SUNDAY. DECEMBER 7. 15)58 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE 9 A 'Little Guy' Has Problems In Christmas Tree Industry By PKGGY WALSH DUNSMUIR "I'm just a little' guy." Joe Martinotti of San Fran cisco says of himself in character izing his rolp in the Christmas tree industry. "The big operators, they have bis problems. ... I got little problems." Martinotti on his annual tree cutting expedition has become a welcomed late fall guest at Cedar Lodge Motel in Dunsmuir. He has 1.200 silvertip trees stored in an unused lumber warehouse belong ing to the Ralph Smith Companv. He is currently cutting on Ralph Smith land along the backbone of mountains that divide Shasta and Trinity counties. Before he leaves for the city he plans to harvest 1.200 white fir and Douglas fir trees. ( The trees are slated for retail Druggists Fined For Substitutions NEW YORK (AP)-Two Long Island pharmacists have been fined $1,500 each and placed on three years' probation for using penny tablets instead of expen sive antibiotics in preparing pre scriptions. Brought in for sentencing Fri day in Brooklyn federal court were Charles P. Greenberg, 30, Plainview, N.Y., and Marvin W. Goldstein, 29, East Meadow, N.Y. The pair operated a pharmacy in Belhpage, N.Y. Judge Leo F. Rayfiel sentenced each man to one-year prison terms, then fined them and put them on probation. Greenberg and Goldstein plead ed guilty last Nov. 10 to using "cold tablets" costing them one cent aoiece to fill a nresrrini inn by a physician for antibiotic tab- jets costing 41 cents each. sale at the Clement Nursery in the Richmond district of San Fran cisco, a business owned and run by Martinotti. A one-man operation irom slope to store. Martinotti says he even delivers some of his trees to the homes of his custo mers. He used to buv trees from wholesale jobbers, he said, and got into the tree cutting business to have better trees to sell. Now lie returns every year because he enjoys the experience. "I lose a little weight and get a lot of fresh air," he comments. He savs he now cuts only to meet his needs on the basis of a fairly well es tablished clientele. Martinotti's problems stem from contracting to cut in natural stands of trees on privately owned hold ings, some days you walk a long way," he says. He used to harvest from forest service lands but (eels the forest service was more interested in tree thinning than good Ckristmas trees for market. Like the big operators. Marti notti is concerned about the ille gal tree cutter. He says he has had a timber operator's license for years and always properly eon tracts for cutting rights, both re quired for lawful Christmas tree harvesting. But he says he's never been stopped by any law enforcement agency and asked for proof of his legal siatus. "If they don't ask me, who do they ask?" he wonders, but adds with true Joe Doakes philosophy. "The day I leave my papers at the motel, I'll be slopped." Martinotti states he is a con servationist at heart. "Some of the fellows, they don't care. I prune, I thin because it improves the torest. 1 know I won t live long enough to see the result but who cares, it isn t much more work iff if i 'JO. . ax.1 .

These trees will find markets in the Richmond area.

Iranian officials deny that this right from a 1921 treaty still exists. The Soviet warning was pub lished in Pravda, the Communist party newspaper, and signed "Ob server." This signature is used on important hut ' unofficial state ments of Soviet foreign policy.
