Caring For Mom Puts
WolS At Family Door
By ANN LANDERS
Dear Ann Landers: My spinster
sister made a death-bed promise
to mama that she would never
w put in a nurs
ing home. With
out asking me,
my sister said I
would take her
to live with me.
i nat was six
years aco when
mama was 82
Jday she is al
most 90.
Sister s promise was a safe one
because no nursing home would
take our mother. She belongs in
a mental institution. Fathvr If',
her a substantial inheritance from
which she has been drawing in
terest for 23 years. She has not
spent one dime of her own money
since father died. She is saving
it "for her old age."
My husband and I are going
broke keeping nurses in our home
around the clock. Mama can't be
left alone for a minute and 1
haven't the strength to be with
her more than eight hours a
day. Even with nurses on duty
she has set fire to the mattress
twice.
Is this fair when mama has
money of her own? She keeps
saying she's going to leave all
her money to a horse she sees
on TV. It would not surprise me
if she did. Please advise. MARY
Dear Mary: You need a lawyer
and I hope you get one fast.
It is not fair for you and your
husband to go broke raring for
your mother when she has an in
come of her own.
People who put money away
for a rainy day sometimes have
to be told it's raining.
Dear Ann Landers: I was a
booze-fighter when I met Wilma
and the booze was winning. I
had lost three good jobs because
of my drinking. Wilma helped
me off the juice and onto the
wagon. I was bone-dry for 17
months then Friday night it hap
pened. The office manager's wife had
a bahy girl after four boys. He
Green Belt
Law Backed
SALEM (UPI Sentiment was
expressed Wednesday for a tax
deferment proposal designed to
strengthen Oregon's "green belt"
law.
After enactment of the law in
1961 it proved to be a speculators'
bill which enabled land developers
to enjoy tax advantages intended
for farmers.
The law is designed to give
farmers in urban areas protection
against being taxed off their land
as new subdivisions increased
land values and resulted in higher
taxes.
Considered by the house tax
committee Wednesday was HB1230
which provides for deferment of
part of a farmer's tax bill. Under
the proposal, his property would
be assessed at agricultural value
and at its other potential use
value. The farmer would pay the
agricultural tax.
When the property was sold, the
higher value would be computed
for the preceding seven years,
and the tax would then have to
be paid.
Nobody opposed the idea of the
plan at Wednesday's hearing, al
though there was much discussion
of problems that might result if
the proposal became law.
The measure was referred to a
subcommittee for further study.
as out of his mind with joy. He
ordered up three bottles of Scotch
and invited everyone in the office
to celebrate with him.
I couldn't refuse to have just
one sort of a toast to the little
princess.
You can guess the rest. I blew
a dinner date with Wilma, in fact,
I didn't even remember we had a
date until 2 a.m. Then I telephoned
her. She slammed the receiver
on my ear and took the phone
off the hook.
Today I got my ring back by
special messenger. Please help
me. SAD AND SQRRY
Dear Sad: When will guys like
you learn that one drink is too
many and one hundred isn't
enough?
I can suggest only that you go
to Wilma and beg her to forgive
you. With a record of 17 months
of sobriety she may give you an
other chance. IPS. To Wilma.
Please give the guy a break.)
Dear Ann Landers: We raised
our niece right along with our
own children. Clara's parents died
when she was nine and we treat
ed her as if she were our daugh
ter. Last May she married a young
man who is pleasant but brain
less. He has a steady job at 3
mill and makes good money.
My husband and 1 own a little
grocery store. Every Friday with
out fail Clara and her husband
come to the store and fill up two
or three large shopping bags with
whatever they need. Clara says
"Thanks a lot" and they drive
off. , '
Is it possible they don't know
we have to pay for our merchan
dise? I just can't believe it, but
since they're both pretty stupid
that may be the answer.
My husband is fed up with this
weekly ritual. Would it be petty if
we came right out and told them
how we feel? As 1 said she is like
a daughter to us.-DWINDLING

