TWILT8 MEDrOBD (OHEOOW) MAIL TRIBUNE

0 and C Right of Way Regulations Defended,
Attacked at Well-Attended Meeting Here Friday
An audience of more than 100
loggers, sawmill operators and
other woods industry members
and guests heard a detailed de
fense and explanation of import
ant new O and C forest right-of-way
regulations Friday night by
Daniel L. Goldy, regional admin
istrator of the bureau of land
management.
Goldy, addressing a gather
ing sponsored by the Southern
Oregon Conservation and Tree
Farm association, told the lum
bermen: Point. Cited
(1) The regulations apply only
to rights of way across O and C
government owned, or "checker
board" ownership lands;
(2) There is no danger of
operators who make agreements
under the regulations becoming
subject, on that agreement, to fu
ture changes in regulations;
(3) That the regulations do not
apply if they are not needed to
solve right-of-way problems if
agreement between operators
takes care 67 any questions which
arise;
(4) The regulations are more
of a limitation of the authority
of the government than they are
upon the rights of operators;
(5) They provide an equitable
way of solving difficulties or
disputes among operators with
out taking them to court, at the
same time reserving to the oper
ator the right to court remedies,
and
(6) They provide the govern
ment with the tools to protect
public lands and to fulfill its
obligation to negotiate mutual
problems with industry mem
bers. Interest Shows Importance
The interest shown by lumber
and forest men at the meeting
was a reflection of the fact that
more than one quarter of all the
land within the entire Medford
district (totaling 1,085,000 acres)
la owned by the bureau of land
management, most of which is
administered by the O and C of
fice here.
Principal objection to Goldy's
defense of the regulations was
TOiced by Floyd Hart, president
of Timber Products company
here, a member of the state board
of forestry, and a member of the
state O and C advisory board
which proposed the regulations,
and the board's sub-committee
which drew them up. Hart's ob
jections made at the meeting
were similar to those he express
ed at a local advisory board meet
ing Thursday.
Disagreement Told
Hart said, and reemphasized,
that there was substantial dis
agreement regarding their work
ability by those drawing the reg
ulations. He cited the difficulty
of dealing with a government bu
reau, and said the regulations
were drawn in an "atmosphere
of confusion," with many drafts
and redrafts, each changed some
what. "This problem is not as sim
ple, as easy or as nice as has
been pointed out tonight, Hart
said. "I don't believe we have
to submit to a government bu
reau telling us how to run our
business. And in the matter of
appealing decisions (mentioned
earlier by Goldy) we have to ap
peal to the guy who appointed
the guy who first said, 'no,' " he
added.
Cites Eminent Domain .
"There are no real problems
here," Hart said, and he cited
the state constitution's provision
for operators' rights of eminent
domain as the most effective
method of solving difficulties.
Each new set of regulations
promulgated by a federal bu
reau, Hart said, covers more ter
ritory, creates more limits upon
the independence of action of
Amputees Roundly Applaud
For Floradora Exhibition
New York, June 14 (U.R)
Six burly young men danced
across a stage in a floradora
number. They twirled pink para
sols, leered and flounced.
The audience rose and ap
plauded. Three of the young
men were leg amputees, three
arm amputees.
Climax of Program
The floradora sextet was the
climax of a program at the vet
e r a n s' administration offices,
where today the world's largest
exhibit of appliances and aids
for the disabled was open to the
public.
The exhibit shows the prog
ress made from the days when
a feudal knight who had lost a
leg wore a heavy iron appliance
to balance him on a horse, to the
present-day testing of a hy
draulic knee unit which allows
the wearer to run and jump.
The veterans administration,
which maintains a testing, re
search and development labora
tory here, put on a show for
scientists, inventors, physicians,
and manufacturers which recall
ed Peter Stuyvesant and his peg
leg, Sarah Bernhardt and her
wooden leg, and starred Boris
Karloff as Captain Hook.
Armless Man Act
Then, the burly "disabled"
young men went to work. Jerry

Restaurant Reopening
At Central Point
Central Point, June 24 An
nouncement was made here yes
terday of the reopening of
Smitty's Ranch House by Arturo
Lucero, new chef-manager. Lu
cero, who stated that he plans
to open the restaurant on or
about Thursday, June 29,
comes here with 18 years of
cooking experience and has
trained under European chefs.
He recently arrived from
Santa Barbara where he had
been chef the past three years
of the "Talk of the Town" res
taurant. He formerly was asso
ciated with the Santa Barbara
Biltmore, Westward Ho hotel,
Phoenix, Ariz., and Everglades
club, In Florida.
