The Jackson county 4-H club part of the 4-H and FFA fair . which will be held Aug. 21 throngh 25 was held in advance of the regular fair this year be cause of overcrowded and con flicting schedules. In prevous years, according to Miss Mar jorie Hattan, county 4-H agent, many of the girls entered the livestock division as well as the home economics division. Since both divisions hold contests and exhibits on the same days many conflicts resulted. Several of the groups were divided into junior and senior classes. This year was the first fair for many of the younger girls. Twice as many girls entered the fair this year as have in other years, according to fair organizer and general chairman. Miss Hattan.

Forestry Officials View Helicopter Hose Laying Yrcka Northern California forestry officials Wednesday viewed a new "Helitack" sys tem of fire fighting techniques in which helicopters are used in fighting fires at normally inac cessible locations. The test was held Wednesday and repeated Thursday at Long Gulch, between -Yreka and Hawkinsville. One thousand feet of hose was laid through under brush by a specially equipped helicopter in 26V seconds. Of ficials said the task would prob ably have taken four men more than an hour to accomplish. Officials said the hose tray, attached to the underside of the helicopter, is capable of laying from 1,000 to 1,800 feet of hose, depending on whether the hose is linen, cotton or dacron. . .. Naw Record The speed in laying the hose Wednesday morning established a 'new record for the operation. In earlier tests at San 'Bernar dino National forest a helicopter layed 1,300 feet of hose in 40 seconds as compared with 30 ; minutes it took eight men to; accomplish the same task. In the : first use of -the helicopter hose ; tray in actual fire-fighting op-, erations, less than one minute ! was required to lay 1,000 feet of , hose. This took place July 5 on the 400-acre Sterling fire in San j Bernardino forest. . ' The rack and hose weigh i about 270 pounds. A theoretical I weight limit of . about 300 1 pounds has been set for the Bell 47 helicopter.
