In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS In election years a lot of as are inclined to make cyni cal cracks about the congress Df the United States. I think ;his is a good time to point aut that here in Southern Ore gon and Far Northern Cali fornia we have no reason to throw brickbats at the con gress that has just adjourned. It enacted into law two meas ures that are of IMMENSE importance to our future. One of them is the Oregon California Klamath River compact. The other is S3051 the amendment to the Klamath reservation termination law. The first reserves for use within its own two-state wa tershed the waters of the Klamath river. The second provides for a fair return for the Klamath Indians from their property and for contin ued sustained yield use of the Klamath forests. HERE are the basic essen tials for growth and de velopment: 1. Water without which all other resources are value less. 2. Ample raw materials for manufactured products that are in demand. 3. Power. 4. Markets for the products to be produced. IN OUR mythical State of Jefferson, we have these essentials in abundance. We have more stored water than any other region between the Columbia river and Hoover dam. Our vast forests, now com ing increasingly under sus tained yield management, which means keeping trees growing as fast as trees are cut, will provide the raw ma terial for lumber and pulp and paper products. Power, in volume to meet our needs, will be produced from our water after it has been used for agriculture and industry. Markets for our products will be provided by the rap idly growing population of the 11 Western states. We have WHAT IT TAKES to grow. JO MUCH for what we have ' now. There is a PLUS ingredient in our future. This 'plus ingredient WOOD CHEMISTRY. B Y MEANS of wood chem- wide range of useful products from the WASTE of plants making products out of wood fiber. Hitherto, these wastes have been costly nuisances. They have had to be DIS POSED OF in some manner or other. Otherwise, they will pollute the waters of our streams. The methods of dis posing of them in use up to now have been expensive. By the miracle of wood chemistry, these wastes will be converted into useful prod ucts. Their conversion will bring to our area a NEW IN-DUSTRY-the chemical indus try. Petroleum chemistry is already one of the nation's leading industries. Competent authorities assure us that in time wood chemistry will equal petroleum chemistry. .18 ICELAND fljg2gH j2 Mlt UMIT isgagSssssrg?::? THERE is this important dif ference: The supply of petroleum can be exhausted. When the petroleum is all pumped out of the earth, there won't be any more. If we keep enough trees -growing, the supply of woodwhich is the basi raw material of wood chemistry will NEVER be exhausted. ' Threes grow out of the soil. They are a CROP. I'EEP your eye on Southern V Oregon and Far Northern California. What can happen here in the next few years, will be worth seeing. "FISH WAR" AREA Iceland Coast Guard men boarded a British fishing boat in the second day of the "Fish War" over Iceland's newly imposed -arbitrary 12-mile sea-limit. The British Navy says a frigate is speeding to the rescue of the trawler. Development of Gorillas Noted Washington -UPD -A study of the first gorilla ever born in captivity shows that baby gorillas develop about twice as fast as human infants in respect to sitting, toddling, walking and standing. A report released here on Tuesday by Drs. Hilda Kno bloch and Benjamin Pasam- anick at the American Psy chological Association's an nual meeting, was based on an 18-month study of Colo, fe male gorilla born at the Co lumbus, Ohio, zoo on Dec. 22, 1956. The Ohio State University research team concluded that "clear-cut qualitative differ ences from human develop ment have been present from the beginning, but the similar ities are perhaps greater than the differences." The two scientists said their research has suggested the hypothesis that "the more prolonged the infancy, when one genus is compared to another, the higher the even tual attainment in terms of intellectual functioning."
