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

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. S.-built Liber
ator (Consolidated) bomber and
the pilot isn't going to be penal
ized for aerial speeding after
all. 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.
"A combination of the quali
ties of the airplane, an excep
tional tail-wind and magnificent
navigation' were then credited
