(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. They are
from 17 to 31 years old, and have
been working at various jobs,
most of them positions where ,
they did not need to -meet "the !
public.

United Press Correspond!
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."

FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW
ABOUT BLITZ WEINHARD:
Blitz Weinhard is one of Oregon's long-standing
industries. 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. You will enjoy a conducted tour
any weekday at 10 or 11 A.M., or at 1, 2 or 3:00 P.M.
Group tours by appointment.
Driving past Western Oregon's fertile farrM, you often see
hop vines strung fifteen feet high on suspended wires.
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. And
Dr. Zimmermann, the Blitz brewmaster, resembles a
world-renowned chef , as he selects the exact hops to give Blitz
the flavor that careful research tells the Blitz Weinhard Company
you'll like best. The fact is that Dr. Zimmermann used
Oregon hops in brewing other famous beers,
long before he joined Blitz Weinhard. . '
So, just as you choose fine food, choose a fine beer, with the
flavor of carefully-chosen hops to give it the smoothness, the light,
clean taste you prefer. To get ail these things in a beer . . .
