Defying the demands of native nationalists to quit the continent the Portuguese are throwing all the resources they can muster in to their two great southern Afri can territories, Angola and Mo zambique. They do not underestimate the seriousness of the threat to their position, but everywhere this cor respondent went on a recent visit to Portuguese Africa he heard the same refrain: "Give us the men and the money to develop these lands and we will be here forever." As proof of their own faith in the future the Portuguese are giv ing development schemes top pri ority and digging deep into state; funds to back them. Plugging their multiracial segregation policy hard, they are. encouraging the 10 million Aln cans in the two territories to co operate with the 500,000 Euro- neans and show not only tnat black and white can work togeth er but profit from so doing. The Portuguese pride them selves above all else on knowing no color bar. The races mingle freely in schools and workshops, cinemas, churches and beaches. Africans Not Ready They claim, however, that the average Alrican has still not reached the stage of development where he and his fellow natives can run a country alone. The Portuguese refuse to share the views freely expressed in the United Nations that change in Africa is inevitable and that they must sooner or later pull out. In Angola and Mozambique1 there are doubters who will tell you, "If we are slill here in five years' time these will be great countries. But will we be? The optimists are more num erous. It is rare to find any European in the Portuguese territories whol intends to give in without a fight. People are not pulling out in the face of danger, they are mov ing in. In Angola in the first 11 months of last year 45.039 persons en tered the territory while 29.000 left. Yet it was in Angola that the lirst anti-Portuguese rebellion be gan in lDfil and is still troubling tne authorities in the north of the country. An estimated eight per cent of Angola is in rebellion. The Portuguese are confident they can contain the challenge to tneir authority. They have moved some 40.000 troops into Africa from Europe and, outside the af fected area, life goes on normally. Strife Avoided In Mozambique there has been no strife and hopes are high that it win tie avoided. The May summit meeting of Alrican leaders in Addis Ababa made it clear that the nationalist leaders on the continent are en, ing to wage a war of nerves. If not a war of bullets, on Portu gal. Algeria has threatened to send1 5.000 volunteers to fight Portucal ana oilier countries of the conti nent have joined in making threat ening noises. The Porlueucse take this calm. ly. They believe the newly inde pendent African countries have too many problems of their own lo be able to mount any sort of successful campaign against An gola and Mozambique, i'hey point out the Angolan elements direct ing tne present camnainn ansinci Portugal are themselves dcenlv divided and almost at war with1 one another. The Portuguese believe the new nations of Africa will gradually slip back into chaos. Thev fear such a development will nnly aid ine communists. Within 15 years the whole of Africa could be lost to the West if the present trend is not halted. We must build our brand of mul tiracial barrier to halt the land slide," one official told this re porter.

Family Summer School The day's agenda, we learned, would include collecting soil sam ples from an old lake bed around Mound Springs, approximately a mile from the western end of the forest. Although a large inland lake once covered all the basin. except perhaps the highest point at the east end of the forest. Ber ry's study records evidence that the present climate is very simi lar to that of the past 700 years. Mound and Sand springs provide the only surface water for miles around.

In spite of air-conditioning de vices, the electric Ian in some form or other is still a primary means of obtaining warm weath er comfort. Most modem fans have bearings that need very little oiling or none at all. If fans need oiling. they will have oil cups or oil holes for this purpose. Light machine oil should be used spar ingly on this type fan. Ne Brushes Motor brushes need renewing on occasion. These are small car bon blocks, each held in place by a small spring.

So says David Sarnoff, chair man of the board of the Radio Corporation of America, who de veloped a pioneering program in education designed to produce a greater number of young scien tists to meet a threatened nation al shortage. The program, sponsored joint ly by the New York Board of Education and RCA, brought em inent scientists and engineers in to the classrooms of four New York junior and senior high schools for more than 50 demon strations and lectures on space age technology. It is my conviction, said Sarnoff, "that our program, or others similar to it, can be du plicated wherever school systems and technological facilities exist side by side." 1 In the academic year just end ed, more than 200 students par ticipated in the program. It was concluded by a reverse visit that brought the students into RCA's laboratories and space centers. There, the students watched the scientists who had visited them in their classrooms actually at work on projects ranging from satellites to the optical behavior of ions. As this program has already demonstrated, a bridge between industrial science and the class room can be efficiently and eco nomically constructed," Sarnoff said. In an informal survey con ducted at the end of the program, 91 per cent of the participating students said the course enriched their science studies. Largest raindrops ever meas ured were about W-inch in diame ter: smallest about one-twentieth- inch in diameter. RENT th HOST Eltctric Brush WMN ClMMtf t V" HOIT ClIANIO.

