The Family Council
Fdltnr'a note: The Family Council mnalsts of a Judte. a
ph chlatrlil. three clergymen, three editors and a wumtrn's edltur.
Kach article la a summary of a family disagreement presented to the
Council. The Council dealt with problems, major and minor,
encountered by guidance counselors and social workers. Edited by
by Mrs. Alma Denny (Copyright by ftenert! reaturea Corp.)
Frank G. - He has run out
of excuses for not accom
panying me on my trip.
Clarence A. - I m perfectly
content slaying put. Why keep
running off?
Frank G. - Clarence and I
taught school together for 30
years. I retired two years ago,
and now he has followed suit.
The following report of a tour of the natural regions
of Oregon was prepared and submitted by Mrs. Ted Conway.
About the middle of August 14 college students, under
the direction of Dr. Franklin Sturges, left Southern Oregon
college for an experiment In living and observing in the
field of the natural phenomena of Oregon.
When I say experiment in living, I refer to the group pro
cess wherein we purchased our food, did the cooking, pitched
camp each night, worked in the field trapping a few wild
BiimiHis wnicn were later carelully stuffed.
We observed birds, and collected specimens of all forms
of plant and animal life and then took them to camp for
identification. Sometimes this was quite a chore, but it
was fascinating ana rewarding process.
We spent time in all the geologic Drovlncos nf Orernn
except the Wallowas, which would have required another
wee, yve camped in eignt different sites, including the
coastal strip and range, the Willammetto valley, the Cascade
range, the Deschutes-Umatilla plateu, the Blue mountains
and Malheur Wildlife refuge. We made comparisons and
observations as to plants, trees, animals, birds, and geologic
structure with places we'd visited previously.
We often found the same bird in widely varying climate,
as the golden crowned kinglet on the coast, and again in the
high mountain areas; the hermit thrush on the coast and
again high up on the slopes of Mt. Hood. We found this
true of plants too and came to the conclusion that like
certain people, adjust and adapt themselves better than
others.
Again we found that certain birds as the gray jay and
Clark's nutcracker are indicative of alpine and sub-alpine
areas, and are found in no other place. Silver and apline
fir grow only at the very high elevations. We noted that each
form of plant and animal life, almost without exception, is
dependent on some other form of life for its existence.
We found fossils In the John Day area that remind one
of those found on the hillsides toward Siskiyou summit,
and noted that all of Oregon, with the execplion of the
Wallowas and the Slsklyous was once under a shallow inland
sea. Such cluea give much Information as to the prehistoric
era in Oregon.
We noted that some trees grow much like a hlankel over
a region or like nelgnt through many miles and formations
apart. Location as well as height of mountain peaks help
regulate the fall of moisture over our state. The Steen
mountains which are 9,370 feet high, because of location, arc
really quite dry, since other mountain ranges intervene be
tween them and the ocean, and most of the moisture is
milked from the clouds before it gets to them.
We found the Malheur refuge extremely interesting. It
performs a function for sportsman and farmer alike, in what
attempts to "arrest" the wild life migrations by providing
plenty of food and water so that the farmers in the San
Joaquin valley can have a chance to harvest their rice crops
before the birds descend In great numbers.
So, it gives the sportsman a chance to hunt, and gives
the farmer some help and when you consider dial mid
October finds the greatest concentration of birds in the
Pacific Flyway, some six millions birds delaying them for
even a few weeks or days Is no small item.
We spent part of three days here, making the trip to
the top of the Steens, accompanied by John Scharf, the
manager of the refuge, who has been on this field for '11
years, and who is "loaded" with the monst interesting in
formationthe kind no naturalist ever has a chance to put
on paper.
If you have never been lo the top of these open books
of geology, never stood at the head of some of the giant
cirqtiPS, and pondered the mighty forces that have carved it
beautifully and with such wondrous coloring, you have
missed a rare and inspiring sight.
We located deer browsing far down In the t-ativons he
low, watched the changing colors of the rocks ns the shadows
fell across them, listened to the vast quietness of this top
of the world, and came away awed and promising ourselves
we'd return.
We had several "bird watchers" along and we hurt fun.
Maybe we even converted a few others lo ihis vorv relaxing
and satisfying hobby. As official recorder. 1 have no lalhed
for a total, but am sine we saw over a hundred varieties,
though I added only five new ones to niv life list. We wore
fortunate to see the white-faced ibis, which comes otlen to
mainour in summer, but winters near Fresno We saw A
lean bittern, chukars. gulden eagles, sandhill cranes,
others not common in our ana.

Aerial Survey of
Blowdown Timber
To Be Completed
Portland An aerial survey
of blowdown timber left in
the wake of the Columbus
day storm will be completed
this week end, weather per
mitting, according to J. Her
bert Stone, regional forester,
U. S. Forest service, Portland.
The cooperative survey will
cover approximately eight
million acres of timberlands
in western Washington and
western and southern Oregon
not already surveyed for
blowdown. Lands involved
are state, private, and federal
(primarily national forest and
bureau of land management).
The Forest service, at the
request of the Timber Dis
aster committee of the North
west Forest Pest Action coun
cil, is coordinating all survey
information and making the
supplemental aerial surveys
as needed to give coverage of
an area totaling 22V: million
acres. The aerial project will
fill the gaps in information
already furnished by the state
foresters of Oregon and Wash
ington, private industry, Na
tional forests, and BLM dis
tricts affected by the storm.
Provide General Map
Completed surveys will
show the estimated volume of
timber blowdown and will
provide a general map of the
windfall damage by light,
moderate, and heavy classifi
cations. The aerial survey in
volves sketch mapping of
blowdown areas.
Survey data will help point
out problem areas and deter
mine salvage goals, Stone
said. Quick salvage is impor
tant to prevent outbreaks of
insects, primarily the Douglas-fir
beetle. It is also im
portant to prevent loss
through decay and to reduce
the fire hazard. The data also
will be used as guides in
determining need for re-
inventories of timber stands,
probable effect on allowable
cuts, and so forth.
Cight aerial observers and
four aircraft are involved in
the supplemental survey. Five
observers are from four west
ern regions of the Forest serv
ice, one from the BLM, and
one each from the stales of
Oregon and Washington. The
men have been flying every
day that visibility would
permit.
Non-Suit Motion

the proceedings days, It was like a new place seen for the
first time.
This whole trip was fun, but we worked. A splendid way

