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.

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.

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.

The growing number of
older persons in the United
States has stepped up demand
at public libraries throughout
the country for books on all
phases of retirement and old
age.
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

What goes into little Marinka's mind today will affect
you profoundly five or ten years from now. If she learns
only the Communist "party line, your future Is In
' danger. But she can learn the truth if you help.
little Marinka's classes are not at all like those your daugh
ter attends. In civics class, she learns to report on her
parents' every "incorrect" political statement. Her geog
raphy teacher tells her how American troops "occupy"
Western Europe and threaten the borders of her country.
And in her physical education class, Marinka will be
taught how to operate a rifle.
How is she to learn the facts? How wiD she know we
want only peace? The truth can still get through to her.
Because Marinka's family and millions of other oppressed
people behind the Iron Curtain can still listen to Radio
Free Europe. Every day, every hour, the 29 super-powered
transmitters of this freedom network are at work, over
powering Red efforts at "jamming," slashing through Red
