Oregon Technical Institute will be given annually by the Dugan and Mest Chevrolet Company, it was an nounced yesterday by Director W. D. Purvine. The scholarship will pay tuition nd resident fees for a student, from the Klamath Basin area for one or two years, and will be awarded annually beginning at the time of high school graduations fa June of this year, according to information released by George Dugan, Bob Mest and Purvine. Nominees for the scholarship will be chosen from graduates of Klamath County high schools as well as those of Tulelake and Dor--ris. Conditions will require that the student must need assistance and must wish to pursue occupa tional training at OTI in a one- or two-year course. If the student completes his first year of work at the institute with a 2.S grade point average minimum, the schol arship will be extended for the second year. The scholarship committee at OTI will select the student to re ceive the scholarship, as well as alternates, in case the first stu dent is not able' to attend.

Warner, is a junior at Klamath Union High School, and says he plans to study for a career in the ministry following his gradu ation from high school. He enlisted under a new pro gram set up by Congress last year which calls for six months active duty for training and seven and one half years in the ready reserve. Under this program, re servists may delay the six months until graduation from high school, and Warner said that this is when he plans to take his active duty training. He said he did not know whether he will transfer from the military police reserve to the corps of chaplains after he graduates from college or not. adding that it de pended on circumstances at that time. The program under which he en listed is open to young men from 17-18'i years of age. Case, who is display manager at Sears, Roebuck and Company, served for five years in the Army during World War II after being called to active duty in Septem ber, 1940, as a National Guards man. He served for a little over three and one half years overseas in the Central and Western Pacific, and received his honorable dis charge in 1945.

"Between 1942 and 1954." he con tinued, "the percentage of all Douglas fir domestic shipments terminating outside the three West Coast states increased from 66 to 79 per cent: Southern pine extra regional marketing Increased only a little more than 5 per cent." The freight rates set-up is such that the advantage to Northwest producers increases with the dis tance, he siML "Douglas fir has a greater ad vantage in distant cities such as Boston and New York than in near er cities such as Des Moines, St. Louis and Indianapolis," he said. He described the industrialized area lying north of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi as the user of about one-third of the lumber the country produces. About 40 per cent of the coun try's soft lumber comes from the Douglas fir region of western Ore gon and Washington and about one-third from -the Southern pine region comprising 10 Southern states, plus eastern Oklahoma and Texas, he said. He concluded: "Trends during recent years have been in the direction of im proving this (the Northwest's! favorable position, and there lis nothing in the Immediately fore seeable future that would indjeate any siguincant reversal.
