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

asserted.
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 vast planting was spon
sored by the Tillamook county
schools, Tillamook 4-H club for

Spring Flowering Trees
Now Coming Into Bloom
Many spring flowering trees
and shrubs are now coming into J
bloom and are furnishing bril-i
liant spots of color along the
streets and in yards. 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

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.

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
