Charlie Cougar, Disney Hero?. .
During a recent day on the
uplands of the Cascades, I saw
numbers of bear, deer and porcu
pine, and once three coyotes
loping single file on the road just
ahead of the car before they
took to the second-growth.
The tree farm forester at the
wheel of our car said we might
have seen his six trained cougar
cats if it wasn't that he had them
on patrol up Pity Creek. He said
he'd brought them up from kit
tens, which were seven to start
with but one had up and died
on him.' He liked the idea of
training cougars to keep down
the deer more than catering to
the hunters. Said there was
never a cougar known to be a
cigarette fiend or to make a
campfire.
The forester had an idea for
a Disneyland picture. In it the
baby trees would be menaced by
villainous deer who threatened
to butcher the young forest with
their browsing. Then up would
come Charlie Cougar, the hero of
the picture-and what he would
do to the deer villains!
I felt bound to tell him I
didn't think Disney would go for
the idea.
Everywhere the Deer ...
"Browse" is a wordf growing
importance in the changing for
ests. As cattle graze to live, deer
browse, feeding on . the tender
twigs, bark and shoots, and some
times roots, of trees and shrubs.
Deer have learned to do right
well for themselves on Douglas
fir seedlings. Recently I've seen
numbers of beheaded baby trees
that are doomed to deformed and
stunted growth.
9o the welcome sign is out for
hunters on many a tree farm and
the$ational forest this fall in the
Douglas fir, as well as for cou
gars. The growing population of
deer is becoming . a serious
menace to tree growing.
Hunters remain a dreadful
fire risk in the forest, however,
on the basis of past records. But
.with increased harvest of the
game crop becoming a growing
need of Douglas fir forestry, a
pattern of good relations is being
worked out in many areas be
tween forest land managers and
sportsmen's clubs. There is
promise that the deer hunter
will change from a fire risk to
a fire stopper.
The Great Change ...
Fireweed, fern and berry
brush are soon crowded out in
these great days of the changing,
growing, young forest. Used to
be that beekeepers could trail in
with their swarms after the log
gers and be sure of a honey har
vest from fireweed for years on
end. The little trees soon run
the bee men out nowadays.
Alarmed tree farm foresters
continue t0' send in reports of
bears as a tree crop menace.
Bruin has found the sugar in the
bark of Douglas fir seedlings and
saplings much to his liking. So
now in places he is eating trees
like the fabled hodag of Paul
Bunyan's time.
The foresters may be forced
in time to dust all seedling areas
with snoose. The bears would
then acquire the snoose habit.
Exhaustive and painful re
searches have demonstrated that
all snoose addicts love little trees
and will do anything to help
grow them.

National Guard
Keeping Watch on
Sheboygan Plant
Sheboygan, Wis. U.R) The
National Guard was on the alert
to move into Sheboygan today if
rioting breaks out o"ver a ship
ment of clay for the strikebound
Kohler Co.
But leaders of the CIO United
Auto Workers, on strike against
the plurnbingware company since
Aug. 5, 1954, promised they
would not attempt to prevent
the unloading of the Norwegian
motorship Divina.
Pleas Issued '
They issued a plea to residents
of Sheboygan and nearby
Kohler, Wis., not to demonstrate
at the docks, lest the union is
blamed for it.
Wisconsin Gov. Walter Kohler
reveled last week that National
Guardsmen have been alerted to
put down any repetition of the
violence which broke out on the
Sheboygan docks last July.
At that time, 1,000 strikers
and sympathizers prevented the
motorship Fossum from unload-

ing. The union also kept the
Fossum from getting rid of its
'"hot cargo" at Milwaukee and
the clay was finally shipped to
the plant by rail.
No Trouble Expected
Kohler stressed he "doesn't
expect any trouble" over the
Divinia's cargo.
But if it comes, he said, as
much as a regiment of troopers
will be in Sheboygan within six
hours.
Such a development would
mean the second use of national
guardsmen to control labor strife
in the Midwest within two
weeks. One thousand tropers ate

members staged a gun battle
with non-striking Perfect Circle

no Indian deaths from tubercu
