Of late years we have heard a
lot about reforestation ol private
and public lands, the Tree Farm
movement and various forms o
taxation proposals to stimulate the
return of many devastated acres
of forest growth. The state of Wis
consin has a very Interesting his
tory in this subject and one that
is worthy of study by every other
state. One of the most significant
acts of the Wisconsin Legislature
and the people of the state was
the strong majority support that
elfected changes in the state con
sitution in 1924 to permit the prac
tice of forestry by the state even
though It was a work of "internal
improvement." Tills permitted the
assessment of general property in
the state as much as two-tenths of
a mill for forestry purposes.
The Wisconsin Legislature first
authorized a one-tenth mill tax in
1930, and this was Increased to
the full amount in 1931. This tax
has been a continuous fund from
the people of the state .and used
to stop the forest fires in the
north and central counties, it has
supported the state's two million
acres of county forests, , perfected
the several state forests and pro
moted an aggressive reforestation
program with millions of seedling
trees each year. Over 30 per cent
of Wisconsin s conservation fund
revenue comes annually from this
tax source.
All this work Is conducted by
the Wisconsin Conservation Com
mission whose budget over the
past 30 years has Increased about
10 times so that today, for its blen-
' nium operating expenditures for
1955-57 will require 10 million dol
lars. Tne majority of this money
will be spent lor personnel serv

managing lakes and streams, and
administering forest nurseries.
parks, public hunting and fishing
grounds, and other state proper
ties. Although this seems to be a
considerable amount of money.
several things must be taken Into
account that have forced the
growth of the commission's aotlvl
ties. First there is the increasing
pressures on all natural resources
by greater populations with more
leisure for recreation and more
demands for finished products.
Second, we must consider the re
duced value of the dollar in
flation, if you please. Third, there
is the factor of shorter working
hours and other employe benefits
set up lor nil state employes,
-.including conservation -"--workers.
Fourth, there Is greater demands
'for expanded services which can
only be met with increased funds.
These factors face every state de
partment dealing with natural re
sources in every state in our un
ion.
The more mature forests of the
state of Wisconsin need protection
from fires because a dry year
could still result in disaster, but
the fire problem has come to as
sume a second place, in conserva
tion activities because now it is
discovered that forest insects and
diseases are taking a greater toll
than fires and therefore present
difficult problems of control. The
state is currently working upon
an extensive forest inventory
which is expected to permit bet
ter forest management and like
wise benefit wildlife. Wisconsin
expects that there will continue to
be increased use of the state parks
and as a result there is an urgent
need for more maintenance and
management funds than are now
available. Out of this increasing
demand of funds has come a con
troversy since the state has dipped
into funds collected from hunter
and fisherman license fees to fi
nance the state parks which are
used by all citizens. Since 1927
some two million dollars- of game
funds have been so diverted at
the expense of vital programs of
watershed management, public
hunting and fishing grounds
so now the Legislature Is faced
with a problem of finding revenue
elsewhere for the parks.
Opportunity
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK !tf Opportunity
isn't scarce but the ability to
recognise it is.
When a million-dollar idea pops
up, few men nave the art to see
its true value and put it to work.
This is the story of two Milwau
kee lawyers who did. They turned
a personal annoyance into a multimillion-dollar
business.
Back in 1948 Elmer Winter and
his partner. Aaron Scheinfeld.
found themselves badly in need of
an extra typist to prepare papers
in a pressing court case. They
needed her quickly.
"At first we tried calling the old
eirls who had worked for us be-
fore." recalled Elmer, "but they
were all busy having babie. We
were in a real jam. It took a lot of
scurrying about until at the last
moment we linany iouna a gin
who could do the Job for us.
"Afterward, my partner and I
cot to talking about how there
must be many business firms
which ran into emergencies when
they temporarily needed extra
trained help and couldn't find it.
Yet there must be many people
who wanted temporary work of
this sort. Why couldn't there be
an organization to solve the situ
ation?" The two lawyers, after a prelim
inary investigation disclosed the
market was even greater than
they visualized, created Manpow
er, Inc.
