Police Lecture
Draws Crowd of
Jaywalk Victims
By MARTIN HEERWALD
Seattle, Wash. (U.R) There
ras standing room only in the
police department's lecture hall.
The speaker for the evening
was Officer Richard V.rat3on.
The 400 or more persons who
came to hear him ranged from
pert high school girls to white
haired men with hearing aids
and canes.
It wasn't that Watson was the
world's best public speaker or
tnat there was no admission
charge for his one-hour show.
But everyone there (including
this writer) did have a ticket.
Most of the tickets were for
jay-walking. The 'ticket along
with a white slip of paper was
good for one performance of the
department's Pedestrian Safety
School, one of the reasons Seat
tle had the lowest traffic death
rate in the nation among cities
of its size in 1953 and 1954.
The white slip said something
about either attending the lec
ture or posting S5 bail. How
.many paid to stay away, only
time will tell.
And A Ballad
Those who came early got
seats and saw all of a full-color
cartoon on bad driving and
walking habits. The not-so-early
missed th-2 cartoon and had to
stand in the back of the room
for Watson's lecture on how not
to become a statistic.
Midway in the lecture. Officer
Bill Turner broke in with his
guitar and sang the "Pedes
trian's Lament," a sad ballad
about a jay-walker who not
cnly gets knocked down but
al50 gets tossed into jail.
Turner looked over "this
crowd of smiling faces," and
quipped: "You know this is an
entertainer's paradise all this
audience and no one can leave. '
(There was another officer
standing ft the exit to make
sure no one walked out).
Actually, the master of cere
monies didn't hold his audience
a full hour. As Watson ex
plained: "You're earning five dollars
an hour by being here, and we
can't afford to pay you overtime."

BLUE PLATE
Canned Shrimp
Here's easy, tempting variety for folks who love fine seafood.
Add plump, roiy Blue Plate Canned Shrimp to cheese
auce. Heat in double boiler, serve on toast.
Or try Blue Plate Shrimp in omelets for extra goodness.
Or add chopped Blue Plate Shrimp to seasoned mashed
potatoes. Shape in parties and deep fry.
Blue Plate Shrimp come from the sunny Gulf of Mexico -home
waters for nature's best-tasting shrimp. Enjoy their
afresh flavor often. Ready to eat. No peeling. No waste.

Animals are a little like peo
pie. They react to changes in
lime, like from daylight to
standard and the other way
around. Dr. William Mann, head
of the Washington Zoo, says that
monkeys are very happy when
the clock is moved ahead be
cause they get their lettuce and
grapes earlier. But they squawk
like mad when the clock is
turned back on them.
The great William M. Mann,
by the way, has been on the
shelf recently, a little ailing. In
13 years he never has missed a
Shrine Circus. He's about to.
But he got a flavor of the circus,
anyhow he being the country's
No. 1 circus fan. The Shriners
brought a three-month-old lion
ess to his place across from the
zoo to growl a howdy to the
wonderful old guy. The "Doc"
felt better.
Don't say that Washington
cops aren't filled with the milk
of human kindness. The other
day, Pvt. Roy Taylor, the whis-tle-blowingest
officer in the
world, blew one at a street car,
which had a green light on 14th
st. He stopped the car, blocked
traffic and escorted a small boy
aboard. "That kid," said the of
ficer, "was about to be late for
school."

Saddle Itch
Through two summers I was
paid real money for riding the
prettiest little single - footing
mule on the Mt. Shasta trails,
with two or three pack animals
stringing along. Her name was
Maud, like that of a funny-paper
mule in the years before World
War I. Once I'd learned how to
load up meat and groceries for
a crew of engineers that was sur
veying in the high country, and
secure them with squaw and
diamond hitches, the job was
pure pleasure.
The thing that has given me
the saddle itch again, with mem
ories of Maud and pack mules
revived, is a map of the Cascade
Crest Trail from Canadato the
Columbia. The U. S. Forest
Service has put it out in six sec
tions that extend from Chuchu
wanteen Creek in the north to
the Dog Creek branch of the
Columbia.
South of the big river the Ore
gon Skyline Trail winds along
the tall ridges and around the
peaks of the California division
of the Pacific Crest Trail System.
High ridin' country, the world's
best, wilderness wonderland,
haven of peace.
And for two summers 1910
and 1911 I got paid for it!
Knew my luck, too.
"Multiple Use"
In this the Golden Anniversary
Year of the U. S. Forest Service
all hands in the woods, including
greenspickers and gyppo loggers,
are wishing the outfit well and
seeking to support its good work.
In its broadcast pattern this work
is drawn out within a frame
that is termed "Multiple Use."
Its divisions are commercial tim
ber, grazing, water, wildlife, and
such recreation as mountain mule
riding.
The recreation and wilderness
areas of the national forests are
on a sharply rising curve of eco
nomic value. The new prosper
ity, with a growing population
having more money to spend on
outdoor recreation, is the source
of a swelling tide of summer
travel to the Pacific Northwest
The rate of population growth
and tourist travel is expected to
increase steadily for the next 20
years.
The forest industries, especial
ly in their smaller units, will be
looking more and more to the
commercial timber stands of the
national forests in the future for
log supply. Such supply was the
stated main purpose for estab
lishing the national forests in
the first place.
Development and promotion
of the non-commercial, high
country forest areas for recrea
tion and tourism has become a
vital concern of loggers and lum
bermen. Cooperation of all hands
concerned in popular use of the
purely recreational areas of the
national forests should serve to
reduce the popular pressure for
recreational use of tree farms
and other privately owned lands.
And such cooperation should
serve to develop information and
understanding on all sides re
garding definitions and bound
aries wherever commercial and
non-commercial forest areas
merge.
Hiker's Trail and Truck Road
Once' in 1910 I had an off-day
from packing and used it to hook
up the mules to a spring wagon
to do a chore for the new state
fish hatchery. The logging train
crew brought out six iced-up
milk cans of troutlings to haul
to a specified spot on the Mc
Cloud River. I made the haul
and dumped the hatch according
to instructions, beipg much im
pressed. I'd heard of the like, but only
in a dim sort of way. Old timers
would tell how it used to be so
that the deer would fall all over
each other crowding out of the
way of a trail rider, they were
so many. The trout were so
thick in the McCloud and the
Bartlett they would stand on
each other's heads to snap at a
hook, baited or unbaited, the old
timers told.
Nowadays the streams around
old Shasta are kept well stocked
and the saddle trails range even
to the snow peak. Where 1 packed
and logged there are great, thriv
ing tree farms, one of them e
Hearst enterprise. The need
there, as all along the crest and
skyline trains, is - cooperative
work for the future of high-country
use of commercial timber in
the public forests and for the
forest areas that are right and
good for recreational use only.
Now is the time to give such co
operation study and thought.
Austrian Chancellor
Sets Visit to Russia
Vienna (U.R) Austrian
Chancellor Julius Raab Tuesday
accepted Russia's invitation to go
to Moscow for talks on an Aus
trian peace treaty. He said he
plans to leave by plane on April
11.
Austrian officials said they
hoped the mission to Moscow
would break the diplomatic log
jam on the long stalled state
treaty for Austria and clear the
way for new Big Four talks.
The government's announce
ment was made after long con
sultations among Raab, his cab
inet and Austrian ambassadors
to Moscow, Washington, London
and Paris. The envoys flew home
last week end after the invita
tion was issued by Soviet For
eign Minister V. M. Molotov.
