The trees are white and Douglas fir and were purchased from Food and Son of Salem, the Ed Groush nursery at Grants Pass and some were obtained from the state nursery at Cor vallis. Hunter reports, a 50 percent loss from the 25 acres pu in last fall and an 80 percent loss from the February planting of 10.000 trees. One reason lun ter eave for the loss was lack of preparation of the ground before planting, which caused a heavv weed CTOD that had to be cultivated eight times and hoed three times during the summer. Another reason for loss was excessive rain which caused packing of the cultivated ground and smoth ering of the roots Some of the trees were pro tected from the sun oy shingles, which Hunter said was useless due to intensive cround heat which killed some of the plants. This sum mer Hunter and Best will use ground covering of old saw dust to hold moisture and pre vent weeds. An additional 25, 000 plants are being set by hand in the spaces left by the dead trees. Four men are en gaged in planting and 500 trees per man are planted in a day. Glen Best and Charles Kim ball, shop supervisor, designed and built a tree planting ma chine, but wet ground pre vents its use at present. Event ually Hunter and Best expect to have 350 acrs in trees. At oresent they receive a gov ernment subsidy of $750 a vear.

When Jim Winningham did a washing last summer he didn't expect to create havoc in the Umpqua national for est. But, as related by Mrs Winningham, who was in charge of Roundtop state lookout at the head of Evans Creek, Jim was doing the family wash at their home here, and not having time for it to dry before he went to the lookout, he took it along, and laid it to dry on the brush around the lookout house. Before long an Umpqua lookout called his headquar ters reporting a fire under n e a t h the Winningham's. They frantically ran out doors, and decided the glare of the white laundry re sembled smoke when viewed from some distance. Mrs. Winningham is grate ful for the comforts of home, Former Military Man Finds Switch To Executive Post Easy - M Editor's note: This it the fourth of six dispatches telling; the storie of noted military leaders who have moved into hie Jobi in l".S. in dustry as "Tycoons Out or uni form. By JAMES L. KILGALLEN UPI Correspondent New York (DFD A former four - star general disclosed today that switching from a long military career to a top business executive job was not as difficult for him as he had anticipated. Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe, of Battle of the Bulge fame, put it this way: "I was surprised after 38 years in the Army that I could make the transition so easily." McAuliffe, who is in the second year of his peacetime job as vice president for en gineering and construction of the American Cyanamid Com pany, discussed this success story switch as he sat behind a desk in his skyscraper office at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York. Now 60 years of age and wearing civvies, the genial, fit - looking McAuliffe told Crow's Seeks Old Lumbermen's Name Portland Crow's Lumber Digest of Portland has launch ed a drive to locate the state's oldest lumberman to be used in connection with a Who's Who oi old timers in the busi ness in a special Oregon 'cen tennial issue next year. The magazine has asked that nominations for the oldest lumberman along with details about his career, age, how long in the business and .the nature of his work, be sent to Crow's Centennial Issue, C. C Crow Publications, 623 SW Oak st., Portland 5, Ore. Crow's also is seeking in teresting information about early day lumber and logging operations in Oregon. The special issue is planned to be published Jan. 15. having spent three months on a 25-foot tower in a 12 by 12 foot house. Her only absence during that time was one night spent at her home here. Her job kept her busy, particur larly seeing that numerous other lookouts didn't report a fire before she could detect it. Ben Twiss, summer fire guard at Star Range station. underwent surgery at Sacred Heart hospital Monday. Rural Reflections: In this time of burrowing around for Centennial material, it is in teresting to note in "30-years-ago" files what local folks were doing. Martin and Chester McDon- bugh, before launching their Sunnyside service station, were making lug boxes at a Medford packing house and Josephine Clute Krouse was secretary of a school girls' sewing club led by Mrs. Min nie Offenbacher. United Press international his present job is "novel and chal lenging" but that the objec tives, as compared with the Army, are different. McAuliffe was "a soldier's soldier." Among other mili tary posts, he was command er in chief of the United States Army in Europe.. He retired as a four-star general on May 31, 1956, and shortly there after joined American Cyana mid. . He is the man who, during the defense of Bastogne in World War II, is reported to have flung back "Nuts" to a German commander who called upon him to surrender. In talking to the general you sense that repeated references to this incident over the years are a bit of a nuisance to him. "I was prouder," said Gen. McAuliffe, flipping the ashes from a cigarette, "of the way we conducted the battle when surrounded by Nazi divisions than of the answer to the German demand." Broad Background Asked why he thinks in dustry has tapped so many former military leaders for lucrative peacetime positions, McAuliffe replied: "I look at it this way. A military commander gets a broad business background while carrying out his duties. He has to make decisions. He accepts responsibility. He must have business judgment, He must have diplomatic ability and know how to get along with people of all na tions. "Whether his mission is to Spain, Germany, Italy, Japan or anywhere else he has to meet all kinds of problems in volving organization; busi ness, diplomacy and public relations. "For example, it was big business when I was com mander in chief of the Army in Europe. I ran the post ex changes in Paris, Berlin and other cities. They were like small departmAit stores. Our PX's did $150 million a year in sales. Wine and spirits grossed $12 million annually. "I also ran a school system for dependent children, with 75 schools in Europe. We pub lished the newspaper Stars and Stripes, with a daily cir culation of 150,000- We had a chain of movie theaters. We had a group of radio stations called the Armed Forces network. "In Germany, we had a con struction program done with German reparation funds. We put up industrial buildings, warehouses and apartments. The total cost of them in Ger many alone was $1,000,000,- 000. "Every overseas command er in the Army and Navy has that kind of a job to do. They are forced into a lot of busi ness situations aside from their tactical jobs." Gen. McAuliffe's ' present duties with Cyanamid has to do with the building of fibre and chemical plants and other structures for the company, "The most challenging part of the job," he said, "is to start a plant successfully with a product that meets specifi cations, and to complete the job on time and within bud get authorization. We have been doing $80 million in the two years I've been with the company." , McAuliffe admitted he misses the comradeship of the military men he had known. During the early years of World War n he joined the 101st Airborne Division as an artillery commander and in this capacity parachuted into France the night of June 5-6, 1944. He participated in many oth'erf combat missions and in the absence of the division commander he commanded MAIL TRIBUNE, MadforJ, Or., Thwtday, November 20, 19SS 7A the 101st in the defense of Bastogne. In the attack from Alsace in March, 1945, he command ed the 103rd Infantry and later raced through Germany and Austria to capture Inss bruck and the Brenner Pass to make the historic link-up with the American 5th Army from Italy. The ruddy - complexioned, 5-foot 8-inch McAuliffe lives at 1040 Park Ave. in New York with his wife and daugh ter, Patricia. He has a sort John, who is with a lumber company in San Francisco." "I hope to keep this job with Cyanamid for five years more," said Gen. McAuliffe. "Our company retires at 65l I won't like it when I have to retire but I will accept the situation." (Next: Gen.
