2 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford", Oregon, Sunday, February 1. 1959 Annual Student Government Day Gets Under Way Wednesday At the 11th annual Student circuit judge, James Main; Government day gets underlie Hoffbuhr Phoenix, cir- cuii judge, tawara iveiiy, way Wednesday, Feb. 4, those connected with its develop ment will remember the con siderable work done by its "prime movers," the late Dia mond Flynn, mayor of Med- ford, and Mrs. Joanne Smith head of the Medford High school social studies depart ment. Original purpose of the pro gram was to give students of the senior class an opportun ', ity to see local government in action at a time when they are studying local govern ment, according to Elliott D Becken, assistant superinten- ' dent of Medford schools. Stu dents are elected by fellow students to fill local govern ment positions during Student Government Day. The two-day activities come " when the students have fin . ished the local government course, Becken explained. Af ter this brief experience, they return to class and use a pre pared outline to give their experiences. "During Student Govern ment Day. the students are using the city hall and coun ty government offices as. an extension of the school labor- . atory," the assistant superin tendent said. "It personalizes their course and makes them see and experience first hand some of the things they have only read and talked about. "We are greatly indebted ' to the Medford Elks lodge for . carrying the program on and making it continuous, for giv ing the project direction, fa cllities and funds necessary . to put on the dinner, provide the speaker and give it the dressing that appeals to the teenager. "We are also greatly in debted to Medford city offic ials.

T. Moore, U. S. Forest Service staff as sistant, said Friday. The bill would have a strong impact on the national forest system, Moore told a meeting of the Siskiyou chap ter of the Society of Ameri can Foresters Friday night at the Rogue Valley Country club. The forest service has rec ognized the concept of wilder ness as a legitimate use of forests, he said. There ere now 82 wilderness aeas con taining a total of 14 million acres. As specified in the recent wilderness bill proposal, no commercial 'cutting or me-. chanical equipment is allowed in these areas. It has been the past practice for the adminis tration in charge of forest lands to determine what areas will or will not be wilderness areas, he noted. Three Parts The forest service would ap prove passing the bill if three parts are deleted, Moore said. One part would be the pro posal to establish a wilder ness council. According to the bill, this would consist of the secretary of interior, secretary of agriculture, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute and three members at large. The council would be an extra body between the ad ministration and the adminis tration of the land, he pointed out. It would require keeping extra records and extra expense. The other part, which the forest service would delete, would be that section which states that unless the secre tary of interior determines otherwise, in 10 years areas not otherwise designated would become wilderness areas. This would also apply to primitive areas in national WHEN YOU BUY... Friendliness and courtesy are part of our business, too! see us about a home loan!

Insufficient Data When boundaries were drawn on present primitive areas insufficient data exist ed. If the 10-year period were extended to 15 years it would give sufficient time for the forest service to study the lands more accurately and possibly reclassify them. The forest service is now engaged in this work, Moore said. .Wilderness areas must be determined by the adminis tering agencies to allow for adequate disease and insect control, Moore added. Ac cording to present terms of the bill, it would be impossi ble to get into wilderness areas to perform the control work necessary, he indicated. Present wilderness areas do permit watershed use, grazing and extraction of minerals. H . 1 ' ivioore aaoea. Calvin Smith, of the Indus trial Forestry association, pointed out that the executive secretary of the Wilderness Society is directly responsi- Die ior bringing the bill up at the time of the last session of Congress. Attempts to pass mis diu Deiore irom 1956 on have never been successful, he pointed out. Hearings Held A number of hearines were held on the bill recently which revealed a number of sportsmen's organizations backed the bill with a few ex ceptions such as the Izaak Walton League chapter in Portland. However, the Izaak Walton league nationally fa vored the bill, Smith noted. The Alaska Mines commis sion was against the bill since so much undeveloped land ex ists in Alaska, he pointed out. A total of approximately 14 million acres of forest lanrl has already been set aside for one purpose use, the forester noted. The bill would affect 19 national parks and include national monuments. Under the bill the secretary of interior would have up to 10 years to lay out a plan of development. If such plans are not prepared and a pro gram established then all un developed lands would come under the wilderness system. Such undeveloped areas would include ranges and wildlife sanctuaries. No Roads Built Smith pointed out that un der the bill no roads can be built into wilderness areas, no mechanical equipment can be taken there, which includes landing an airplane or oper ating a boat. Lack of roads would make it impossible for forest fire-fighting, it was pointed out. Any changes In the status of the wilderness areas would require a presidential procla mation, the forester pointed out. Economy Suffers Dale Prentice, new mana ger of the Southern Oregon Conservation and Tree Farm association, said that when any part of the land resources are withheld or eliminated the whole economy suffers. Federal taxes originate on the land resources, he said. Every area must contribute to the needs of the people, he point ed out. Wilderness areas are a real source of worry to forestry men since such insects as the spruce bud worm and the spruce beetle are a problem in western forest lands. Lack of access to forested lands as provided for in the Wilder ness Preservation bill further complicate the problem, Pren tice pointed out. During the question and answer period, it was pointed out that not half of the pres ent wilderness areas are used for recreation now.
