Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNT, MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1942. PAGE THREE t'ADU Much of Area To Be Closed This Season Extra Pre cautions Needed On Fire. The war hai created many complicated forestry problems In the mountains of Oregon and Washington. The officials of the U. S Forest Service are prepar ing plans to close much of the national forests to use for rec reation and to restrict use of other areas during the 1942 fire season. Forest camps and resort areas adjoining highways and heavily used recreation roads vill remain open for use with out additional restrictions. Most of the high mountain country may be used after registration. Where carelessness or negli gence would quickly result in a disastrous fire, people othet than those having regular busi ness will not be permitted to enter Closures will not be put Into effect until the fire danger justifies, and they will be lifted in the fall when conditions are again safe. All those who use the national forests in the sum mer snould contact a local forest official during his regular work ing hours, so as to become in formed as to closures and re strictions and obtain necessary permits for each visit. Present Conditions The fire protection Job this k eason bids fair to be a difficult "one as reported by the U. S. Forest Service. War Industries and the armed forces have called many of the experienced forest men; industry and defense activities have consumed all surplus labor; many new peo ple unfamiliar with forest pro tection principles have come Into the forest for work; the use of Industrial or woods crews to fight forest fires will rob our fighting men and our allies of much needed supplies and equip ment: the uneasiness and hys teria caused by forest fires will strain already tense nerves and a smoke pall that will interfere with coastal defense activities Is something to be avoided. At no time in the history of the United States has the na tion's timber resource played such an important part in na tional welfare. The Rogue River National Forest and the adjoin ing timber'ands are one of the most important stands remain ing in the state of Oregon. The variety of species, as the Doug las fir, white pine, sugar pine, and ponderosa pine, all of which are highly valuable for lumber manufacture, are needed for a thousand uses to keep the pro duction lines of war materials operating. Cost Not AU The cost of extinguishing for est fires and the economic loss of the timber burned are not the only reasons for keeping fires nut of the forests. Smoke creat ed by such fires as the Cathill burn In 1910, Humbug mountain in 1931, and Poorman's creek in 193S, forms a thick blanket extending many miles from this region. Such a condition this summer might greatly aid enemy maneuvers in the local ity. As a result of these con ditions, positive and definite action is necessary. The Protection Job The Rogue River National f orest protects better than a million and a quarter acres of land An equal amount and more is protected by the State Forest Service and private agen cies in the neighborhood of the Rogue River National Forest. Lightning is the cause of many fires but man-caused fires still occur. A dense forest produces tremendous amounts of fuel on each acre and In just a few hours extreme weather condi tions will set the stage for great conflagrations in many places. Control is difficult and the losses heavy, but with all of the precautions taken and the high risks Involved, man-made fires have caused most of the damage. In addition to timber values, the Ashland and Medford mu nicipal watersheds must be pro tected. The watersheds of the Medford. Talent, and other Irri gation districts which, in addi tion to furnishing irrigation wa ter, furnish power for our power plants constructed at tremendous costs, also must be protected In the forest areas. Closures Extended Closures have been used for many years on the national for ests, and the general public knew little about them because the areas so restricted were small and of little recreational value Closures will be used cgain this season, but to a much I VWIS Easter Special Daffodil Cakes Delicious layer or angel food cakes, mad in marble effect, iced with a fluffy boiled icing and decorated with yellow daffodils to fit the occasion.

I Closures or restrictions coif templated on the Rogue River National Forest during the sum mer follow: Closed to all public entry except by permit will be power plant sites, power dams, con duits and transmission lines, old burns and snag areas where fires are most difficult to con trol, industrial and timber oper ating areas, and areas only lightly used by recreationists where a patrolman or watchman is not justified under present conditions. Slash areas also will be included in this class. Permits will be issued to all those regularly using the forests, such as loggers, settlers, miners, and stockmen, for specific areas and for legitimate business, but not for recreation. Permits will not be issued for fishing, berry picking or camping. These closures no doubt will Include somebody's favorite fish ing place or camping spot, but foregoing that pleasure one year should be more than repaid in better fire protection and as a contribution to winning the war by winning the forest fire battle. Highways which run through closures of this type will be open to through travel except for the possibility of checking travelers when conditions are extremely hazardous. Examples Cited , Examples of contemplated closures of this type are the areas In which the Medford Corporation operates in the Butte Falls region and the Southern Oregon Sugar Pine Company operations in the Union Creek region; all of the forest lying east of Crater lake and that lying west of upper Klamath lake, and the Ashland city watershed. Closed to public except by registration will be practically all of the remaining of the national forest except that part of the Applegate district not included in the Ashland city watershed and that part above Union creek to Diamond lake, except the Crater Lake highway will not be closed throughout its length. ' All persons young or old who ' enter or use these areas will be required to register and each person in the party will need a registration certificate. Regu lar forest users carrying on a business within the area will be Issued season-long registra tion certificates. After closures are put Into effect registrants should apply at ranger stations or other forest offices for certificates to enter these areas during regular hours. Because of the scarcity of man power and because of the In creased work load, registration service will not be available during the night. Applicants can write for registration certificates if necessary. Closures are a tool of manage ment to prevent fires and will be SDplied only when Indicated by the general or local fire danger. Wide publicity will be !iven when closures are put into effect late In the sprinp or the latter part of June. Most spring stream fishing should be over before the closures are put nto effect. Many mountain lakes will be available through registration ! and with campfire permits dur ing the summer. During the summer those who plan on using or visiting the national forests should become Informed on clos ures or restrictions by contact ing the local district ranger or forest supervisor. Employees of the U. S. Forest Service have been studying and developing forest protection methods and fire fighting tech niques for over 30 years, and they should be entitled to public confidence in their ability to choose the best available method of protection for each national forest. Questions regarding the loca tion, boundary, or type of clos ure should be discussed with the ranger or supervisor.

London, April 3 W) The new Newfoundland - to Britain flight record Is 400 minutes, the holder Is a U.

British authorities disclosed today The old trans-Atlantic mark was eclipsed by an hour. The average speed for the 2.200-mile trip was 330 miles an hour. The pilot was warned when he landed of prospective ' strict disciplinary action" because of a be'ief he had pushed the bomber's four motors beyond the limit assigned for ferry op erations, but he was exonerated at a ferry command inquiry.
