Slash Disposal Problems Discussed;
Forest Incendiarism Here Said High
it
i
t
Problem of slash disposal in
logging operations were dis
cussed Friday evening by
Dwight Phipps, deputy state for
ester, at a monthly meeting of
the Southern Oregon Conserva
tion and Tree Farm association,
held at the Jackson hotel.
The subject, which has caused
considerable controversy in sev
eral years, was chiefly concerned
with methods of burning slash,
the necessity for doing so, and
alternative rrfethods of disposal
now being considered
May Take Responsibility
Phipps said that some discussion
Is now being held with the possi
bility that responsibility for
flash areas where fire danger
potential is high may be as
sumed by protection agencies af
ter operators have paid a speci
fied sum for this protection.
They would thus be released
from additional fire responsibil
ity, he said.
At the start of the 1949 fire
leason, protection districts had a
carry-over from former years of
756,000 acres of logging slash,
Phipps said, representing an in
crease of 407,000 acres in the last
Six years.
The state's slash buring pol
icies are largely based on deci
sions made in the field by re
sponsible officials, he said,
acting within the framework of
general instructions laid down
by the state board of forestry.
Incediarism
Jim Walker, fire prevention
supervisor for seven counties
spoke of the increasing number
of incediary fires which have
been reported in recent years.
A total of 296 fires last season
were listed as incendiary, he
said, with more reDorted in Jack
son county than any other in the
state.
The evidence indicates that the
majority were maliciously set,
Walker reported, since five or
six sometimes would break out
simultaneously. He cited the case
of the Foots Creek fire, which he
said was set when a resident al
legedly was smoking out a bee
tree. Litigation on the fire, wnicn
cost an estimated $4,000, is still
pending, he said.
Reports Given
Lewis L- Simpson, secretary
manager of the association, re
ported on various phases of
activity affecting the lumber
industry, including road clasings
effects of the proposed Colum
bia valley administration, a pen
ding civilian conservation bin
and the new short wave radio
project of the association.
Bill LinBaas, new president,
was chairman at the meeting, at
which 59 members and guests
were present.
The average automobile scrap
ped today is 13 years old and has
traveled nearly 90,000 miles.

C of C To Move
To New Offices
Here Next Week
The office staff of the Jackson
County Chamber of Commerce
Manager Don Lane and Mrs.
Lance Pitts and Mrs. Willie
Fisher next week will move
into their colorful new office at
5 South Riverside avenue where
remodelling and redecorating
work is in the final stages.
The new quarters are in a por
tion of the space formerly occu
pied by Valentine's cafe, and
will be about twice as commodi
ous as the present temporary of
fice in the Medford hotel.
New Equipment v-
Modern gray steel office equip
ment has been installed and
painters are doing the interior
of the office in a series of green
tones ranging from chartreuse
on the ceiling to gray green on
the wainscoting. The front re
ception office is separated from
Lane's private office by a glass
partial wall and additional space
has been provided for mimeo
graph and addressograph ma
chines, and for the chamber's
large reference files.
The new location will put the
chamber in a better position to
serve northbound tourists, and
officials hope to have a sign in
stalled on Central avenue to di
rect southbound travelers to the
new location. Seventy-five per
cent of the valley's visitors come
from California.
Special parking privileges will
be made available to motorists
while they stop at the chamber.
It is expected that the new loca
tion will also be more conveni
ent for the hundreds of local
persons who use the chamber's
numerous services each week.
Spray Buds Now Agent
Advises Orchardists
Orchardists should apply late
pink bud spray now, according
to C. B. Cordy, county extension
agent for horticulture. For
brown rot and peach blight con
trol, the agent suggested the use
of a half pound of phygon or one
and a half pounds of ziram or
ferbam per 100 gallons.
One pound of 25 per cent para
thlon should be added for con
trol of both twig miner and
aphis, he said.
Peach growers who do not
care to use parathion could use
one and a half pounds of 50 per
cent DDT for twig miner and
one-third pint of 20 per cent or
one-sixth of 40 per cent TEPP
for aphis.
Suggested control for use in
home orchards is one hpnnine
tablespoon of ferbam, one heap
ing tablespoon of 50 per cent
Dun una one taDiespoon of black
leaf 40 in two gallons of water.

Veterans' Education
Program End Dated
Washington. Apr. 1 (U.R)
The veterans administration
warned ex-GI's today more
than 15 months in advance
that the veterans education and
training program runs out July

VA explained that it is issuing
the warning now to give veter
ans "ample opportunity'! to make
their plans.
Any veteran who is enrolled
in school on the terminal date
may complete his training, it
said. But he may not begin a
completely new course.
Any veteran whose schooling
has been temporarily interrupted
by summer vacation or other
reasons beyond his control
when the "cutoff" date comes
up, has the right to return to
school.
There are two exceptions to
the deadline date (1) veterans
who were discharged after July
25, 1947, and (2) individuals who
enlisted or re-enlisted under the
armed forces voluntary recruit
ment act.

Utica, N. Y., Apr. 1 (U.R) A
fire raged through a substation
of the Niagara-Mohawk Power
corporation today blacking out
10.000 homes for several hours
before electric power could be

plant in the heart of the city, and
the fire was brought under con

fine.
