FACTORY 200 Cubic Foot Load Dial 2123 S fall W lC!l) Timber Products company I SET NEW RECORD Jackson County will receive $74,400 from National Forest receipts for the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1944, it was announced today by Karl L. Janouch, local Forest Super visor. This payment represents Jackson County's share of the 25 per cent of the receipts of the Rogue River National For est which is paid to the counties each year on the basis of Na tional Forest acreages, in lieu of taxes for roads and schools. The payment, an Increase of $45,000 over last year, is high est in the history of the Forest. It is abnormally high because of the war demand for timber, Mr. Janouch said, and there is little likelihood of maintaining such high payments during the post-war period. He believes, however, that the planned sus tained yield cutting operations will keep the payments at a substantial level throughout fu ture years. Of the 31 counties In Oregon, Jackson County receives the third highest amount, larger payments being made to Klam ath and Lake counties. Jackson County receives approximately one-ninh of the total payment to Oregon, because of the high receipts of the Rogue River Na tional Forest. CIO INSECURE IS AFL ASSURANCE Washington.
