Log Production in
Oregon Totals 7.7
Billion Board Feet
Salem-Oregon's log produc
tion for 1958 totaled 7,709,
433,000 board feet, according
to State Forester Dwight L.
Phipps.
The total is an increase of
almost 150.000,000 over the
previous year, indicating the
upward trend in the forest in
dustries. Phipps added.
However, he pointed out
that it is over two billion
board feet below the banner
year of 1952 when loggers
took out 9,802,471,000 board
feet of timber. That was the
all time record for the state,
the forester added.
Douglas, county was in the
lead in 1958 with a cut of
1,360,722,000 board feet of
timber, with Lane county in
second place with 1,107,441,
000 board feet Coos was the
only, other county which re
ported a cut of over the half
billion board foot mark. For
eastern Oregon Grant county
led with a cut of 240,315 board
feet.
Jackson Total
In Jackson county, 450,285
million board feet were cut,
Phipps said.
In the breakdown of pro
duction by land ownership,
the report indicates that the
national forests of the state
provided 2,144,400,000 board
feet of timber while the In
dian reservations produced
99,125,000 board feet.
: By far the greater cut came
from the private lands of the
state. The exact amount can
not be determined since the
bureau of land management
cut is included, but it will
closely approximate 5 billion
board feet.

Phipps said this estimate of
the log production has no rela
tionship to the lumber produc
tion of the state. He indicated
that some of the logs go to
adjacent states while there is
also a limited footage of im
ports. Furthermore, he added,
large stocks of logs can be
carried over from one year to
the next in cold decks, rafts
and booms.

Council on Aging
Names Chairman for
Regional Conf erence
Frank Glonning, chairman
of the Rogue Valley Coun
cil on Agmg, has been ap-j
pointed chairman of the
Southern . Oregon Regional
Conferene on Aging to be
held in Medford.
The executive board of the
local council will meet Aug.
20 to set an exact date for
the regional conference.
Statewide activities focused
upon the problem of "aging"
are currently pointed toward
April of next year, when a
state conference will be held
at Salem, and toward 1961,
when a White House confer
ence on aging is planned.
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger
(D-Ore.) announced yesterday
that Oregon will,receive $15,
000 in federal funds to help
finance participation in the
White House Conference.
Application Approved
Neuberger said that he has
been informed that Oregon
is one of the first 15 states
whose applications have been
approved.
"The Oregon Council on
Aging has done an excellent
job in insuring that proper
long-range planning is carried
out," he. said. .
The regional conference, to
be held here, will host the
counties of Lake, Klamath,
Josephine, Curry, and pos
sibly Coos and Douglas.
State-wide conferences such
as are planed all over the
nation to get "grass roots"
opinions of citizens on the
needs of older people and
recommendations towards the
way to fill the needs.
Elizabeth Baldwin, Port
land member of the Oregon
State Commission of Aging,
said that representatives from
counties in the state not yet
organized would benefit from
the local conference.
Neuberger said that the
White House conference, to
gether with studies now be
ing carried out by a Senate
subcommittee, could serve as
the basis for estbalishing a
comprehensive approach to
the problems created by the
percentage population in
crease in older persons.

15 million individuals 65

Neuberger said. "By 1975 the
figure will be 20 million. The
size of this population group
is rising at a rate faster than
that of other of other age
groups.
Major Problem
Neuberger said ' that the
major problem facing older
persons is medical care, and
that "the federal government
has a definite and direct re
sponsibility to insure that our
older citizens receive proper
health care.",
Legislation authorizing the
White House conference and
federal grants was approved
last year by Congress, and has
the . further intention of as
suring older person equal em
ployment opportunities, en
abling retired persons to en
joy sufficient income, provid
ing housing suited to the
needs of older persons, and
assisting them to make the
preparation to make "the
gift of added years of life

faction." The surface of Lake Erie is
