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.

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.
