S. forester, reviewed accomplishments of the forest service and loggers during the past 50 years at a joint meeting of the Siskiyou Chapter society of American Foresters and the Southern Oregon Conservation and Tree Farm association Fri day night. The meeting, which marked the 50th anniversary of the for est service, was attended by 145 foresters and loggers from Jack son and Josephine counties in Oregon,, and Siskiyou county in California. . Stone, in saluting foresters and their contributions to forest pro tection, said that 50 years ago when the forest service was or ganized there were few people interested in forestry, and that there were ho forests under man agement. Today, Stone said, forest man agement not only helps in log cutting, but helps to provide roads to protect forests from fire. Good management now helps in conserving water and soil, as well as wildlife, Stone said. "What is important," Stone said, "are the accomplishments over the past 50 years, not that the service is 50 years old." He added that the next 50 years of progress will be based on the previous half -century in develop ment of conservation and provid ing recreational facilities for thousands of people. Camping in 1905, Stone said, was limited to business, but to day there are over 1,000 camp ing grounds in Southern Oregon. Many present recreational facil ities such as camping sites, fish ing Jakes and streams, hiking trails, and winter sports areas are in national forests. Sanitary controls are necessary to keep forests clean because recreation areas are becoming overused and crowded, Stone said. "We need a growing crop of foresters to carry on the need of management of forests. That is our responsibility," Stone said, and added that the service has "better trained men now who have, a better background of Obituaries LILLIAN TEELE Services for Mrs. William H.