Town Gets
Red Paint
Spray Job
HALEDON. N.J. (UPP There
was a strange hissing, a loud
bang and that's how part of this
town was painted red.
All along Church Street there
were fire engine red houses, ga
rages, lawns, trees, roads, cars
and snow.
A safety valve on a 1,000-gallon
heated container of red pigment
popped Wednesday at a noarbv
paint factory. The pigment shot
into ibe air through a vent pipe
and was blown about by heavy
winds.
"Gee what a mess." said Mrs.
A. H. Stueckle. "I heard a bang
and then there was steam going
up or at least it looked like
steam then it seemed to be
snowing red all over everything.'
"All of a sudden everything
started being all red, and 1
opened my door and I started
getting red.
The pigment splattered every
thing for more than 100 yards
around.
Carl Sievers rushed home after
telephone call and found his
three-story house was red from
roof to ground.
I just had it painted," he
moaned.
Mrs. George E. Moreland said
it "seemed as if everything in
sight was red."
"We had a snowman out in our
back yard when it happened and
now we've got a red snowman."
Fortunately the oil base had
not been added to the pigment and
a heavy ram washed much of it
away. Three lire trucks also
helped hose off the houses. But
most of them were left red-
streaked.
The paint factory is the Har
mon colors plant of the Allied
Chemical Corp. s National Aniline
division.
Company officials said they
would foot the bill for new paint
jobs so their neighbors won't, so
to speak, have to go in the red.

Helicopter Logging Of Inaccessible
Land Shown By Forestry Engineers
The feasibility of using helicop
ters for logging operations on up-
to-now inaccessible timberlands
in the Pacific Northwest and
Alaska has been demonstrated by
forest engineers at Oregon State
University, according to John E.
O'Leary. project director.
O'Leary. associate professor ol
forest engineering at OSU, has
been studying the possibilities of
helicopter logging since June 19S1
under contract with the U.S. For
est Sonice.
Until recently, timberlands
which seemed impossible to log
with conventional methods were
bypassed, O'Leary points out. The
point has been reached, however.
where such lands are tim valu
able to ignore.
In Alaska alone, there are ap
proximately 2.000.000 acres of
valuable timbcrland which up to
now. have been considered inac
cessible but which could be
logged economically by helicop
ter, he adds. It seems quite like
ly that helicopter logging may
have a very important place in
the future of logging, O'Leary believes.
He lists at least seven situa
tions w here helicopters may be
used in preference to the conven
tional logging methods. They
are:
. If it is cheaper to log by
helicopter than other logging
methods because of high road
building costs or low timber vol
ume per acre.
2. If soil conditions promtm
building logging roads or drag-
ging kigs.
3. If conventional methods
would destroy the beauty of a
particular area.
4. If quick action is needed to
remove timber while it still has
economic value from fire-killed,
bug - killed, or wind thrown
stands.
5. If right-of-way problems hin
der the development of a road
system.
6. If special orders require the
removal of a certain species in
a mixed stand prior to the final
cut.
7. If the topography or location
of the timbcrland is such that it
requires a special logging meth
od which the helicopter can pro
vide.
Helicopters cannot lie used ev-
eiywherc economically, O'Leary
emphasizes, and will not com-
)cte, for the most part, with the
conventional machinery used for
logging. Certain conditions must
first exist in an area in order
for helicopter logging to be pos
sible and economical.

by helicopter companies rather
than by the logging companies
themselves, the OSU forest en
gineer says.
Studies shosv that the average
rental of a helicopter would be
approximately WOO per hour for
a machine with a 5,000 pound
lifting capacity. Machines with
10,000 and 20,000 pound lifting
capacities might be rented for
approximately $500 to $(100 per
hour, respectively.
This high cost per hour is the
reason why conditions have to be
such that tlie operation can be
carried out quickly and efficient

der the ideal conditions men
tioned previously, about 14 to 17
trips could be made per hour.
studies show.
Because it appears that heli
copter logging will play an im
portant part in the logging fu
ture of the Pacific Northwest ami
Alaska, O'Leary has recommend
ed that the U.S. Forest Service
conduct further tests to deter
mine the long-term durability and
economy of helicopter logging.
conduct trial operations making
time and motion studies, and par
ticipate in programs to develop
helicopter logging in appropriate
areas.