Opal would more likely be occupied with weighing and tabulating informa tion about each soil sample. An auger would help with sampling, with each hole refilled promptly. Soil moisture samples were placed in moisture proof paper bags and weighed immediately Later they would be air-dried at 70 degrees at approximately 40 per cent humidity. Lunch time furnished a special break, often eaten in the shade of the auto mobile. What, more specifically, did Dick hope to show in his study? The completed dissertation defines his objectives: To characterize vegetation, soils, and climatic factors in the Lost Forest and adjacent area; to compare soils and relate them to vegetation types, where possible; to deter mine the natural stability of the Remains screw into the motor casing. With fan disconnected, remove the cap and examine the brush. If the end is worn and is be coming concave, replace it. Check for broken springs, too. Larger exhaust fans, either win dow-mounted or placed in I h e ceiling, will pull cool air through the entire house. These are kept in use through the night, when outside air is cool er. These fans replace the warmer air inside. Effectively done, your home can remain cool through the daylight hours, too. Window fans are large affairs that are designed to be placed in an open window with the full open ing or complete removal of one unit of the window. Choose your location carefully. If possible, use the window in an upper floor on Ihe sunny side of the house. Then open a win dow on the shady side of the house so that you replace warm air with cool air. Keep windows adjacent to the fan closed. If you leave them open, air will simply move from the window alongside the f a n right out through the fan again, without ventilating the house. An attic fan also moves the air, only more efficiently. It should be installed so that air is drawn through the entire house. The fan should be high and cen trally located. In a one-floor house, place the fan in the ceiling, centered un der the roof. In two-floor homes, it can go in the ceiling of the second floor, at the top of the stairs. There should be exhaust open ings in the attic in the roof, ga ble ends, under the eaves or, per haps, a special dormer louver should be provided. Openings should be screened. If the fan is mounted in the wall of the attic, all other attic openings should be scaled so the fan does not simply pull a i r through the attic. Windows on the lower levels of the house should remain open during the night so that cool air can enter to replace the hot air being pulled out.

TULEIAKE present stand and ascertain whether it is increasing or de- en-.creasini;: lo determine tne means by which ponderosa pine trees exist under the present con ditions of low precipitation; to determine the origin of the stand if possible and to determine the impact of past and present land use on the forest and immediate vicinity. To determine plant communi ties and various relationships en compassed in an ecological study, data gathering was methodical. In June. 1959, the work was be gun by making compass and pac ing traverses of roads, boundar ies, section lines. Notes were made of vegetation, topography, tree growth, soil surface charac teristics and other conditions. The data supplied details for a map of traversable roads. Even the inexperienced eye could tell that tli4 ponderosa pine stands are very sparse when eval uated by commercial forest stan dards. And what of the encroach ing sand dunes which border the forest and cover much of it in the form of low dunes or sand sheets? What scientific scheme would provide statistics to answer those questions about the past and fu ture of the Lost Forest as well as tell the present story? When it came to sampling veg etation, Berry used a system al ready developed. This involved use of plots which are adapted in dimension to the size and area of influence of individual plants. For example, a smaller plot is used for sampling grass than for shrubs and trees. Rectangular macroplots 50 by 100 . feet were established by means of a compass, steel corner stakes and previously measured wire boundaries. "Within the 50 by 100 foot macroplot four indi vidual transects each 2o leet in length are located by random as signment. Ten plots (4 by 5 feet) are located systematically along each of the random transects for shrub evaluation. For grass and torb evaluation, 10 plots of one foot by two feet are located on five-foot stations along the same transects." Berry descrilws, all part of the pre-designed system "The underlying assumption is tnat accuracy ol sampling is more efficiently achieved with a larger number of smaller plots than with plots of greater size," Ber ry said. Opal Berry was on hand day ny flay lo assist with tins de tailed work. Their son, Larrv. also proved a good assistant that iirst summer, cither helping en tertain the smaller members or helping Dad stake out plots. Now enrolled in college, Larry helped in his grandfather's lumber yard in Burns the second summer of forest life. But Opal had every skill need ed lo be a good assistant. Be sides being a homcmaker, she a versatile, vivacious individual has enjoyed her career in the edu cation field. We could easily ima gine her in any of the roles she mentioned teaching art in sen ior high, fourth grade classroom instructor, supervisor of student teachers in Oregon Slate Univer sity's education department, or dean of girls hi a Salem junior high school. And once she was a summer forest lookout. Tabulating plant numbers and types for Dick was a contribution willingly made. Besides, a beau MODOC COUNTY CO-OP Altuiat, Calif.

