12 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. B Sunday, March 27, I960 Advisory Council Discusses Sky Lakes Wilderness Area Establishment of a Sky ' Lakes Wilderness Area along the crest of the Cascades south of Crater Lake National park was discussed by the Rogue River National forest advisory council last week. The council reached on de c i s i o n, and postponed its recommendations until the fall meeting in October. The area is in a limited area established by the regional forester m the early 1930s. Purpose of a limited area is a stop, look and listen, and any use made of such areas must have the specific approval of the regional forester in Port land, according to forest Su pervisor C. E. Brown. ' Mountain Lakes The area under considera tion for a wild area consists of hundreds of mountain lakes and meadows, volcanic peaks, and other mountain scenery that appear to justify their inclusion' in a wild area, Brown said. Under the classification of a wild area, no roads would be built into the area, and improvements installed would be of a rustic type to blend with the actual surroundings. The advisory council ex pressed interest in making a trip into the area this sum mer before submitting its recommendations. Plans are being formulated to view it from the air before the field trip is made, Brown said. Brown said "The forest service believes in multiple-J use management of all of its resources and wild and wild erness areas are one way to preserve these scenic areas for use by all the public in its natural state." Ralph Wiese, staff officer for recreation and lands, re ported on progress to estab lish a campground from re cently acquired Behbart Min ing claim on the "Applegate river. A site plan will be pre pared this spring, he said. The forest service plans to preserve the 100-year-old dam and historic gold' diggings which are reminiscence of the Chinese labor used at the turn of the century in mining on the Applegate district, Brown said. - ' Present plans are to open with a few tables and sanitary facilities, Wiese reported. District Ranger Don Strong of the Butte Falls district re ported on the stand improve ment work being done in the Camp 2 area. This land was once in private ownership, logged about 1925, and later acquired by the forest service in an exchange. ' Several salvage sales and overstory removal sales pro vided funds for pruning, thin ning, fill-in planting, aeriaL spraying, and bulldozer re moval of old brush fields, Strong said. About 600 acres are in this area of intensive treatment, he noted. . A rabbit baiting program is under way in the new. plant ings. Pruning is done on se lective crop trees to insure clear lumber when the trees are harvested, Strong pointed out. Fill-in planting is done to insure that each acre is supporting its maximum in the way of timber production. Ashland Watershed Ranger Harold Thomas of the Ashland district reported on the . rehabilitation of the Ashland Burn watershed. The forest received an appropria tion of $10,790 from special flood control money furnished the secretary of agriculture for this type of work, Thomas noted. Since last October, he said, 608 acres were aerially seeded to rye grass, at an average cost of $2.25 per acre. Forty four miles of contour furrow ing and 209 check dams have been established on the burned-over area, he said. The check dams were estab lished, he said, to check the run off and prevent any ser ious eroding of the soil into the city of Ashland,- and Ash land creek which furnishes domestic water for the city. The rye grass is now well established and no winter damage has been suffered to the watershed, Thomas re ported. 7 Recreation Planning Wiese also discussed the recreation planning under way to improve the Lake of the Woods campgrounds and facilities to take care of the jhigh recreational use. Recre ation, swimming and boating are the principal uses to be developed, he said. Swimming areas will be buoyed, more campground fa cilities, such as tables and stoves will be provided, and new campgrounds will be established in the near future to take care of the over crowd ed conditions, he added. Roads in the area will again be oiled to prevent dusting. Preliminary work done last year proved oiling was effec tive, he added. for 1: H : si "rv t 1 ft Trip to Holy Land Reviewed For Women's Association Baby' No Need To Boil ''s Bottles, Pediatrician Says Philadelphia - (Science Service) Baby bottles need not always be boiled, a pedi atrician said here. ; To back up this statement, Dr. Carl C. Fischer, head of the department of pediatrics at Hahnemann Medical Col lege here, explained his sim ply safe method of feeding infants which he devised to relieve mothers of some of their work load. The method ocnsists of mix ing evaporated milk and or dinary hot tap water. The hot water saves time by elim inating the need to reheat the bottle before feeding, he pointed out to colleagues at tending the American Acad emy of General Practice here. No Difference in Weight Results of a study revealed no statistical difference in weight gained between those babies fed formulas by this method and those fed steriliz ed formulas. Furthermore, there was no evidence of gas trointestinal infection in