Award Certificates For Five Tree Farms Five tree farm certificates, representing tome 2,585 acres in Jackson county, were present ed owners at a meeting of the Southern Oregon Conservation and Tree Farm association last night. Certificates, presented by rep resentatives of the Industrial Forestry association and the Western Pine association, went to Willis Stiehl, C. W. Jensen, Don Minear, Howard Carl and Billy Mason and R. J. Morton. . Farms Listed Jensen's farm, the Trimble Creek Tree Farm, covers 150 acres north of Rogue River off the Wimer road. The Mason Tim ber Company Tree Farm covers 35 acres in the Wagner creek area near Ashland, and the R. J. Morton Tree Farm includes 1,180 acres near Jacksonville The Nani Valley Tree. Farm, owned by Stiehl, covers 1,160 acres near Gold Hill, and Mi- near's holdings, the Minear Tree Farm, covers about 60 acres near Medford. Hardy Glascock of Industrial Forestry association, and Dale Prentice of Western Pine made the Dresentations. Clem Ault of the Soil Conser vation Service's Medford office pointed out that although the conservation service has been more active in assisting "farm' cers," there has been an increase in demand for assistance in tree farms. ' " Conservation Essential He said it is essential to have conservation of timber resources, particularly regarding erosion control. He noted that conserva tion, whether of timber resour ces or farm land, "pays instead of costs." Ault said the conservation service work is not confined to "farmers" and the service is available to offer assistance in erosion control on any land, whether large or small parcels. Also discussed last night were communications within (80CTFA, a "fire-ama" show, the ire fighting organization, and appointment, of committees. Bob Kline said the association ic considering use of trailers for radio communications at the scene of forest fires. He said last Labor Day week's fires pointed to a need for better communica . lions to coordinate more effec tive fire fighting. Direct Contacts The proposed trailers, Kline aid, would contain independ ent power plants, and would provide direct contacts with .state, federal and other fire fighting agencies. The trailers would be moved to the scene of the fire, where Kline said com munications were weak during the September fires in some places. . The "fire-ama," Sam Taylor, chairman of the show commit tee said, would be staged early this summer to display and dem onstrate fire fighting equipment from state, federal and other agency departments. The show, he said, will be to acquaint the lumber, industry as well as the public with latest techniques of forest fire fighting and equip ment from the state forest patrol. Lewis' L. (Doc) Simpson, secretary-manager of the associa tion, pointed out that durmg last September's fires, one of the greatest weaknesses in Jack son county was lack of a fore man at the fire line. He said a foreman's training class will be conducted later , with instructors from the forest patrol, forest ser vice and bureau of land manage ment. A five-member nominating committee was appointed by President Arthur Davies to se lect candidates to replace three directors whose terms expire. The Committee includes Glenn Hunter,' chairman, Paul Yocom, Gene Burrill, Nils Eden and Loyd Silva. Retiring directors are Davies, R. T. Moore Jr., and E. W. Pease. A truck legislative committee includes Mel McGrew, chairman, Don Whalin, Bill Moore, Leo Hoag, Ed Collins, Bob Kline and A.C. Smith. The committee will study . legislation affecting log ging truck operators and other subjects affecting the lumber industry. The association commended a party which included state forest patrol personnel which partici pated in opening roads to iso lated families in the Wimer and Evans Creek areas late last week. Commending Letter Simpson presented a letter commending SOCTFA on its forest fire fighting organization from the .Keep Oregon Green association. The letter recog nized close cooperation between local, state and federal agencies in coping with fires last Sep tember. . Another letter showing appre ciation was read. The letter was addressed to Ed Putnam o Klamath Falls from Perry Dun can, 23 Glen Oak court, Med ford, , for courtesy shown the Duncans by Henry (Hank) Os borne, driver of a Putnam truck which assisted in getting the Duncan car back on the highway near Keno Jan. 25. Duncan said his car started skidding and became stuck half off the pavement. Osborne, Dun can said, "stopped and very ef ficiently pulled my car back on to the highway."

A Nichol's Worth of . . V ' Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Feature Writer Washington (U.R) "Neither snow, nor gloom nor dark of night . . . n that is the slogan that pushes the mail men on their appointed rounds. . In these mod ern times, -the good old Post Office has fixed it so everyone can get in on the act, with- Harman Nichols OUT, DeneilX OI mail bags or boots. .' Like in East Palo Alto, Calif., with its dream drive-in post of fice. Mama can slip" a smock over her nightie, tuck her pinkies into sneakers, hustle the kids in to the back end of a station wag on and drive to the Post Office. A bright young man comes up to the car window,, takes her pack age and a bill of green and pretty soon off goes a scarf to Aunt Tebiatha, or a bundle of seafoam candy to junior in Bremen, Ger many. Service at Fairs " It takes but a moment. . For some time now, Postmas ter General Arthur E. Summer field's folks also have been doing their ' public service -at state, county, and even" local fairs. Not quite as fancy as the' Palo Alto deal, but adequate. ' Say .mom takes a rock of blackberry preserves for; a; show- off, and the old man totes Ms. prize pig. Maybe they have a couple of letters which just missed the mailman. . Pop puts the letters in his hip pocket and right there near the gate, at the fair is a post office', He gets up six cents for two threes--and before the boar with a pedigree is in the prize ring the mail is on the way. The fairs go for it, " too. ' The State Fair at Indianapolis last year, for instance, made quite a fuss over it. They fetched mail carrier Gaylee Kinnick, put him leg up over a horse and had him. act like Lewis Jones, the first man who rode the mail into In-? dianapolis in 1922. ' ' Talking Letter Box Texas, of course, has to outdo everybody. There was a "talk ing" letter box in the postal ex hibit displayed at the Four States Fair put on jointly by Texar kana, the local post pffice and the Postal Transportation Serv ice. The thing was wired with loudspeaker. A man behind the screen talked with, visitors, and. made like he was reading letters from home. ' While we are plugging the post office, we might as well quote a chuckler from the Postal News Service. . ' Brooklyn mail handler Ike Goldstein reports this sign on a mail box: .
