Vernon Barkhurst of the high school-college relations committee of the "state board of higher education, and rep resentatives from each state institution of higher educa tion will conduct the meeting. IPitpoirairirn It didn't take long for Potpourri to decide that the "Lum ber Jills" pictured on today's front page aren't ordinary femmes. All "are not only exceptionally attractive, but have personality plus and even the men admit they are efficient. (It was Photographer Bob Vroman, by the way, who came up with the appropriate headline for the page.) For some time we'd been nursing the idea of putting Mrs. Alford Cooper into pictures and print, and after that the page just grew. After the interviews, Potpourri's head was buzzing with phrases and logging and lumber talk that we hadn't heard for a long time (Having been raiaea In logging camps and lumber towns, some of it wasn't unfamiliar.) Mrs. Cooper said she started assisting her husband with the logging because reliable help was hard to hire and be cause "I'm stubborn." Her husband encouraged her to drive the big log-hauling truck, telling her that if she could drive a pickup,, she could drive a log truck. The Coopers were logging off Board mountain in the Shady Cove area last week, and Mrs. C. said it's practically straight up and down. "Aren't you afraid?" we asked and Mrs. C. said "Not any more, I just come down in second under and hope I won't have to get out and take the fire extinguisher to the brakes." The big trucks, of course, carry water tanks which run- cool water on the brakes when the going is tough. . Mrs. Cooper likes to garden and when she wanted some new flower beds, she hauled the top soil, spread it, built a brick wall and did a few other chores. The Coopers have a daughter, JoAnn, who works in Medford. Mrs. Cooper's friends - women, at that - say "she's cute as can be when she's dressed up for a party" and another woman, Mrs. O. A. Eden of the Red Cross, is filled with praise about how Mrs. Cooper was right in pitching when a woman was lost in the forest in that area not long ago. Mrs. Lewis Simpson may not be able to operate a logging truck, but she's a whizz at taking and sending -messages over the Tree Farm association's radio system. Those of the lumber industry in the valley are downright lavish in their praise of Martha Simpson. During the emergency brought on by the lost woman, Mrs. Simpson scarcely left the radio set for al most two days until the woman was found. This unique radio service of the Tree Farm association has been the subject of nation-wide stories, broadcasts and television shows, and Mrs. S. is accustomed to photographers roaming around in her home on King street. Since the Simp sons maintain a 24-hour radio service, even the older chil dren, Ferris, freshman at Southern Oregon college, and Martha, 15, take their turn at the set when necessary. Susan, 12,and Sally, 6, also know all about the radio machinery. Mr. Simpson, known to everyone as "Doc", took the re porter into the kitchen to show us the auxiliary equipment which "allows Martha to get dinner without burning the pork chops. In another room is a set over which Mrs. S monitors Elk Lumber company's private radio set-up as a service to that firm. "If I want to eat a meal in peace, I go to a restaurant says Martha. The Simpsons and Potpourri talked a little about the Okanogan country in Washington, where Martha and Doc, Pappy and Potpourri all lived at one time. Pappy and Pot pourri were young marrieds, Martha was a high school stu dent in Loomis, Wash., and Doc was a forester for the United States Forest service in Okanogan county. The Chelan forest was the largest in the U.S. at that time, and since has been broken up in to smaller units. Men and women of the logging industry are eager for the rest of the county to understand their work and its prob lems. Mrs. Leo Hoag, who is secretary for the Oregon Log and Lumber Truckers' league, points out that this group is a non-profit organization of log truckers, working together to further and better the log-hauling industry through courtesy, safety, cooperation with industry and with legislative and law-enforcing agencies. The Coopers, and others, point out that loggers and lumbermen, on whom so many pay checks depend, are just hard-working law-abiding people like those in any other industry. BiU and Dorothy Shadwick came to Jackson county from California in 1947 and wouldn't go b-ck to California for anything. Mr. Shadwick, a salvage logger for Elk Lumber company, says he was raised in Pasadena, and thinks that the upper Rogue country is practically paradise in compari son. He explained how the "salvage logging," which takes out the over-ripe and diseased trees, is part of the conserva tion program of the lumber industry in Oregon. Lucille Lowman and her husband, J. R. Lowman, operate two wholesale lumber businesses from the same home, office. The Lowmans built an attractive new home in the Wilson park addition, adding a room planned especially to hold their desks, typewriters and teletype machine. Mr. L. is also a transplanted Californian who has come to dike the Rogue valley's fishing and hunting almost as much as he did San Francisco's fog horns and big city excitement. Potpourri didn't spend all her time last week with loggers and lumbermen. Part of it was spent "politicking" and sym pathizing with candidates and their families who lead truly hectic lives just before election. When Governor and Mrs. Robert Holmes finally arrived in Medford Friday after plane trouble, Mrs. Holmes was wearing a chic green wool suit with a furry felt hat of orange tone with feather trim. Her shoes and hand bag were brown alligator. ; For Mrs. Holmes and others the campaign is a ceaseless round of speeches, meetings, dinners, teas, coffees, hurrying here and there and being pleasant and friendly even when bone tired or half asleep from the heavy schedule. Every election year, about this time, Potpourri wonders if there isn't a less expensive and easier way to elect offi cials for a democracy .-O.S.