eith er goup, he pointed out. Bacteriologic studies show ed that single feedings pre pared from sterile milk and hot tap water, immediately refrigerated, remained sterile for an indefinite period (long er than 24 hours). In contrast, those similarly prepared with homogenized grade A milk showed an increased bacterial count. Discard Unused Portions Dr. Fischer did emphasize that this method should be confined to single feedings and all unused portions of each bottle should be discard ed immediately. Also, moth ers must obey strict sanitary rules and follow instructions carefully, he reminded. Further comments . on in fant's diets also came from colleague Dr. Walter W. Sac kett Jr. of Miami who stated that a six-month-old child often enjoys, and is not harm ed by, an occasional cup of coffee. Driving home the point that infants can eat sol ids, he cited his success with two and three-day-olds who ate and enjoyed cereal. He also recommends strain ed vegetables for the 10-day-old and meat for those who have been around for two weeks. "? Tornadoes hit the town of Codell, Kan., on the same day for three straight years, May 20, 1916-17-18. Mrs. Earl Johnson told the Westminster Women's associ- ationjof her trip to the Holy Land during Holy Week at their monthly meeting Tues day morning. Mrs. Johnson presented her program with colored slides in the Fellow ship Hall of the Westminster Presbyterian church. Her tour originated in Ethiopia where her husband was stationed with the U.S. Army." First stop was Jerusalem, a city contrasting the ultar modern architecture of the air terminals and hotels with the ancient, walled Old City. She showed pictures of the market place in the Old City and of the ancient Byzantium art of mosaic that decorated the facade of the Dome of the Rock Mosque where it is said that Abraham offered his son, Isaac, as a sacrifice. Elisha's Well . Bethany was the next city visited. It was illustrated by her pictures of the Church of Mary and Martha," the River Jordan and Elisha's Well, a social gathering place in Bib lical times as it is today. The ruins' of Jericho and the Dead Sea were the next places visited. - Here Mrs. Johnson showed slides of what is believed to be the Tomb of Christ, the Church of Gethsemane and the Garden of Gethsemane with its olive trees and many flowers. Fashioned Cross In Bethlehem ! they saw the Fields of Boaz and the hills of Judea before returning to Jerusalem where Mrs. John son showed a picture of men fashioning an enormous, rough-splintered, heavy cross to be used by a processional pageant through the. narrow, winding streets of the Old City following the same route taken by Christ the day He was crucified. A devotional program en titled "Is Happiness Really Necessary?" was presented by Mrs. Scott Davis at the begin ning of the meeting - and a business session followed Mrs. Johnson's program. Coffee and refreshments were served by Elizabeth circle. Cotton leads a smartly' active life in 1 cruise and resort wear this season.

They are Pink Cherub, Headliner and , Mardi Gras. These are considered the choicest entries from many thousands of crosses and seedlings entered for the an nual selection. "Headliner" is described as a superb mum. The 2 foot erect clump is Tichly clad in dark green foliage. Without disbudding, blossom is 3V inches or' wider, lusciously fulland slightly recurving. Glowing terra-cotto bronze buds swell to vibrant walnut coral giants, often gold-hazed on petal reverses. There has been no color or flower like it since hallowed old Granny Scovill but Headliner is said to be superior in all ways. "Ideal growth, marvelous sprays and tremendous pro duction," are descriptive phrases. It is early, about Sep tember 25. Mardi Gras is described as colorful as New Orleans Mar di Gras. It has huge, 4 to 4V inches across, very double cactus - like decorative type flowers in several different strong reddish orange hues which finally age to pleasing shades of golden yellow. Blooms are very long last ing on the- plant or as cut flowers. The plant is vigorous, upright and compact, Wt to 2 feet tall with 2 to 2Vz foot spread. The large healthy fol iage is a rich medium green. Pink Cherub has a very compact plant of 12 to 16 inch height and it blankets its rounded bushy form with small, 1 to 1VS inch pompon type blooms. These finely meshed honeycomb-like glob ular flowers are borne in clusters on short strong stems. A dwarf, branching plant, cut flowers are taken in sprays, which are profusely covered with masses of bloom. Pink Cherub is a continu ous bloomer from early Sep tember until killing frosts, extremely weather and frost resistant. This charming, pe tite Miss America has its re freshing light purplish pink color enhanced with a red dish purple center, really de lightful and most highly rec ommended. Plants of the All -America mums may be ordered through any reliable plants man, seedsman or garden cen ter, or order them direct from the growers' catalogue and advertising. Specify these winning varieties by name and always look for the red, white and blue All-America Mums certification tag with every plant. That is the grow er's guarantee and none are genuine without that tag. -- . Judge Main's Father Dies Milwaukie, Ore.