The firm, which now has 11
offices here and in five foreign
countries, has built up a labor
pool of scores of thousands of

staffs to do practically any special
ized task In the industrial world
except construction work.
"We aren't an employment agen
cy," explained Winter. "We rent
help. Our people work for us, and
are paid by us."
The clients of Manpower, Inc.,
Including 79 of the nation's 100
largest corporations, range from
huge insurance firms, department
stores, and Wall Street banks down
to a small manufacturer who
merely wants a few freight cars
unloaded.
"We also have furnished disaster
crews to help out in hurricane and
flood relief work," said Winter.
But the odd-jobs firm has also
met a number of odd emergency
requests.
Once a convention of funeral
directors sent in a hurry-up call
for a girl model to demonstrate
a device deslimed to lift a corpse
from a marble slab into its coffin.
Another time a racehorse died
at a Cincinnati track and Manpow
er, Inc., was called on to speed a
crew there to dig It a grave in the
inlield. while sorrowing bettors
who had wagered on the horse
hung around mourning."'
But most of the firm's assign
ments are to fill the multifarious
chores of business offices, and
most of its employes are ex-career
girls.
"We don't look for teen-agers,"
said Winter. "We look for mature
people trained to do a mature job.
"There are thousands of middle
aged housewives who have reared
their children and who would like
to work part time, either because
they are bored or because they
frankly need the money. There are
also thousands of firms .that need
temporary employes during peak
seasons. We simply bring them
together.
"We act on a fireman's basis.
But one of the things we have
stayed away from -is baby sitting.
Too many headaches in it. All our
employes are bonded, of course.
but I don t want to feel responsible
for 2,000 little children every night.
I've got three of my own to worry
about."
But Winter, who is only 43, and
his partner have just launched a
new firm called Salespower, Inc.,
which will set up sales staffs to
market the products of small com
panies. "We feel It has an even greater
potentiality than Manpower, Inc.,"
said Winter. -

Nephritic
By EDWIN P. J ORDAN, M.D.
"Having recently found out that
I have nephritis" writes H.B., "I
wonder if you would devote a col
umn to it."
First, I should like to point out
that nephritis is the same thing as
Bright s disease, the latter name
being applied to honor the famous
English physician Richard Bright
who contributed so much knowledge
to the subject.
Nephritis is an inflammatory dis
order of the kidneys which may
start suddenly after an acute in
fection such as scarlet fever, pneu
monia, or tonsillitis or may develop
more gradually without any signs
of acute inflammation, possibly sev
eral months after an acute intecr
tion or even without any obvious
reason.
Brlght's disease may get grad
ually worse for months or years
and destroy more and more of the
functions of the kidneys. If only
one kidney Is Involved, it may nev
er be noticed, but if both are at
tacked the condition c,;n be se
rious. In acute nephritis the patient us
ually feels uncomfortable and may
notice some puffiness under the
eyes. Swelling of the lower part of
the legs, and perhaps even bloody
urine, slight fever and chilly sensa
tions are common. Nosebleeds,
headaches, loss of 'appetite some
times appear. The lessened amount
of urine and its dark, bloody, or
cloudy appearance are character
istic. Chronic nephritis starts more
gradually, though the symptoms
are like the acute variety but less
severe. Accumulation of fluid (drop
sy or edema) is common.
As soon as diagnosis has been
made by means of examination of
the urine and the blood, treatment
should be begun. In acute Brlght's
disease, bed rest Is necessary. Diet
is important and it is now devised
to fit the ability of the kidneys to
take care of the food eiten. Many
years ago most patients were
strictly limited In the salty foods
and proteins they could take. To
day more liberal allowances of
these foods Is sometimes permitted.
