10 MAR. TRIBUNE, Medford, Ortgon, Tuesday, April 22. 1958 Foresters Told of Demands Made on Natural Resources Bend "The concept of conservation through wise use is the cornerstone of modern goals and practices of land and resource management," Edward Woozley, director of the Bureau of Land Manage ment, Saturday told the 1958 annual meeting of the Colum bia River Section, Society of American Foresters. Approximately 350 forest ers attended the annual ban quet. Woozley referred to " the ever increasing population and the added demands on our natural resources. He said, "In meeting tomorrow's demands we will salvage more and more waste mater ials formerly lost or aban doned. This will come partly through development of sec ondary - processing tech nologies in many fields and industries. The secondary utilization of sawdust, bark, and other mill wastes in the forest industry is a present example of a pctice that will no doubt increase." Cooperation Cited In referring to the ever in creasing demands of the pub lic for outdoor recreation areas, Woozley said. "The Bureau of Land Management is co-operating with the Na tional Park Service, state and local governments, and private organizations to in ventory needs and develop programs for recreational land use on areas of vacant public domain and O and C lands of Western Oregon." During the morning, "Eco nomics of Intensified For estry," was discussed by Davis Weyerhaeuser and J. Herbert Stone. In reviewing the future of wood products, Weyerhaeu ser emphasized the close re lationship between the var iety of wood products sold profitably and intensive for est practices. Stone, regional forester of the U. S. Forest Service, stressed the fact that greater population growth will create an ever increasing demand for timber, recreation, and water, and this in turn re sults in increased costs which must be considered with re spect to more intensive forest management practices on the national forests in the future. Forest Soils Robert F. Tarrant, of the Pacific northwest range and experiment station, and Tom Orr, forester for Weyerhaeu ser Timber company, discus sed forest soils. They stressed the need for more research and a greater understanding on the part of practicing for esters of soifs and their rela tionship to the vegetative coy er. Dr. George A. Garratt, dean of the Yale school of forestry and president of the Society of American Foresters, in dis cussing "The Profession and the Future," stressed the need for a broader curricu lum to meet the requirements of future foresters. The afternoon session ter minated with a panel on "In tensified Land Management." Clarence W. Richen of the Weyerhaeuser Timber comp any pointed out that greater volume returns per acre can be accomplished through pre logging and thinnings. P. W. Schneider emphasized the need for sustained yield of wild life crops as well as tim ber to meet the growing needs of the public. Dwight Phipps, State Forester, reviewed the results of the fire control pro gram in past years and pointed out that the pre-sup-pression training schools are effective in getting well co ordinated fire fighting teams established. Also he pointed out that greater utilization will result in less fire danger. Neuberger Joins In Criticism Over Waler Resources Washington IIP A group of Democratic senators Mon day criticized the State De partment for "dragging its heels" in negotiations with Canada over water resources development. But a department spokes man said that although talks with Canadian officials have been "quiet and undramatic," the progress made has been "nonetheless real." Series of Hearings The statements were made as the Senate Interior Com mittee opened a new series of hearings on joint U. S.-Cana-dian development of the Co lumbia river basin. Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D.-Ore.) complained that dis cussions between the two countries over Libby dam in Montana have been "bogged down." The project, author ized by Congress in 1950, still has not been built. Neuberger said this case il lustrates that the State De partment has been "dragging its heels in these negotiations" and charged that department officials have adopted a "cav alier and indifferent attitude" toward the talks. Water Diversion Proposed TheDregon senator told the committee meanwhile ' that a top Canadian spokesman re cently proposed that Canada divert the waters of the Koo tenai river, a tributary of the Columbia, for its own pur poses. He said that if this is done, "Libby dam could never be built." Neuberger said the sugges tion was made by Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton, chairman of the Canadian section of the International Joint Commis sion, a group which adminis ters water agreements be tween the two countries. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1 1 A.M.

Northwest Oregon Rivers Said Rising By UNITED PRESS Rivers are on the rise again in Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington after nearly a week of rain. The U. S. Weather Bureau predicted more rain today for western parts of Oregon and Washington with scattered showers for eastern sections of both states. At Jefferson, the Santiam river crested near the 13-foot flood stage Sunday. The bu reau said the Lower Columbia and Willamette would rise slowly through late Tuesday. Melting snow and rain caused the Umatilla river to overflow its banks Sunday in lowlands near Thornhollow, forcing an eastern Oregon ranch family to evacuate their home near the river. Later reports said the water had re ceded a little. McCALL OFFICIAL DIES New York HP) Former Vice President John E. Smith, 59, of the McCall Corp. died last Saturday in the New York Infirmary. He had also served as advertising director of McCall s magazine. It's a "lonesome road" when you go by car.. Is That So? By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist Did you know that a whale, the biggest creature known on earth, comes from an egg no bigger than that of a mouse? He does. One of the larger eggs taken ' from a finback whale was found to measure only 0.00065 inches. A special type of micrometer was need ed to measure it. And yet the finback calf at the moment of birth is likely to measure as much as 20 feet in length. Furthermore, he is able to swim as well as any others in the school. He has to in order to keep up with it. Until he is able to fend for himself, his mother feeds him by pump ing rich milk thorugh a great muscle into the youngster's gullet. By the time he is weaned, his diet consists mainly of plankton, a mixture of minute animal and vegetable forms, which he consumes at a rate of around a ton a day. Thanks to that food, found throughout the oceans, he at tains his enormous growth and strength. One finback, for example, towed a, whaling vessel for three hours at a rate of 12 miles an hour and that while the ship's engines were run ning three-fourths speed as tern. That record was bettered by a female blue whale who pul 1 e d a twin-screw, 90-foof whale-chaser for eight and a half hours at five knots. The ship had her engines going full speed astern. In addition, the whale had a 500-pound harpoon in her back connect ed to the ship by a four-inch rope half a mile long. Besides the meat, oil and bone that whales yield, they have another valuable prod uct. It is ambergris, used as a perfume fixative. It is gen erally produced by sick sperm whales. A 400-pound lump once brought over $100,000 on the market.

With the recent organiza tion of a Golden Age club in Medford local interest in these subjects is expected to increase. In response the Medford Public Library offers a number of books aimed at helping people enjoy the lat er years of life. George Gleason has writ ten "Horizons for Older Peo ple" for just this purpose. Among the problems consid ered in his book are: finances, health, housing, and social life. The author also gives suggestions for post-retire ment employment, and lists some homes for the aging. In "Aging Successfully" Dr. George Lawton presents in an interesting, nontechnical style a compilation of case records drawn from his wide experi ence in the field. Intended to encourage and to aid others in making sensi ble plans for a healthy, cheer ful, and useful seniority is Edward Ringwood Hewitt's "Days from Seventy-five to Ninety" in which he proudly recounts his own varied con tinuing interests. "I Retire to Cape Cod" is Arthur Tarbell's autobiography written in sim ilar vein. "Dear Mad'm," Mrs. Stella Patterson's lively ac count of her life near Happy Camp is another suggestion. For the man or woman 50 years old who should be con sidering retirement and ways of making the next 20 to 30 years the "best years" of life Walter Pitkin has written 'Best Years; How to Enjoy Retirement." Ray Giles m "Live Better After Fifty" also gives good sound advice on how to prepare for retirement with hobbies and new inter- J. W. Steel Wins Free Sleeping Bag Mr. J. W. Steel, of N.

For informal suggestions on what to do and how to do it when older members of the family become dependent the library suggests "You and Your Aging Parents, by Edith M. Stern and Mabel Ross, or the Public Affairs pamphlet, "When Parents Grow Old," by Elizabeth Ogg.