Italian and American dishes
and other specialties will be fea
tured at the ranch house.
Lunches, dinners and late sup
pers will be served, with ac
commodations for special par
tics. C. G. "Smitty" Smith, owner
and former operator, stated that
he has no definite plans at present.
The horns that Michelangelo
carved on his statue of Moses in
St. Peter's church, Rome, were
the result of a Bible scholar's
mistake. The Bible says that rays
shone from the head of Moses
when he came down from
Mount Sinai, and. according to
the World Book Encyclopedia,
early scholars translated the He
brew word for "ravs" as "horns."

operators, and causes more po
licing. Hart said he questions the ne
cessity of what he called the loss
of individual opportunity.
Hart also implied that redraft
ing of the agreed-upon substance
of the proposals caused changes
in their effect.
Reply Made
In a brief reply to Hart's state
ments, Goldy said that the re
drafting caused no substantive
changes in intent; that both the
board and the sub-committee
were in unanimous agreement
on the regulations before they
were submitted to the Washing
ton office, and that disagree
ments in the industry on the
regulations had largely been
ironed out through meetings, dis
cussions and a line-by-line in
spection of the completed regu
lations in the office of the secre
tary of the interior.
He also reemphasized several
of the points covered earlier,
concerning the fact that the regu
lations would not apply if not
needed; that the regulations lim
ited the government's authority
more than did the previous in
terim regulations, the difficulty
of gaining rapid, clear settlement
through the courts, and the obli
gations of the government in the
administration of publicly-owned
land.
Technicalities Described
A number of the more techni
cal points involved in the ad
ministration of the regulations
were described by Goldy during
the evening, and he gave back
ground information as to why
the regulations became neces
sary, and the manner in which
they were drawn up. He also
covered the policies laid down by
congress which the regulations
were designed to carry out.
Basically, he said, the regula
tions provide that the govern
ment has the right to ask for the
right to assign use of a road
across its property to those who
buy government timber. Certain
obligations must be fulfilled by
those receiving this assignment,
he said.
The meeting, which lasted un
til midnight, was under the chair
manship of Bill Lingaas, presi
dent of the SOCTFA, and mem
bers of the association were told
the new radio communications
network would go into effect
probably by July 15. Equipment
is now arriving, it was said.
Pruett Explains Mysterious Sounds
By J. Hugh Pruett
Astronomer. Extension Division,
Oregon Higher Education System
"I have read of a booming
sound that comes out of the
ocean in a locality off India. For
a number of years while I have
been prospecting in a certain
isolated mountainous region, I
have clearly heard a constant
droning noise night and day,
sometimes faint and sometimes
quite strong, something like the
hum of a World War I German
bomber.
"Whether this comes from the
ground or the air, I am not sure.
The direction is uncertain, but
it always sounds muffled and
far away. Are there records of
similar noises elsewhere? I am
curious." (J.C.W., Klamath
Falls.)
Not Astronomical
I am quite sure the sound
mentioned is not astronomical.
It is not the "music of the
spheres" which during the 2000
years after the time of the Gre
cian Pythagoras was supposed
to result from the orbital motion
of the planets. Nor is it the
radio "noises" which have defi
nitely been found to come from
the direction of the Milky Way
and the sun. Huge meteors above
the clouds at times produce un
usual sounds, but they are of
short duration.
Dr. W. J. Humphreys, former
ly of the weather bureau, uses
the term "brontide" in connec
tion with certain apparently
mysterious sounds which at
times seem to come from no
where. He believes, however,
that many brontides are due to
"rumblings of earthquakes too
feeble for registration," except
ing by aural detection.
It is well known that sound
will echo from a flat well or
cliff. By laboratory experiment
it is found that if the reflecting
surface is concave, the sound is
brought to a focus so that the
echo is extremely loud. The
proper arrangement of such re
flectors will make it possible to
hear the faint ticking of a watch
at considerable distances.
Whispering Galleries
In some large buildings the
construction is such that "whis
pering galleries" result. This Is
often due to an overhead dome
which focuses the sound. In St.
Paul's of London, the national
capltol at Washington and the
Mormon Tabernacle at Salt Lake
City, a whisper at certain spots
can be heard distinctly a long
distance away, although it is not
audible at points between. In
ancient times the Ear of Diony
sius was a dungeon so construct
ed that the tyrant of Syracuse
listening at a certain place could
overhear the unguarded words
of his prisoners. In nature, con
cave mountain formations could
focus the constant roar of a dis
tant ocean.
