A GUARDIAN OF THE SKIES, this F-86D type all-weather radar equipped jet interceptor is
expocted to be the type the U.S. Air Force will station at the Klamath Falls jet interceptor
base whn the construction is completed and the base is fully manned some time late in 1956.
The F-86D is manufactured by the North American Aircraft Co. and is powered by a General
Electric afterburning J-47 type jet engine. The aircraft pictured above is firing its rockets
which are carried in a carrier that it extended from the bottom of the fuselage for the

State Forestry Department
Reports A Very Good Year
By PAUL W. HARVEY JR.
BALEM I Oregon's state
foresters feel they've had a good
year.
Fire losses were low. They made
good progress against bugs. They
continued to make progress in
creating a new (orest on the thrice
ravaged Tillamook Burn.
And they found out that Oregon,
the leading state in lumber pro
duction, has a lot more standing
timber than had been believed.
The State Forestry Department
got a new boss during the year.
Dwight L. Phlpps, deputy state
forester, was promoted to head the

"I understand the doctors have
been told to give Salk vaccinations
only to children live to nine years
old until all of that age have' had
the shots. I am the mother of a
child of three. Suppose there is
not enough vaccine this year to go
round. Does this mean my three-
year-old may have to go through
another polio season next year
without protection?"
It Is understandable that ques
tions like this arise in the minds
of anxious parents. But this moth
er would do well, I think, to stop
"supposing" .herself Into a state
of worry over the present priori
ties applying to the Salk vaccine.
In the first place. It now ap
pears likely that enough vaccine
will be available by next spring,
and possibly sooner, for all Ameri
can children. The U.S. Surgeon
General, Dr. Leonard A. Schecle.
whose office has charge of the
release of vaccine, believes there
will be enough to vaccinate all
under 20 years old.
When that part of the polio vac
cination program financed by the
March of Dimes is completed
two shots for children in the first
and second grades of school
physicians will have before them
a voluntary plan suggested by the
U.S. Public Health Service which
will list recommended priorities by
age-group for administration of the
vaccine.
In this 11st, five to nine-year-
olds will come first, because ex
perience shows that this group
sutlers the highest rate of paraly
tic polio. The American Medical
Association already has asked its
members to observe this priority.
As long as the vaccine remains
in short supply, additions to the list
are possible. In point of polio in
cidence, the age-group from one
to live years is second highest.
From nine years on, the percent
age of Incidence shows a down
ward trend.
Parents whose children todav
must wait their turn for the Salk
vacclno should bear In mind that
there Is a good reason for these
priorities, that they are grounded
In good sense and that If and
W'hen good sense dictates changes
in the schedule, these changes will
be made.
Some concern about priorities on
the vnccine Is natural, but we par
ents must concern ourselves wlih
anolher side of the polio story, too.
The National Foundation Is cur
rently warning everyone that "pol
io isn't licked yet."
They are right. Even after the
goal of universal vaccination Is
realized, some years hence, polio
will not have been licked until
three other aims are accomplished:
First, until funds are assured
for the care which current polio
patients must have If they are to
win their way back to usefulness
and enjoyment of the satisfactions
01 hie
Second, until further research
improves the effectiveness of the
vaccine and of all other salrgtiards
against the damage of polio.
Third, until Uiere are enough
trained prote.ssional personnel spe
cializing in polio problems sci
entists, doctors, physical and oc
cupational therapists, medical soc
ial workers to overcome an
acute nationwide shortage.
Your child Is probably one of
the lucky ones who will never be
hit by polio. But only wnen these
aims are realized on behalf of less
fortunate children can any of us
cease our efforts In the light
against polio. Only then will polio
be licked.

