Respect of Natural Resources
Makes Good Fish Conservation
(Editor's note: This is
' another in the series of ar
ticles being published in
connection with Conserva-
- lion Week, which is being

Basic respect of all our na
tural resources results in good
iish conservation. Resident
trout and spiny-rays in our
lakes and streams and migra
tory salmon and steelhead in
streams will prosper if giv
en half a chance with respect
to the protection of their en
vironment. There are few instances of
major decline in fish popula
tions that cannot be traced
to . an abuse of one or more
of the basic natural resources;
forest, soil or water.
Property managed land and
forests distribute the annual
run-off through all months of
the year instead of encourag
ing heavy floods in winter and
dry stream-beGs in the sum
mer. Stream-side cover strips
provide shade and cover for
fish as well as a control of
stream temperatures through
many miles of stream below
in which fish can use.
Must Be Established
Soils must be stablizied for
many reasons. Farmers have
learned of the benefits they
derive from the control of
erosion from their lands. The
timber industry is learning
how necessary the control of
erosion is to reforestation.
There continues to be poor
road construction, inadequate
drainage and generally care
less land-use practices which
cause silt loads to streams
which tear down fish popula
tions. Silt loads smother mil
lions of fish eggs in the gravel
of streams every year. Aquatic
insects upon which fish lare
almost totally dependent for
food are killed off, too.
Wise use of water is nec
essary not only for fishlife,
but for all of the uses of water.
Abuses make supplies defici
ent in both quality and quant
ity for other users.
! Fish are usually the first
to suffer when water is pol
luted, over-diverted, wasted
or warmed by poor-use prac
tices. There has been much
need for additional water in
the Rogue basin during the
Rummer months, but in some
instances when available na
tural stream flows are studied,
;the shortages are found to be
Screated by abuse and waste
iiot because of an inadequate
iuppiyl
r Fishing is a highly prefer
red recreation in the Rogue
;River valley. Heavy fishing
pressure exerted on certain
Stream sections and lakes
Jnakes it impossible for Nature
;to keep fish populations up
to levels necessary to meet
the demands of thousands of
Janglers.

the hatcheries then becomes

Russia Seen in
Conciliation Mood
London (UPD - Communist
diplomats hinted strongly to
day that Russia has decided
to go to next Monday's Gene
va conference in a "spirit of
conciliation.".
But Russia's plan was to
hold any concession to the
barest minimum with Mos
cow holding fast to all its
basic principles. The spirit of
conciliation would be limited
to procedural issues and sec
ondary disputes.
- The Iron Curtain diplomats
said Moscow was readying
some "demonstrative gesture"
at the forthcoming East-West
foreign ministers' conference
as a good will token - and as
the price of a summit confer
ence. A meeting of, the heads of
state remains, the primary and
immediate objective of the
Kremlin's diplomacy, they
said, , and the foreign minis
ters' meeting is regarded as
a necessary nuisance.

Space Rocket
Contract Awarded
To Convair Firm
Washington UPD The civ
ilian space agency today .was
awarded a $33,500,000 con
tract for development of a
new space rocket which may
be fired to Venus in early
1961.
Known as the Vega, the
new three-stage vehicle was
said to be capable of putting
a two-ton space laboratory
with several men aboard into
a 300-mile high orbit around
the earth for a period of sev
erar weeks. "
Convair Gets Job
The National Aeronautics
and Space " Administration
awarded the contract to Con
vair Astronautics 'Division of
General Dymnamics Corp., at
San Diego, Calif., and said
test flights were expected by
late 1960.
NASA Administrator T.
Keith Glennan described the
Vega as "the first of our more
advanced boosters," and said
its chief job will be "lunar
and planetary investigation."
New Rocket Included "
The Vega vehicle will con
sist of an Atlas intercontinen
tal ballistic ' missile for the
first stage, a Vanguard satel
lite launching vehicle booster
for the second stage and a
new rocket now under devel
opment by NASA's Jet Pro
pulsion laboratory for the
third stage.
When other contracts are
taken into account the Vega
program may cost about $76
million. It calls for produc
tion of eight vehicles by the
end of 1961.
The Vega will stand as high
as a 10-story building and it
will weigh more than 147
tons

