The complete article will appear in The Oregonian Sun day magazine August 3. STATES SAVINGS BONDS BY RICHARD L. NEUBERGER Want to go camping? There is nothing more typically Amer ican than this. It is a national pastime and Oregon is full of ideal places to stretch a blanket and light a fire. Mark Twain once observed that while Europeans invariably make excursions to inns and chalets, Americans take advan tage of their land's great open spaces when they can and sleep under the stars. Campfire bal lads and campfire traditions are largely products of the United States. Within Oregon’s boundaries countless choice camping sites invite the wayfarer, and many famous wayfarers have accepted the invitation. Rudyard Kipling pitched a tent on the banks of the Clackamas, Joaquin Miller bivouacked on the Grande Ronde and Herbert Hoover, Zane Grey and Supreme Court Justice W. O. Douglas have rolled blan kets and fried fish along other streams. Kipling Was Exultant “I have lived!" exclaimed Kip ling after his Clackamas trip, and Senator Charles L. McNary has declared that fir boughs and a night sky in Oregon are better accommodations than the Wal dorf-Astoria in New York. AND STAMPS ON SALE AT YOUR POST OFFICE OR RANK A merica O n G uard ! Above is a reproduction of the Treasury Department’s Defense Savings Poster, showing an exact duplication of the original “Minute Man” statue by famed sculptor Daniel Chester French. Defense Bonds and Stamps, on sale at your bank or post office, are a vital part of America’s defense preparations. Across the sky line of the primitive Mount Jefferson region files the pack train that accompanied motorloggers on trip. Thousands of Oregon’s people go camping now, but thousands more would do so if they knew how easy camping can really be. Some folks think camping re quires elaborate equipment; oth ers are sure it will involve dis comfort and hardships. Neither supposition is right. With com paratively 1 i 11 le equipment, camping can combine the at tractions of the outdoors with the snugness of your home. Like the lantern-carrier in King Hen ry IV, all you have to know is The camping-bound motorloggers were met by a pack train at Breiteubush lake, where, at th.o portals of the Mount Jeffer son primitive area, they left their well-known white car. a trick or two. Half of camping is knowing how. A motorlog party of The Ore gonian and the Oregon State Motor association has just re turned from a camping trip with “men who know how”—two United States forest rangers. All Motors Forbidden We went into the primeval fastnesses of the Mount Jeffer son wild area, where, by order of the United States govern ment, no motors may go. There are no roads, and automobiles must halt at its entrance. Cab ins, inns and other permanent buildings are forbidden. Motor boats may not even be used on the lakes. The area must re main in primitive condition. No commercial activity of any sort can be conducted within the borders of the area. Mining and logging are taboo. There are five such spots in the state of Oregon. Those ex- I ceeding 100,000 acres are known | officially as wilderness areas: those under that size but larger than 5000 acres are designated as wild areas. These dots of scenic grandeur, as unspoiled as before white men came west, are selected solely for their recreational val ue. They are carved out of na tional forests and set aside by the secretary of agriculture. Anyone penetrating their fast nesses must go by foot, horse or canoe. Yet good automobile roads lead to their portals. SPORTS Prize Winners Being Selected New Team to Play in League CARD OF THANKS Legal Notices— FOR SALE—Cheap. A Banlett sewing machine. House 54 O. A.
