He said there are three for estry departments in Medford all working close together and stemming from the government. The first is the U.S. Forest service, responsible to the de partment of agriculture, and the second is the Bureau of Land Management, responsible to the department of Interior, Nesheim aid. Responsible to Stais The organization he is connect ed with, the department of for estry, is responsible to the state of Oregon, he explained. Nes heim added that the state de partment of forestry is broken down Into IS districts, each one with a district warden directly responsible to the state forester. The state forester Is respon- fible to the stale board of for estry, who appoints him, and they. In turn, are responsible to the people, he explained. Nesheim said the governor is chairman of board of forestry. The chief responsibility of the board of forestry is fire control. Districts Explained Of th 15 districts under the state forester, nine are associate districts on a non-profit basis, and the other six, Nesheim said, are all directly responsible to the state forester. On the state level, he added, the board of forestry protects about 500,000 acres in Josehpine county and more than a million acres in Jackson county. Nesheim stated that the state forester is responsible for pro tection of public, private and county lands. However, he said, "if woodland owners want to finance their own fire protection they can if they meet with state fire protection standards." The southwest district protects about 400,000 acres of BLM lands, he said, and exchanges services with the U.S. Forest service on a acre for acre basis. The department of forestry is finance'd by land owners on a so-much-per acre basis and by taxpayers from the state general fund, he said. Many Men Needed Manpower needed to protect the district from fire, Nesheim commented, consists of nine for esters, 28 wardens, 15 lookouts, 37 crew men, six road and main tenance men, nine cooks and five clerks. Their principle job, he explained, is to prevent and ex- tingush fires. Other services of the district warden's office here include giv ing assistance to land owners who need help to get the most production out of their land. Usually the office is open five days a week and eight hours a day, but it will always open up in case of an emergency, he explained. Prospect Boy Wins Three Seoul Awards Prospect At a court of honor held July 2 in Prospect, Explor er Scout Walter Friday of troop 19, Prospect, son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Friday, now residing at Copco, Calif., was presented the Silver award. This honor is the highest rank earned and awarded in the Explorer program. Cliff Hansen, Scout executive of the Crater Lake Area council, made the presentation. Last January 4, Walter receiv ed his Eagle award and on April 29. he received a religious achievement honor, the God and Country award. This was pre sented by the Rev.-R. L. Greene, Prospect Episcopal church pas tor. Walter is the only Scout in Jackson county to receive all three of these awards. Beginning with July 1956, monthly benefits as high as $108.50, based on maximum wages, will be paid under the Social Security Act. Zoo Directors Swap Stories of Unusual Events Chicago U.R) Tales about orphan musk oxen that drink themselves silly on water and baby elephants being weaned with the use of empty whiskey bottles were told at a meeting of the International Union of Direc tors of Zoological Gardens. Zoo directors from around the world swapped stories about some of the "delinquency" prob lems they have experienced with their animal wards. Sven Anderson of the Copen hagen zoo told one about Hans and Trine, one of the very few pairs of musk oxen in captivity. The musk oxen of east Green land were being wiped out in 1953 because of an unusually severe winter. Two calves, a male and female, left the herd to seek food on their own. They turned up at a meteorological station where they were fed a diet of bread, potatoes and beer. The animals thrived and were crated up and sent to the Copen hagen zoo when summer ar rived. Chimp Vandals The musk oxen, Anderson said, have n"o sense of their wat er capacity, so the zoo had to ration the liquid intake of Hans and Trine. From Ceylon came a story about baby elephants being trained to wean on empty whis key bottles. Maj. A. N. Weinman of the zoo at Behiwela, Ceylon told it. Because Ceylon elephants are wrecking farm crops, the gov ernment has given permission for them to be shot. This leaves a lot of baby elephants mother less, and Weinman's zoo receives about one a month. The ele phants are so small they have to be trained to feed on the bottle, and Weinman uses an empty whiskey bottle, held on the side of an adult elephant and craftily slipped into the baby's mouth until it gets the idea. Vandal chimps turned up in the Chester, England, zoo and their house had to be dis mantled to make "honest citi zens" of the apes. The chimps would swing from beams at the top of their home to the ground and throw stones back up through windows. "We couldn't have that," di rector G. S. Nottershead said. Technical Assistant Joins Forestry Staff James G. Fisher recently joined the southwest district staff of the state forestry de partment here as a technical as sistant. He fills the post vacated by John Bradish, who is now an inspector. Fisher, whose home was form erly at Klamath Falls, was a forestry graduate of Oregon State college this spring. He has worked for five seasons Tuesday. July 10, 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THHZS NO MORE "HELL WEEK" Manhattan, Kan.
