Here's a rule-of-thumb for handling forests of seed ling and sapling size, pole size and saw log size. In thinning seedlings and sap lings watch your spacing so that trees are close enough to fill in gap when you take out Christmas trees, posts And other smalt prod ucts. If cutting a Christmas tree leaves too large a gap, don't take St. This is a good time to do fill-in planting If there is too large a space in your young growing forest. J From about 25 years on, the young, pole-sized forests will yield an increasing amount of merchanta ble products. Improvement cutting from now on will more than pay Its way. Before logging a pole -sited Vtand, mark trees to be cut In marking leave the best quality, healthiest trees fairly well spaced. Nark trees to be cut with an ax blaze, paint, or paper tags. Use these four rules to guide your 'marking: 1) Remove larger, rough, llmby frees that will release healthy better quality trees so they can grow faster. ; 2) Remove merchantable trees that are likely to die before your fiext time through the forest. These should include those dying from! crowding, rot and other causes and leaners that may blow over. 3) Remove badly injured or de fective trees. This includes trees with conk, bad fire scars, very crooked stems. 4) Remove some of trees in dense clumps to improve growing condi tion for those remaining. Caution: Do not make openings that expose a tree on more than one side. Too severe exposures causes shock and may slow down growth for years. How many trees do you leave to an acre and what should be the spacing?

Mrs. Stassen Feels Role of First Lady A Difficult Part Generals Disagree About Politicking While in Uniform Monday. April 14. 1952 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Washington (U.R) Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Gen. Douglas MacArthur apparently disagree on the traditions of the military service. Eisenhower told newsmen in Paris that if nominated for presi dent by the Republican national convention next July, he would resign from the Army, shuck his uniform and perform as a civilian. "From that point on," he said, "I would be free to act and speak as any other citizen, without any of the limitations imposed by the traditions of the military estab lishments." No Politics In Uniform The plain implication of his remarks was that political activi ty by an Army officer on inactive Editor's note: Following is tht last in a series of stories about wivas of leading Repub lican presidential candidates. Philadelphia (U.R) Esther Glewwe Stassen thinks the role of First Lady "must be one of the most difficult in the world." But she is equally certain the President's wife can do much to ward "making her husband's work easier." That view about sums up her attitude toward anything in which her husband, Harold E. Stassen, is engaged. Always in Agreement She says, "we always are in agreement on important deci sions, and that includes this cam paign," Stassen's bid for the presidency. A somewhat bashful woman, Esther Stassen would stay out of the public eye as much as pos sible if she became First Lady. She doesn't make speeches and doesn't like to. Her first responsibility now is the care of the two Stassen chil dren. Katheel, called "Keen," is 10 and Glen is 16. The Stassens have carefully kept the children from the limelight and have de cided against permitting family portraits during his campaign for the Republican nomination. Enjoyed Tenure at Penn Because she saw so little of her husband during his Minne sota political campaigns and service in the Navy, Mrs. Stassen has thoroughly enjoyed the three years he has been president of the University of Pennsylvania. She says they are the happiest of her life. They live in the university president s house, a large jtruc ture of white stucco bordering on a golf course with a lovely view of rolling hills. She likes to entertain and is considered an especially gracious hostess with a flair for saying "the right thing." She likes to do the family marketing herself Gardening is a specialty. In South St. Paul, Minn., where they slill own a much-loved home, her garden was a show- place. Lately she has become an avid oil painter and is taking art lessons. She is very active in the Bap tist church, as is every member of the family. Born in Minnesota Mrs. Stassen was born in Mound, Minn., one of 12 chil dren. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Glewwe, emigrated from Alsace-Lorraine as children. She met Harold Stassen when he was a Minnesota law student and she was a secretary in a St. Paul law office. They married in 1929, after his graduation. The Stassens are unusually de voted. Friends say they are "al ways holding hands and are still in love after all these years." She is a sweet-faced, pretty woman about 5 feet 4 inches tall, compared to his 6-feet-2. She wears little make-up and is no "clothes horse." Her mind is quick and she is not shy about giving her opinion when asked. Panel on Religion Slated at Assembly Ashland In observance of re ligious emphasis week at South ern Oregon college, Wednesday, assembly will be a panel dis cussion concerning the topic, "Is Religion Essential to the Young Today?" Friends of the college will be welcomed at the 10 a.m. roundtable, according to Ralph Wood, assembly chairman. Panel members will be Dr. D. Kirkland West of the Medford Presbyterian church; the Rev. Paul Harms of Grace Lutheran church, Ashland; the Rev. C. J. Lineham of Sacred Heart church, Medford; Dr. Donald A. Mac Dougall, assistant professor of social studies; Winston Marks, Ashland businessman; and Hal McKellips, SOC undergraduate. As Moderator Dr. Arthur Kreisman, associ ate professor of English will serve as moderator. Wood emphasized that the pro gram will not be a debate be tween panel members, but will be arranged' to encourage aud ience participation. Object of the assembly will be that of elevat ing the spiritual life of students, Wood explained. The three vis iting clergymen will conduct campus conferences later in the day and attend a special lunch' eon Wednesday noon. OPS Clinic (or Food Operators Due in Medford Portland-'U.R) The Office of Price Stabilization will hold clinics for operators of food-serv ing businesses in Portland and Vancouver, Wash., beginning Wednesday, Portland OPS dis trict Director Carl C. Donaugh said today. He said the meetings will pro vide briefings on a new price law which requires public post ing of ceiling menu prices. After Portland meetings Thurs- day and Friday, the clinic will move to 38 other cities in Ore gon and Southwestern Washing ton.

