' Whether admitted or not, fool ball teama need publicity a they need a good acatback or aiaaning tarkle. Yet Iff Incredible Just how little some ot the achool will do to make visiting newsmen (eel at home. Naturally. I cant aay anything ot schools that I didn't hare oc casion to visit this season. I apeak specifi cally of Oranu -Pass, Bend and La Grande. I was the lone writing rep resents tlve from The Her ald and Neva when the Pell cans played the three mention ed schools. Hl'RD At the Grants Pass game. I al most had to tight to get a seat In a makeshift press box built right in the middle of the grandstand. At the Bend game, despite vocif arous arguments, I had to work the game from the stands. At La Grande I was forced to re cord the game from the field, romp ing up and down the sidelines. I remember the latter experience clearly as the game was played Just lest Friday night. Lyle Rlggs, La Grande's principal, was adamant about the whole matter and insist ed that I should "have notified him ahead ot time" despite the fact that the press box had little more room than a telephone booth. rW n n builtDSraiillgS, - Wi fate IFiglift Fr IFoiraals COMEBACK Promoter Mock Li I lord is pushing plans to have Jock "Ginger" Snapp show in the armory ring in his first comebock fight. His opponent would be Frankie Cimbel, who beat Snapp sev eral months ago in a rousing tiff. OSAA Rlggs started spouting OSAA (Oregon Schools Athletic associa tion) rules to me. I failed to aee what bearing OSAA rules had on the working press. The stipulations set down by the east athletic fathers govern the pi. ran, yea, and the coaches and the principals, t al, but what in hem ren's name can rules handed down by this association hare to do with the working press out to do the beet Job they can? m fact. Rlggs attitude bordered en supercilious when he Intimated that our photographer eouldnt Work the game from the field, In all three Instance the press loss were crowded to the hilt with radio and public address workers, the radio, true, needs a minimum erf throe men the announcer and two spotters to do the game. Bat why does public address need three? In the first place, a home town P. A. man should not need a spotter for his own team. He should know them weU enough. And spotters could be situated to point out players (or both radio and pubtte address. If I had brought with me a stat istician, spotters and a whole crew, the whole asinine affair would have made some sense. But anytime achool officials cannot edge in )ust NX newsman from the opposing camp, they should not expect co oper bon in return from the prase. Orctiids tTKUHS . Contrariwise, Td like to take this Opportunity to commend officials at Klamath Union high school. Visiting newsmen always have a eat In the press box, the only con venient place from which to work. When I Insisted on staying m the press box at Bend, a character In charge whose name I forget now, hinted .that If I didn't leave he'd have to call the police. It's true that, In many case, press facilities are Inadequate and poor Bet It seems to me that In these Cars of upswing on news and radio coverage. It behoove school offi cials to build added faculties. And, until such a time aa this Is done, they should make sure that the visiting newspaper Is allowed at least one representative in the press box. I, for one, hope that this woeful condition doesn't exist next year. In the meantime, visiting scribes will be accommodated at Modoc field so that they can do a worthy job ot sports reporting for their papers. Jack Flood Cools Hawkins SEATTLE, Nov. 33 (flv-Seattle's sepia socker, rugged Jack Flood, claimed the Pacific Northwest heavyweight fight erown today after a four-round technical knock out win last night over Tacoma'i Boy Hawkins.

Pliny, s Roman philosopher, admonlrhed his fellow cltlsens. The trees and the forests are the most valuable gifts with which Nature has favored mankind: therefore honor and cherish them. Eighteen hundred year have passed yet Pliny's admonition i as timely today as It was back In the ancient days of Rome. As we look backward over history we can see how little has man taken Pliny's admonition to heart. No doubt even before the time ot Pliny there were philosophers who viewed with misgivings man's reck less use of hi resources and since Pliny's time there have been many voices raised In warning but seldom heeded. People the world over Just Uke we In the Klamath basin have taken forest for granted because for a time they teem boundless end give a false sense of security; in that yearly increasing production goals may appear at the moment to be a stable economy. The conservation ists are forester who sounded a warning note were dismissed in the public mind a being merely mal content reactionary obstructionist. When the forest eventually fall to produce and the mill begin to shut down then actual concern be gin to sweep thru the community and people attempt to seek a simple solution to their problem. The simple solution for the simple problem al ways ha appeal but eventually we discover that the problems of the forest are far from simple. In the early 1840's the Klamath basin waa vary proud of it record of lumber production and there was considerable boasting of our powers at turning forests into lumber. There were a few people who tried to point out that we were cutting more than our annual Increase and that pro duction would eventually fall unless steps were token to bring production into line with timber growth. Business was good and so wt rushed to liquidate our resource a fast as possible. A roll-call of tha years during the first hair of the decade 1 Interesting.

In Just half a decade we produced 3.834.000.000 feet of lumber which I an astounding figure for such a small area. Few people can realize Just what J .834 .000 .000 board feet of lumber actually amounts to but If we load it Into box car to make Up a tingle train, that train would have extended from Klamath Fall to Los Angeles and then eastward to somewhere in the vicinity of Yuma, Aril. It was a great period while It lasted. We borrowed from the future to set the record. Hardly could it be said that we had token Pliny's admonition about the forest to heart.
