Log Truck Problems
Told Kiwanians; Big
Investment Described
A load of logs is not as danger
ous as it looks, Ted Wharton,
secretary of the Oregon Log and
Lumber Truckers association,
declared Wednesday in a talk to
members of Medford Kiwanis
club.
Addressing the service club
at its luncheon at Rogue Valley
Country club, Wharton brought
out the large investment a log
ger has in his business, told some
of tne problems of the truckers,
discussed safety features of
trucks and mentioned generally
legislation aimed at the log
trucking industry.
Laws Aimed at Loggers
The OLLTA secretary stated
that bills before legislature on
the trucking industry are pri
marily aimed at log trucks on
the assumption that a load of
logs is "very dangerous" to
carry. Bills so far passed have

been good with their safety fea
tures, he said.
Concerning several other bills,
he declared, "We do not know
whether they are good or bad."
Wharton reported that with
Claude Davis, formerly of Med
ford, representing the associa
tion, the legislature is now get
ting the point of view of the
truckers.
Farors Police Weighing
He spoke favorably concern
ing the bill which would put the
burden of weighing trucks on
the state police rather than on
the highway department, bring
ing out that police could check
as trucks were being weighed
to see that other requirements
were being met. The OLLTA,
he reported, says that the truck
ers should try not to haul over
loads. Wharton, however, point
ed to the human element of error
in trying to judge the weight
of logs.
In stating that log loads are
not as dangerous as they seem,
Wharton discussed the construc
tion features of trucks and ex
plained how logs are loaded and
secured. Trucks are built to
haul twice the loads that are put
on them, he maintained. He de
clared that the association is
"trying more all the time to
prevent poorly secured logs."
Wharton stressed also that the
trucker is vitally interested in a
secure load to get his logs to
the mill, because of his invest
ment in his truck.
Costs Cited
The bare truck costs a log
ger $24,000 to $26,000, Wharton
said. Safety equipment, insur
ance, licenses and PTJC permit
make the total investment $27,
000 to $28,000, he reported. The
average truck grosses $20,000 per
year and if the owner drives the
truck himself, he may get $6,000
per year, according to the
OLLTA man. If he hires a driv
er, the net may be only $2,000.
Wharton, saying that no mem
ber of the association, a corpora
tion,J4raws a salary,, spoke of its
efforts in helping truckers with
safety and with public relations.
He stated that there are about
450 members paying dues, and a
host of associate members. How
ever, he mentioned that the ac
tual "man in the cab" truckers,
appear to be the least interested
of all. The membership has only
a small percentage of the regis
tered truckers.
Glenn Hunter, president of
Southern Oregon Conservation
and Tree Farm association, also
spoke to Kiwanians. He told of
his interest in truckers getting
logs to the mill and pointed to
the need of the lumber industry
of having a man at the legisla
ture to get the same sort of
break farmers are getting in re
gard to legislation.

IT'S ANYBODY'S GUESS The Princess Margaret "husband-guessing
sweepstakes" picked up momentum with the
name of polo-playing Billy Wallace beginning to dispute
RAF Group Capt. Peter Townsend as the favorite. A radio
commentator claimed that Wallace, 29, step-son of U. S.
writer Herbert Agar and a wealthy man in nis own right,
would become engaged to the princess before this summer.
Wallace is shown with the princess at Ascot, back in 1951.
