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

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

ing Goods store.
The meeting was at Rogue
Valley Country club.

tary club will meet jointly on
Tuesday, April 26, at the
country club with Oregon
Gov. Mark Hatfield as speak
er. A number of Kiwanians
will go to Ashland Wednes
day for an interclub meeting.

a little less than normal un
less weather conditions the
next few months are very fa

serious water shortage "is un
likely." Nelson said the Ochoco res

only 19,000 acre-feet of stor
age on April 15, compared
with 35,000 acre-feet a year
ago.
"Some water shortage in
this area is unavoidable this
year unless weather condi
tions the next 30 days are very
favorable," he added.
Nelson noted that storage in
McKay reservoir near Pendle
ton also was down from a year
ago. He said extent of water
shortages in the area also will
depend on weather conditions.