Traditions are beliefs, customs, manners of 1 i f e an unwritten code. By basing his decision on tradition rather than on military regulations. Eisen hower probably has let the De fense Department off a hot spot. Had the decisions been based on military regulations, it would have been up to the Defense De partment to explain why Mac Arthur could make political speeches whereas Eisenhower could not. MacArthur Against Truman MacArthur has been stumping against the Truman administra tion since his relief a year ago this month from command in the Far East. He has objected to all efforts to put his name in presi dential primaries. He scarcely can be unaware, however, that some of the top men of the Republican party expect the Re publican national convention to reach a Taft-Eisenhower dead lock, and break it by nominating MacArthur. Stranger things have hap pened in politics. So the differ ence between Eisenhower and MacArthur in relation to parti san politics at this moment is only that the former is a likely nominee and the latter no better than a dark horse. Draws Real Distinction On the record, it would appear that Eisenhower draws a real distinction between political ac tivity in general and the active seeking of political office. He was an officer on inactive status while serving as president of Columbia university. From a slow start in early speeches, Eisenhower moved up rapidly during that period to the front rank of public men directly chal lenging the Truman adminisra tion. The general believed many of President Truman's policies were wrong and dangerous. He was making headlines and tel ling the people about it when recalled from inactive to active status to head the Allied military establishment in Europe.

Ex-Oreqon State College Coed Arrested on Pickpocket Charge tempted theft and also told po- fort land iU.R A 1 9-yea r-old North Bend girl is in city jail as a pickpocket. Nancy Jo Engen, a former Ore gon State college student, was arrested Friday bv Detective Robert Chappel while she still had her hand in the purse of a woman customer at Meier t Frank slore in downtown Port land. Chnppcl was assigned to the store after store executives com plained that a pickpocket had been operating there ' Miss Engen admitted the at- lice of taking money from five other women shoppers on April 4. She said she had obtained more than $100. She said she used $5 of the money to send some flowers to her home in North Bend. The former co-ed said she was placed on probation in Corvallis last January for writing four worthless checks while attending college. She said her mother ad vised -her to seek employment in Portland. Government Denies Charge of Rotten Beans in Storage Washington (U.R) The sena tor said the government was stor ing "roltcn" beans. The Agriculture Department official retorted the beans were just "off color." Sen. Edward Martin, R-Pa., started the hassle over the red kidney beans. He said Sunday that the government bought and stored about $7,600,000 worth of surplus beans a few years ago to support the market. Beans Said Rotten Now the beans are rotten, he said, but the government keeps on storing them at a cost of $10,000 a month. Drexel D. Watson, director of the Agriculture Department's grain branch, admitted the gov ernment still had about $1,000, 000 worth of red kidney beans on its hands from the 1948-49 crops. But he said they weren't rotten at all they just appear "off-color" becausj of their old age.

Audience Thinks It's All in Act As Lions Attack Gunless Trainer New York (U.R) Most of the audience at Ringling Bros, and Barnum and Bailey's circus ap parently thought it was all part of the act when lion tamer Oscar Konyot was attacked by one of his "pets." Konyot, who had bits of flesh torn from his left side and from his arms, said it was the 51st time one or more of the big cats had attacked him. The 45-year-old trainer had just put his eight lions through their paces when one of them swiped him with a paw and knocked him to the ground. Be fore Konyot could recover his footing a second cat leaped on top of him. The tamer, who uses neither whip, pistol nor chair in his act, fought the lions off with his hands and finished the act. He then was rushed to St. Clare's Hospital where his wounds were stitched. His condition was described as good. S VASSARETTE GIRDLE No. 17 Satin Lastex front pantl, Vassar fashioned sides and back.
