Fire-Weather Forecasting One Of Recent State Developments One of the most important points in developing forest fire protection in the future will be the success of the fire weather forecasts, according to Edward Schroeder, deputy state forester. Schroeder discussed the fire-weather service, one of the state's most recent pro grams in forest fire protec tion, at meeting of the South ern Oregon Conservation and Tree Farm association Friday night at the Rogue Valley Country club. The program concerns the relation of fire behavior com bined . with forecasting, he said. Basically, it is how fire will act under certain weather conditions. Using the Klamath basin as an experimental area, the accuracy of forecasting lightning fires was raised to 93 per cent last year, he noted. Cooperation The state department of for estry cooperates with the U. S. weather bureau in the service. In connection with the .pro gram, he said, the state also is working with the weather bureau in tracking storms by radar, and the effective dis persal of storms by use of dry ice. The - latter program, he pointed out, is expensive, and research is in its early stages. Schroeder also discussed the use of trained overhead teams, tank trucks, dropping chemi cals on fires, and helicopters in fire protection. Overhead Crews Trained overhead crews, he noted, can bring a large fire under control quickly. He complemented the Southern Oregon Conservation and Tree Farm association, and govern mental agencies in cooperat ing with the annual fire fore man's training school which originated in southern Oregon three years ago. The program Medford Students Get Scholarships Corvallis Sandra Kay Bux ton and Stephen Edward Hoag of Medford High school are among 125 Oregon high school seniors selected to - receive scholarships at Oregon State college for 1958-59 under sponsorship of the state sys tem of higher education. The scholarships are worth $138 toward tuition next fall. State scholarships are award ed each year to a limited .num ber of promising seniors from various high schools of the state and to outstanding stud ents already enrolled in col lege. The scholarship quota for each institution, of the state system is 2 per cent of its total enrollment the previous year. Because OSC had an all- time record enrollment this year, the number of scholar ships it is offering for 1958 59 is the largest in history. Miss Buxton is the daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Buxton, 2478 Sunny View. She plans to enroll in chem istry. Hoag is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Hoag, Trail. He plans to enroll in science.

'fcMM ifc.iiniM nt Mi i mit tiM mmsm Medford's Bargain Corner s Sixth and Central J has since spread throughout the state, and has received na tional attention. Chemicals dropped from planes can effectively control the spread of a fire until ground crews can reach it, he said, and pointed out that chemicals were used exten sively last year during the fire season. Helicopters have been used effectively to move water hoses and transport personnel from one location to another at fires. He discussed briefly issues now before the state depart ment for forestry. Among than are water resources con servation, the Klamath Indian agency lands, and the deer problem in the northern part of the state. Inspect Areas He said the state now has the practice of inspecting with the state sanitary committee areas which will be logged prior to the actual operation. In that way, he noted, the committee will have advance notice that streams in the operation area will become muddy. If the Klamath In dian reservation land becomes private . property, the state will have forest fire protec tion responsibilities there. At first, Schroeder said, it may cause a burden on the depart ment regarding protection. Some kind of control of deer is needed in the Tilla mook burn area, and in'yparts of Lane county, he said. The deer problem in that area is becoming worse, the deputy state forester said. He pointed out that since 1949 about 100,000 acres of the Tillamook burn area have been reforest ed, and 126 miles of fire cor ridors have been constructed. Maul Visits Here Accompanying Schroeder from Salem was Ted Maul, executive assistant in protec tion division. Maul is former warden for the southwestern district of the. state forestry department, which has head quarters on Table Rock rd. Also attending the meeting were Curtis Nesheim, district warden of the state depart ment of forestry; Cal Smith, Industrial Forestry associa tion; Dale' Prentice, Western Pine association; and Bob Church, meteorologist at the Medford weather bureau station.

The metal stacks, silver green in color to match the pair of free-standing stacks already in use, will provide shelving space for the entire fine arts collection, better supporting shelving, too, for heavy, oversized art and mu sic books. Their total capac ity is from 1,200 to 1,400 vol umes. By permitting the removal of the fine arts books from the wall shelving where they formerly have been housed, the new stacks also will. re lieve the seriously overcrowd ed science and technology sections and permit expansion of subject collections in these fields. Difficult io Estimate It is difficult to estimate the cost of shelving each volume in the collection of a public library, or the cost of the daily handling and shelf-reading necessary to keep the books in proper order so that any volume can be found when it is required. This, of course, is in addi tion to the cost of approxi mately $1.25 beyond its pur chase price for classifying, cataloging and mechanical processing of each book. All of these items must be con sidered in the decision either to purchase and add a volume or to retain one already in the collection which seems to have outlasted its usefulness. Among the 111 new vol-" umes added during the past two weeks, including 60 new adult and 30 new junior titles, considered well worth their place on the shelves, were the following: The West : Forty Years on the Frontier, Stuart; The Ban nock of Idaho, Madsen; Graph ic Description of Pacific Coast Outlaws, Shinn.
