A debate on the wilderness area bill Friday night In the Red Cross building covered viewpoints of the lumber In dustry, the Izaak Walton league and of the naturalist and scientist. . The debate was originally scheduled for a joint meeting of the league and the Siskiyou chapter of the Society of American Foresters. However, comparatively v few league members attended. Dr. Frank Sturgess, biology instructor at Southern Ore gon college, ; presented new reasons tor preservation of wilderness areas. Natural areas are needed to study an imal and insect life, plant dis ease problems and the natural balance of wildlife, he argued. Naturalist's Viewpoint Approaching the problem from the naturalists view point, Dr. Sturgess emphasiz ed "recreation - a rekindling of the human spirits." .. People can gain from quality of experience provid ed by wilderness areas. They must be preserved in their complete natural state, he em phasized. The rumble of log ging tractors in a wooded area does not provide a quality of experience to the man -who wants to get away from the pressure of population num- THE RIGHT KIND OF A HOME LOAN IS AS IMPORTANT AS THE RIGHT KIND OF A HOME and refinancing of Conventional Loans . , : for the building or buying of homat "old fashioned" mortgages.

Ashland Branch 337 East Main, Ashland Home Off ice 2 East Main, Medford bers and study nature, Dr. Sturgess argued. ' "Why do certain animals live where they do? How does the regeneration of pocket gophers affect forest trees? How can Oregon Junko birds be stopped from eating pounds of . Douglas fir, seed? What happens when trees cover grass land formerly inhabited by voracious meadow mice? "These are all questions which can only be studied in wilderness areas. : and they may be vital to the forest in. dustry," the professor pointed out.. Scenic Values' Considerable emphasis . is given scenic values of wilder ness areas, but such areas are even more vital .to scientific research, and should be set aside with that purpose in mind, the SOC professor urged. Calvin Smith, local forester with' the Industrial Forestry association, explained that the forest industry does not ob ject to the philosophy1 of the wilderness area concept, but does oppose Senate Bill 174- the wilderness bill. bucn areas would cover 100,000 acres or more with boundaries established by the secretary of agriculture. Wild areas would cover from 5,000 to 100,000 acres with boundar ies established by the chief of the U.S. forest service, Primitive areas would be set aside for future study, and would cover' about 8 million acres. In Wilderness System This land would come un der the wilderness system im mediately if the bill is passed, Smith explained.' Fifteen years would be allowed to make boundary changes. The President could recommend boundary alterations to - the Congress. If the Congress does not act, the original wilder ness boundaries are automat ically set. r Smith also criticized the "vague language" tf the bill, rne mh provides that any private land within thhe boundaries of the wilderness system could be acquired iwuaerness area means no landing of aircraft, no motor boats, no cars, no mechanized equipment of any kind, no grazing, no mining or pros pecting. Some amendments have been made to the original bill, but these do not change it mucn, the forester added. Both Smith and Glen Duy- sen, of Kogap Industries, urg ed that further consideration of the bill await the report of tne National outdoor Recrea tion Resources Research com mittee. The report from this committee headed by Law rence Rockefeller is due next spring, Duysen pointed out. Congress has allocated $214 million to the University of California for study of the ef fect of wilderness area. To push the bill through before the report would be a misuse of tax money, Smith said. Supporters on Committee Duysen pointed out-, that many wilderness bill support ers are on the committee. This Includes Sen. Clinton B. An derson (D-N.M.), author of the bill and a representative of the Izaak Walton league, he said. The commission report pro vides for an Inventory of the commercial . timber within proposed wilderness areas, Duysen said. It is estimated 32 per cent of the proposed wilderness areas contain com mercial timber lands., This would cover an estimated 04 billion board feet of lumber or the equivalent of 14,500,000 hours of employment. Henry DeVoss, Ixaak Wal- ton league member, said it is difficult to compare an atti tude of people who use wil derness areas with board feet and houses constructed from lumber. Establishment of wilderness areas implies control of the lumber industry and people naturally resist controls, he said. ; Since Theodore Roose velt created his conservation program, the lumber indus try has protested that there is no need for wilderness areas, DeVoss argued. Calvin Smith Speaks At Active Meeting Calvin Smith, forester with the Industrial Forestry asso ciation, talked on the devel opment of forest management and tree farming in Southern Oregon as guest speaker be fore the Medford Active 2030 club recently. . . Slides 'showed some of the areas where tree farming is being developed in this area. A question and answer period followed.
