PAGE TEN HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON V Xutnint 10, 194S Boy-Power Trained To Fight Fires in Woods, Build Roads Entering Its second year Is a program utilizing boy-power in the woods, constructing roads, repairing telephone lines, and zcrving as fire fighters. The boys, between 18 and 18 years of age, began training in January at three high schools In the county, Henley, Bonanza and Klamath Union. Their train ing was directed by. Don Nor lin, now in charge of the camps at which the boys are working. For their school work, the boys received half a credit and lots of constructive ideas. Practice Idaaa - They're putting their ideas into practice now. One group is at Rodeo springs, near Bly, one at Penny springs on the Greensprings highway, and oth ers with the forestry service or with the national park service. So far this year the boys have had to fight no bad fires, and no grass fires, although last year they fought several grass fires, Charles Ogle, of the Klam ath Forest Protective associa tion said. Build Towtr At the Rodeo springs camp, the boys have completed about 18 miles of telephone lines, constructed a lookout tower on Rodeo buttc, and built a road to the summit. - Penny springs campers have conditioned abandoned railroad grades for use as fire breaks and roads, have repaired tele phone lines and have done other road work. Some of the campers are act ing as relief lookout in both camps to "spell" the regulars. Work 40 Hours The boys work 40 hours a week, and have one day off per fcreek. Before the closure of the forests, they enjoyed fishing and other types of recreation in the woods, but the closure plays no favorites, and the boys, part ly responsible for keeping the woods safe, are not allowed any privileges denied the average person. , Postcard Prompts Lane Pamphlet D ANBURY, Conn..
