All-Bra n. you know, helps
avoid irregularity due to

often on a trip we eat dif

expected to go to that area.
About 40 members of the Re
publican arrangements commit
tee made plans for the conven
tion in a final session Friday.
The convention opens at San
Francisco Aug. 20.
Plans were drawn up on the
assumption that President Eis-'j
enhower is available for renom
ination despite his current ill
ness. , Although some Republi
cans have not ruled out the pos
sibility that he may withdraw,
they expect him to run and are
not thinking of any switch in
plans.

peatedly declared his belief that
the GOP will renominate Mr.
Eisenhower and Vice President
Richard M. Nixon.
"I repeat that you can paste
the names of Eisenhower and
Nixon in your hats as the nom
inees," he said.
Hall said it was not for him
to say whether the President
should reaffirm the Feb. 29 an
nouncement of availability for
renomination.

County Reflects
Northwest Trend
The dollar volume of building
in the Pacific northwest increas
ed IS per cent last month over
the volume of a year ago, ac
cording to the Equitable Sav

Portland.
The association reported 150
per cent increase in dollar vol

struction outside city limits
where building permits are not
needed.
Building Continues
Construction in Rogue valley
continues in almost all fields
filling stations, new company
buildings, churches, schools and
homes. Construction planned for
the near future will assure an
increased activity of building in
Rogue valley.
Construction already has
started on the new armory south
of Medford on the fairgrounds,
bids have opened for the new
$2,000,000 Rogue Valley Mem
orial hospital which will be
built in a recently annexed area
to Medford, and Rogue Valley
Manor, a retirement home pro
posed for construction on Barne
burg hill in southeast Medford,
probably will be started in the
near future.
Several new subdivisions
have been planned for areas in
and near Medford, and lumber
industries in the valley are ex
panding or planning to expand.
Anticipated construction in
the valley reflects the increase
in population growth of the
area from about 17,000 in
1950 to more than 20,000 pop
ulation in 1955.
Pictures shown on this page
represent various types of con

Initial Protection Force
Placed in Oregon Forests
Salem More than 1,000
year-long and seasonal employ
ees have been placed in the field
as the initial forest protection
force on 13,000,000 acres of for
est land under the jurisdiction
of the state forestry department
and cooperating forest protec
tive association, according to
James H. Walker, assistant state
forester in charge of protection.
In addition, there is a poten
tial of over 50,000 men working
in logging operations who can be
called in case of emergencies.
Walker added.
Trained Forces ,
The forester indicated that
the state would have one of the
finest and best trained fire pre
vention and .suppression forces
ever developed by the state and
its cooperating agencies. This
has been accomplished to a great
extent through a program of
training which has included not
only state men but several
groups of loggers.
"A new departure," stated
Walker, "was the organization
of five special groups of organiz
ed overhead, each made up of
ten specially selected individ
uals from the state organization.
The men have gone through a
course of intensive training de
signed for supervisory jobs on
the fire line. Each of the groups
can be dispatched to assist in
any critical situation which
might arise on state or associa
tion units. '
'Schools have also been held
in Eugene and Medford which
have 'been attended by employ
ees of the logging operations.
The men have been given spe
cial training in the various phas
es of fire organization that
would fit them for positions as
foremen of fire fighting crews."
Fir Prarantion
Another training program has
been attended by seasonal and
year-long personnel. The groups
have been instructed in phases
of fire prevention and suppres
sion, including lookout service.

line construction.
Walker pointed out the acre
age burned over in the state
units during the past three years
has averaged only 10,000 acres
each year. This is a remarkable
record and the first time in the
history of forestry in Oregon
