McKeuon's KESSAMIN TABLETS Warden Praises Interest in School High praise for the excellent turnout and interest shown in the foremen's fire fighting school last week was expressed today by Curtis Nesheim, south west district warden for the state department of forestry. He pointed out that the turn out of more than 100 trainees at the school Thursday and Friday at the state forest pa trol headquarters on Table Rock rd., was an indication of the great interest of the loggers in the area. Nesheim stressed that a lot of problems in fire control can not be met at the fire line and must be taken care of in sessions such as were held last week. Understanding Important The warden mentioned that, if the loggers are given a funda mental understanding of what the forest patrol is trying to do, they can work with the pa trol much better and fires can be suppressed with much less industry and community loss. The forest patrol feels that fire crews are of little value withou effective leadership. A purpose of the school was to train leaders, Nesheim said. The school here was considered only the beginning. The warden said he hope more will be held with steady improvement. Long Hoped For A foremen's school has long been hoped for by the forestry department but the department was unable to hold one because some organization was needed to bring the men to it, Nesheim reported. That was one of the ways in which Southern Ore gon Conservation and Tree Farm association participated in last week's school. Nesheim expressed thanks of the patrol for SOCTFA's effort in bringing the loggers to the protection agency. He also stated his ap preciation for the cooperation of the U. S. forest service and the bureau of land manage ment. 10 Measles Cases Reported in Medford Measles led the list of com municable diseases reported in Jackson county for the week ending April 21, according to Dr. A.
