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-

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.

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.

SILO TOPPLES - A silo filled with 250
tons of chopped feed crashed to the ground
Wednesday night at the Elliott dairy, 2234
Hanley rd., smashing a section of the milk
ing barn and a metal fence and completely
smothering a tractor parked nearby. 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. "
