(UPI Telephoto) Efforts to Reduce Air Pollution Is Subject of Panel Efforti of orchardists and mill operators to reduce air pollution and the problems of lash burning in the woods and autumn leaf burning in the city were dis Hissed by a panel of speakers Wednesday at the noon luncheon meeting of Medford Kiwanis club. Speakers were Dunbar Car penter, orchardist; Tom Oliv er, general manager of Tim ber Products company; Curt Nesheim, southwest district warden of the state depart ment of forestry, and Jack Foster, a director of the Citi zens Air Pollution Control league. Carpenter told of the agree ment among pear growers to retire old type orchard heat ers at a rate of 20 per cent per year and replace them with the so-called and more expensive approved heaters. The valley will still have mornings when smoke from heaters is a problem, Carpen ter said, but he pointed out that it will be less. Heating Needed Without heating there will be no pear industry and with heating there is extreme nuis ance and a great expense, he stressed. On a "bad night," according to Carpenter, heat ing costs from $75,000 to $100,000. "And it all goes up in smoke." He mentioned that about 8,000 acres of orchard in the area are equipped with heat ers, about 20 to an acre. With all heaters lit, they would consume 120,000 gallons of oil per hour at a cost of $16, 800 an hour. Increase in acreage heated Is apparently the reason for more smoke from orchard heating in recent years, ac cording to Carpenter. He spoke of the cost - price squeeze problem of the pear Industry and said that this economic aspect might affect the orchard heater agreement. Nesheim stated that pur pose of slash burning is to remove the fire hazard caused by logging. That was the original intent of the law re quiring the burning. He said the matter of whether slash should be burned is one of the most controversial sub jects In the forestry profes sion. He gave the opinion that the question is "how much to burn." Nesheim brought out that there is no "smokeless" way to burn slash but he in ONE easy wott toil 1 FERTILIZES IDSB II CONDITIONS THf SOU I I IT iiVjf I I W TO W Ji wc? J I XmmiaSuiimai&m i or cnkfcwoodl AVAILABLE AT YOUR FAVORITE GARDEN SUPPLY CENTER declared" that, with further utilization of wood, need for slash burning will decrease. Fall Leaf Burning Discussing fall leaf burn ing by community residents as a cause of air pollution, Foster told of the difficulty of going to the "average citizen" and saying "you are the cause." He said that an ordi nance is being talked of which would make it illegal for resi dents of the city to burn their leaves if they are on a paved street. Leaves from property on paved streets can be pick ed up by city equipment and hauled away. He said that some of the leaves are sold by the city. Foster said he wished that air pollution control here could be accomplished with out legislation but that it ap pears new laws will be neces sary. He stated that law en acted needs to be sound and reasonable and brought out that radical laws are difficult to enforce. The citizen's league man praised Carpenter for tre mendous job of public rela tions for the orchardists. He said the big mill operators of the Medford vicinity deserve a pat on the back for their efforts toward reduction of air pollution. They have ac cepted a moral obligation and done it on their own, he said. New Members Introduced as new mem bers of the Medford Kiwanis club were Robert Collins, manager of Coca Cola Bot tling company, Robert Stokes, ' general sales manager of Town and Country Realty, and Hugh Engstrom, one of the owners of Century Sport ing Goods store. The meeting was at Rogue Valley Country club. The Kiwanis club and Ro tary club will meet jointly on Tuesday, April 26, at the country club with Oregon Gov. Mark Hatfield as speak er.
