County's Forest Fire
Plan Explained At
Forestry Conference
Portland A cooperative fire
plan wiich covers about 2.000,
000 acres of forest area in Jack
son county has proved effective
in fighting forest fires regardless
of where they are, according to
L. L. (Doc) Simpson, executive
secretary of Southern Oregon
Conservation and Tree Farm as
sociation, Medford.
Simpson described the seven
point plan to foresters here for
the 46th Western Forestry con
ference. The plan was formu
lated in 1952 by a committee
representing principal timber op
erators in southern Oregon.
Some 50 members have joined
the organization.
Key to Plan
Key to the plan is an agree
ment by which each cooperator
will pay his own crew for 12
hours fighting time in the first
48 hours of fire, Simpson said.
The plan saves money for small
operators. Each crew is under
the supervision of the operator
or his foreman.
Playing an effective role in
the program is the association's
cooperative two-way radio sys
tem organized in 1950. The sys
tem now has 35 member com
panies and over 85 mobile units,
Simpson pointed out.
To be successful, Simpson
said, any cooperative plan must
be backed with cooperation be
tween industry and state and
federal agencies, have fire crews
trained in advance, have a writ-ten-out
fire plan listing key per
sonnel, have equipment for fire
suppression, employ a coordin
ated communications system,
work on small areas, have a
trained dispatcher, and have
loyal workers.
E. E. Silva, engineer in charge
of the Forest Service equipment
development center at Arcadia,
Calif., told representatives that
"aircraft is on the threshold of
becoming an aerial weapon in
forest fire suppression."
Promising Results
He noted that recent tests
show promising results in prac
tical application of bulk water,
and retardant drops and in new
concepts in transportation of
supplies and suppression equip
ment. The equipment center
handles fire control activities,
range management, engineering
and timber management.
Silva also predicted that a
more comprehensive basis for
estimating fire behavior may be
developed. He also predicted a
better understanding of cloud
formations as related to light
ning, wet or dry storms and wind
action under clouds.
W. R. Schofield. secretary-
treasurer of the California For
est Protective association, San
Francisco, Calif., said close co
operation between state govern
ment and forest industries indi
cates that the western states
have adequate forestry laws. He
cited California's Forest Prac
tices act, which has been modi
fied to meet-changing conditions.
Conservation Programs
Schofield said examples of co
operation between government-
industry include Keep Green,
tree farm and other forest con
servation programs.
Oregon State Forester Dwight
L. Phipps told conference dele
gates that industry support has
been responsible for much of the
progressive forestry legislation
in Oregon and other western
states.
Phipps said a good state for
estry department must have a
sound foundation, which in
cludes a governing body, finan
cial backing and a forest code.
The forest code, Phipps said,
includes protection of forests
from fire, insect and disease con
trol laws, forest practice meas
ures to keep forest lands in a
productive condition, forest taxa
tion, at least on young growth
and cut over lands, and a pro
gram of forest research.
JASPER LOGGER KILLED
Roseburg (U.R) Albert
Koepl, 31, of Jasper, was killed
yesterday near Dillard when a
falling tree caused a snag to
fall on him.' Survivors include
his wife, Lois.

Oran C. Chasiain
Assumes Command
Of Local Guard Unit
First Lt. Oran C. Chastain has
been reassigned as commanding
officer of company A, 186th in
fantry, Oregon National Guard.
The assignment became effective
Dec. 1.
Lt. Chastain, who is police
chief at Central Point, replaces
Captain Roy L. Huson of Med
ford, who has been appointed ad
jutant for the first battalion.
Capt. Huson has commanded
company A for two and a half
years, and has been with the lo
cal company about 14 years. He
served in the Pacific theater
with the unit during World
War II. , '
In Air Force
Lt. Chastain enlisted in the
air force in 1942 and was dis-,
charged in .1946. He was com
missioned in the air national
guard a year later as weather of
ficer for the 123rd fighter group
at Portland. He later transferred
to Headquarters company of the
Medford unit, and served as
communications officer until his
appointment as commanding of
ficer.
He served as commander until
Aug. 29, 1951, when he trans
ferred to the inactive guard. He
was later commissioned in com
pany A, and served as a platoon
leader.
He is a graduate of Medford
High school, and is active in the
Central Point American Legion
post.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q Can
you name a berry that is named
after a man? A Certainly. The
loganberry is named after J. H.
Logan of Santa Cruz, Calif. It
is a cross between a wild black
berry and a red raspberry . . .
Q What was the most over
played song in one period? I
claim it was, "The Merry Wid
dow Waltz." A I believe it was
"Dardanella" with "The Merry
Widow Waltz" second and "The
Music Goes Round and Round"
third. . . Q My measurements
are 37, 22, 37. How do your
horses and women experts rate
me? A Clip two inches off the
hips and you rate grade A. That
is if you are at least five feet
five in height and weigh about
125 pounds.
Prolific Papas
The ability of the father to
produce children is the major
factor in the size of a family.
That's what those who should
know maintain. So, if you are
the father of four or more chil
dren take a bow. The most pro
lific papa is Abdon Jaramillo of
Amalfi, Colombia, South Amer
ica. Senor Jaramillo is the father
cf 43 children. Thirty by his
first wife, 13 by his second.
Those Experts
Again note it claimed by an
alleged expert on the subject
that bald-headed men are pos
sessed of much greater vim, vig
or and virility than those having
a thick head of hair. Another
expert repeats the claim that
long legged men make poor
lovers. I have plenty of hair and
am long legged so both these
claims depress me. I may give
up reading what these experts
say. They are giving me an in
feriority complex.
Horses and Women
A beauty contest exclusively
for red-haired women. That is
what was held in England. Must
have been an extremely inter
esting event. Wish I had been
there. Following the competition
the judges discussed the ques
tion as to what color suit, eve
ning gown or hat is best suited
for a redhead. They decided the
flaming tressed beauties look
best in green. I can't go along
with that view. For example, I
think a red-haired woman wear
ing a green evening gown would
be too conspicuous. She would
look better, that is her appear
ance would have more of that
thing called class, if she wore a
white or black evening gown.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE
Forest Fire Fund
Continuation Asked
Portland U.P.) A Weyer
haeuser official today urged con
tinuation of Clarke-McNary fed
eral appropriations for fire pro
tection. He said the funds should
not be considered subsidies.
Bernard L. Orell, of Weyer
haeuser Sales Co., St. Paul,
Minn., told the annual conven
tion of the Western Forestry and
the federal contribution should
be held to 25 per cent and that
the state and private agencies
contribute 75 per cent.
Orell said that since fires do
not respect state boundaries and
were of an emergency nature,
federal participation was an hon
est recognition and not a subsidy.
At the bottom of the Grand
Canyon live bull snakes, beavers,
bobcats, deers, ring-tailed cats,
water ouzels and ducks.
