35,80 Trees Planted In Tillamook Region Sv School Children M Tillamook, Ore. U.R A group of 530 Khool children from Tillamook county today planted 35,000 year-old Doug las fir trees on a 40-acre tract In the vast Tillamook burn area. The huge planting, largest made by Oregon school children, was in a natural park in the .Wilson River canyon, 18 miles east of Tillamook. The area wil be known as the Orville R. Mil ler Memorial Plantation in hon or of a man who was long a leader in Oregon forest conser vation and rehabilitation. WUnud byMcKay Witnessing the ceremonies were Gov. Douglas McKay, state and national forestry leaders and members of the press and radio. Gov. McKay in a noon ad dress noted the strides already made in replanting and salvage work in the 300,000-acre burn area but he cautioned the peo ple of the state against "impa tience" because authorities are not immediately putting the burn into growing young timber. The governor said that while great headway had been made in rehabilitation since the $10,- 500,000 program was launched In 1949 there still was a long way to go. He said salvage work must be carried on with the re forestation. Would Be Economic Loss "It would be piling more eco nomic loss on top of the heavy losses which Tillamook and other counties suffered in north west Oregon from the original burns in 1933, 1939 and 1945 if we stopped this salvage logging and set the land out to trees or aerially seeded them while sound ISemey's OPEN TILL :p.r.i.

Adding to the importance of salvage operations, the governor said, was the need for cash rev enue from this land by the coun ties affected. He said the coun ties get 90 per cent of all stump- age income and the state gets 10 per cent for supervision from state lands on which the coun ties have retained stumpage rights tor 10 years. Cash Taken From Burn "In a single year, 1951, $754,- 957.34 in cash has been taken from the burn for sale of fire- killed timber," Gov. McKay de clared. The governor planted a Sitka Spruce tree in memory of Mil ler.

The purple flowering plum is one of those now in full bloom. The trees are a mass of double purple flow ers. After the flowers fall, the tree will put out leaves which develop varying degrees of pur ple. The small tree at the north east of the Courthouse is one specimen of this. There are sev eral variations in this particular tree and in order to get the one most desirable, it would be best to specify Prunus Blireiana. One of the colorful shrubs that has been blooming all winter is the Mediterranean Hy brid Heather. It is a low grow ing dwarf shrub. As soon as its School Boy's Race Ticket Pays $75,000 Seattle OI.R) A 16-year-old Seattle schoolboy still was find ing it hard to believe Monday that the Grand National sweep stakes ticket he bought from his father was worth a fortune. "Boy! $75,000.M That was the amount due George R. Vaughan, whose fath er, W. R. Vaughan of Seattle and Victoria, B. C, bought eight tickets and sold one of them to his son. The youth's ticket was on Legal Joy, which ran second to Teal in the race Saturday and paid $79,000 for $3. "When I get married, I'm go ing to name our first child Legal Joy," the lucky youth said. "It's a beautiful name." Authority on Blood To Head Death Inquiry Seattle (U.PJ Dr. John S. Gibson, a Harvard university au thority on blood, has been named to head an inquiry into the death of an 18-year-old college student who died last month after re ceiving a transfusion contami nated with bacteria. The investigation was ordered after James S. Leedom, a fresh man at Seattle university, died from an injection administered in connection with experiments designed to find a new blood preservative. Several experts of the biologi cal divisions of the national insti tutes of health in Bethesda, Md., also will assist in the inquiry. blooming period is over, it should be trimmed back. This will keep the bush compact and the new growth that is made this summer will bloom again next winter. Late summer prun ing would be undesirable as it would remove the growth that would produce flowers later on. Another tree that is coming into full bloom is the Deciduous Magnolia. This plant is some times called the Tulip tree be cause of the tulip shaped flow ers. However, the real Tulip tree is entirely different While the plants are attractive, they show off to best advantage if they are planted in proper loca tions. The problem of where to put shrubs is a difficult one for most homeowners to decide. In order to help with this problem a landscape clinic is being held Wednesday, April 9, in the YMCA. Starting at 8 a. m. three competent architects will be available to assist homeown ers with their individual land scape problems. Chester Corry, a graduate landscape architect from Oregon State college and at present superintendent of Lithia park, and Mrs. Fred Lorish, a graduate from the University of Oregon School of Landscape Architecture, and who completed work for an ad vanced degree in the Harvard School of Landscape Architec ture, will both be available for consultation at that time. In ad dition. Prof. L B. Solberg. from the landscape department of Oregon State college, will also oe present to assist. In order to take advantage of the services of these people, homeowners should take a few snapshots of their homes and grounds, especially of any par ticular area that represents a landscape problem. This will help the specialists to visualize the area and give better advice. On Wednesday afternoon there will be a lecture by Pro fessor Solberg at which time he will discuss some of the basic principles of landscaping. C B.

April T. 1U1 World's End Near, Evangelist Tells Overflow Audience A forecast of "How near Is the end of the world?" was given by Evangelist Harold E. Metcalf in his Sunday address at the Bible auditorium Sunday. He said: "Not the bewildering array of modern inventions, the feverish race for military su premacy, the accumulation of gigantic fortunes, the frequent strikes, nor the fear and tension existing everywhere, but the preaching of the gospel to nine- tenths of the earth s population. with machines, men and means to finish it quickly, constitutes tthe greatest sign of the swiftly approaching end of the world. Metcalf spoke at the Bible auditorium on South Central to an audience of 900. Show Event Near "AH these conditions show when the event is near," he de clared, "but the translation of the Scriptures Into 1,046 lan guages, gospel work in 228 of the 282 countries of earth, mission aries pushing past the last fron tiers of heathenism, and the re vival of evangelism in Christian lands, are the only signs Christ gave to show the exact time when He would return." The overflow crowd, accom modated with 150 extra chairs, heard the speaker preach on the seven seals of Revelation, which, he stated, showed the triumphs and vicissitudes of the church from the day of the Apostles to the last generation. Other chapters of the last book of the Bible will furnish subjects for later lectures this week, Met calf announced. i Education Board Men Vote Scholarship Fund Sharonville, O. (U.R) Mem bers of the local board of educa tion have voted to contribute their salaries to a scholarship fund to send a local high school graduate to college. The county school superintend ent, Charles B. Crouch, said that the five members of the board voted to give the $36 each re ceives for attending 12 meetings a year to the fund. At the end of their term, the fund would be $720 or enough to send a de serving pupil designated by the local school superintendent to college for one year. If that isn't enough, the five will give enough to pay the dif ference. Reese Creek I Averse wr, auiu iun. R.
