NEW GREYHOUND BUSES Nearly a million dollars worth of new Super-Coaches are being delivered by General Motors to Pacific Greyhound Lines during June. A picture of this latest type coach is shown above. In announcing delivery of this new equip ment, F. W. Ackerman, president of the company, points out that they are air-conditioned, carry 39 passengers and have all the latest comfort features, Including foam rubber-upholstered "contour' seats, adjustable to many positions. Individual reading lights, ad justable shades, and special glass that filters out harsh sun rays, "These new deluxe buses, Ackerman said, "represent, another forward step in our current 'Greyhound Rolls Ahead' campaign. tJV &y J?h Sterns M The Two Forests The influence of forest mar kets on forest conservation in the Pacific Northwest Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Western JMontana is not well under stood or appreciated. One way of looking at it is to visualize It in terms of two forests, the first a resource of living trees, the second a forest of timber that stands in use. Men who know estimate the amount of wood in exisiting homes at a round figure of 500, 000,000,000 board feet. About half of the dwellings are more than 25 years old. A fourth are 50 or more years of age. Churches, schools, stores, barns and other light structures of wood are also standing tirrv ber. Yet other species of this man-formed forest are railroad ties, timber bridges, piling, poles and posts. There are boats and ships. It was John Keats who wrote a mighty line about "the hawks of ship-mast forests. Again, consider the initial edi tion of the Revised Standard Version of the Bible, to be pub lished in September. It will take enough woodland trees to supply 450 tons of paper for the print ing of a million copies. In them the trees will endure. Tha Vacated Land Habits of thought, ruled by phrases and terms, cause us to visualize logged-off land as a lost land. We regard it, and we can not 6ee the homes, churches, schools, books into which the trees have gone we cannot see them because of the stumps. When the slashings are burned the land lies blackened. Super ficially, then, its aspect calls for such descriptions as "denuded," 'devastated," "ravaged". Even the word "clearing" suggests stripped land. "Clear cutting' has been distorted into meaning a destructive process on forest land. In effect, logged-off land is forest area which the trees have vacated. They are no longer standing timber but traveling timber that will stand again in new forest of structures built of wood. Or timber that may stand again as books in the stacks of libraries. The important thing, other wise, on the vacated tree area is the provisions that have been made to grow a new crop of trees and to protect them from fire. Through three centuries mar ket demand for the conversion of trees into shelter, furniture, '.'reading matter and other prod ucts essential to the American way of life has built a forest industry. There are Atlantic Coast areas from which as many as five crops have been logged. The new trees continue to va cate the land for conversion into essential uses, in the ancient ways of American trees. t More Tree Travel The conversion of wood into merchantable products for na tional and world markets has been the largest single source of income for Washington and Oregon since 1849. Today' Ore gon is first in lumber manufac ture among all the states, and California second, while Wash ington leads in production of woodpulp. In both states forest1, and wood conversion income ex ceeds the returns from agricul ture and food processing. The forest industry is a close third to agriculture and mining in Idaho and Western Montana. Since 1940, expanding mar kets and new techniques and products have given the indus try growth beyond the dreams of the most hopeful promoters in the region's yesterdays. The increasing demands are not draining off the resource. In stead, the great new markets are paying for forest manage ment practices that provide bet ter utilization in woods and mills, the raising of new trees on cutovers, and defense against fire, disease, insects and rodents. When trees leave the land and travel to new jobs they pay for replacements. Purebred Hereford Sale Slated Here For November 29 The first offering in the west of purebred Hereford bulls graded for type and checked for rate and efficiency of gain under a controlled feeding pro gram will be available to buyers at the Cal-Oregon Hereford Breeders association. Sixty bulls, all, grading better than two-minus, are now on feed for this program, the president said, 'and they will be moved to the Jackson county fairgrounds on September 1, following the 4-H club-FFA fair. They are to be fed on identical ration con sisting of 25 per cent each of rolled barley, oats and milo, 20 per cent of 32 per cent concen trate, and five per cent molasses. Hay will be fed free choice. Complete records of feed con sumed and weight gains will be kept to determine the efficiency of gains. Bulls will be "graded in September and again in Novem ber by a four-man committe from Oregon and California using the uniform beef cattle grading system. Bulls will then be Indexed giv ing proper weight to the grade, rate of gain and efficiency of gain. "Buyers can take these bulls home with reasonable as surance that they will transmit these characteristics to their off spring," Bayliss stated. Members of the Cal-Oregon group feel this program will benefit the buyer in giving him a definite record of performance on the bull before he buys, he related, with the consumer of beef ultimately benefiting in more efficient production of meat which will mean lower priced beef at the meat counter. Compromise To Keep South in Line for Civil Rights Talked By LYLE C. WILSON Washington (U.R) Left wing elements of the Fair Deal-Democratic coalition are talking pri vately of compromise on the civil rights issue to keep the South in line for the party's presidential ticket. Face-saving language is what some top men in Americans for Democratic Action are suggest ing to prevent a Southern bolt, They have not hit on just the right language to use to save the faces of Southern politicians and civil righters, but they are work ing on it. Membership Varies Americans for Democratic Ac tion is a splinter group, ADA for short, built around a core of vet erans of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. Its membership is variously Democratic, Labor, So cialist, and Independent with some farm representation. ADA forced into the 1948 Democratic platform the civil rights plank which caused a ma jor bolt to a State Right's party. ADA has been promising in pub lic to repeat this year, but with a stronger civil rights pledge. Strategy Said Old The suggestion for compro mise coming from within the na tional committee which makes ADA policy means that this left wing group is considering a stra tegy as old as party politics. That is to write into a policy statement language sufficiently ambiguous as to permit it to be interpreted one way in the South for example, and other wise in the North where there are many Negro and other mi nority voters. Democratic candi dates "would be able to make their own interpretation of the party's civil rights pledge to fit their local circumstances. Congressional Language Seen The face saving language pres ently suggested would include in the civil rights plank some em phasis on the fact that the ends sought must be obtained through Congress. That would be a fact whether the Democratic plat form stated it or not. Why any one among the high command of ADA would think such language would appease the South is not clear. Something which would save a lot more face than that would seem to be needed to keep the party together on civil rights in 1952. FDR's Compromise- Best FDR, himself, devised the best compromise on civil rights. He was always 100 per cent for it in public and In private, "but he never put any steam behind the effort to make it the compulsory law of the land. It was President Truman who asked Congress to give the federal government au thority to compel the South to1 accept Northern standards for race relations. More Unmarried Men Than Women Claimed in State Washington -r- U.R) There were 11,703 more unmarried males 14 and over than females 14 and over in Oregon at the time of the 1950 census. The census bureau reported Monday that there were 175,439 males and 163,736 females. But most of the bachelor girls were concentrated in the cities where they outnumbered single men 15,752. Most of the bachelor men remained in the rural areas where they created a "buyers' market" for the more scarce marriageable girls. Of Oregon's cities of 10,000 and over, those having an excess of unmarried females were: Port land, 13,014; Salem, 1,171; Med ford, 673; Eugene, 484; Albany, 165; and Springfield, 49. The cities of 10,000 and over which had an excess of unmarried males included: Corvallis, 2,753; Klamath Falls, 258; Astoria, 176; Pendleton, 66; and Bend, 43. Court Records DISTRICT COURT Joseph L.
