Recreation areas that appear to be adequate In 1964 will be entirely inadequate by 1964, in tact, our present recreational fa cilities in the National Forests have already begun to show the fact that they are Inadequate to accom modate the demands placed upon them. The use of our State and National parks has Increased greatly and some of these areas, especially In California are begin ning to show signs of deteriora tion under the Impact of current use levels. Direct human use is a most im portant factor In the changing pat tern of land use within a region and the opportunity for outdoor recreation In natural environments is. one of the mainstays of the Important Tourist industry. Marsh land, woodland, lakes, rivers, mountains are all essential units in a successful program to meet the needs and requirements of a well balanced recreational pro gram. The expansion of some forms of outdoor recreational use is already becoming limited by the available facilities. Any community which looks in telligently to the future must rec ognize the demand for recreation al use of wild land areas and that the demand for recreational use of such land will expand under the combined effects of a greatly ex panding population. The increase in leisure time and Improvements in trsnsportatlon, with super high ways reschlng out from our moun tain areas to the centers of dense population are beckoning fingers to people to seek the freshness of the outdoors not everyone will spend their leisure time sitting In darkened rooms watching TV. The problem posed in this coming demand is one of balancing the de mands for a way of life with the essential needs of providing for a means of livelihood. The question foremost todsy Is whether we have the vision to recognise these fu ture demands of a great recrea tional industry or whether in our blindness we will let personal greed for Immediate use destroy a great potential that In the end will have to be rehabilitated at an exces sive cost to the recreational indus try. The callousness with which we destroy places of great value to Uie general recreational field is an amazing element of our present day civilisation. It la generally ac cepted that certain areas of super lative recreational and aesthetic values should be reserved from agricultural and Industrial use yet how often are we willing to concede these values if some agency or Individual proposed plans for developing them for some Immediate financial gain? Not all destruction, however, comes about from the desire of personal gain often destruction is 1 created merely for convenience and 1 a lack of appreciation of the latent values a place may present. Such destruction often comes through the development of highways now lor example right in our own back yard I can point to the careless indifference with which the Oregon Highway engineers destroyed the natural potential of Barclay Springs above Algoma. Here Is a most desirable wayside area that is essential as a unit in the enjoyment of our Upper Klamath Lake area. In fact Barclay Springs is one stopping spot on the high Rainier Beer is just little different. It task a little milder, a littlt smoother. Try Rainier and join the rest of ua who say "Hooray lor th difference!" Time xSg& jb- J J JS5S Wrl r&fe BUSINESS A A dTESi IES way that has always received a neavy recreational use from num erous fishermen and in - earlier days provided a picnic area and restful, stopping place. These fac tors were absolutely disregarded by me uregon nignway Department which did all It possibly could to destroy the potential that, was present there. Barclay Springs is an essential wayside stopping place, it is needed in our Klamath Hasln program let us nope the Highway. DeDart- ment will recognize the potential and restore it. Granted, it will take lime ana money to Drlng the area back into an attractive condition but such an expenditure with an eye to the future will be well worth tne cost. Not all destruction, likewise, s due to careless indifference or the tack 01 appreciation of human val. ues present. There are times de struction has been deliberately created Just to satisfy personal ego. 11 some one gets enjoyment in the area it needs to be wiped out. We find this rather queer quirk of thinking In many forest situations, in some instances the excuse is "If people stop there the place will become a danger spot for fire." In other instances It can be a deliberate act just to show some people-the owner's right to do Just as he please. Oh! Yesl We have examples of Just that right In our own country. Perhaps the best one that comes to my mind at the present time wos the pass at Quartz Mountain on the Lakeview Highway. As you drive over to Lakeview today you would little suspect that Quartz Pass was a favorite picnic area and efforts were made to. buy the spot for pub lie use' A lumberman's ego: "They can go to the Devil, it's mine." destroyed It needlessly.