Ponderosa pine and western jun- per were tne trees recoraea, with only the latter existing out side the forest boundaries. At the same lime records taken in their own weather station, compared with available data from long term study in the general area, indicated there was little local variation in precipitation. The study of growth rings of trees indicated that the climate had been very similar for the past 700 years. There must be another answer lo a pine forest's existence where rainfall average 9.5 inches per year when these trees normally require 16-20 inches. Forest Keys hound What about soils? Berry's stud ies showed them to be character ized by two major factors. One is the nature of the ancient lake bed which provides the parent materials for many of the mod ern soils. The other, the disposition of the drifting sands from the dried up lake bed and lake shores. The sand had a profound effect simply by covering the soil to considerable depth. The species of plants and their relationship to each other are also profoundly influenced by the sand. Berry tells. In fact, the sands are responsible for allow ing the forest to maintain itsell by compensating for the low pre- ipitation through its high per meability and its efficient reten tion of moisture against evapora tion. Holding another key to survival is the gray rabbit brush which grows as a low shrub, sometimes reaching 50 years in age. The reconnaissance and estab lishing of 30 macroplats during the summer ol 19o9 rcvealea. Berry records, "that the estab lishing of pine seedlings nearly always occurred under or very close to gray rabbit brush plants. In some areas, particularly open sand, pine seedlings were found to be relatively abundant but nev er occurred except in conjunction with one of these shrubs. In the sands this shrub pro tects seedlings from winds, high soil temperatures, low humidities, and excessive soil surtace dessi- cation while leaving moisture ad equate for seedling development. Family Recreation It was early to bed and early to rise to take advantage of the cool morning hours for work. Family reading and singing, plus plenty of imaginative games, gave variety to the schedule. Dick's technical library in an apple box atop a tree limb was most important to him. But the chil dren had their own kind of books, and Opal's collection of paper backs was just right for sandy conditions. There was time to re read some of the classics and browse through the moderns, too. Visitors were frequent and nearly every weekend there were friends from Corvallis or Port land, bringing fresh fruits and vegetables and replenishing the water supply. City people enjoy getting into quiet, primitive areas it was proven. A trip to the big sand dunes would provide hours of entertain ment. Jumping, rolling and dig ging were always fun. The sand was moist and inviting under a foot or so of warm, dry layer. Then there was the big day every three weeks when the fam YREKA SEED and GRAIN Yrcka, Calif. SISKIYOU RANCH SUPPLY Montague, Calif. THE SPRAY CENTER Ttileloltf, Calif. ily made the 121-mile journey to Burns. This meant a visit with Larry, as well as Opal's parents; clothes were washed and dried i but rarely was there time for roning i and, of course, thev brought back a fresh food supply. The first meal back in the forest was always charcoal broiled chicken, the most perishable of the fresh meats they selected. An earthen cellar assured cool water and juices, always providing re freshment. Homeward Round Data collected, there was time for a few days of fishing before the homeward trek. Along with the facts and figures, soil sam ples, pine tree cores, and insects for the school terrarium went some pine cones collected from four trees in widely separated portions of the Lost Forest. For comparative germination studies, cones were also collected from three other sites of similar ele vation. A year of study remained in laboratory testing and the writ ing of the document. Here Berry analyzed soils, carried out seed germination and drought resis tance tests, studied tree cores to show annual growth, and assem bled weather information. Sever al brief visits to the forest pro vided additional data. In setting down the results of the research, Berry recalled evidence of land use grazing, skid trails around mill sites from light log ging operations. But these had only a minor impact when com pared to the sand's effects. Added to the lake sand were the upper layers of soil blown off land cleared early in the century by homesteaders lured by glamor ous advertising. By 1920 nearly all had left. Whence came the forest? Ber ry says it "appears to be a sur vivor of a more extensive pon derosa pine forest which was iso lated by the late post glacial lakes rather than by encroaching desert, Ponderosa pine pollen along with the pollens of chen- opods, grass and possibly juniper were found in Mt. Mazama ash near the center of the forest." The presence of the pine pol len in Mt. Mazama pumice sedi ments indicates, he ieels, that the forest existed near its present lo cality, at least as a few trees, approximately 6,400 years ago. And "barring the introduction of some exotic enemy or disas trous fire, the forest will prob ably continue to exist and repro duce itself," the thesis testifies. And so families may continue to enjoy this oddity called Ihe "Lost Forest," finding content ment in isolation. If initial con sideration matures (he forest, Fossil Lake and the adjacent sand dunes may be designated as a recreational area. Improved access roads will mean wider use. The search for fossils will continue. Shouts of laughter will come from tum bling, rolling figures on the sand hills. And, perhaps, someone will think to look for a small pine seedling 'neath a seemingly worthless brush plant. Then, like the Bcrrys, they'll really "find" the Lost Forest.
