sion of congress.
When a grower turns over wheat
to pay the premium on insurance
ror his 1939 crop he may, If he wishes,
turn over Just double the amount,
It Is explained. The extra wheat Is
considered as a deposit and Is not
the same as a premium payment,
although the advantages to the
grower are practically the same, rhe
corporation la not permitted to sell
crop Insurance policies for more than
the current year but the corporation
will accept the extra deposit of wheat
and will pay storage costs on It In
case the grower takes out a policy
later for the 1940 crop.
A farmer may not deposit more
wheat than the number of bushels
he pays as premium for his 1939 In
surance. This amount may be slightly
more or less than bis premium will
be for 1940, aa the exact rat wlU
not be determined until neat year,
but It la expected that It will ap
proximate his premium for 1940 .In
surance. This plan provides an ad
ditional outlet for surplus wheat to
Insured wheat growers aa It enables
them to put aside wheat now for
payment of premiums next year when
the price of wheat may be different.
The appointment of William Clo
hessy aa manager of the Spokane of
fice of the federal crop Insurance cor
poration has also been announced by
the A.A.A. Mr. Clohessy haa been
A.A.A. wheat specialist In Portland
since 1936, handling the flour export
program. He has been In grain mar
keting during his entire business ex
perience. '
Clyde Kiddle, ststs supervisor of
crop insurance for Oregon, with of
fices at Oregon state college, says
that all county offices are now pre
pared to receive applications for
wheat Insurance.

VARIETY in the LUNCH
BOX MEANS a LOT!
Most men dislike to know in advance
what they will have for the next meal.
Years ago we changed boarding places
because our lunch box sandwiches were
always made from the leftovers from
the night before.
You may pack different sandwiches every day, yes you
may put several kinds in the same lunch and save money
while you are doing it.
With more than 30 inexpensive cooked meats to choose
from you -may plan ahead so that the lunch will never
beoome tiresome. Assort the meats as you wish. Plan
Just how many sandwiches you will make and we will
give you the exact number of assorted slices of any meats
you will need for a given number of sandwiches.
Surprise the boys with different sandwiohes every day
and the kicks will change to compliments.
We know that packing a daily lunch is ordinarily a
mighty hard Job. Not so, however, from our wide vari.
ty of luncheon meats.
