Since this is to it would seem only fitting that we, in our er ring human manner, do all in our feeble powers to make it a grand and glorious year for our betters. Recently there have been all too many stories which handed the hu man element the short odds when it comes to benificence and left man's best friend the indisputable champ in the fields of humanity, understanding, cooperation and likeability. Almost every day, it seems, we see stories of mans' inhumanity to dogs. The innocent animals are left homeless and alone, they are tormented, one even had acid thrown in his eyes. In view of the very probable fact that us humans are going to be judged by a canine jury of our peers one of these days when we step over the great divide it seems only a matter of common sense to get in a few good licks while we are here and able Since there are too many laws as it is it looks as if the only plausible solution is going to lie in the field of human understand ing. Everyone, including the dogs would be happy if they were af forded half the little gratuities of life they are expected to provide for the amusement of their mast ers. Plus at least a look-in on the legal aide of things. As it stands now the dogs are getting the short end of the stick socially, legally and almost every other way. Most of this stems from the unshakable conviction on the part of most people that they are smarter than dogs, better equipped to handle the problems of the day, . Well, since this Is the case doesn't it seem logical that these same people should assume some of the responsibility? I can't help thinking it does. So, if that is the ease, let's make a few changes in the exist big laws and bolster our general relations with the canine tribe in the hopes of bringing about bet ter rapport on both sides. First, if humans want to assume all this weighty responsibility of being the master race let's see to it that they live up to their word. Let's make it a punish- able crime to abandon a dog, to keep a dog chained In unsuitable quarters, to short him come din ner bell time, to haul him out in the country and turn'hjm loose to fend for himself. Let's draw up a canine bill of rights that will give the dogs the same "rights" as humans enjoy. Man has voted himself a lot of self-assigned privileges, apparent ly for the sole purpose of frac turing them. He has burdened him self with a book of laws which he gleefully spends a lot of time bend ing out of shape to suit his own convenience. So why not the same civilized luxury for dogs? If this were done 1'U be will ing to bet that the dogs would live up to their constitution and by- laws a lot more faithfully than mankind ever has with his. I don't propose that dogs be given the same treatment as hu mans. That would be an unspeak able cruelty to perpetrate on helpless dog. But I do suggest that dogs be afforded not only their rights but the understanding of the human race. If that race is cap able of understanding anything except personal gain In short, let's make this Year of the Dog a white spot in canine history. Let's go ahead and let tho world go to the dogs. It might ne an improvement. Forest 1'ressurpM By CHARLES V. STANTON Editor, Rosebure Newi-Revipw At least two people in Douglas Counly are worried. I knnw. nhnni pressures for Increased timber aalse. one of those persons is Von dis Miller, the supervisor of Ump qua National Forest. I'm th nt hoi- Many others doubtless join our apprenension. At least most peo ple should, we feel. But, on the other hand, the pressure to break down the sustained yield harvest policy on national forests and pub lic domain timber land. uill ot increasingly heavy as the private upply of logs diminishes. The danger has been mentioned on numerous occasions In this col umn. It will, I believe, bear re peating frequently while the pres sures continue. Introdueine his 1957 rervnrl nn management of the Umpqua Na tional Forest, Supervisor Miller says: New wood-using industries con tinue to be built in the area In an effort (o round out manufacturing facilities and make plants econom ically competitive. With the mill capacity already far exceeding the timber supply this can only mean that some time in the near future those mills that cannot fully utilize the logs will be forced out in the bidding for timber. As the struggle for existence grows more grim, there will be pressures exerted to break down the sustained yield principle on the national forests. To do so could only lead to greater reductions lat er, and increased loss to the com munity. The Umpqua National Forest contains about one million acres and has an inventory of around 32 billion board feet of timber. Pres ent inventory data indicates an al lowable annual cut of approximate ly 303 million board feet. During 1957 sales amounted to 231 million board feet, or 72 million less than the allowable quota. Because modern techniques give greater utilization of timber, it is possible to raise inventories. A few years ago a cruise would show a limited volume of merchantable timber on an acre, because only straight-grained, disease-free logs could be sold. Today's practices, however, permit usage of crooked- grain logs as well as those contain ing some rot or disease. Thus it becomes possible to up the annual harvest in proportion to improved usage. But there is a great danger in tms situation. Operators of log hungry mills insist that the inven lories be stretched again. They keep adding to the pressure for larger allowable cuts. As more mills become dependent upon fed eral timber, more operators join the chorus. Until late years there were no brakes on the wood industry It cut its way across the continent, leaving denuded hillsides and ghost communities. The policy of sustained yield Is comparatively new. Roughly d scribed, it provides that timber from public lands shall be har vested only as rapidly as it grows, Operators are cutting timber from private forests much faster than a sustained yield policy would justify. Many areas already have virtually exhausted private timber and are dependent upon sales from public domain. Obviously compe tition is keen in those areas where mills must buy federal timber in order to survive. As other supplies grow less, the operators, of the hungry mills keep using every pos sible pressure to get a larger vol ume of federal sales. If, however the sustained yield policy ever is broken, we too will join the denuded landscape and the ghost towns. Because of the