justable shades, and special glass that filters out harsh sun rays,
"These new deluxe buses, Ackerman said, "represent, another

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.
