Also considered at the meet ing was a request by the county court for an interim zoning regulation for the pro tection of land adjacent to the freeway through the county. A public hearing will be ar ranged as soon as possible. The ordinance approved by the commisison was instigated by a petition of residents of the Camp Baker area for a single family dwelling and agricultural zone. The petition was studied by the commis sion. During June a public hearing was held. T n e commission recom mended that the ordinance, as amended, be submitted to the county court for adoption in that area as standard rules and regulations. The ordinance, as amended, was passed by the commission with John Weisbrod, Shady Cove, opposed. Members of the commission present were Ed Bolt, David Lowry, Rob ert Boyer, Gerald Latham, Cliff Lovejoy, Ron James, Weisbrod, and Edwin Geb hard, chairman. C. W. Duggan was not present for the ses sion. Amendments included the addition of "fresh fruit and vegetable packing and stor age" to the accessory build ings allowable in the area, and provision that excava tion upon the land shall not be made unless within uses as provided for within the dist rict." Prior to the commission s approval there was discussion following Weisbrod's report of the zoning committee, of which he is chairman. More Complete Ordinance Weisbrod stressed the need for a more complete ordinance so that the people wouldn't have to return each week for changes and have the constant fear of possible down-grading of their property He said the ordinance is too general and not factual enough. He said that such an ordinance couldn't do much with what is already built. but it could prevent sub-stand ard building in the future. Weisbrod commented that he felt that if any member of the commission felt that he might .be hurt financially or otherwise by being a member of the commission he should never have accepted the ap pointment. Method in Surveying Feed Not Accurate Vale, Ore.-flJPD-The method used by the bureau of land management to survey eastern Oregon range feed is not ac curate, according to testimony at a hearing here. The testimony was given by members of the Cow Creek Cattlemen's association, who are protesting cuts in range allotments. One Nevada range expert said Wednesday that his studies showed that " the amount of dry weight needed to sustain one steer on the range is 642 pounds a month. But Fred Harris, Nevada range examiner, said that the BLM had set the figure at 800 pounds. Joe Trackaberry, Boise, said that the surveying method used by the BLM did not per mit adjustments to compen sate for natural changes. More witnesses were to ap pear today and then BLM offi cials will testify before hear ing the examiner. Settlement Sought In Vancouver Strike Vancouver. B.C. -lUPD-Pre- mier W. A. C. Bennett said Wednesday the coast lumber industry can afford to increase wases bv 10 to 12 cents an hour immediately. Bennett told a news confer ence here that he was consid ering putting pressure on both the striking International Woodworkers and the employ ers to reach a settlement. The amount cited by Ben nett was eight cents less than the woodworkers were de manding, and five cents more than the employers offered. Frost Damage Noted To Deschutes Potatoes Redmond -UPD- Agriculture experts estimated Wednesday that a Tuesday morning frost in Deschutes county caused about $150,000 damage to po tato crops. The damage was surveyed by Jim McAlister, Deschutes county agent, and Jack Waud of Oregon Sate college. for Interim Zoning He added that the commis sion is a "good" group, but he believes it is doing sub standard work due to "pres sure" groups. Boyer, in speaking of the proposed ordinance and as a member of the zoning com mittee, was concerned with some features of the ordinance which he felt should be under building code Ltstead of zoning ordinance. He said that the county defi nitely needs building and elec trical codes, but they do not belong in a zoning ordinance. Lovejoy, chairman of the building code committee, said the group had met and had de cided that the code was too technical and complicated for them to elaborate on at this time without further study. During discussion of the or dinance James stressed that now was the time to thrash out problems within the ordi nances, rather than pass them and then get numerous com plaints. The proposed interim ordi nance for lands adjacent to the freeway was explained as a temporary measure to pro tect the valley floor from gra vel and road fill excavations. Jack Eaton, planning commis sion technician, explained that the area included within this ordinance would extend from the Josephine county line to south of Ashland where the freeway would join the pres ent highway. The land would roughly in- Gladiolus Festival Starts Aug. 1 With Coronation Grants Pass-Coronation of Gladiolus Queen Gladys XIX and presentation of the royal court of princesse will offic ially opeti the 4959 Gladiolus Festival and parade at Grants Pass, Aug. 1.

Grandma Gatewood Leaves Pendleton Pendleton -flJPD- Mrs. Emma Gatewood, Ohio's walking grandmother, continued her way westward on foot today after spending the night at Pendleton. Grandma Gatewood was met by 12 members of the Pendleton Mainstreet Cow girls Wednesday, who escort ed her the last few miles into this eastern Oregon city. Pen dleton Mayor Normal Gorfkle officially greeted the 71-year-old hiker. There was a Rotary club luncheon in her honor. But Mrs. Gatewood begged off any nighttime activities. She said she wanted to get a good night's sleep, before heading west again today. She said she is as determined as ever to complete her hike to Port land, to attend Oregon's Cen tennial Exposition. Four Killed When Light Plane Crashes Vancouver, B.C..-UPD- Roy al Canadian Air Force offi cials Wednesday reported that all four persons aboard a pri vate plane were killed when the aircraft crashed in the British Columbia interior ear lier this week. Members of an RCAF para rescue squad parachuted into the crash scene Wednesday afternoon and radioe'd there were na survivors. Approves elude the entire valley floor. excluding sub marginal lands and areas within incorporated cities. The ordinance was pro posed by the county court, Eaton explained, due to condi tion in other Oregon counties where numerous excavations for highway fill had proved to be water traps for breeding mosquitoes. He added that the ordinance would prevent the use of good agricultural topsoil for use in road-building. He noted that at least one such excavation, of about 20 acres in size, has already been noted in the county. He explained that the pro posed ordinance, identical to the interim zoning ordinance for the Camp Baker rd. area, would serve until "a county- wide zoning ordinance as soon as practical, with further dis cussion set for the next meeting. Bids Called For Improving of i Recreation Site Bids for construction of recreation facilities at How ard Prairie reservoir on the Rogue River Basin project will be opened in the office of the project construction en gineer at camp White at 10 a.m. Aug. 20.

Timber Salvage To Start Soon Salvage timber operations on the Rogue River National forest will get underway soon, according to a recent report to the Timber Committee of the Southern Oregon Conser vation and Tree Farm asso ciation by Howard Hopkins. U. S. forest service official. It is planned that one for ester will be assigned to small sales and salvage sales work in each of the four districts in the Rogue River National forest, Hopkins reported. In cluded in the salvage sales will be all dead, down, and dying timber. Hopkins noted that recent appropriations will allow for esters in 80 districts in the United States to be assigned to salvage operations in na tional forests. This marks a big step forward in overall timber management, he ex plained, and estimated that the conservation and utiliza tion program would be ex panded each year. It will defi nitely improve forest manage ment by removal of the sal vage type timber, he added. Any sale under one-half mil lion board feet will be termed salvage sale, according to Hopkins. These sales will be handled in the same manner as larger sales. Thornton Issues Opinion on Petitions Salem-UPD-State income tax referendum petitions which have signatures in the wrong place will not be valid, Attor ney General Robert Y. Thorn ton said today. The opinion was requested by Secretary of State Howell Appling. Thornton said there have been some irregularities in signatures on referendum peti tions filed by the "Citizen's Committee for Economy and Equitable Taxation." Some persons have signed the petitions in places other than the pigeon hole provid ed, but Thornton said they still complied with the law as long as other legal require ments are met.
