i ev Responsibility of Forest (Monagers Reviewed at Meeting 9orest land integrity is the Mr responsibility of the for get land managers, H. R. Glas cock Jr-i forest counsel for the Western Forestry and Conser vation association, told mem bers of the Southern Oregon Conservation and Tree Farm association at the Rogue Val ley Country club Friday night. Eternal vigilance is the I&ic of freedom, Glascock pointed out. Those in the for pt industry must actively de termine how much and which forest land the government shll take. The forest industry should watch to see also that the land is taken for the purpose intended. If it is not, it should be returned to the owner or owners. When land is taken for emergency uses as it was during World War II it should be promptly returned. This has not always been the case, he remarked. With continually more gov ernment encroachment and controls it isn't enough now just to keep the forest land green and productive. Forest land must be kept. "The government must en force some restrictions," Glas cock pointed out. "However, there is increasing projection of the government into the lives of the citizens. Signs of increasing removal of some of our liberties is that the public health officer can now enter a home without a search warrant and the 'number of federal farm crop restric- Ex-Medford Man Receives Grant Dr. Max G.

Rogue River to Vote on Budget Rogue River - Rogue River residents Monday will vote on a proposed city budget totaling $45,980.27, of which $10,490.10 will be raised by taxes. The polling place will be open between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. in the Rogue River city hall. The proposed tax levy will be 1.5 mills less than the present fiscal year's, city hall officials said, if the budget is approved. Among the major items in the budget is $3,000 for a city jail. Police Commissioner H. J. Stephens said the money may not necessarily be spent, but. Oregon law states that each incorporated city is to build and maintain a jail. Rogue River has not had a jail for several years, and for the past five months it has no municipal judge. Stephens pointed out that without a jail or judge, the job of law enforcement is almost impossible. MAGNAVOX - world' leader in Stereophonic Equipment First tfith Stereo one year ago!

Once a freedom is taken it is particularly hard to get it back, Glascock emphasized. The government removes these freedoms and takes over private land on the theory that the greatest public good must be served. Non-Land Owners This is becoming more of a nation of non-land owners, the forest counsel said. This tide must be stemmed ana re versed, he urged. There must be a balance in national poli cy between private and public ownership -of forest lands. In the west the federal govern ment owns the majority of forest land and the loss to private owners has been rapid. , During a recent meeting of the . Columbia River Inter agency association it was pointed out tht private owner ship lost 70,000 acres a year from 1945 to 1953. Some of the' most productive private lands were lost to such de velopment as roads, dams, power-line right-of-ways.. A good example of the gov ernment's threat to private ownership is the proposed coastal park near Florence, Ore. The proposed 30,000 acre national park there would mean removing the homes of 600 persons and taking over a 3,000 acre industrial t.-ee farm, Glascock pointed out. Reason given is need to pro tect the sand dunes, Glascock said. However, the people of the area are already planting trees and cleaning up around the lakes. The best use of land, multi - use, is already being made,' Glascock noted. Startling Ideas If some of "the startling ideas" of ; the public affairs institute are carried out no roads could be built on for ested land until a permit is obtained. The tax bases of counties near, forest . land would be much narrower due to confiscation of private timber lands by the govern ment and resulting removal of such lands from the tax rolls. Charles Ogle, representa tive of the Association of Ore gon Industries, said that, "Evelyn Nye and Dr. Edwin Durno deserve the thanks of the forest industry for the wonderful job they did in the recent state legislative session. And Bob Duncan has been called one of the best pre siding officers the house has ever had." : Dale Waltermire of the Medford Ambulance Service told the group he had received good cooperation on the high ways from logging truck driv ers. However, he warned against pulling off the pave ment at high speeds or sud denly slowing down. He warned, also, against trying to meet the ambulance or high speed and careless transportation of injured per sons. Ambulance attendants have been trained on how best to transport an injured man according to the injury re ceived and should not be in terfered with, Waltermire said. local Pilot Flies In Precision Group Capt. .

Williams, Medford, is one of four pilots who will par ticipate in precision flying in the Air Force's Thunderbirds out of the Portland airport today.

A con crete apron between the silo and the barn broke like a soda cracker ',under, the tre mendous weight. Victor Birdseye, operator of the dairy, said an attempt will be made to save the silage by making it airtight with a plastic cover. He said it is still a mystery to him what made it fall. The picture shows the base of the silo in the foreground and the milking barn at left. The base Is 16 feet 9 inches across. " Reeder to Attend DA's Institute in Salem This Month Thomas J.