great need for every available log to feed our in dustrial production, the allowable harvest should be kept as high as a sustained yield policy will p e r-mit. The Umpqua National Forest, however, can't be kept up to Its full allowable cut without access roads. The access road program is progressing far too slowly. The Umpqua Forest last year had total receipts of $7,267,934. not Including power licenses col lected by the Federal Power Com mission. Operating expenditures were $1,026,365. This left a net profit of $6,241,569 for the year. It would seem that an operation returning $5 in profit for every $1 expended would be worth some capital investment. Yet we've been getting very unrealistic sums for the construction of roads needed to provide maximum efficiency in the management of this critically im portant "business." Unless the Department of the Budget and-or Congress awaken to the responsibility of trusteeship, we will have difficult time in main taining either an allowable cut or a sustained yield policy. Boss Back on Top By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK UWThe boss is the boss again. The down turn in jobs has made this forgotten figurehead of busi ness a person of importance once more. It always happens that way. When there are more jobs than people, nobody pays much atten tion to the boss. He tiptoes around the place talking to himself for fear that if he says something out loud he'll hurt somebody's feel ings, and the guy'Il quit and go to work for a competitor. But when there are more people than jobs such as right now the boss again becomes industry's "father image." The problem of the wise worker then becomes one of how to please his paycheck pappy. So it is time to revive again a forgotten American art the art of apple polishing. Your older hired hands, who've survived bad times before, know how to do this instinctively, just as an old boxer never quite for gets his footwork or how to pro tect himself in the clinches. It's the young employes, who've never known a recession, who are likely through pure ignorance to get gored by a rampant boss now. They need help. So here are a few tips on how to butter up a boss: ; First, find out who the boss is If there is a fellow in your office who used to sneak out to play golf at 2 p.m. but now goes around picking paper clips off the floor to cut down expenses, look no farther. Keep your feet off your desk while he is in view. If he speaks to you, rise to your feet and ad dress him as "sir," a polite term used in ancient times to one's su periors. It is not necessary, how ever, to salute him. (Not unless times get really bad.) Maintain a serious mien at all times except if the boss tells a joke. In this case laugh first and longest but don't overdo it. It isn't wise to let the boss know how scared you really are. Never Interrupt his old joke to tell a new one of your own. The boss no longer wants you to be amusing on company time. The only reason he Is telling you a joke Is to keep his own spirits up, When going to the water cooler stride up quickly and self-confi dently (as if you had really earned the right to a drink), gulp a fast one, and return to your desk. Do not linger around the water cooler to ambush the giggling sten ographers. Those days are over for the duration. Around noon go into the boss's office, ask him if you can borrow some salt and pepper, then ex plain, "A little personal thrift doesn't hurt anyone, chief. I'm bringing my lunch to the office now." Be more helpful in small ways, If you know your boss and his wife are going out for the evening, ask him if you and your wife can't baby-sit for them for fun. This, of course, is downright toadyism but it will please your wife to visit the boss's home and see that his wife Is an even lousier housekcep er than she is. Anybody who follows these sim ple rules will weather practically any office economy drive and probably be the first to get a raise when the boom resumes. That is. If the boss doesn't lose his own job. Pogo . w-,, lnw took. I vhb nAU MOkb NAM THAN lSU TUuuA OMurV . uut,ij uAdjc rto wee eawARP ) ttupeAVK.

J Women Only , By UNITED PRESS' The nation's favorite Dumb Dora has finally agreed to keep quiet in public, that is. Gracie Allen quit the team of Burns and Allen to become strict ly a Beverly Hills housewife this spring. Gracie says it has been her life-long ambition. But she can re flect on a show business tradition going back to 1924, when she first walked on stage to play "straight man" for George Burns. They got $., for the performance . . , and the audience laughed at Gracie instead of George. George, who says he is too old to retire, will not have a new partner "There will never be another Gracie," he says. As for Gracie, she gives the credit to her husband. "George al ways puts the funny lines in my mouth," she says, "now he will have a chance to get all the laughs himself. Senator Margaret ' Chase Smith of Maine, has submitted her resig nation as a member of the Repub lican senatorial campaign commit tee. The Republican senator would not explain her withdrawal. The tiny principality of Monaco is getting ready to welcome what it hopes will be a male heir to the throne. The practical country also hopes that the event will bring a large number of tourists in the off-season month of March. Princess Grace and Prince Rain ier were quoted by their news at tache as saying that "We would just as soon have another girl baby as a boy, since a girl would be a good companion for the 13- month-old Princess Caroline." The child is expected about March 15. But the Monagcsque people clearly are hoping for a boy. The birth of a male heir would be announced by a 101-gun volley from Monaco's two cannons. A male heir would also take prece dence over Caroline as heir to the throne. Grace is in excellent condition and physically active even though her baby is due within less than month. Her daily routine at the palace is unchanged, but she has reduced her social appearances on the outside. There will be somewhat less pub lic fuss for the birth of the second child, although elaborate prepara tions are taking place. The layette is being provided by the grandmother, Mrs. Margaret Kelly of Philadelphia, who is hav ing it made in several colors in cluding white, blue, green and pink. The palaca refused comment on the report that the princess might be expecting twins. As for the name of a boy or girl to be born, the palace refused to say any thing. Unknown?
