Variety of Events
Mark Past Year
For State Foresters
.Salem An unusual lire sea
son, improved protection prac
tices, major progress in forest
land rehabilitation, continuation
of the insect survey and increas
ing forest planting on privately
owned lands, marked the activi
ties of the state forestry depart
ment and its cooperating pro
tection associations during 1956
A first season which saw 578
lightning fires out of a total of
987 and the necessity of closing
the fire season in late November
after it had been formally open
ed a month earlier, were the un
usual happenings in protection
during the year.
Favorable Year
The acreage burned during
the regular fire season was 4831
acres, placing it in the list of
one of the most favorable in re
cent years. Then, during the lat
ter part of November and early
December, continuous gale-like
winds came down the Columbia
river gorge, contributing to an
extremely high fire hazard in
the northwest part of the state
Numerous fires broke out and
the governor issued a proclama
tion closing the season in north
western Oregon. It was the first
time that such action had been
taken In the 46-year history of
the state forestry department.
In Clatsop county, two fires
broke out east of the city of As
toria and burned some 6000
acres before being brought under-
control. Another fire got
away from slash burning in the
Cronin creek watershed and
spotted over several thousands
acres of land, most of it belong
ing to the state. Smallest fires oc
cured on the Trask river in Til
lamook county and in Clacka
mas and in Linn counties.
Protection Emphasirad
Improved protection vas em
phasized during 1956 through
special training of protection
groups. This included setting up
seven 10-man overhead crews
made up of selected individuals
qualified through experience
and fitness to take over large
project fires during periods of
emergencies.
Another new departure was
the training of selected individ
uals from industrial organiza-
toins in order to fit them as
bosses on the fire lines. Three
such training sessions were held,
with a total of approximately
100 men taking the courses. An
other step in this .work was ad
vance training and basic instruc
tion for the seasonal fire crews.
Seedlings Planted
During the year, a total of 3.-
135.900 forest tree seedlings
were planted on 3799 acres of
state forest lands. In addition,
8000 acres were seeded by heli
copter. In the process of con
structing snag free corridors,
108.437 snags were felled in the
Tillamook burn.
The 1956 aerial survey of 27,
000,000 acres of Oregon's forest
lands indicated that there is still
536,130 acres of widely scattered
spruce budworm infestation,
mainly in the Blue mountains of
eastern Oregon. This included
476.000 acres of light infestation,
63,660 of medium, and 5,280
heavy.
Due to the nature of the infes
tation, it was decided that no
control work was necessary in
1957. However, entomologists
were cautious in their predic
tions and indicated that it is
quite possible that a major in
festation during 1957 would ne
cessitate control work in 1958.
They recommend that plans be
made to meet such a situation.
Porcupine Threat
-Porcupines have ' become a
major threat to the ponderosa
forests of the eastern part of the
state. In some areas" the damage
has ben reported to exceed that
of forest fires. A study made last
year under the direction of the
state forestry department show
ed that more than 12,000 of the
animals had been killed by for
esters, hunters and individuals
employed for control work. In
spite of this tremendous kill,
there was apparently no reduc
tion in the amount of damage.
The control work is to continue.
The damage by animals was
not limited to porcupine. The
black bear became a menace to
young Douglas fir and spent a
considerable part of his time
peeling the bark from the root
collar and trunk. Reports indi
cated that a single bear could
kill as many as 1,000 trees in a
single year. A cooperative con
trol project resulted in the kill
ing of more than 200 of the ani
mals. Tree planting has become a
major activity with the private
landowner. Farmers are increas
ing the area of plantations each
year and the industrial groups
are planting many areas imme
diately following logging with
out waiting for nature to do the
job. The result has been a de
mand for seedlings that far ex
ceeds the capacity of the Oregon
forest nursery. Orders during
the first four weeks of the fall
shipping season were more than
twice the full capacity of the
nursery, foresters said.
CONSTIPATED?
new laxative discovery
un-locks bowel blocks
without gag, bloat or gripe
Constipation is caused by
what doctors call a "thrifty"
colon. A "thrifty" colon is one
that, instead of retaining
moisture as it should, does the
opposite: robs the colon of so
much moisture that its con
tents become dehydrated, so
dry that they block the bowel ;
o shrunken that they fail to
excite or stimulate the urge
to purge that propels and ex
pels waste from your body.