In the chronic or long-lasting
form of nephritis, special attention
is given to the accumulation of
dropsical fluid. Drugs are frequent
ly used to to stimulate the secre
tion of the urine or to other meth
ods of removing some of the ex
cess fluid. Accumulated fluid in
sida the abdomen is often drawn
off through a needle. '
Because so many of the infec
tions which bring on nephritis are
now being conquered or shortened
by the new treatments, it looks as
though chronic Brlght's disease
may become less common. Present
emphasis should be on attempts at
preventing nephritis. Once chron
ic nephritis has developed, a pa
tient should remain unde,r medical
observation and care. It has been
stated recently 'that by the intel
ligent use of penicillin in the treat
ment of streptococcal Infections the
frequency of nephritis should da
crease. Chronic Crisis
By CHARLES M. McCANff
United Press Staff Correspondent
France a enronic crisis in North
Africa has- entered a new phase.
Socialist Premier Guy Mollet,
confirmed by the national Assem:
bly only last Wednesday, is flying
to Algeria to look at things there.
Hablb Bourgu'ba, nationalist
leader in Tunisia, reached agree
ment In principle with Mollet in
Paris Friday on a program of
home rule in that protectorate.
Sultan Sldl Mohammed Ben
Youssef Is going to Paris Feb. 14
to. negotiate with Mollet on Moroc
co. Mollet and his coalition Cabinet
have given French North Africa
No. 1 priority on the long list of
their problems. Algeria comes first
in importance among the three
North African units.
It is evident that, in an attempt
to keep North Africa from going
the way of Indochina, Mollet Is
prepared to make big concessions
to burning nationalist spirit.
It is an almost desperate situa
tion. Unless France can hold North
Africa, Its empire now more po
litely called the French Union
will be virtually wrecked. And
France's status as a great world
power will be endangered.
Whether Mollet and his shaky
government can retrieve the sit
uation nobody knows.
For one thing, the more conces
sions the nationalists get in Al
geria, Tunis and Morocco, the
more they are likely to want.
For another. North African
leaders with whom Mollet will do
business are opposed themselves
by nationalists extremists who are
still waging a war of violence.
There also is a third factor. The
French colonists in North Africa
are fiercely and sometimes vi
olently opposed to any real con
cessions to the nationalists. These
colonials have powerful support in
the French Parliament.
A small but well-organized
"army of national liberation" is
pinning down nearly 200,000
French troops in Algeria. In Tuni
sia, Nationalist Leader Blurguiba
is opposed by Super - Nationalist
Salah Ben Youssef, who has gone
underground to wage revolt. In
Morocco, Sultan Mohammed can
not control the tribesmen who are
fighting ferociously against French
troops in the mountains.
Algeria is the great problem fo
Mollet. Tunisia and Morocco are
protectorates. Algeria politically is
part of France. It Is represented
in the French Parliament. If Mol
let can bring peace to Algeria, it
will be a momentous victory for
him. Few probably would be bold
enough to bet heavily on his
success.
Uncertainties
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK W Topping the un
certainties that have cast a listless
but wary air over the stock market
the tast five weeks is the guessing
about President Eisenhower s po
litical future.
Gossip has varied from day to
day, g.ving stock trading most of
whatever fillip It has ielt. Specula
tion on the subject apparently has
aimcteo mat nerve center ior lor
ward looking, the stock exchange,
much more than it has business
Itself.
Industrial planning - and con
sumer trade have jogged along at
the same old pace. Perhaps busi
nessmen are growing a little tone
deaf to the oft-heard chants of the
politicians.
But other uncertainties even if
lntertangled with the fascinating
game of picking Gettysburg or the
White House as the future address
of - the Eisenhowers also play a
part in making the stock trader
a dun boy.
There are uncertainties about
the turn the cold war may be tak
ing, about the date of the business
boom s cresting, about the chance
that the theory of government is
swinging back from economy to
more free spending.
- Stock traders have lived too long
with the cold war tp be panicked
by Its changes, but they do pay
them mind. .And' the Bulganin let
ters to the President, and the meet
ing of Elsenhower and Eden, have
raised new questions: Are the
Western Allies adopting some of
the war of nerves tactics them-
selves? Is the Russian peace feeler
pure propaganda? How should we
evalute the Soviet diplomatic and
trade moves in the Far East, the
Middle East and Latin America?
Congressional debates over the
amounts for defense spending and
foreign aid compound the uncer
tainties in Wall Street's eyes.
uncertainties on the domestic
front are largely a post-Christmas
phenomenon. Business thinking be
gan to change about six weeks ago.
