Off-Duly Police
To Assist At Fair
Off-duty Medford city po
licemen and other qualified
personnel will be retained by
the Kiwanis club, sponsors of
the County air, to assist in
traffic control, security patrol
and other duties to assure a
well-run event for the whole

area are available near the
Armory and in the adjacent
fairgrounds property to ac
commodate the crowds which

the Kiwanis event believe
that the road work and signs
completed recently by Jack
ion county road crews on en
trances and exit roads will
prevent such congestion.

Timber Owners
Urged To Plan
For Public Use
Private timber owners in
the United States must con
sider other things besides get
ting only a single crop from
their lands, according to an
article in the recent issue of
The Timberman, a forestry
logging journal.
Timber owners must plan
also so their lands deliver
usable water and can be used
for public recreation
In his article, Arthur Car
hart, Denver, Colo., pointed
out that forestry practices de
signed for maximum timber
production are, in many in
stances, identical with the
best watershed management
methods. However, there are
exceptions, he admitted.
Objections have been raised
to the recent practice of skin
ning much or all tree growth
from watersheds to gain more
runoff. All water will run off
immediately to be trapped for
future use if woody plants are
removed, areas seeded with
grass, or even asphalt -surfaced,
supporters of this ac
tion claim. 1
Plans Urgad .
Private owners must make
plans so the public's use . of
timber land will be orderly
with no damage to either the
land or its timber crop, Car
hart asserts in his article.
Such an owner who incurs
this expense of recreation de
velopment will have to re
ceive some pay from the pub
lic. Carhart suggests a "land
use planner." This man would
plan the human use of the
privately owned forest in co
ordination with timber and
wood production.
House Approves
Vaughan Medal
Washington (UPD The
House without debate gave its
permission Monday for Maj.
Gen. Harry H. Vaughan, mili
tary aide to former President
Truman, to wear a medal
from former Argentine dic
tator Juan Peron.
The award list, which in
cluded 526 other retired gov
ernment personnel, had been
held up by Congress since
1949 because it included Vau
ghan's name.
The bill now goes back to
the .Senate for acceptance of
House amendments.
The fuss over Vaughan's
medal started in 1949 when
newspaper columnist Drew
Pearson suggested Vaughan
should' be fired for accepting
the Order of General San Mar
tin from Peron. Truman re
torted that "no s-o-b" would
tell him how to run his of
fice. This fanned a controversy
which was enough to block
consideration of all medals by
the House because Vaughan's
name was on the list.
The Constitution requires
Congress to give its consent
before a government official
may accept any "present,
emolument office or title"
from a foreign state.