Interesting birds, if one would search for them
there was a western grebe and two large flocks i
and white fronted gersc on Hoover lake
On Oct. 6 I got some color slides of black -bellied plover
at the Lower Klamath Lake Wildlife refuge. Approximately
Ihe same date, Mrs. Ray Hrigus and Mrs Ted fomvay re
ported seeing a solitary sandpiper and a white lumped .ind-
piper at the same refuge. Holh of these birds are extremely
rare and only occassmnally reported. Also at the refuge
during this period were ducks and geese in numbers beyond
my ability to estimate.
Tree swallows were on the Rogue Ocl 13. This is the
final sighting for this year. On Oct. II) I saw a greater
yellow-legs, a long-billed dowikher, and a flock of western
sandpipers at Hoover lake, ll is doubtful if any more o
these birds will be lghled before spring migration.
About Oct. 20 the Oregon juncos and the bushiils re
turned to the feeders in my garden. On Ocl 7 a black-capped
chickadee fed from Hie suet feeder Another migration
straggler, an immature Mullock's oriole visited the suet
feeder on Oct. 29.
The most cheering news of October was (he relurn of
western bluebirds lo Ihe slopes of Dead Indian rd , Switzer
land and Roxy Ann. I hope these birds will restiiblish a blue-
bird colony in the valley. In checking over Ihe fall migra-
lion, the flocks of swallows, Savannah sparrows, and lark ;
sparrows were noticeably larger lhan the former years. How
ever, the return of the western bluebird was the outstanding
birding jtvent. w
Friday morning Portland
Attorneys Thomas Curran and
Robert Hawkins, representing
Mrs. Hamcrsley. made a mo
tion to impeach their own
This ham- V I ' '"'i'1-- was
i, done due lo an apparent con-
lliel between Ins tcslimonv
and a written report which
he had submitted earlier. Soon
aller thai ihe non-suit was
declared.
We're about in the same boat
financially and family-wise,
with no dependents. I'm a
bachelor and he's a widower
with a married son.
I love to travel and for
years I've been after Clarence
lo come along. 1 succeeded
about ten years ago, getting
him to Gettysburg and Wash
ington during our Easter vaca
tion. Ever since, his excuse
has been his job, his refresher
courses or a new grandchild to
visit. But now that he's re
tired there's no good reason
for him to remain such a stick-in-the-mud.
I'm planning a freighter
trip to South America in Feb
ruary and I'm counting on his
company.
Clarence A. - What's wrong
with staying home? Frank
looks at me as if there's some
thing wrong with me for en
joying my own block, my own
neighborhood and my own
city. Now that my time is my
own, I'd like to meander and
browse through the streets
nearby. I've always raced
through on errands or en
route to somewhere else, and
now I can look in shop win
dows, chat, watch the repair
man and builders at work.
I find travel exhausting.
And the beauty spots of the
world look better in the
movies than face - to - face.
Washington was full of hawk
ers and salesmen at every
turn, I used to enjoy a smooth
train ride more than any other
form of transportation, but the
railroads seem more interested
in freight than in people. I
take a train to visit my son,
but the long walks at the
depot, carrying heavy bags,
make my trips few.
The Council: Better give up,
Frank. The Survey Research
Center of the University of
Michigan has just released
some findings on travel and
report that 1 out of every 10
Americans, given a choice,
prefers to stay home. Just
your luck to have your pal,
Clarence, be one of those.
There are many reasons
why people who want to
travel can't do so. The above
survey listed them as Expense,
Poor Health, Old Age, Job
Responsibilities, Children,
Non-job Responsibilities. Evi
dently, none of these are det
erring Clarence, even though
at some time he has undoubt
edly invoked some of them as
his excuse for turning Frank
down.
How, then, understand Clar
ence - a man who can travel
and won't? We'll assume he's
not ducking Frank's company,
because they've been close
friends for years and arc
probably together a great deal
when Frank's in the home
port. Is it laziness, inertia,
tightwaddery? We doubt it.
Clarence seems to be the type
who sees travel as a form of
escape, a symptom of failure
to adjust at home. By staying
put he's waging a campaign
to proclaim that he is content
with the slrect where ' he
lives. Add to that his other
interests, plus his distress over
Ihe bumps and bruises of
travel, plus his smug conclu
sion that places look better in !
the movies, and Clarence re
mains well-nigh unbudgable.
Frank had better dig up
another prospect for that
South America jaunt. But
maybe we can quicken Clar
ence's interest in another
short whirl with his long-time
side kick by answering his
objections in a way to make
him question them a bit. Ex
cessive travel may have neu
rotic overtones, but most trips
are taken by people who want
to grow, learn and roach out
for a variety of experiences. I
They're nol running from, bul
running to something. And
though getting (here thy aulo, '
bus, train, ship or plane) may
not always be half the fun it's
crocked up to be, staving
home isn't always so hot cith
er. As to movies being a sub
stitute for the real thing.
Clarence, did a picture postJ
card of a giant Sequoia tree

or give you goose pimples'.'