The price: The headache of try ing to ease a new flow of oil into a world stream already dis tending Its banks. Where will the oil be sold? Will It lower prices at the corner service station? The dangers: 1. Arousing the resentment of Iran's Middle East neighbors, who may lose some of their own oil revenues in mak ing room for Iran's oil; 3. Drawing down the Ire of American Inde pendent oil companies whose out put already is cut back because of the over-supply of oil; and 3. Encouraging other countries to follow Iran's nationalization tac tics. American oilmen think they can work out a way. to pay the price painlessly and to avoid the dangers by taking It slow and easy. They contend that little Iranian oil will come to American shores domestic producers would clam or too loud If it did. Prices here would be affected little unless the world price structure cracked un der the strain. When Iran closed down Its English-owned oil industry three years ago, the world's oil supply was tight. And Iran, with 650.000 barrels a day capacity, was fur nishing six per cent of the total out put of the non-Communist world. Since then Its neighbors. Kuwait. Iraq and Saudi Arabia, have stepped uo their output to more than make up the difference. They are producing at a rate of V;t mil lion barrels a day. World demand has increased by one-fourth in the three years. But capacity to produce oil has In creased even more. Production has hsd to be cut back. There's no real need for Iran's oil now in the non Communist world. But Russia could use it. Russia and Its satellites have Increased their oil output by 36 per cent since pre-World War II days. But in the same IS years the Uni ted States alone has doubled its oil output, snd is estimated to have seven times the productive capa city of the Soviets. In wartime that would be all im portant, Russia's oil lack Is con sidered one of the best Insurances against Its starting World War III at this time. The American, English, French and Dutch oil companies that have banded together to peddle Iran's oil and oil products hope that the steadily rising world oil demand will ease their task. Demand is growing faster this year In other lands than in the United States, although this is still the major oil product user. Europe has built many refineries since the war and gets most of Its oil from Iran's Middle East neigh borsbetter than l!j million bar rels a day. Working slowly, the companies don't know his name. T'is the one and the same? Cordon ef Oregon of course. 4. Of all the Senators the weakest member. snow blm under In November, Be sure and remember Vote for Neubergar. PLAN!

HAL BOYLE HILL CITY, S.D. ifi How can a middle-aged woman who has lost her husband and reared ner cnua ren adjust to a world that sud- rfnlv xeema emntv? That was the problem that faced Mrs. Arthur Wermuth, moth er of MaJ. Art wermutn, me i mnu "one-man army of Bataan." She found the answer by turn ing her back on the busy social Ufa of Chicago and settling down in a cabin In this old small (pop. less than 600) mining town in me Black Hills. She lives alone wi'.n her a-year-old Dalmatian watch dog, "Sissy", and says she has found here a new peace and pur pose in life. 'Ever since I came nere. aiic said, "I have loved these hills so much that I could kiss tne grounu for the happiness they brought sitting: in the living room of her loa- home. Mrs. Wermuth, a viva cious, dark-eyed woman whose age is still her own secret, torn uie story of her life. "When I was In the third year in high sschool I had my appendix out," she recslled. "The surgeon had a son, who was also a doctor and helped him. T started hollering for Uie young doctor, and wouldn't let the old man take care of me. Before I left the hospital the son and I were engaged. "I guess he fell in love with my insides." said Mrs. Wermuth, laughing, then added quietly: "But for more than 24 years no woman ever had a finer husband. He was a good man." The young doctor became' a fa mous overworked surgeon. In 1925 his wife talked him into coming to the Black Hills on a fishing trip, and each year after that they returned. . "In Chicago he belonged to the people, and the city finally killed him," she said. "But out here he belonged only to me and here we found peace together." Widowed shortly before the war, Mrs. Wermuth spent nine years traveling about the country with her daughter, Talia, who had be come a professional dancer. They were tiring, anxious years. Her son had won fame by killing more than 100 Japanese single handed in patrol actions on Bataan before being taken prisoner. "For more than 3','a years 1 worried every night that they would kill him In prison camp," sne said. After the war she settled here with her daughter, who Is married to a businessman in nearby Custer. Her son is now In the Insurance business in Denver. "To this day we have never talked about the war," she re marked. "Some day, mother, I'll tell you about It,' he said, and some day, when he is ready, he will tell me. But It is over, and now he doesn't want even to hear about It. "So far he hasn't even looked at the scrapbook I collected about his heroism, but some time he will. I also still have the gavel used In the House of Representatives to declare war on Italy and Ger many. It was given to me by Rep. Sam Ray burn of Texas. He said the gavel used to declare war on Japan had been stolen." The shelves of her four-room cabin are crowded with souvenirs of her travels, nie shelf above the fireplace holds the bronzed first baby shoes of her two child renand the skull of a gorilla, given to her in Seattle. Mrs. Wermuth now is a familiar figure In the Black Hills, and held in high affection for her acts of kindness. Even the crustiest old prospector waves as she wheels by on a trout fishing trip. "No, I don't miss the city social life I used to know," she said. "Here they havd something much better than society a nelghborli- contracting to produce and market Iran's oil, plan full production from its wells about 1957, and ex pect to get the refinery at Abada turning out 300.000 barrels of pet roleum nrnriur.t & riav hnllt 4h same time.
