February 15. 195S MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE 1 " JdSTEVEnS The Golden Year ... This is the year in which the men and women of the -U. S. Forest Service look back a full half-centurjr to the day when President Theodore Rooseveit, with Secretary of Agriculture Tama Jim Wilson and Chief For ester Giff ord Pinchot, opened the present national forest system for business. The nation's forests were to be managed from 1905 onward as a public business of conserv ing timber, grass and water, on a pattern of "wise use" for the greatest good of the greatest number., "Wise use" is yet the watch word of the green country -conservators. But in the modern national forest, with its wilder ness wildlife areas and. reserva tions for recreation, , "popular use" is added to the old rule. And popular use of our outdoor resources is too often unwise use, as national and state park sup erintendents and tree farm man agers have also discovered. More on the Move ... ' Even as educators are burn ing the midnight oil over prob lems of providing more class rooms for the record-breaking baby crops of recent years, so the forest administrators are con cerned with a prospective terri fic annual increase in the size of the forest-using public through the next 20 or 25. years. The legislators,, toq, in Olym pia and Salem and Washington, D.C., are working day ancTnight on the" hard facts of population growth and its rising traffic streams. Their basic view is that of the everyday driver or trucker who is trapped in traffic congestion on city streets or on the highways between cities and towns." So great tollway systems are on the legislative programs. There will be multi-billions of Federal dollars provided to aid the states in making more traf fic room for automobiles, busses, trucks and trailers. The steady rise in the pros perity of the average American family is another source of the problem. Now the new family car can be driven farther than ever before and longer vacations may be enjoyed. So the sum mer traffic stream between Ash land, Ore., and Bellingham, Wash., is multiplying on two factors population growth and more vacation travel by the aver age family. . The Blue Ridge Trail ... ; The owners of large tree farms that are on the tourist track have already , begun to employ spe cialists in outdoor recreation, particularly in relation to hunt ers and fishermen. The resident population of the region is also growing and,, again, the new na tional prosperity yields the aver age . : in onnwest ? lamily moreJ money for recreation.-' ' ' So the ' popular use of private tree farm lands and public na tional forest lands grows on and on. - There is: certainly a limit to what any owner of commercial forest land can do in cooperation with this , massively expanding public in the woods. . One way out might be through promotion of "tollways.to tim berline," rough but usable routes to the purely recreational areas, the non-commeriial Alpine tim ber of the national forests of the Oregon - Washington Cascades. With them, the long-projected trail below the snow peaks and above timberline, along the blue ridge of the- range, should be completed, developed . and . ex ploited. - - - ' - - In . other words, let's all go Jo work on the problem ' by. doing our utmost to route forest recrea tion to -the places where '.it be longs ' in non-commercial rec reational forest areas. : Portland , 0J.R) It took a Federal Court jury 30 minutes yesterday . afternoon to convict Thomas G.'
