Cave Junction May
Get Federal Funds
Cave Junction The citv
council of Cave Junction has
initiated a move to get federal
aid to finance installation of
a city sewer system.
At a recent special meeting,
the council took necessary
steps to begin proceedings de
signed to get a federal grant
under the accelerated public
works program.
The program would author
ize a federal grant of up tu
50 per cent of the cost of in
stalling a sewer system. The
balance would have to be met
by the city.
Construction will have to
be started by June. J9fl
order to fulfill part of the fed
eral grant requirements, coua
cilmen noted.
The council agreed that a
sewer system is greatly need
ed in Cave Junction. Members
also felt that construction at
a sewer system would help
relieve the local unemploy
ment situation.

OPEN TONIGHT!
Rachel Carson, in her new
book "Silent Spring," offers
the grim suggestion that in
our copious use of chemical
sprays to get rid of the insect
and weed pests that annoy us
we are setting up a vicious
circle that in the end may
do us in.
Being an Easterner, she
uses as an example the Dutch
elm disease that before a
spray was found that would
check it destroyed so many of
the lovely elm trees in New
England.
She says:
"We spray to kill the beetle
that spreads the Dutch elm
disease, and the poison lingers
to get into the earthworms in
the ground. Then the robins
eat the earthworms and the
poison, if it does not kill the
birds outright, ends by mak
ing them sterile."

ty tissues of men and wom
enand the result that looms
in the distance is a new men
ace to man himself.
The mere thought of it
gives one the shivers.

HENCE the SILENT spring.
There are no birds to
make it vocal with their chat
ter and their song. We run the
risk, she apparently thinks,
of getting into the fix of the
town of Killingsworth, de
scribed by Longfellow in his
Talcs of a Wayside Inn. The
Killingsworth villagers killed
off the birds because they
were eating the crops. But
they couldn't stand the silence
of a world without birds, so
they went out to neighboring
villages and bought more
birds to replace those they
had slaughtered.
And so the next sum
mer "A new heaven bent over a
new earth
"Amid the sunny farms of
Killingsworth."

Miss Carson goes on
It's worse in these modern
days. These "noxious chemi
cals" that we use to get rid
of the pests become more and
more concentrated as they
pass through vegetable food
stuffs and animal flesh to

WHAT to do about it?
Must we go back to the
days, before these modern
chemical sprays were invent
ed, when our ancestors sim
ply grinned and bore it?
When they put up with the
flies that they couldn't shoo
out and KEEP OUT with
screens? Must we let the
chinch bugs eat up our corn
and the boll weevils destroy
our cotton?
Must we stand by white
the potato bugs polish off our
potatoes?

More than 53,000 homes

ures, Eldon Bust, nirector of
American Tcd Cross recovery
operation, said the tallies in
dicate that "the Red Cross
job is just beginning."
"Although insurance cover

ISS Carson who, as read-
"The Sea Around Us" will re
call, is a competent biologist
has some alternative solu
tions. She points out that in Cali
fornia the harmful Klamath
weed stubbornly resisted all
attempts to control it by
spraying. Biological control,
she says, was established by
importing two species of bee
tles from France. These
beetles feed only on the Kla
math weed and reproduce on
ly upon it.
She adds: "As a result o
establishment of a BALANCE
between the imported beetles
and the Klamath weed, the
range lands of California
have been practically purged
of a plant that had been par
ticularly ruinous to the live
stock population."
SHE cites the Japanese bee
tle infestation in the
northeastern part of the U.S.
It was finally brought under
control, she says, not by appli
cation of sprays but by the
importation of a parasitic
wasp from Korea and China.
This wasp lays its eggs on Ja
panese beetle grubs in the
soil. Hatching on the beetle
grubs, the young wasps feed
on them and destroy them.
WHETHER Miss Carson Is
right or wrong is over
the heads of us unscientific
householders and back yard
gardeners, but she certainly
strikes a responsive chord in
our memories when she says:
"Many of the sprays in com
mon use kill off the weaker
insects a n d the survivors
BREED A HARDIER STRAIN
which is IMMUNE to future
spraying."
A lot of us stand ready to
testify that the longer and the
harder we spray to keep the
old bugs under control this
year, the longer and the hard
er we'll have to spray next
year to keep down the newer
and tougher bugs that come
along.
Portland Despite increased
cutting on public forest lands,
Oregon's 1961 log production
sagged to its lowest point
since 1949, according to a for
est survey report released by
the Pacific Northwest Forest
and Range Experiment sta
tion. Portland.
The drop in total log pro
duction was caused almost en
tirely by the reduced cut on
private lands, it was noted.
Private cut dropped more
than one billion board feet be
low the 1960 level to its low
est point in 20 years.
The 1961 cut of 7.4 billion
board feet was one billion
board feet less than in 1960
and I'i billion feet less than
n 1959, the most recent peak
year.
The survey reports that the
only other reduction from the
1960 cut was 35 million board
feet less on Indian lands.
National forest production
rose 129 million Board icei
over the 1960 cut to a level
second only to the all lime
national forest high of 19o.
The national forests' propor
tion of the total production
last year was 33 per cent, the
highest ever, compared to
27.6 per cent In 1960. Pro
duction increased 3.7 per cent
on bureau ol land manage
ment lands and 4.1 per cent
on state lands, compared with
1960. These increases totaled
39 million board feet.
In Jackson county, 424,-
726.000 board feet were har
vested during the year and
140.491.000 board feet in
Josephine county.
