Tree Seeding Program on Bum Starts AROUND Accident with Ax With Two Planting Crews at Work HOME... Cause of Injury Tree planting on the big Tilla mook burn got into full swing last week as field crews dug in th-* 200.00oth seedling of the scheduled program calling for nearly four million fir trees which are to be used this fall and winter to restore the burned over area to production. Two 30-man crews are being used in the reforestation program. One 30-man crew, made up of convicts from the South Fork camp, is planting in the Jordan Creek area. The second 30-man crew, composed of hired person nel, is planting in the vicinity of the Suns.t highway in Clatsop county. Jack Hann, acting rehabilita- tion director for the state < fores- try d;partment, disclosed that a total of nearly four million seed lings will be planted in the burn by spring. This will bring th? total seedlings planted in the past four years to over 16 millibn. The forestsr reported that the cheap and efficient a.rial seeding method developed by the board of forestry is stymied this year for lack of Douglas fir seed. The 1953 fir se;-d crop was nearly a total failure and the scarce seed Can I protect my fur coat? I I brings about $25 per pound if it can be found. Forestry officials said that men of both crews average about 800 seedlings per man for each 8- hour day, with the number plant ed varying according to the ter rain to be reforested. Since July, 1949. when the state sponsor, d rehabilitation program started, 14,658 acres have been hand planted; 36,000 acres aerial seeded using helicopters; 228.000 s’nags felled; 121 milts of access roads built; 3 lookout towels erected and 54 miles of snag free fire corridors constructed. i i Completion of House Near ROCK CREEK — The Dere- berry house is nearing completion and is quit? an addition.

Horn, Agent 90S Bridge Street Phone 231 — Vernonia « Mist Sewing Club Selects Officers By Helen Sellie Home Extension Agrnt Now with Thanksgiving Day 1953 another day in the past, re latives and friends having come and gone, that left-over turkey might be looking quite large! Some recipes which are very "tasty” for these left-overs are included in a federal bulletin, "Turkey on the Table the Year Around,” which you may have for the asking from our office in the courthouse at St. Helens, or tele phone us—411. These recipes include: Turkey chowder, turkey pie, barbecued turkey wings, turkey ala king, salad loaf, baked hash, noodle scallop and others. Many Columbia county home makers tell me that they certain ly do appreciate being able to tuck away left-overs from the turkey into the freezer so they dont tire of having too much at a time. Directions for freezing prepar.d foods ar? also available from our office. As you know, the proper pack aging is of the utmost importance in order that the turkey meat will remain in top condition. The D ‘lena home extension unit has a very satisfactory child care program which enables the young mothers to attend regular meetings and know their child ren are under good supervision at the same time, without too much of a financial obligation involved. Each mother bringing a child pays fifty cents for the baby sitter and unit m.mbers help to contribute towards this fund also through food sales, Last Satur- day they sponsored a food sale at Bob's Market. In addition, this unit is also planning to raise money through the use of a "Traveling Basket.” The memb.r having the basket puts in some article she has made such as bakery products or some, thing hand-sewn and another member purchases it for fifty I cents. She the n replaces this item with something she has made and sells it to someone else. The Lindberg unit is also plan ning to use this "Traveling Bas- k t". The women enjoy receiv ing the “Basket,” besides having a method of raising money for their club.
