mlffoFmlYeWsi JUSTE VECIS (Editor's note: This is a vacation week for Uncle Jim. Hii space here Is given to a tribute to the late Ore gon state Forester, cisen a. Kogers, by Junior F. Daggett, ranking mem ber of the Oregon Stat Board of Forestry.) Boy and Young Man . . Nelson S. Rogers was born in Columbia county in Northwest Oregon in 1891. As a boy he cut hay in fields which now are cov ered with a fine stand of second growth Douglas fir, following abandonment of the Rogers homestead. Part of the stand has already been thinned to produce valuable income; another part has been set aside by the Crown Zellerbach Corporation, present owners, and appropriately pre served as "Rogers Park." It was so aeaicatea on way o. In school vacations Nels Rog ers worked in the old-time log gin woods, near Eagle, in the Cochran country of Northwest Oregon. This was the high-ball-hair-on-the-chest school of hard- boiltd logging, where any log less than four feet in diameter was considered as "brush." In his spare time Nels worked with an old cruiser, and they tallied some stands of old growth fir running over 200,000 board feet a ' , xo we acre. The Forester .... The young man graduated from Pacific University, he mar ried Miss Georgia. Searcy, served with the forest engineers overseas in World War I, then engaged in a forestry career in Oregon. As state forester of Oregon from 1940 to 1949, Nels Rogers made a remarkable contribution to good forestry. He was a work horse and gave state forestry in Oregon the highest prestige in its history. Men were proud to work for him. Nels well earned the support of Oregon's citizens, and he received it in good meas ure at each session of the legis lature. In collaboration with far- seeing members of the forest in dustry, and with the support of former governor Charles Sprague, he secured passage of the Oregon Forest Conservation Act, the first comprehensive state law to govern private cut ting in the public interest. The Initial law was only a beginning; through experience and cooper ation, its various provisions have been amended until it is now an effective agent in maintaining the productivity of forest lands. This law 'has been used as a model by many other states. In addition to the Conserva tion Act, Nels Rogers was re sponsible for codifying and im proving protective legislation. The great .confidence in his work is adequately expressed by the fact thatin ten years he secured passage of every forestry bill which he requested, and very few adverse votes were reported. The culmination of this legisla tive advance was th forest re habilitation act passed by the 1949 legislature. This empowers the state forester to rehabilitate the Tillamook and other burns. A Creative Conservationist... The work is well underway, rounding out a program of good forest practices, good protection, and good refrestation. Since Nels came from northwest Ore gon originally, he knew the ter ritory of the Big Burn like the palm of his hand. The program to restore this blighted area to productivity was close to his heart, and probably represents the outstanding achievement of his professional career. Nels Rogers knew the Oregon country first hand. Based on this knowledge he wrote in collabo ration with John B. Woods, "Your Oregon," a standard text book in the schools of the state, now in its second edition. Here then was a remarkable man; a scholar, an expert on for est taxation, an engineer, an old logger and fire hand, a fine ad ministrator, a re-builder of for estry, and a builder of men. Truly it can be said of Nelson S. Rogers: there was a good man. This forest is an enduring monu ment to his good works. Japanese Girls Get Home Offers New York U.R) Scores of families already have offered homes to 25 Japanese girls who were burned in the Hiroshima atom bomb blast, it was revealed today. The girls will take turns en tering the hospital for plastic surgery during the year. Most of the homes are in pros perous suburban areas near New York City. The young women from Hiroshima, scarred from burns they received in the atom bomb blast 10 years ago, speak no English and the volunteering families speak no Japanese. In spite of the difficulties, the New York Friends Center asso ciation, a Quaker organization in charge of hospitality for the girls, have a waiting list of tem porary homes for the bomb vic tims. i Each family was asked to take two girls so they would not be lonely. The young women arrived here Monday after a four-day trip by air from Japan.

Hollywood U.R' Simone Silva came to Hollywood with dreams of becoming a movie star. But all she got out ot it, she said to day, was heart break and a $12 pair of shoes. A year ago Simone achieved front page fame by ripping off her Aline Mosby blouse while standing next to Robert Mitchum at the Cannes, France, Film Festival. On the offer of some Holly wood promoters, ' the bosomy actress made a grand entrance to this cinema capital with "sev eral thousand dollars" in her purse and 23 suitcases full of furs and clothes. This week, im migration officials ordered the jobless Simone deported to Eng land. She is leaving with no money and empty suitcases. Her clothes have been stolen. Her mink stole is in hock. She suffered a nervous breakdown and was sick in .the hospital. She met a handsome million aire but lost him. , Today the plump English actress told the story of her dismal year in Hollywood, the land of happiness for few and broken hopes for thousands. "The promoters promised me $1,250 a week but all they gave me was a $12 pair of shoes," she said. They were never able to raise the money for my movie. "They broke up my romance because they wanted me to work. I couldn't work for anyone else because I was under contract to them. "I did a nightclub act in Flori da in January. I wanted to go to Las Vegas but they wanted me to do a striptease for $3,250 a week. I came here to act, not to take off my clothes." While she was gone, someone stole most of her clothes. She couldn't pay her apartment rent so the landlord confiscated "lovely silver and china pieces I had bought." She moved to a Palm Springs hotel when she was sick and gave money to a friend to pay the bill. "But he kept the money so the hotel kept my fur coat as payment," she said. ' Simone now lives with a French couple, friends from Eur ope, and "I date nobody." "Now they ttell me I must leave this country because I am no longer under contract and I have no sponsor," she said. "I could fight this but I have no more heart to fight. "I am writing my parents to send me money for a boat ticket back to England. I will go back on the stage in London. I can do pictures in Italy, France and Cairo. "I am disappointed and de pressed. I wanted so much to stay here and be happy. But I'm not bitter towards Hollywood. Some day I hope someone will bring me back. I leave with my face turned backwards." Tuesday.

The Portland brewery was founded 99 . years ago by pioneer Henry Weinhard. The huge, 15,500-gallon brew kettle in the Blitz Weinhard Portland brewery requires four hours to fill with the ingredients for just one "brew" of light, mellow Blitz Weinhard beer. Nearly all breweries use a combination of various types of barley in beer manufacture. One type, out standing for flavor, is grown only in this area. This barley, called "Hannchen", is shipped to breweries all over the nation, including, of course, its nearest neighbor, Blitz Weinhard. YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED to yhk our modern brewery.

Many of the top-quality hops from these vines will he harvested and shipped to the Blitz Weinhard brewery in Portland, where they will add an important flavor ingredient to Oregon's own fine beer. " For the brewing of Blitz beer, only tbe choicettof these hopa are selected. It is the light, tantalizing flavor imparted by these hops which give Blitz its mild, mellow taste. Hops are to beer what seasoning is to the food yon eat. As any housewife knows, seasoning must be chosen and measured carefully for best results in preparing a tasty dish.
