The President, who talked about the dollars and cents of American foreign policy, received an honorary doctor of laws degree during the exercises. r I? jsn sevens jfe,, Pa Kettle's Forest Fire Hetty MacDonuld's famous story, The Esg and I, has a chap ter that is really a parable on the public problem and the pop ular appeal that the "Keep Green" movement represents. The chapter is on Pa Kettle and his forest fire. Here is a liberal quotation from it: "Even with the continual rain, July, August, September and even October were bad fire months in the mountains (the Olympics). If you wore unfortu nate enough to live on a ranch near the Kettles, any month was dangerous. It was" said that the Kettles set the original peat fires in the valleys and that one summer, Pa, to save himself the effort of mowing the lawn, set fire to the grass and burned off the front porch. The Kettles burned brush any old time of year and if the brush fire got away from them and burned five or ten acres of somebody's timber, that was too bad. Home in Danger "It was late October of the second year," Betty MacDon ald's story goes on to tell, "when Elwin Kettle drove excitedly into our yard one morning to tell us that their bar was on fire. He said, 'Pa filled the hay mow with wet hay and the darned stuff's combusted spontaneous. The barn's burnin' and it's set the brush in the ravine on fire, loo. Ma said to warn you it's probably come up this way be cause the wind's from the south "All afternoon cars chugged up our road and then scooted down toward the Kettles'. Bob had spread the alarm and the farmers were answering the call for help. I learned later that Bob had gone even further he had asked Maxwell Ford Jefferson, the moonshiner, to help and Jeff passed the word on to all his good customers. I made gallons of coffee and hundreds of sand wiches and at about four the fighters came filing wearily in, blackfaced and dirty. They ate sandwiches, drank coffee, and cursed the Kettles. "The smoke rolled up the draw and obscured the sun and stung my eyes while I put out the lanterns and fed the chick ens. Each batch of fighters brought more frightening news. The fire was almost to the road In several places!' The wind was getting stronger.' 'Once the fire hit the timber on our place we would have to run for our lives.' "- Save That Still I Such was the bad news. Then, at around seven in the evening Max Jefferson, the moonshiner, dropped by with a word of cheer. "Just thought I'd drop up and tell you not to worry, honey.

(the time was twenty years ago.) The fire grew worse in the night. Betty tried to choose what she would take with her in case she had to run for it.

Swing said today that his aim is "to add life to years. Not just years to life." He borrowed those words from the masthead of the Journal of Gerontology to describe his aim in calling the national confer ence on aging. To Discuss Full:' LIU Ewing has invited 1.200 per sons from all walks of life to meet with him here for three days in August to decide what can be done to make a fuller life for persons over 65. The white haired adminis trator, himself 81. obviously needs no help along those lines. But he made it clear that others approaching or beyond their 65th birthdays are looking for some thing that will add "life" to their years. Ewing is not thinking In terms of social security benefits. Continued Employment He is thinking of: 1. Continued employment for those over 65 who don't want to shed their harness and are physi cally and mentally capable of slaying at their Jobs, or perhaps switching to something more suitable lo their latter-year tal ents. 2. Recreation something to make more pleasant the hours of those who have retired or who, outside of their jobs, have leisure hours to fill. 3. Ways in which the oldsters can continue to make an active, contribution to the civic life of their communities. Response Great 4. What can be done for them medically and spiritually to make their life fuller. His aides said the response to invitations has been so great that there probably will be "'standing room only" when the conference convenes August -3. A major result anticipated from the conference is a cam paign to persuade Industry to cast aside the arbitrary retire ment ages now in existence.

Today, all but the worst of the Pa Kettles In both Oregon and Washington the Pa Kettles of the cities, too are in the line of march with all others for forest fire prevention. So we go forward!
