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."

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-

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

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.

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.
