MEDFORD, OREGON ethodsof Explaining Role Of Lumber Industry Reviewed New methods of explaining the role ol the lumber indus try in the locul ecenomy to the general public and an ex panded publicity program were discussed here this week at a meeting ol the public re lations committee of the Southern Oregon Conserva tion and Tree Farm associa tion. Don Slathos, Slathos Insur ance, Medford, and Mrs. Lee Hoag, real estate saleslady, co-chairman of the committee, presented plans for a greatly accelerated program of public ity and promotion based on reassignment of specific areas of interest to individual subcommittees. representatives on the com mittee were preparation of lists of qualified speakers for valley clubs seeking programs oriented to lumber; organiza tion of tours of lumber mills for tourists to be coordinated with the tourist committee of the chamber of commerce; publication of reliable statis tical information on the lum ber industry; in a readable, usable booklet and accelera tion of the wood promotion progress through public rec ognition of firms, architects and individuals who choose wood over other materials in local construction. .

To mako matters worse, he mumbled so that only one word out of three were intelligible. Nevertheless, when he TWO MONTHS completed nis tale, sir qq today Alec laughed long and I MET loud. He explained later, '" "I always do. If you don t laugh, the bloody bores usually toll the story all over again." . ' An after-dinner speaker had droned on endlessly. "After partaking of this evening'! superb repast," he continued, "I feel that If I had had one single bite more, I would be unable to aay a word." From the rear end of the room came an order to the waiter, "Bring him a sandwich quick!" Asked why he had spent the past thirty days in Jail, a young delinquent explained, "All I did was borrow a little money." "Since when do they Jail people for borrowing money?" jeered a new acquaintance. "They do in some cases," said the delin quent "Mine, for example. I had to knock & man down four times before he agreed to lend it to me." O IMS, by Bennett Cart. Distributed by King Future Syndicate Public Appearances Declared Costly for Nation's Astronauts New York-IUPil- Astronaut L. Cordon Cooper, describing the public appearances expect ed of the space team, says he and his fellows are being used "as a kind of a shot in the arm to the nation." in an article published in the current Issue ol Rcdbook magazine. Cooper said the public appearances cost more than expense money allowed by the government and arc more bothersome than the physical hazards of space mgiu. "The things that really bother me," Cooper said, "and I suspect, bother the other astronauts as well-have noth ing to do with the physical hazards of flight." Public Appearances "Most of our travel Is not strictly related to actual space program goals. A big part of our job is to make public ap pearances, give press confer ences and in general help to dispel the rather gloomy feel ings that many people have 'bout America's so-called apace race." Cooper said that in 1961 he spent 233 days away from home, on orders. "In order to he with mv family as much as nmnlhlr " Cooper said, "I often take tnem with me when I know I'm going to be in one place for a few davs. Thin moan, flu. lng them there in my private piane, at my own expense." Allotment mall '. As to expense 'money al lotted by the government, Cooper said that the astro nauts got only SO a day when traveling and $12 a day when away from their base at Lang- ley Held. "Ask- any businessman whether he can travel, cat in restaurants and stay at hotels on that. We've all spent a good deal of our own money on trips connected with the pro gram. There s Just no way around it " INDOOR ARCHERY New York ,-'il'Hl.-' Indoor! archery Is ' gaining in popu larity. Archery centers have been built or arc planned in a dozen states.

Area news, media for news coverage of industry events. He noted that in spite of this there were still too many in the community who were un aware of the significant con tribution in Jobs, taxes, prod uct s, services and payrolls generated by the multi-million dollar forest products in dustry. . : Chief target of the program, he added, should be to reach I this part of the public, plus the thousands of new arrivals to the area. The latter group comprises the bulk of the area popula tion and having secured a job or business or profession far removed from the lumber in dustry fail to realize that their economic support .probably originated directly or indirect ly in the forest products in dustry or dependent services, Jamison noted. . ' Directed to Young People. Another important part of the expanded educational ef forts should be directed to the young people, ' it was- ex plained, in order that 'they' appreciate more fully the for est heritage of the area, the strides being taken by private tree farmers to perpetuate timber resources and the un limited forest recreational benefits which accrue to them as a result of a free enter prise system of sustained yield harvest. Stathos, a laymcmbcr of the committee, noted that the addition of men and women outside of the industry to the public relations committee of the lumber group was in it self an important step for ward in recognizing the need for understanding and assist ance in informing the public concerning one of this areas most important economic as set, the forest products indus try. . Industry members of the committee include Jerry Mc- Crew, Charles Goodwin, Bud Nutting, Glan Duysen, For est Bigger, Francis Cheney and Darrcll Davis, president of SOCTFA. Due for immediate atten tion will be a stepped up pub licity campaign aimed at for est fire prevention, Stathos said, a vital part of the com mittee's responsibility in pub lic education. Prospects of an early fire season call for quick action, he said.