Before that all the talk was about
a bigger and better 1956, with any
reservations few and far between.
Then business sentiment began
to react to the cutback in auto
production, the layoffs in that in
dustry, and the drop in home
building. The fashion now is to be
lieve that business In general has
so much forward drive that good
times will last till summer for
sure. Then will come the testing
time.
Vets Mail ling
Long - term aging veteran pa
tients, some hospitalized 20 years
or more, are being concentrated
in special sections of Veterans Ad
ministration hospitals for a new
program of "all-out" specialized
treatment to promote their recov
ery or to prevent further loss of
body and mind functions.
The new so-called intermediate
program is underway in 30 VA
hospitals and will be expanded to
others as rapidly as possible. Dr.
William. S. Middleton, chief medi
cal director, said.
Dr. Middleton explained that the
function of the program is to pro-
Tide actfra rattier than custodial

care for those long-term patients
in the VA hospital system who no
longer need definitive hospital
treatment, cannot return home,
and lack the capabilities necessary
for the new planned-living program
in VA domiciliarles.
Specially qualified staffs interest
ed in the care of such patients
as well as regular staff are re
quired to man these sections, Dr.
Middleton said.
For each long-term patient In
ine section, a planned mainten
ance rehabilitation program is in
stituted to retain the benefits of
hospital care already given and to
prevent the development of disa
bilities resulting from physical in
activity, Dr. Middleton said.
Moreover, he added, the section
staff will gear a planned activity
program to each patient's capacity
and need for recreational, spirit
ual and social activities to pre
vent mental regression and social
isolation.
Study indicates that 4.282 long
term patients in VA hospitals now
meet the criteria for these special
ized sections in general medical
and surgical hospitals and that
3,917 domiciliary members also
are eligible and could be bene
fitted by the increased medical
care.
Dr. Middleton said the problem
of oaring for the aging and
chronically ill patients in VA hos
pitals has been under special
study for several years.
The need to develop suitable
long-range plans to cope with this
problem is inherent in the present
veteran population of 22 million
according to Dr, Middleton, since
a considerable number will even
tually require long-term hospital
care. He said 584.000 veterans now
are 65 years of age, but only five
years hence the number is expect
ed to exceed 1,780,000.
The average age of the 110,000
veterans in VA hospitals is 48, in
comparison with the average of 38
years for the veteran population
as a whole. About 10,000 VA pa
tients are over 65.
Also to be considered in rela
tion to the problem of aging vet-!
erans is the chrontclty of disease
and its effect on length of hospital
stay. Dr. Middleton said. He ex
plained that approximately 34.000
of VA's current load of 110,000
patients have been hospitalized for
more than five years, with some
9.000 of the 34,000 having been hos
pitalized for 20 years or more.
Q. I am going to school less than
half-time under the Korean GI
Bill. What will be tho amount of
my monthly GI allowance pay
ments? A. You mtv receive either lit
the established charges for tuition
and fees paid by non-veterans for
the course, or (2) a pro-rated!
amount based on $110 a month!
for a full-time course whichever
is less.
Fluoridation
Klamath Palls, (To the Editor)
In connection with the letter
sent in by M. L. Rogers I would
like to say so what if iluoridation
does nothing more than help teeth
don't we want our children to
have sound teeth instead of fillings
and vacant spots where they have
lost teeth?
As for the assertion that the
Lord gave us water without fluor
ide, there are many places where
He did put fluoride in the water.
Fluoride may only benefit a few
but for those it won't help it cer
tainly won't hurt.
I, for another, don't want my
water "pickled," for the defini
tion is "a salt and water solution
for preserving." Fluoride has NO
odor or taste.
National health organizations
have endorsed fluoridation, among
them: American Dental Associa
tion, American Public Health As
sociation, U.S. Public. Health Serv
ice, to name only a few.
Only recently the State Supreme
Court upheld fluoridation in Bend,
so it can't be unconstitutional.
I am only one of many people
Interested in having our water
fluoridated. Let's hear from the
rest of you. I
