PAGE TEN MEDFOPD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY. DECEMBER 8, 1942 PARK ACTIVITIES CUT TO MINIMUM Personnel and Visitors Ab sent Roads Closed For Winter; Visitation Lowest J'VILLE SETTLES By DorU Pirn Crater Lake National park hu hibernated for the winter perhaps (or the duration. Equipment used to clear the roadi Into the park (or mow porta enthusiasts and sight-seen has gone to war. E. P. ieavin, park superintendent, has an nounced that one snow plow has already been released to the army (or snow clearance on air (ield runways, and other units are expected to be requisitioned as the need requires. Personnel necessary to keep the park open in winter also have gone to war. It Is no longer possible to maintain the crew of from 13 to Zu men amea by an equal number of CCC boys whose duties were to pat rol the park, render first aid, dispense information, maintain accommodations, operate snow plows and keep utilities In working order. Visitors Cone Too Moreover, those who made up the large number o( winter visi tors have gone to war, too. If not In the services or war indus tries, they are at least aiding in the war effort by staying at home to conserve rubber. An indication of how the war has affected travel to the park li seen In figures released by Leavitt They show the num ber of visitors (or the travel year ending September 30, 1042, aa 100,079, just a little over one third as many as in 1941 and actually less than the number in 1932, a low depression year. Winter visitors alone dropped from 28,188 in 1940-1 to a little over half that number in 1941-2. Next year, with gas rationing in effect, even summer visitors will be as rare as the second cup of coffee. Park Roads Closed This winter will be the first since 1933-6 that the park has not been accessible. For sev eral years prior to that, a snow plow shuttle service had kept a one-way passage open from headquarters to the south and west entrances, where plugs were left to prevent travel by the public. The chief purpose was to facilitate an early sum mer opening. Urgent public demand finally brought full winter clearance of the roads. Since then, It has become recognized as one of the outstanding winter playgrounds of the country. Park service records, how ever, show that there were as many people attracted to the lake by Its winter beauty aa by now sports. They had come to look forward each year to the time when enveloping whiteness of the crater walls lent an un earthly quality to the blueness lot the lake; when the cool ser 'enlty of the scene made It diffi cult to realize that an inferno of heat, an eruption of violent forces had brought it Into be ing. Although few are present to be stirred by its snowclad beauty, there will be many to whom the memory of Crater Lake In winter will give added Incentive to bend every effort toward successful conclusion of the war so that its pleasures again may be enjoyed.

T FAST IS FARMER'S PLAINT Federation Told Cost of Gov ernment Greater Threat Than Rising Cost of Food. Chicago, Dec. 8 (U.B Ed ward A. O'Neal, president of the American Farm Bureau Federa tion, told the federation's 24th annual meeting today that the rising cost of government Is a much greater threat than Is the cost of food. 'The trouble that farmers have had with the government as a partner," he said, "is that once a board or bureau Is established it inevitably begins to grow like a mushroom. If the need (or it becomes less, then it tries to grow still bigger. 'The reason is that large number of people get a vested Interest In it, and then the main object in their lives becomes the protection of that vested inter est.". Would Run Show He said ."the government in variably comes to the point where It Insists on running the whole show." O'Neal advocated a basic work week In Industry of 54 hours. "I, (or one," he said, "do not believe that this war will be won on the basis of a 40-hour week. Lengthening the work week would do much to solve the critical manpower situation. "Farmers are perfectly willing to work 70 to 80 hours a week to produce additional (ood and (iber needed, and to do it with out demanding any premium (or the entire production. They be lieve that other groups should do likewise in order to prevent inflation in this critical emer gency." 'There Is grave danger," he continued, "of monopoly prac tices in labor as well as in busi ness. The labor movement Is go ing ' through the adolescent stage, and it needs direction and discipline."

Bergstrotn, Oakland, Cal., and Robert B. Hurd, Eagle Point, Ore. ' It could not be immediately learned where or when Robert B. Hurd entered the army, nor who his parents are.

TO SELL TIRES Motorists who still possess Idle tires should call their nearest Railway Expres agency to pick them up, or should take them to the agency immediately, express officials warned today.
