The experts at the pioneer Aerial Fire Depot at Missoula, Mont., employ a three-pronged at tack smoke-jumpers, hellpcopters and chemicals to combat most fires in the northwest. The outfit worn by Carver includes a nylon suit, two parachutes, football helmet with wire face guard", and emergency signaling equipment. (UPI Telephoto) Aerial Fire Depot Sharpens Attack For Forest Blazes Missoula, Mont. - (UI'II - Ex perts at America's pioneer Aerial Fire depot here have heavy canvas bag containing a disposable paper sleeping bag, first aid kit, canteen, flashlight, shovel, polask - a sharpened a three-pronged at- combination pick and axe - ' tack -smoke-jumpers, helicop and a "backboard" on which ters and chemicals-to combat fires they know could plague the Northwest's rich forests Ihcy have to carry the equip ment when they walk out after the fire. The helicopters, used exper the rest of this summer. imentally for the last few seasons, are utilized for some drops, ferrying supplies and At the depot, on the edge of the municipal airport just west of Missoula, training of rescue work. However, Ham mond doubts they'll ever re place the airplane-riding chut ists because of the problems of helicopter operation at high crews, refurbishing machines and gathering supplies has been going on for weeks. Traditionally, the fire sea son begins in the Pacific Northwest this month. Crew Headquarters The Missoula depot, com pleted in 1954 and dedicated . by President Eisenhower, serves us headquarters for the aerial fire crews in the U.S. Forest Service's Region 1. The region takes in some 8 million acres of roadless for est lands over Montana, Ida ho's panhandle, northeastern Washington and the Black Hills of South Dakota. It was in this area that the business of fighting forest fires from the air really got started in the 1020's'with aerial observation flights. In 1940, America's first smoke-Jumpers - men trained to parachute toward a new born blaze and to keep it from spreading into a conflagration -took off from Missoula to exercise their new skills. The 1940 model smoke jumper, according to Al Ham mond, a 10-year veteran of the service who now directs the training of the parachute crews, is far better equipped than the crews of the early '40s, both in know how and tools. Mosl Experienced Of the 150 men flying to the region's fires this season, 100 are experienced from al least one past season's work. Several have been flying for years-like Hammond. Most, however, are college students between Hi and 28, weighing up to 180 pounds, and all in lop physical shape. Between fires, they join rang ers in regular forestry work but are always on call for their regular aerial duties. When they leave their plane to land In an area des ignated by the airborne spot ter!, they float down on an orange and while nylon para chute, 28 to 32 feet in dia altitudes in the summer's heat and around the aerial turbu lence of a fire. The depot has at its com mand, from the nearby John son Flying Service, a small squadron of World War II Navy torpedo bombers - TBM's-equlpped to "bomb" fires with water made "sticky" with chemicals called borate, bentonite and vermlcullte. "These are only retard- enls," Hammond explained, 'to wet the branches and needles and brush and keep 10 flames from spreading loo rapidly. It still lakes men on the ground to put the fires out." Without Fatality Since the smoke - jumpers were organized, the men have made more than 33,000 jumps without a fatality in parachut ing. However, two jumpers were lost last season In an air plane landing accident at Moose Creek, Ida. In 1941), 12 were killed In the Mann Gulch fire near Helena, Mont., after they had gone to the scene by truck and were trapped In a pocket by wind-shifted flames. In 1959, there were 155 fires In Region 1, 90 per cent of them caused by lightning. Smoke - jumpers made 590 Individual fire jumps, with two to 10 men hilling most blazes. The season's peak was Aug. 1, when 101 men jump ed on widely scattered fires as a raging thunderstorm swept the area. Hammond couldn't begin to estimate how many million dollars worth of timber the smoke-jumpers have saved in the last 20 years by their prompt arrival at fire scenes. "It's plenty, though," he smiled.

I want him to know that, and he can't know it If we try to hide everything from him. He's got to know the truth. The Council: It is likely that Frank knows far more than Charles and Isabel believe he knows about his father. The fact that he asks no questions isn't a particularly good sign. He probbaly senses some hor ror involving his father and fears facing it. We agree with Charles that It is the nature of secrets to someday be revealed - usually in the most hurtful possible way. But the answer is not in forcing the truth down Frank's throat. Don't pass the buck- The answer lies in creating a happy home for Frank - home in which he can feel secure in the love of two parents. It is fortunate, in deed, that this is being offered to the boy.

Because he is only a child, Frank will naturally take his parents' attitude toward his misfortune. If they shrink in fear of the opinion of others he will do the same. If, on the other hand, they can accept the broader re ligious view that there is good and evil In all of Us and that we may choose one way or the other, they will do Frank the service of making him realize that neither he nor his father is basically different from other human beings. He will recognize that he has the same potentiality as others for being an upright person.