timber were sprayed, killing 98
per cent of the sp;uce budworms.
The five-year assault on the bud-
worm now is practically over. This
bug once threatened to destroy
the forests.
On the Tillamook Burn, forest
rehabilitation now is 37 per cent
complete. On this 354,000-acre
tract, 39.949 acres were seeded
during the year. One million seed
lings were planted, and 500,000
snags removed.
For the 17th straight year. Ore
gon led the country in lumber
production, cutting more than
eight billion board feet.
Employment in the lumber In
dustry reached the 105.000 mark.
The stfle also took lie lei- 11
plywood production, and gained
rapidly In pulp and paper produc
tion. At the same time, a survey was
completed by the U. S. Forest
-1 Service, state forestry department,
and the timber industry. -It showed
tho state has 432 billion board feet
of merchantable timber, whleh
was much more than expected.
The department Issued 15.200
logging permits during the year.
More than 2,600 sawmills cut the
Douglas fir. western pine, hem
lock, red cedar and other species.
The knotty (no pun) problem of
timber taxation seemed headed for
a solution. The Legislature's Inter
im Tax Study Committee began
Investigations into the question.
The committee wants to recom
mend changes which would pro
mote retention of forest lands In
private ownership, and encourage
farm forestry and good timber cut
ting practices.
Farm forestry became big' busi
ness. The department gave help to
830 small woodland owners who
got (975.000 for their trees.
Another major achievement was
that ways were found to check
deer, bears and rodents from eat
ing newly planted trees in the
Tillamook Burn.
After the deer had eaten (100.000
worth of the trees in two years,
destroying 80 per cent of the trees
In some parts of the burn, the for
esters got help t from the State
Game Commission.
The result was that deer of either
sex could be killed by hunters In
1955. The forestry department
thinks the heavy deer population
has been cut to reasonable limits.
The foresters declared war on
bears, which had been ruining
many trees. Twenty - four were
trapped in Clatsop state forests.
A new rodent killer was discov
ered, and was used etlctively in
the burn. Rodents had been eating
a big percentage ol the seeds,
which were largely scattered by
helicopters.
Other developments In the burn
Include construction of a fourth
lookout tower. There are 92 miles
o firebreaks now. and 343.000
acres of the 354.000-acre burn have
been mapped by aerial photog
raphy. The biggest problem In the burn
now Is a human one.
Many of the trees are of Christmas-tree
sire, presenting a big
temptation to persons who like to

who takes over a position in the personnel office in San Francisco this week, was also presented
with a home movie camera at the affair, attended by more than 60 persons, including Division
Superintendent A. W. Kilborn and Assistant Superintendent J. C. Slade. All departments were
represented at the affair.
Trainmaster Teal Promoted To SF
A new trainmaster. C. E. Alward
of El Paso, Texas, will take over
the duties of Harvey A. Teal In
Klamath Falls effective today.
Teal, who has been trainmaster
here since February. 1948. has been
promoted to the personnel depart
ment in the Southern pacuic gen
eral offices hi San Francisco.
Except for two years, when he
was in Mexico with the Sun Pa-
cilico de Mexico, Teal has been in
charge ol the railroad between
Klamath Falls and Crescent Lake.
He has also been in charge ol
operations on the Oregon, Califor
nia and Eastern Railroad between
here and Bly.
This was the second stint In
Klamath Falls for Teal, who had
worked hereas a call boy and crew
dispatcher In the early 1930's.
"That's how I krew everybody
here." he said, "I used to get them
all up In the mornings."
He began hlr, railroad career in
Tucson m 193. and has worked
on the Tucson. Los Angeles, Sac
taiuento and Shasta Divisions. He
came here In 1948 from the Los
Angeles Division.
While m Klamath Falls, he lived
at 513 Eldorado. His successor, a
trainmaster in El Pnso, will live
at 1208 California Avenue.
Teal said he has worked closely
here with the lumbering and log
ging industries and has made many
special friends In those fields.
Some of the highlights of his
railioadlng career, however, were
the two years he spent in Mexico
working with the SPdcM. an SP
subsidiary which has since been
sold to the Mexican government
railway svMeni.

acle. Red tape in Mexico, he said, was
vicious, especially lor the loreign

he recalled, the sndicalo (labor

because the company had failed
to obtain the necessary permit lor
him to work and he had to leave
the Job.

he said, they had hi permit.
