ford are proving very coopera
tive with the new billoting of
firn lncated in the Rogue Valley

the directors state.

a plea to Scouts and friends not

the stamps are not sufficient.

cure special food allotments
from the state office and only 11
pounds, of sugar was secured, di

CURBED; FALLING
HUMIDITY FRETS
Portland, Ore., Aug. 4 (U.R)
Loggers and soldiers today
gained the upper hand on the
nearly month-old Tillamook
burn in western Oregon al
though falling humidity over
the weekend left the fire in a
critical stage.
Bulldozers, truck and portable
pumpers and hand tools were
used by hundreds of fire fighters
to consolidate gains against the
fire made in the past few days.
Spot fires were still raging with
in the 225,000 acre checkerboard
area but backfires and wide
bulldozer fire trails were grad
ually hemming them in.
It was the first time since the
fire started on July 11 along the
Wilson river that the fire fight
ers approached even odds in the
continuing battle to save green
timber, partially reforested
lands, lumber camps and city
watersheds.
A humidity forecast of only 30
was set for Sunday, reducing the
woods to tinder dryness and giv
ing Forestry officials renewed
anxiety whether the hard-won
fire trails will hold.