Then there is another effect
known as resonance in which a
tube of a certain length will
greatly reinforce a tone of a
given pitch. The "song of the
waves." a constant hum of a
definite pitch heard in a sea
shell held close to the ear makes
audible faint sounds constantly
around Ms but never suspected
otherwise. Our correspondent's
mountain phenomenon is likely
sound focusing or resonance due
to the shape of natural surroundings.
First Summer Outing
For YMCA Girls Set
The YMCA announced Sat
urday that its girl's summer ad
venture trips will begin on
Thursday, June 29, with a field
trip to the Medford corporation
in the morning. Lunch and out
door recreation in Lithia park
will follow, with the group re
turning to the 'Y' for a swim
at 4 p.m.
This is the beginning of a
series of trips the girls will
make this summer, some of
which will include outdoor trips
to the woods in the 'Y' truck, i
hikes, bicycle outings, visits to !
local industries, and a journey
to the Oregon caves.
Take Lunches
All girls belonging to the
YMCA between the ages of 9
to 15 are invited to meet at the
'Y' on Thursday, June 29, at
9:30 a.m. with sack lunch,
swim suits, and 10 cents for
transportation. Due to limited
space, the first 40 girls regis
tering at the main desk for this
trip will be permitted to go.
Miss E a r 1 i n e Rogers, girl's
activity director, will conduct
the trips with the aid of other
adult supervisors.
Last year's adventure trips
were a highlight of the YMCA
summer program, and the girls
are anxiously awaiting them
this year, "Y" officials said.
A schedule of boy's trips will
be announced later for each
Wednesday.
Navy Company's
Full Complement
Expected Monday
Fulfillment of minimum com
plement requirements for the
new naval reserve organized
electronics company is expected
Monday, officers said Saturday.
The unit will hold its regular
meeting at 7:30 p. m., at the
Federal building, 33 North Riv
erside avenue.
"We only need a few more
seaman recruits to assure im
mediate activation of the com
pany," Lt. Henry Fisher said.
"Present members of the group
have already been instructed to
bring at least one new man. And
we will welcome any others who
are interested in the program."
Purpose of the organization
is to train a team of experts who
would be able to take over the
communications system of a
man-of-war in case of emergency
or to operate a naval communi
cations station. Members of the
crew will be qualified to oper
ate radio receivers and transmit
ters, radar warning devices, son
ar underwater detection gear,
and be prepared to service any
electronic equipment aboard
ship.
Program to Start
The training program will start
soon after activation papers are
sent to Seattle headquarters, Lt.
Fisher stated. The company will
draw pay for the drill sessions
and will be issued uniforms as
quickly as possible.
One phase of the training
work will be a weekend cruise
aboard a destroyer escort in
September. The ship will take
naval reservists aboard at Cres
cent City and the civilian sailors
will be completely In charge of
the vessel for two days. Men
qualified to make the trip will
be members of the naval reserve
units-electronics company, vol
unteer composite unit, Seabees,
aviation company, and the mar
ine reserve unit.

An Open Letter To All CLUBS From
GEORGE LOWER Publisher
The MEDFORD NEWS
We have the choice of hiring some outside organization to make a circulation
drive for us or making the effort locally with rewards to local groups. Wt
prefer the latter and it is on that basis we make this proposal:
For every one-year subscription your group sells, The
Medford News will pay $7.00. For every two-year
1 subscription we will pay $1.70. The price of a one
year subscription is $3.00; two-year subscriptions sell
for $5.00. These subscription prices have been in effect
for more than a year in other words we are not
boosting the price of the paper in order to make this
offer to you.
Here is opportunity for your group to build a fund for whatever purpose they
might wish. Returns could be substantial. We place no limit on the number
of subscriptions or whether your returns total $10 or $1,000 or more. The
only limit is on the time of the drive. It ends July 29.
The offer holds good whether the subscriptions are new ones or renewals. Our
only stipulation is that they be sold at the full price and the money paid to us
at the time we enter the names and addresses of subscribers. That is necess
sary in order to put the money through our books in full amount for tax pur
poses. Then we will write a check for the group's share of the proceeds. We
will do this weekly, every two weeks, or at the end of the campaign according
to the group's wishes.
In addition to the cash returns, we will also give a grand prize to the group
turning in the most subscriptions. Watch The Medford News for succeed
ing announcements, but in the meantime make your plans NOW to profit by
this money-making offer.
