PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MATT TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1939. T FOREST SERVICE AFTER 25 YEARS Veteran Forester Retiring This Month Is Given Praise for Pioneer Work William L. Jones, superinten dent of construction of the Rogue River national forest, will retire this month after more than a quarter century in the U. S. forest service. During those years Mr. Jones has made an ever widening cir cle of friends in southern Ore gon and has become a charac ter that would be legendary but for the fact, that he is a real flesh-and-blood forest officer. He is thoroughly a woodsman, completely in love with the for est and all it means, the kind of forester the service likes to point to with pride as being typical. In a memorandum to Karl L. Janouch, supervisor of the Rogue River national forest, Mr. Jones said: "It grieves me very much to think about leaving the service. I have enjoyed the work very much although at times it has not been easy. I have stood in the muck up to my knees. with the snow and rain pound ing down my back, shoveling mud. I have stood up to forest fires trying to stop their spread when they were so hot the clothes were burning off my back. But I have tried to do my work like a man and with a smile. So I say that I hate to think of the time when I have to leave the service and all that it holds dear to me." Janouch Lauds Record In a reply memorandum Mr. Janouch said in part: "I do not know when I was so forcibly affected as when I received your memorandum notifying me of your desire to retire. You have been in the service since June 1, 1914. During that time you have pioneered the forest serv ice through its several stages of development. You have ex perienced most severe hardships and at the same time have pro gressed with the service In the betterment of the Rogue River national forest. "You have been caused to exert yourself under all kinds of trying conditions and have exposed yourself to the most severe weather, both hot and cold, and, as you say, you have done all this work very cheer fully and for the sake of the forest service. "I think you can take consid erable pride in the large part you have taken in building up the forest service to the present standards and in developing the appreciation of the public to ward the service as it exists to day. "Since you have taken such a large part In this development It occurs to me that possibly you feel well rewarded for your efforts." Praise From Chief In a letter to Mr. Janouch, Lyle Watts, regional forester at Portland, asked that expression be given to his appreciation of the "many years of excellent work which he (Jones) has per formed as a ranger and later as a staff man." Mr. Watts' letter continued: "He has played a large part In bringing about the greatly improved fire record which the Rogue River national forest has had during recent years as well as having contributed materially to the development of the im provement program of the for est. The excellent transportation system which the Rogue River now has is a real and fitting monument to his many years of service on your forest and I hope that as a private cltb.en with leisure time available he may still lend his Influence to all of the things that need to be done to accomplish better forest management and to bring about better forest conditions In his community." Mr. Jones will go on leave November 22 and his retirement will become effective at the termination of his leave. Ranger Aid First He entered the forest service here on June 1, 1014 as an as sistant ranger and has been with the Rogue River national forest continuously since then. He was ranger in charge of the Butte Falls district from 1916 to 1R20 acted as Jackson county fire warden, In cooperation with the state, in 1921 and became super Intendcnt of construction in the fall of 1921. As construction superinten dent Mr. Jones has had charge of all road and trail building and maintenance, including lo cation of routes, establishing camps, hiring crews and super vising the work of the men and equipment. When the CCC camps were established, he played an important part in In itiating effective work programs on the Rogue forest. He has also handled the safety program on the forest.

The mystery thriller is from the pen of Frances Shelley Wees. tion to his other duties, he was chief of a flying squadron for fire suppression in southwestern Oregon. In this position he was in charge of the suppression of the largest fires on the Rogue River, Siskiyou and Umpqua national forests. He has been a pioneer in the use of fire sup pression methods now accepted as standard. Mr. Jones makes his home with his wife at 343 Apple street. His interacts outside the forest service include bowling, hunting, archery and wood carving. While Mr. Jones is retiring, the traditions of the U. S. for est service will be carried on by the family. A son, William V. Jones, is supervisor of the San Bernardino national forest in southern California. That, Mr. Jones confesses, is the one bright spot in his retirement. DEBT LIU UFIG NOT TO BE ASKED IS Washington, Nov. 10. IIP) Secretary Morgenthau said today that neither President Roosevelt nor he would ask congress to lift the federal debt limit. The chief executive and treas ury head had been expected to recommend raising the debt ceil ing from $45,000,000,000 to prob ably $50,000,000,000 in order to clear the way for continued fed eral deficit spending. 'Congress makes the appro priations," Morgenthau said. "I am just the paymaster. If we get up to the debt limit, I won't draw checks for a penny more." He declined to estimate when the debt, now $41,188,960,554, would reach the limit, but said he would not be worried about It for at least a few months until congress meets again and has a chance to do something about the situation. Pressed by reporters as to whether he wanted congress to raise the debt limit, the secretary declined to answer flatly, but said he hoped congress would "keep it regular and legal. NOBEL PRIZE TO E.
