100 Per Cent Increase Seen
If Oregon Followed Danish
Plan of Timber
. Portland (Special) More in
tensive management oc our for
est resources and better utiliza
tion of logs are necessary for
Oregon's forest products indus
try to continue indefinitely as a
major economic factor in the
state's economy.
This is the basis of a report re
leased by the Business Execu
tives' Research committee, a
group of selected Portland busi
ness executives and college fac
ulty members, which has for sev
eral months been studying Ore
gon's forest industry. .
This community research pro
gram, sponsored by Lewis and
Clark and Reed colleges, has
been financed by a grant-in-aid
from the Committee for Eco
nomic Development, and from
; uir uuu lui nuuu Ciuutabivu,
established by the Ford Founda
tion. Commenting on the report, E.
. C. Sammons, president of the
United States National bank and
a regional trustee of CED, said,
"This report will give ; people
uiruugiiuui uie siaie a Deuer un
derstanding of the economic im
portance of the forest products
industry . in the Oregon econ
omy."
According to report, the fol
lowing conditions art vital to
the future growth of Oregon's
economy:
The fullest utilization and the
best possible management of our
large forest resources; .
Expansion of processing and
fabricating industries, other than
lumber, which are based on
forest resources; '
The encouragement of diversi
fied new industries such as light
metals and chemicals.
"The Business Executives' Re
search! cmmittee has assembled
the firSt part of its findings in a
36-page" booklet entitled, "The
Forest Products Industry of Ore
gon." Part two is scheduled for
release in the fall and will con
tain recommendations based on
analysis of current findings.
Other points brought out in
the report are:
If Oregon's forest lands were
managed on the basis of results'
obtained in Denmark, the state
could harvest an annual crop of
16,000,000,000 board feet, about
double the present annual cut.
The committee foresees an an
nual growth of 9.45 billion board
feet under current trends in man
agement. The federal government now
owns 65 per cent of the total saw
timber in Oregon. This owner
snip pattern suggests that either
more timber will be harvested
from government ownership in
the future, or the present rate
of log production will only be
maintained at the expense of
heavy cutting of private growing
stock. N
The number and importance
of small ' sawmills is declining
sharply in the region, being re
placed by 'larger and more fully
integrated operations.
. Biggest obstacle to better for
est management at present is
lack of all-weather access roads,
which prevent the removal of
virgin old-growth material with
little or no annual growth.
Oregon now leads in plywood
production accounting for 46.2
per cent of total .U.S. output.
New uses for timber and utili
zation of residuals constitute
Oregon's greatest economic po
tential. Present utilization of the
wood fiber in a log is estimated
at less than 50 per cent.
Production of other wood
fiber products, particularly hard-
board and softboard, is expand
ing. The potential raw material
for these products is almost un
limited. ,
The projected population
trends in the western states in
dicate a substantial growth in
local and western markets.

Doctors of County Organized
Into Emergency Disaster Units'
Physicans and surgeons of the
Jackson County Medical so
ciety have organized into mo
bile first aid and hospital teams
which would function in place
of regular medical services in
case of military or civil disasters
in Jackson county.
The teams are part of Jack
son county's civil defense pro
gram, which displayed organiza
tional functioning in a test air
raid alert last week.
Such teams, which would be
placed at the disposal of Red
Cross or civil defense authori
ties, are necessary to care for
victims of a disaster such as
bombings, floods or earthquakes.
The plan, sponsored by the
Medical society and the Jackson
county health department, is
composed of 13 mobile first aid
teams headed by two physicans,
three dentists and three nurses,
who would be available to pro
ceed to a disaster scene with ade- outside Jackson county, but only
quate medical supplies and food
and water.
Such teams could also be call
ed to disaster eareas elsewhere
in the state or to metropolitan
areas outside the state in ease
of military disasters.
Supporting medical authorities
would be pharmacists, first aid
attendants and litter bearers.
Wounded would be given first
aid at the seen and transfer
red 'to medical headquarters.
Four emergency medical hos
pital teams would be available
at Sacred Heart, Community,
Camp White and Ashland hos
pitals to receive casualties from
designated reception centers.
Hospital teams staffed by local
physicians, nurses and technici
ans would work 2 hours a day in
12-hour shifts.
Hospital teams would be sub
ject to orders to disaster scenes
by the civil defense office.
The county health department
in a disaster, would supervise
testing food and water supplies
to prevent epidemic outbreaks,
and technician! under the direc
tion of Dr. W. W. Stevenson
would draw and distribute blood
for first aid and hospital uses.
Several stock piles of medical
dressings, equipment and trans
fusion sets are stored In various
areas near Medford for emer
gency use.
In case of disaster, local medi
cal assistance by family physi
cans would be interupted , or
curtailed, and replaced with an
organized system of effective
emergency care.
Emergency, care has been or
ganized and will be supervised
by a committee headed by Dr.
Durno of Medford and Dr. Har
vey Woods of Ashland.
