BICYCLE PATROL MEMBERS SIGN PLEDGES Member! of Jackson grade school's unique
e bicycle patrol have signed safety pledges provided by the Bicycle Institute of America in which
they agree to adhere to laws on safety, traffic and equipment and to have their bicycles inspected
regularly. Miss Hazel Swayne, Medford Safety council president, is shown presenting a pledge
certificate to Larry Gants, patrol captain. In the right background are, from the left, Kenneth
Tucker, Al Randies, PTA safety chairman and patrol organizer, and Don Davis, faculty safety

The patrol, only one of its kind in southern Oregon and perhaps in the state, has had the attention
of Secretary of State Earl Newbry. The youths call attention of children and adults alike to
walking and riding safety violations. Jackson school youngsters are cited Into a student court. .
Discussions of Log Scaling, Grading,
Heard by Conservation Group Members
Discussions of the possibility
of extending general service of
the Southern Oregon Scaling
and Grading bureau Into the
Medford area were heard Fri
day night by 106 members and
guests of the Southern Oregon
Conservation and Tree Farm as
sociation, meeting at the Grants
Pass Country Club.
Weldon Kline, timber engin
eer for Harbor Plywood com
pany and president of the newly
formed non-profit bureau, told
the groups plans for uniform
scaling and grading of logs for
members. The new corporation
will begin service Monday.
Cites "Advantages"
Among the advantages of the
bureau's service are the reform
of scaling and grading abuses.
Kline said, establishment of uni
formity, higher standards and
provision for expert scalers.
Several Rogue valley firms al
ready belong to the bureau,
among them White City Lumber
company, Kline said, and even
tually he hopes the service will
be uniform from Drain in the
north to Medford in the south.
Other discussions, mostly
technical in nature, concerning
the service were given by How
ard Haugen, manager and chief
scaler of the bureau and form
er scaler for the Columbia Scal
ing bureau, and other repre
sentatives of the firm.
No Agreement
No unanimity of opinion re
garding the need or desirabil
ity for the new service was
noted among operators attend
ing the meeting, and in discus
sions later many said they felt
that the services rendered would
not be w o f t h the fees and
charges in effect. These include
a $200 membership fee, a
monthly operating charge of
S150, plus the salary of a truck
scaler or a 20 cents per thous
and foot charge for wet scale.
Chet Irving, of the Pine In
dustrial Relations committee,
Klamath Falls, spoke to the
group in a talk that was largely
"off the record," when he dis
cussed his opinions of the im
minence of war, various matters
affecting lumbermen, and dan
ger of inflation.
His "on the record" remarks
included a background discus
sion of the Taft-Hartley law. and
a description of the fight to re
peal the law at the 1949 con
gressional session.
Cites Union Tactics
He also discussed union tac
tics in the west coast lumber
industry, saying that lumbering
is the only industry confronted
with two strong, opposing un
ions to any important extent.
He said that the CIO unions are
largely concentrating on wel
fare benefits, while the AFL
unions are chiefly concerned
with pension requests.
During the business session,
L. L. 'iDoc" Simpson, secretary
manager of the association, re
ported that he expects federal

sonville, his mother's parents,
the Armstrongs, having been
