BOARD SLATES
STUDY OF LAND
E
" The state board of forestry Is
'lending representatives to Klam
ith Fails to study the possibili
ties of the state acquiring land
owned by Shevlin-Hixon, lumber
company at Bend, which is in
volved in a proposed land ex
change to the federal forest serv
ice. If the state should acquire
the land, it would become a state
forest, rather than a part of the
national forest as is proposed in
Ihe land exchange.
County Judge U. E. Reeder
and District Attorney Clarence
A. Humble discussed the matter
in Salem last week with the for
estry board and Governor Earl
Snell, , They said Monday that
the state officials were much in
terested in the matter, which
has been widely discussed since
the county courts of Klamath
and Lake counties filed protests
against the federal forest-Shev-lin
land exchange.
: The state forestry men who
come here will consider the pos
sibility of blocking up the Shevlin-Hixon
land as a state forest.
The Shevlin ownership is now
intermingled with federal hold
ings. If the state plans should go
through, the county courts hope
that the forest service will sell
timber to Shevlin-Hixon instead
of taking land for it, and out of
the cash transaction, the coun
ties would get their share of the
25- per cent of the stumpage
value.

Wednesday aft

of the squad at

shortened to enable those con
tributing to go. -All those stu
dents who do not attend the
game will remain in their sixth
period class until 4 o'clock.
At a joint meeting of the two
school boards there was consid
erable difference of opinion as
to whether or not there should
be a spring vacation this year.
After much discussion a vote
was finally held, and by a mar
gin of one vote the answer was
"no." This decision was made
so that school could be let out
one week earlier in the spring.
Rather than June 1, school will
be out on May 25. Plans for the
seniors have not been made as
yet.
The student council held its
last meeting with last semes
ter's representatives today to
further discuss the proposed
constitutional amendment re
garding the awarding of letters
in athletics.

Lack of white snowsuits

as used in cotton packers' bags,
is fashioned into parkas and
pants by the soldiers and their

Other outfits not so lucky have
had to manage with what they
could scrounge from civilians,
who in some cases have contri
