TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tutidir. November 301954 Celebrate iw off Pageantry Birthday London -(U.R) Prime Minis ter Winston Churchill celebrated his 80th birthday today in the greatest show of pageantry since the coronation of Queens Eliza--. bethll. ' , ; . Drums of the Grenadier Guards beat the "V" sound for victory into a crashing anthem in tribute to the entry of the "old man" into the ninth decade of his life. , From the Queen down to the humblest of her subjects, Britain paid its man of destiny gratitude that overshadowed : even - the magnificent pagentry of today's state opening of parliament. It was a happy coincidence that placed Churchill's 80th birthday and the state .opening of Parliament on the same, day, for it added touch of royal grandeur to an hour that already had everything else in full meas ure. The Day's Highlights : ' These were the big events of Churchill's birthday: 1. A gathering of both houses of Parliament after the state opening in unprecedented as sembly to give him a portrait of himslelf and a commemorative book. 2. Presentation by Lord Moyni han of . a check for more than 200,000 pounds ($280,000) as the first installment of the Church hill birthday fund, , which the Prime Minister . is expected to give to some worthy, cause. - 3. Presentation by the con servative party, which he heads, of two silver jugs, bearing the Churchill coat of arms, once the property of Charles Church ill, brother of the first Duke of Marlborough.. '' ' 4. A gift fronvQueen' Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace in the evening. Thousands of presents, cables, telegrams, postcards and letters poured into 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister's official resi dence. Many Heads of State They came from President Eisenhower, f orm President Tru man, Marshal Tito and many other heads of state, from friends and colleagues, from political enemies, from ordinary people everywhere. Tens of thousands crowded the streets this morning to cheer Queen Elizabeth as she rode in a stage coach from Buckingham Palace to Parliament to don her robes of velvet and ermine and her crown of diamonds and read the traditional speech from the throne. Churchill gathered with other members of Commons in the cavernous chamber in the House of Lords to hear the Queen read the brief statement outlining the government's policy , which the Prime Minister and his deputies had prepared for her. Instead of the crowd, fading away as in -former years "after the Queen's departure, it re mained clustered thickly around Westminster Hall, which, adjoins the Hcuse ,of Parliament, where members: of -both houses and their guests assembled to pay fit q " J'J I 11 BIRTHDAY PRESENT This is portrait of Prime Minister Sir. Winston Churchill painted by Graham Sutherland for presentation to the statesman on his 80th birthday by past and present members of the Houses of Parliament. Artist Sutherland says he suspects the prime minister a noted amateur painter himself of adding a daub or two of paint on the canvas between sittings. their own. unprecedented tribute to a Prime Minister. Never before have both Houses of Parliament joined in a gift to a Prime Minister, a fact noted by House Speaker W. S. Morrison in opening the ceremony. Then Clement Attlee, a former Prime Minister and a wartime colleague in the coalition and now leader of the opposition, presented to Churchill the por trait painted by Graham Suther land. As Attlee finished his tribute, the portrait was unveiled and illuminated by remote control. It shows Churchill in the black coat, striped trousers and blue polka dot bowtie he wears in Commons, seated and looking straight out of the canvas. The Prime Minister made one concession to the crowded day. He delegated the opening of the government's campaign in parlia ment to his deputy, Foreign Min ister Anthony Eden. This was the first time in generations that a Prime Minister had not led off for his party in Parliament on opening day.

Veteran lumber men told this reporter at a recent meeting here that . failure to cut over matured timber is unhealthy for the forest lands in at least two ways: The old trees are more susceptible to disease and to pests, such as the spruce bud worm; and they create an added fire hazard. If they tree harvested for timber, they give that much more room for growth to young er trees, and so their harvesting contributes markedly to the per petual yield program designed to keep" Oregon green and not denuded. , Lack of Access Roads One, of the reasons why the national, forests are not cutting as much timber as they are ca pable of cutting is lack of timber access roads. In remote forest areas, roads are costly, but still they hold the key to proper for est management. No forest can be properly managed without these roads to remove the over mature, diseased and bug-killed timber.' This applies today to 157,000,000,000 feet in the na tional forests of, Oregon, where most, of the timber is virgin, old-growth forests. , Lumbermen, those interested in. conservation and in seeing 1he continued progress of Ore gon's number one industry, log ging and lumbering, hope Uncle Sam will build the roads that will bring out this over-mature timber. Roads in the woods do not come cheap. The usual log ging estimate is about S2; a foot or about $10 000 a mile. Some roads, if they go through rock, run from $50,000 to $75,C00 a mile and -even higher. More Self-Supporting Of course, it wouldn't make good sense to spend more for roads than the timber is worth. But with timber access roads, the.- national forest land micht 'well become more self support ing. County governments would also be aided through sharing in timber sales revenues. Last fiscal year, Oregon counties re ceived $4,928,000 from timber sales on national forests. An other $6,000,000 was received Deelz Loses Bid FotGrade A License Oregon City (U.R) ' Elmer Deetz, Canby's gallon-jug dairy man who led the battle to repeal milk control and was elected to the Oregon Legislature this month, lost a round in Circuit Court here yesterday. 1 . . ,' Circuit Judge P. K. Hammond upheld a ruling from the State Board of Agriculture which de nied Deetz a grade A license because his dairy did not meet the board's regulations for grade A plants. Deetz had contended his milk met the sanitary requirements for grade A and the board said their tests showed this was true but that they could not make exceptions to their regulations. from O and C and land grant tracts. . - Total timber cut on nations, forests of Oregon was l.owu.uuo, 000 board feet of logs, with much bug-killed and over-mature timber yet to be removed. Even so, it is the best record so far for federal forest lands. But taking all improvements into consideration, private lands have supplied more than 80 per cent of the timber harvested during the last 10 years. With the gov ernment owning about 60 per cent of the forest lands in Ore gon, this percentage, forest ob servers say, is out of economic balance. In 1953 mor than 5,800, 000,000 board feet were cut from private lands. Dependent on" Resources Other, experts say that more than half of Oregon's 1,500,000 population is dependent in sub stantial degree upon the timber resources. - In turn, the nation looks to Oregon for more than 23 per cent of the softwoods it needs each year. Our forests are renewable ' under -modern" -outlook. But .. private output and that from national forest : lands must be more in balance, for estry men say; . ; .. i i - Oregonians are proud of the' national forest system and con sider it one of the best in the world. The timber industry needs the national forests and have always worked well with Uncle Sam's custodians.' But even so an over-mature tree is best out pf the woods, and the industry in Oregon hopes the federal forces will see to it that harvesting of the old and dis ease-struck timber is made both possible and plausible.