Men's Dreams Shape
Which They Live, Speaker Says
Each age is shaped by the
dreams of men living in it,"
Dr. John Furbay, world trav
eler and director of air world
education for Trans-World
Airlines, told members Tues
day evening at the final meet
ing of the Knife and Fork
club at the Rogue Valley
Country club.
Speaking on "Wings Over
the World," Dr. Furbay's talk
was of the point of view a
person gets of the world from
the air.
"Once a person has exper
ienced a God's-eye view of the
world," the speaker said, "he
will no Jonger have a bug's
eye view, one in which noth
ing can be seen over the roof
tops."
Present at Geneva
Dr. Furbay, holder of a
doctor of philosophy degree
from Yale, was present at
Geneva, Switzerland, at the
conference at the Summit four
years ago and on a recent tour
made 66 speeches in 22 coun
tries. He is a former profes
sor at Mills college in Oak
land. "To understand the prob
lems of the 20th entury,' one
must understand its pattern,"
the speaker explained. "Man
dreams four dreams: a dream
of a world free from war,
of enough to eat, of self-gov
ernment, and of human dig
nity and equality for all men."
In elaborating on these
dreams, Dr. Furbay said that
the dreams are the same for
all men in all countries.
Follow Philosophy
"People will follow that
political philosophy that will
get for him what he dreams
of. The world is presently
made up of one-third free peo
ple, one-third under Commu
nist rule and the remaining
one-third uncommitted. This
last portion hasn't made up its
mind," Dr. Furbay added.
"Which ever way this section
of the world's population de
cides, that is the way the
world will go."
The speaker stressed that
this decision will be made
within the next 10 years.
"People are scared of war,"
he continued, "they will listen
to anyone who will sell peace.
We know that we aren't for
war, but do the people of for
eign countries know that?
They only know what they
hear."
Peace in Title
"The Co'mmunists have
scooped us throughout the
world talking about peace,"
the traveler explained, "the
majority of the groups in the
world with peace in their title
are Communistic."
"Special" Mom!
;Vstinhouse

The speaker thought that
world law and world courts
with a police force to back
it up was the only, solution
to world peace.
"The only group capable of
doing this," Dr. Furbay said,
"is the United Nations. But
before we can sell it we must
believe in it."
With the size of the world
shrinking by faster communi
cation, parts of the world that
have lacked for food in the
past now . know that this is
not necessarily true of all
countries.
"Our knowledge in scien
tific farming is essential to
these countries," Dr. Furbay
explained. "As long as Ameri
cans spend 10 times, as much
in one year for cigarettes and
liquor as they do on foreign
aid there should be no com
plaints about the amount of
money sent abroad for this
work."
Throughout World
"I have been in countries
throughout the world," the
speaker continued, "and I
have yet to see a -country
where we send foreign aid
that it isn't appreciated. True,
we are hated in Communistic
countries. These groups in
other countries start stories
that American foreign aid
isn't appreciated. In fact," he
continued, "this policy is in
cluded in the instruction
sheets for Communists in
other countries."
"But," ; he repeated, "we
must believe in the program
ourselves in order to sell it."
"The world is ever chang
ing," the speaker stated, "dur
ing the past 14 years 26 coun
tries have gained their inde
pendence. This was not by
violence but by vote." (
"The . world needs new
blood, new ideas forgotten by
the adult countries, but these
new countries need our en
couragement and our money.'
In speaking of the fourth
dream, the speaker explained
that each country has a second
class problem.
Educated Children
"It is not necessarily a
colored problem. Generally it
is a group, originally slaves,
in which their children have
now become educated. In
many cases the children are
ready for the change but not
the older folks."
In concluding Dr. Furbay
commented that in these
dreams of man everything is
on our side. .-.
"All we have to do," he
said, "is sell it more through
out the world."
The speaker was introduced