TO REGAIN NORMAL REGU
LARITY two things are neces
sary. First, the dry, shrunken
contents of your colon which
now block your bowel must be
re-moistened. Second, bulk
must be brought to your colon
to S-T-B-E-T-OH STIMULATE it
and so, excite its; muscles to
action; to a normal urge to
purge.
ONLY A BULK LAXATIVE
can 1) re-moisten this dry,
shrunken waste and 2) supply
vital bulk to re-create a nor
mal urge to purge. And, of all
bulk laxatives, colonaid, the
amazing new laxative d!seov
ery ia so effective that it
relieves even chronic consti
pation overnight, yet is ao
smooth, so gentle it has been
proved safe even for women
in the most critical stages f
pregnancy.
SUPERIOR TO OLD STYLE
bulk, salt or drug laxatives,
COLONAID neither gegs, bloats
nor gripes; does not interfere
with your absorption of vita
mins and other valuable food
nutrients; and in clinical
tests, did not causa rash or
other side reactions.
ITS A PHYSIOLOGICAL FACT!
Exercise tones your bodyl
And COLONAID exercises your
colon to tone it apainst consti
pation, overnight! Whether
occasional, frequent or chron
ic, whatever your degree of
constipation, get colonaid, in
easy-to-take tablet form at
any drug counter, today! The
price, only 9Sc for the econom
ical 60 tablet package, brings
you positive relief at less than
2c per tablet.
point his successor until the
next regular election when a
successor can be elected by the
people. And the governor is free
to select an appointee without
regard to the party of the sena
tor who died.
There are 11 Democratic sena
tors from states having a GOP
governor, and some of them have
reached advanced age. There are
20 Republican senators from
states with Democratic gover
nors, but their average age is less
than that of the Democrats who
find themselves in this same
situation.
Democrats breathed a big
sigh of relief last week when the
Rhode Island Supreme Court
ruled that the new governor of
that state is Democratic Dennis
Roberts, rather than Republican
Christopher Del Sesto. The rea
son for anxiety was that the
oldest member of the Senate is
a Democrat, 89-year-old Theo
dore Francis Green, who is al
ready the oldest man ever to sit
in the Senate.
Spry as he is, Sen. Green can't
last forever, and Democrats
were worried that a Republican
governor might get the chance
to appoint his successor and
thereby give the GOP control
of the Senate. One less Demo
crat and one more Republican
would divide the Senate equally,
48-48, and permit the president
of the Senate, Vice President
Nixon, to cast the tie-breaking
vote in favor of the GOP.
Next in line, by reason of age,
is 82-year-old Sen. Mathew M.
Neely, whose state of West Vir
gina now has a Republican gov
ernor. Neely has been in and out
of the hospital in recent months.
Then comes Montana's 80-year'
old Sen. James E. -Murray, who
heads the Senate Interior Com
mittee as long as Democrats
hang onto control. Next is 72-year-old
Sen. Joseph C. O'Ma
honey of Wyoming, and then 68-year-old
Sen. Dennis Chavez of
New Mexico. ,
Ambassador Passion
Chavez was the subject of one
of those colorful stories that
goes around sometimes which
bears on this Issue. Chavez, so
tlie yarn goes, has always had a
passion to be ambassador , to
Spain. And since his state now
has a Republican governor, he
has reportedly let it be known
to GOP insiders that he would
be willing to resign his seat in
return - for the appointment to
Madrid.
The only Republican senators
in this upper age register are
77-year-old Edward Martin of
Pennsylvania and 76-year-old H.
Alexander Smith of New Jersey.
The legislative significance of
party control lies in the com
mittees, for the majority party
always gets to name more sen
ators to each committee than
the minority party. Also, most
staff workers attached to com
mittees are named by the ma
jority party a fact which fre
quently determines whether the
bills taken up are agreeable to
the president or not.
So this 'year, when senators
greet each other with "How are
you feeling today. Senator?"
they won't be just passing the
time of day.
